I work for Micro Center and we a part of Intel Retail Edge. They have a Winter and Summer deal so I got a 5930K for cheap (takes 6 weeks to ship that thing..) so I know the RAM I will be buying, (Cosair LPX...or Dominator) but I am stuck on what board to choose.
I have it down between ASUS, MSI, and Gigabyte. I've seen mixed reviews everywhere. Anandtech and Tom's Hardware all suggest that the Asrock boards are the recommended or "smart buy". I hate their color choices. But, that doesn't mean I'm not open to them. I'm looking to do a tiny bit of overclocking and eventually a second GTX 980. Regardless, will be easy with X99 but I want to know if there are any issues out there.
So if someone could lay it down for me and tell me the straight up answer on what are the best choices, not just one choice but multiple, that would help A LOT. I've heard Gigabyte has a lot of BIOS issues. I heard the same for the ASUS X99 Deluxe sooo... Even if you own one, that would also help. Tell me why you chose it and the pro's and con's. This build will be awesome and with your guy's help, can make this awesome. Can't wait to hear what answers there are!
