I have been planning this PC for a long time now and with the time tech always evolves. I am still waiting for the 1080 to finally release before I order any parts, and thats where I need you're help.

I always wanted to have the Phanteks Evolv ATX but when I came to realised that the case's maximum E-ATX MOBO support is 266mm I was shot into a spiral as The MSI Godlike that I want to include is 272mm wide. Doing my research I came across this pc build (http://pcpartpicker.com/b/HQm8TW) that had someone put a 272mm motherboard (Asus rampage V extreme) into the Evolv ATX. Should I atempt the same feat or wait for smaller X99 boards? 

 

This brings me to my second question, with Computex right around the corner and speculations of Asus X99 boards should I be waiting for newer boards or trying to cram oversized E-ATX boards into the Evolv ATX?

 

for any of you that are interested in my PC specs

@ChrisCross

yeah its x99 and the same price as the 5820k. 

the msi godlike or rampage are normal atx boards they fit in fine. the case even supports bigger e-atx boards that can fit 2 cpu's. its a standard. im pretty sure you confused height and width of the boards. 

 

love that german :D
