Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-2650 v3 10 Core is what I was looking at getting this instead of a 5960X for some After Effects heavy lifting but their doesn't seem to be many details on this cpu. I do not know as much about the Intel xenon lineup as the I7s.
Yes that cpu supports all types of DDR4 ECC. Its a great chip for video editing and content creation because of how many cores it has too offer. Although I must tell you that Intel will be launching Broadwell-E which will refresh the Xeon lineup and 2011-v3 consumer oriented parts as well. This lineup will more then likely include 10 core cpu's at a lower price then you would be getting with the 2650-v3.
This chip is only 999$ at Microcenter and I know Broadwell E is around the corner but If I always waiting for the next best thing to give me a small 5% performance increase I would be waiting forever. The Main issue is E5-2650 v3 vs 5960X 899$ for this workload and considering If the E5-2650 v3 will work with my 64GB 2133 DDR4 none ECC Ram kit.
Xeons, at least in my experience with the E3 series, work with ECC and non-ECC RAM. Although I honestly would go for ECC if the cost isn't too much more and you don't mind the lack of gamer bling.
EDIT: ECC is more on the motherboard side of things. Some only work with only non-ECC, some only with ECC, some with only certain types of either.
Yea Issue is I have a 64Gb ram kit of none ECC in current system. Also from what I understand ECC will have 0 benefit for my workload.
We aren't talking a silly refresh were talking a fully unlocked and overclockable 10 core with a base close of 3ghz. If you OC I would wait without a doubt.

Yes it has the validation all xeons do when paired with the correct chipset
The cpu should work with non ECC DDR4 ram.
However they will most likely run on 2133mhz max.
That is fine the kit I have is 2133. Other issue is trying to see if it would work now in my X99 Sabertooth otherwise I have to get the 5960X.
You could check cpu support list.
i think it should work.
