ASUS RAMPAGE IV BLACK EDITION & Intel Xeon E5-2640 (2.5GHz)

[Guest]

Hey,
I would like to create a custom build.
I wanted to ask you about compatibility between the following:

Motherboard: ASUS RAMPAGE IV BLACK EDITION
CPU: Intel Xeon E5-2640 (2.5GHz)
RAM: 64GB DDR3 (x8 RAMs of 8GB)

Many thanks!

That's a strange pairing but yes with BIOS version 0507 or higher. (E5-2640 V2)

can you please help me and say whats strange ?
I have already bought the CPU & RAM. now I need to fit a motherboard..

That's a rather expensive and slow processor to be paired with a expensive motherboard.
To me a lower priced 5820K processor paired with a low priced X99 board would of given better performance depending on what your going to use it for,

I want an ultra-fast computer.
I'm using my computer all day, I also play games like GTA V.
Can you please recommend me on a good motherboard? I already bought the CPU & RAM so I can't return it..

This is my first computer built and I dont know much about it..
