Why X99? Shit's old. Get AMD Ryzen instead, it's better value

i suggest getting the 6800K, build an unraid wicked gaming and home server box

Might as well buy MAXIMUS AM4 board (I forgot its name) and get a Ryzen instead. Although this choice is heavily dependent on what task you want to use ot for. For gaming, nothing beats the 7700K. For photoshop/ content creating, a Ryzen build is better for the same price.
