So I'm building another z170 build soon and I don't know what to choose. I want ATX and around $300-$400... I will be running Autodesk Inventor 2016 and I want reliability and overclockabilaty. I am an Fanboy of both EVGA and Asus. I'm trying to decide between the Deluxe and ws board. I like the deluxe for the color scheme which will go perfect with my build but It doesn't have workstation grade components like the ws board. I'm toatally fine with the black.... i just don't know what to choose.

If your getting to do 3d i HIGHLY suggest a XEON or 5820k+

The rest of my system meets the requirments.... I did not want to x99 since once Intel finishes the interactive support and I have an issue along the way I will still be able to et a CPU

On the system requirements it says Xeon  E3 which means I have to run off of a socket LGA1150 board which only accept DDR3L
