Looks
The board and cpu are suspiciously cheap compared to the x99
New ram is also
Darn case is pretty reasonably sized for a tower :/
Should be sweet

Either that or Asus the board itself is $199.00 that not too cheap i got my sabertooth for $125.00 flat two years ago

 

[ThrashZone]

My x99 sabertooth was 325.us I believe so yes that is a lot cheaper
cpu price wise compared to my 5930k is wildly cheap

Looks like I could of put to together 2 skylake builds for the price of one x99 shit almost 3

X99 is too much even though it's a butt kicker

Be a sport and make sure you load win-7 on it too and not just win-10 so we can see what the heck is the deal

For the record you were kicking my butt on your old rig :roflmao:

I'm sure there will be another 980 in there too.

 

[Lady Fitzgerald]

the X99 boards are going to cost more than the Z170s, even though they are a generation or two behind, since they have larger CPU sockets to accommodate more powerful CPUs, more PCI lanes (28 or 40 instead of only 24), more RAM channels and slots, more SATA ports, etc.

So this is how it looks with case lights on. Shot with my Galaxy Edge through the case glass...

 

[Layback Bear]

I like it. Those hose springs look good with the light.

 

[linnemeyerhere]

They make and I almost got the UV active coils, in the end just went with these and could be worse.

 

[linnemeyerhere]

Tommy your new rig sounds and looks like it will be flat awesome.......can't wait for pictures !

 

[ThrashZone]

Really cool under lighting

 

[StalkeR]

Looks nice. I'd rather go with green variant (if there is green). Anyway, interesting.

 

[linnemeyerhere]

Yep they have green and uv green which would be wicked for those wishing to add a uv light !

I like the new Sabertooth Z170 just may have to get one before they dissapear, the 6700K will be here for a long time.

[ThrashZone]

At least it has reverse air flow switches for the little fan
That way it's not a dust vacuum from the rear which is impossible to filter.
