Hey guys,
Hoping you can help me with my decision, I have some money spare this month and want to know if it is worth while the upgrade. If it isn't please could you give me a reason why, and also where the upgrade would benefit me. I have read a few forum posts regarding this kind of upgrade (X79 - X99) and would just like an opinion based more on what I have and what I want to upgrade to.
This is my current setup
Motherboard - MSI X79A-GD65 (8D)
URL: http://www.msi.com/product/mb/X79AGD65_8D.html
CPU - i7 3930k
URL: http://ark.intel.com/products/63697
RAM - Apacer 16GB 1600MHz
URL: http://www.techbuy.com.au/p/194977/MEMORY_MEMORY_DDR-3_RAM/Apacer/DK.08GAK.H9YK2.asp

This is what I want to upgrade to
Motherboard - Asus X99-DELUXE
URL: http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/X99DELUXE/
CPU - i7 5930k
URL: http://ark.intel.com/products/82931
RAM - Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB 4x4GB DDR4 2666MHz C16
URL: http://www.corsair.com/en-au/vengea...66mhz-c16-memory-kit-black-cmk16gx4m4a2666c16
Just one other thing I would like to know is the RAM compatibility with this motherboard, having gone to the Asus website where they mention the "X99 Series Memory Qualified Vendors List (QVL)" the RAM that they mention in the link below, is this RAM that will only work with the mobo or is this just RAM that they recommend? Will the RAM that I linked above work with the mobo?
