Which motherboard to chose

[speed2006]

I want to have a new pc as the one i am having is to old and is time to be retired.
Decided to go on x99 platform,as is good for gaming but also for editing ,streaming.Z170/z270 is cheaper by maybe around 150-200 pounds but x99 offers more options.
For the motherboard i have 3 options:
-Asus Strix x99 gaming
-Gigabyte g1 ultra gaming
-Msi x99 gaming pro carbon

I am opened to different models if you think are better or more reliable.
Will be paired with a 6800k and i want to oc it.
I was thinking also to Tuf x99 Sabertooth as lights on the board is not necessary a must,is nice but can get over it,buy a few strips and that is it.
Thank you very much.

Wait for Ryzen. Even more so if you were even considering X99. It will be X99 and more for far less money.

With X99 you pay for -

1. The fact that it's Intel's top flight chipset.
2. The licensing fee on the chipset and socket (yes I know, they even charge for their sockets)
3. The fact X99 is completely unrivalled.

Seriously, buying X99 now could be committing financial suicide. The AMD Ryzen 8 core 16 thread is first to come and could come in at less than £500. The board should be a good £30 cheaper too, so yeah, I would wait a month and see what occurs.

Will be Ryzen as good as intel?
I know in the last period Intel was just alone and because of that had huge prices,because weren't a rival.
i am not in a rush.
Thanks will wait and see what happens.
I need to buy just cpu,motherboard and ram,i already have the other parts.

Yeah from what we know and seen it should be very competitive. Especially on pricing. More bang for your buck.
