-the dark rock is like 79.99 at ncix. i could get a d14 for that price.
-the z87x-d3h is a much better board for slightly cheaper at 138.99 after a shipping price match
-a 25 dollar MIR is not cool for ram
-the asus 760 is cheaper
-for4 bucks more, the arc midi r2 absolutely destroys the 300R window in everything
