I don't really see any advantage unless you have a goal to keep it for years and years and hopefully upgrade it when prices on components are lower, but by then they themselves will be behind the times.....better now to save say a $100 on the mobo and get the Asus Hero or Pro or even Z97-A and oput that $100 -$150 or whatever into a 4690K and a decent heatsink like the 212 EVO, the biggest reason for the price on the Formula is the built in water bloc

It was a pretend question, I assume the general gist of the question was what are the advtantages of a high-end motherboard if you can't fill it will high end parts.

^ along with exotic power regulation features that when paired with a very high quality power supply offer stable and extreme overclocks on unlocked processors.

With that,you can do a LOT of things.
You can stick an i7 4790K in there,which is the best CPU.
You can stick up to 4x8GB of memory,which is more than enough for anything.
You can go 3-way Crossfire and 3-way SLI.
You can do a LOT of things with it. ;)
Here are the specs for it:

Nobody mentions this but you will get better, thicker pcb, better power delivery, capacitors, chokes, mosfets. Better heatsinks on the board. Skimping on a board is not a good idea.
