That motherboard is great.

Has all the upto date features aswell as SLI/Xfire compatibility.

Not worth spending the extra on the sniper, just for the colours.

One of the best Micro-ATX board you can get your hands on:

But it does cost more than the cheaper ones...but I guess people pay the extra for the quality.

thats not why tho^^
1 i like gigabyte boards
it has a nice soundcard on it with a headphone amp which is good alternative to buying a dedicated
and it uses intel lan which is nice too

i did say it might not be worth it to a lot of people, but it wasnt just for the colors hehe
