My initial list of suggestions, probably a bit on the expensive side but I am in a hurry. Anyway I need to travel for a bit so I will just leave these here for people to comment on.
Motherboard, I have good experience with Biostar, far better than Asus, and this looks like a good option. An LGA2011 slot is a must and if you are going to have this computer for a long time a lot of USB 3.0 slots are nice. If in 2-years or so you want to upgrade swap out the CPU, it will likely do more than increasing RAM.
CPU I was tempted to go for the 6-core version but that would break the budget.
RAM Decent speed for the cost, I decided not to go with overclocking the motherboard for faster RAM.
E: "Did they... did they just endorse the combination of the JSDF and US Army by showing them as two lesbian lolicons moving in together and holding hands and talking about how 'intimate' they were?"
B: "Have you forgotten so soon? They're phasing out Don't Ask, Don't Tell."
