Dam!

I have stayed on Z97 and not gone to Skylake. I hear the X99 platform whispering in my ear. And the form factor being ATX is a big plus for me. I really want one, have to see if the money can be found to migrate my H440 rig to X99

Nice board. The carbon accents are a bit Marmite if I'm honest.

As much as X99 tries to lure me I'm resisting and staying with my Z87 XPower for the moment.
 
1 louder and none more black. I really like this board. Even with the RGBeeGees!

I think the time to retire the Z77 is getting closer.
 
Despite how good that board looks and how well it performs, I couldn't really justify forking out the expense of building a machine that would comfortably outperform my 4790K.

I'd probably spend half my time playing games and the other being in denial that it was worth it.
