Ok after i RMA my EVGA X99 FTW board for refund I'm going to buy a different board which would be best to go for; (CPU 5930k)
- Asus Rampage V
- Asus X99 Deluxe

Looking to go with 3x 980 in the new year as well

I'm using the SOC Force. I have used ASUS boards in the past and I was never a huge fan, and I wanted the better warranty with the Gigabyte.

Both are great boards though.

Personally I prefer MSI boards, but ASUS or Gigabyte are pretty good too. It's about what features you want (they're all almost the same lol ), price range but also if you want it to look good if you have a window (as I see you do) or just mobo.

I suggest you run through some Hexus or KitGuru reviews and see what they say (they're doing very good reviews with detailed info and pics).
