That processor would've been top of the line back in 2013. A decade later, not so much. As for a chipset for that processor, you should look at an X79 chipset board.

Hello, I’m building an over kill system.

What software will you use that takes advantage of 2x CPU?

Why 2x old CPU?

Consider a modern Threadripper Pro if you need lots of cores? Could get very expensive though, but older (second hand) Threadrippers are more affordable.

What apps are you running that need up to 512GB system RAM and optical drives? What OS will you be running?

M.2 NVMe would probably work faster than SATA drives.
