Well when its $200 more with pretty much 0 benefits I don't. 

THe 6800K Broadwell-e is also a 28 lane cpu, its just the succesor to the 5820K.

But since the 5820K is significantly cheaper i personaly dont see much reasons to go with a 6800K.

If you want an totaly Msi theme´d build i can totaly understand that.

In terms of feutures the Msi X99 Godlike boards do offer all the feutures you basicly gonne need.

And if you are not a diehard overclocker then the diffrences between a Hybrid ISL solution or a fully digital IR solution, you will most likely not gonne notice.

I was thinking about it more yesterday, and I believe I'm gonna get the asus board, since I will be doing a custom loop and EKWB is gonna come out with a mono block for it. and overall it is a better looking and functioning board, so I believe it would be the smarter choice

It's got a better architecture and memory support out of the box, and should overclock just as well as a 5820k. It also has a better heat spreader.

Not worth my $200, but worth considering for you.

Broadwell is the same architecture as Haswell just on a smaller node (14nm vs. 22nm) and both support DDR4 (the main difference is that Broadwell-E has official support for 2400mhz vs. 2133mhz, which is irrelevant since you're pretty much guaranteed to be able to hit at least 2400mhz with Haswell-E). 

 

Also, based on Toms Hardware's review, Broadwell-E doesn't overclock all that well.
