Why? EVGA is an amazing option.

Looks very nice, if only it had blue instead of red...

I love these overly expensive motherboards because literally in a couple of years, a brand new sub 200 dollar motherboard will be better in every single way.

I'm talking about looks the Asus looks better to me not performance

It's an enthusiast platform with $1000 CPU's, of course it's going to be expensive.

 

 

IMO compared to the rest of the boards x99 has shown so far, this is hideous.  EVGA's z97 classified is so much better looking, I don't know why they didn't use design cues from that on this board.

I knew it would be expensive.

Then why does your message seem like you're upset with it?

There has been $400-500 motherboards for a long time now, it's not like it's a new thing

 

And besides, this is the first consumer platform to support DDR4 (to my knowledge)+ an 8 core extreme edition, so $400 really isn't that bad in the big picture if someone is already going to be spending well over $2000-3000 on a system

I wasn't upset. What you were reading was poor people awe.

I KNOW!!! Why can't the other MOBO makers do this?! It makes wiring so much cleaner!
