OK,
I am going to make 2 final upgrades to this system.
I am looking for some input for a motherboard and CPU. What I want is the latest in technology with the best performance. Please let me know any ideas you may have.

Thanks in advance

CPU: Intel Core i7-2600K (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115070). You will NOT be dissapointed. This is one of the most powerful processors out there, beating the 980X in some tests, and it's $700 less, runs cooler, and is newer.

Motherboard: GA-Z68X-UD4-B3 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128494&Tpk=GA-Z68X-UD4-B3). I use the P67 version of this board and it has been rock solid, but since you wanted the latest technology, I'd go for the Z68.
