I like what you're saying and i feel the same way too, i actually wanted to get the same setup as i would think it would be great to OC on it and 3ghz ram ? Why not ? But here it seem like everyone seem to discourage ppl to jump on x99 cuz "cost" yea its new thec yea its expensive has to be expected and while i might not use the full potential of x99 it still look interesting enough for me to want it even if i have to pay 500~600 more
What happened to true enthusiasts? Its not the best for gaming hell you might get 2more fps at most atm, but new tech new stuff to play with new fun. But yea like stated above if you care ONLY about gaming and nothing else i guess you shouldn't jump on x99 but if you like new stuff and you really fell like you want it you shouldn't let ppl discourage you just cuz "no benefit to gaming so not worth" type of stuff
