you only have one board at the $150 dollar price point

X99 boards dont get cheaper then $150

You will need to drop down to a i7-5820, even then the only true difference is less PCIe lanes and that is not needed unless for 4-way SLI and maybe 3 if you use up PCIe lanes in another fashion. Get a 5820k and a MSI X99 PLUS

 

EDIT- i7-5820k, the 5820 doesn't exist.

EDIT #2, Also are you upgrading because you are getting into say video editing, recording or streaming ect ect? If not, that $500 towards a R9 Fury or R9 390x would be much more worthwhile or if you can wait a AMD Polaris GPU.

you'd better save some money dude, there is absolutely no good x99 motherboard less than 250$

you're not going to get anything out of that 5930k with a mobo of that price if you did found one

The CPU is already bought  I have a gtx 960 I just need a motherboard so you guys think I should save for a x99 motherboard
