I've already asked this question a few months ago but as there have been alot of new additions to the mobo playing field I felt as if I needed to ask again. I don't really have a price range but am looking for one with an x99 chipset and uses the 2011-v3 socket. I am also looking for one that is good for gaming, copes with overclocking well, good wifi, and one that would go well with a black/green setup. This is more or less an all-out setup and I am not too concerned with the price tag as long as it's worthwhile. If you do have a suggestion for a good processor to go with it (intel), then please tell me. thank you for reading this! :D 

EDIT: I am looking for an atx motherboard size, nothing more

Well given the embargo was only just lifted, there really isn't too much info about X99 motherboards yet. As for the CPU, if it is for gaming, i'd go for the 5820K but that is only going by this review from Tom's released yesterday.

Thank you byza for the processor suggestion and I will probably be sticking with that one :D  . And kapitalistas, my psu is an 860 watt corsair, I play alot of games, my monitor will be an asus 4k monitor with g-sync, and I will be playing my games at 4k on med-high settings.

Can't think of anything in green black, might look at the Asus X99 deluxe

Definitely the sexiest X99 motherboard.

Edit: If there is no rush it might be worth waiting till they work out some of the kinks. If you read that review they note that there can be some RAM compatibility problems.
