I am looking at building a new gaming rig and was wondering if this motherboard the aorus master is over the top for just gaming alone

I wouldn't say it is over the top so to speak. It is still a mainstream board, just on the pricier end. You get more internal headers, lighting...etc. These are all just bells and whistles that make building custom PCs easier and it gives you more flexibility with what you can do to your PC. I helped a friend build his first system and this is the board he chose. It looked great and had plenty of support to set up his build no problem.

 

From a building perspective, I'd say go for it!

depends... what is your budget and other components? it's hard to say if it's overkill or not
