You're thinking about the Xeon X5675 and want a solid motherboard without breaking the bank. A good option would be something like the ASUS PRIME Z690 or MSI MEG, which offer decent performance at a reasonable price. As for ECC RAM, it's not mandatory unless you're working with critical systems or high-end applications.

What comes next in the setup? A server or a desktop board? Probably start with a refurbished X58 board, though it isn’t inexpensive. I think using an ECC board would be better since registered ECC is more affordable and reliable.

Why would you be buying such outdated components? This chip's IPC is significantly lower than modern options like an AMD Ryzen 5 2600.

Only purchase X58 if you can find a reliable used motherboard and keep the CPU or RAM costs below $100.
