ram/cpu compatability on the x99-a

[bigbennik]

I have just got a Asus x99-a motherboard and have been looking at CPU's maybe something like a 8 core XEON as they are a lot cheaper than the i7's but I don't know if they are DDR4 compatible. Can anyone recommend a good CPU that supports DDR4 in the £100 - £250 price range.

Xeon E5-2603 v3 or maybe E5-2609 (not sure on pricing where your are) and check your compatibility list, these are the lowest priced Xeons I can think of
