My university wants to buy a system, to initially process small to medium data sets, but that can be upgraded later. I've been looking at this motherboard. What you ya'll think?

Which CPU should I use?
I would find something that uses DDR4 ECC RAM and not DDR3. DDR4 prices are just 10% more than DDR3 right now. If you want something you can buy RAM for now and expand on later then DDR4 will be much cheaper in the future than DDR3.
As for a CPU, the highest clock speed 2011-v3 6 or 8 core Xeon you can afford. Just remember, if your going to do a system with 2 CPUs it has to be a E5-2xxx CPU and not a E5-1xxx model.
