Answer
I am going to save you $100 right now. How??? GO for an i5 2500K instead. You said this is for gaming. The 2600K is geared toward Rendering, Encoding, Cad and all that jazz. If you want a gaming computer go for the 2500K. With only a 100MHz difference between the two the gaming difference is negligible with the 2500K even being ahead in a couple games http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/287?vs=288 . Where you want to invest that $100 is up to you. I would suggest this board http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130583 instead with this RAM http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231311 . It's what I have and together they are very stable even when overclocking( like Ryan said. you need a P67 or Z68 board to take advantage of the overclocking ability of the i5 2500K ) the CPU & GPU. Boards are the same price and my board can handle SLI and Xfire. It is stamped right below the first PCi rail. A bit of the money you saved can be invested in a proper PSU that will be able to power two of your 570s. It is the one I am buying when I buy my second 570. I will be upgrading to a 40" but that will be after the holidays.

workstation/ super gaming computer build?
Otis
I a little confused in some areas when it comes to building a computer I know the basic for regal computers but not workstation. Which is my problem. I need a high end work station. Something that could run programs like after effects, premier and cinema 4d and work really well. I would also like to be able to play some games that coming out along with old ones. Such as skyrim with high powered mods, crysis 3 and fallout. I would like this build to have two xeon processors, water cooling for both and if it is possible have 3 monitors. This has to be under 8,000$ can you build me a computer that can do these things with the price limit. (remember the 3 monitors is not mandatory but if fit put it in there.)
Answer
The benefits of dual xeons are dimishing returns. Spending another $1900 on a second 8 core xeon, you gain about 40% or less in productivity speed, that is with heaviliy threaded software. Right now a single 3960X overclocked to 4.5-5.0Ghz under water will be the fastest rendering you can achieve, and without the hassle of dual socket problems. A lot of programs will simply not run at all with over 12 cores too.
This puts you in the X79 or C606 platforms. Asus and asrock motherboards are fantastic. Gigabyte unfortunatly has voltage problems so i cant reccomend them since your overclocking a 3960x. Make sure you get a motherboard with 8 ram slots, and i would start with 4x8gb sticks of ram(32gb) and see if that is enough, depending on the length of your after effects footage.
If you are also gaming, I would recommend a Gtx 680 sli (as opposed to nvidia teslas). Tesla cards are much more expensive and basicly have extra features. I dont see them as worth it. Two as a start, upgrade to 3 if you really feel its nessisary. Nvidia uses cuda and most adobe softwares can use this resource. Triple monitor nvidia surround should be fine with two gtx 680s, if your running 1080p monitors. If you plan on using 2560x1440 monitors you may want to get two gtx 690s.
For monitors, Dell makes the best panels, Asus is also a new player in this market. BenQ is the best value for 2560x1440. Samsung also makes good monitor panels. 27-30 inch should be what your looking for.
For ram, it depends on the use. If your using ram disk, load on up 64gb of 2133mhz with a cas latency of 9. If not, 16-32gb should be enough for after effects shots.
You will need at minimum a 1200w power supply. If your running 690s, you may need a 1500w.
The water cooling will depend greatly on your case, Silverstone TJ-11 can fit a quad 140mm rad. Mountain mods and Caselabs make amazing modular aluminium cases, and at a good price as well.
Hope this helps.
