So there are not that many mATX x99 board, but I am looking for the best one of them all for a 6850k and ofc I am going to OC. It needs to support NVMe SSDs.

 

I do not care about build in wifi, unless it is mimo. It needs to be able to support 64gb of ram, you know just in case that I am going to upgrade from 32gb.

 

I do not care that much about color, it just needs to be a high quality motherboard.

Before you buy amp and dac.  My thoughts on the M50x  Ultimate Ears Reference monitor review I might have a thing for audio...

My main Headphones and IEMs:  K612 pro, HD 25 and Ultimate Ears Reference Monitor, HD 580 with HD 600 grills

DAC and AMP: RME ADI 2 DAC

Speakers: Genelec 8040, System Audio SA205

Receiver: Denon AVR-1612

Desktop: R7 1700, GTX 1080  RX 580 8GB and other stuff

From what I gathered the ASRock ASRock Fatal1ty Gaming Fatal1ty X99M Killer, is suppose to be great! I never really dove into any mATX forum factors a lot but from what I have read and talked about to people it supposedly great.

neither, because there will come new boards as the year goes on.

 

Also, you can just mod the case to accept ATX

"just" a ATX board is pretty much the same size as my whole case...

And I will most likely buy the CPU and mobo soon

Wait until ZEN comes out next year, then prices may actually drop.
