Have to rebuild my computer.

Biggest waste of cash Expensive Motherboards - Poor Bang per Buck

Even mid Ageing ( 7 years ) mid range ASUS P7LXVI Handles GTX980ti no problem

Who needs four lanes of Pci GPU slots ? most of the Claims of "PRO" " Deluxe" Etc Etc Meaningless Little real impact on performance

Go Cheap spend on other components

RAM Memory Cheap $/per Performance good

SSD's getting cheaper all the time

Intel CPU's all day long, Processor Speeds only on paper comparison . Run cool , low power, superior architecture.

Gap between NVidea and AMD closing all the time finally AMD viable option difficult choice

Just bought ASRock Motherboard ( Needed the Z170 Chip to unlock i3 ) for budget build. Surprisingly good value other brands just out of price range some useful features ,even looks nice !

ASUS Mobo has slogging along 7 years faultless

Windows 10
Intel i5 3570k @ 4.4Ghz ( OC with Stock Fan )
Nvidia Zotac GTX980ti 6Gb VRAM
ASUS P7LXVLI
16Gb HyperX Memory @ 1600mhz ( Plenty enough for Gaming )
3 x HHD 3.5 TB + 250GB Kingston HyperX SSD
