All,
Is X99 worth the extra £ over Z97 based rigs? I'm thinking about an upgrade to my current rig (i7 920 DO / 580GTX) to run 1440p and have the following options:
1 - Just upgrade my 580 GTX to a 980 or 970GTX
2 - As above but also move to Z97
3 - As 1 but move to X99
My additional challenge in the case of option 3 is that I run a M-ATX rig and want to continue to do so with options 2 and 3. M-ATX X99 boards are like rocking horse shit so that doesn't help either. The ASROCK X99M Fatal1ty is an option but choice in very limited.
With Z97 I would just get a GENE board....
Any thoughts?
Thanks
