I do a LOT of audio and video editing, as well as gaming and use a number of engineering software (simulation programs mostly). I'm looking to build a new computer and ran into a couple things I wasn't sure about.
If I get this motherboard and a couple processors, is there a way to programatically work it out so that all of the background system processes run on one specific processor? Because, if so I'd get this processor for the background system processes and this one for every thing else.
Is there a utility that can help me accomplish this, or would I have to edit the OS code?

Welcome Slim! 
To send all of the background processes to one processor and the rest to the other will be quite tricky; you will manually have to set which program you want to run on each processor. To do that, you will open up Task Manager, click on the Processes tab, and right click on the process you want to designate to a specific processor. You should see a menu item called "Set Affinity." Click on that and on this window you will be able to select which processor/core you would like the program to run on.
