Budget X99 Board

[TheGhzGuy]

Hello LTT Forums!

I am building a Video Editing/CAD/Rendering/Gaming PC. I just wanted so advice in terms of the motherboard. (I know it does affect performance, but I just wanted a second opinion). The two motherboards I am considering at the moment are the ASRock Extreme4 and the MSI SLI Plus. I've used three ASRock boards in the past and I was getting a little tired of them so I decided to look at the MSI board (I am a bit of an MSI fanboy). Anything else I should consider or other thoughts? Thanks!

Msi and asrock are the cheapest x99 boards. Asrock is the cheapest one but the msi looks better to since its all black. But their both could choices

When you go into high end boards like x99 they all will work very well. Just pick the one that you think looks the best (if that's important to you) and has the most features you want at the lowest price.

The one thing the ASRock has, I think, is better audio. But both boards will have far better audio than my laptop
