Hey there. Could you help me?

I am a total PC noob, so please don´t get mad for asking very stupid questions... But anyways, I would like to built my first gaming/video editing PC. I am curious about the compatibility of these two Xeon processors:

Intel Xeon E5-2670
Intel Xeon E5-2658

with this cheap mobo: MSI X99S GAMING 7 LGA 2011-v3.

Thanks a lot for an answer in an advance. :)
Have a nice day!

Most of the x99 mobos support the xeon e5v3 and v4 as of now. A decent board that works with Xeons for sure, is the Asrock X99 extreme 6. Probably all their x99 line would work with Xeon. But you should always the cpu support list on the manufacturers site. The extreme 6 would be my motherboard of choice for an x99.

Do you have the 2658v3 or you are planning on buying it? If you have that kind of money I would suggest checking the new 10core or investing in a dual cpu system. The only reason I am asking this is because the 2658 is kinda slow for modern gaming if framerates are an issue.
