Hi again. just realized that the G1 sniper doesn't have the sata pci express slot or M2 port?
Is this something i'll miss in the G1 sniper in the future? Meaning what would you choose when
gaming is my main reason for a motherboard the G1 Sniper Z97 or the Asus X97-K who has
the sata express slot and only crossfire? The Asus is a little cheaper then the G1 Sniper and i
kind a like the two sli/crossfire option on the Sniper:)  And last is the onboard sound better on G1 sniper then the Asus Z97-K?

You will not miss the sata express or M2 ports.
Current m2 ports still only support the same sequential speeds as a normal sata 3 port.
I don't know of any sata express devices available.

High end sequential speeds are likely to be available via pcie based ssd's

I would avoid high end motherboards that do not support sli.
It is looking like Maxwell will be the king of the hill for gaming for a while.

Has a ton of features for a good price. Supports SLi or Crossfire...plenty of ports for storage devices. Easy to overclock.
