Maximus vi Formula is you're going for a stealth look?

I like the color scheme of Noctua fans. Deal with it. Forget about the bad memories of the past.

Forget about the bad memories of the past, take the good ones along with you through the present, and look forwards to the good things that will come in the future.

Z78 Sabertooth is a great motherboard, and it has a 5 year warranty.

Guyz can I have your opinion in this? I'm really confused whether I shall get the Maximus VI Formula or not!!

 

1- This is going to be my 1st build

2- I'm not some hardcore overclocker nor obsessed with Customized watercooling, I'm just a casual gamer and performance matters to me like anybody else.

3- This build won't be for games only, I might be running virtual machines in it ( Hyper-V and VMware for example )

4- Color scheme matters to me too "Black and red like the Maximus lineups and MSI gaming series motherboards" :D

5- Included Wifi along with the bluetooth is a bonus for me.

6- Is this motherboard way highend for me to have? Do I have other options?

 

I feel like I should get this motherboard maybe I need somebody to push me... but really guyz I need your honest opinion in this.

 

Thanks in advance :)
