So I purchased an Asus X99-A motherboard and I was wondering which other mobos perform better, I am thinking of changing it for the Deluxe or pro. But since I really don't know to much about motherboards i;m having a hard time choosing one. Any advice is appreciated.


My build so far
---Asus X99-A

---I7-5820k---will be exchanged for the 5930k

---Corsair h105 liquid cooling

---Intel 240gb SSD

---Nvidia GTX FTW acx 970x2 (sli)

---Rosewill Thor v2 full tower

---Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 2400 MHZ 4x8gb (32gb)

---PSU Evga supernova 850 g2

You really wouldnt notice the difference between the two boards for gaming or rendering, the X99-A is still a premium board, with a price tag higher than most of the high end Z97 boards. It still offers all of the functionality of the new X99 chipset.

Well I just wanted to be sure i got the best mobo for the build and dont want to have the problem of not being able to upgrade for certain parts in the future im not going to do quad GPU but def dual ,im trying to figure out what the deluxe has more of that makes it a higher end mobo,since I don't know a lot about mobos I based my first decision on my initial research. I chose the X99-A over the deluxe because I really don't need Wifi or Bluetooth or an extra M.2 spot,but now I read that the deluxe has better heat dispersion and i'm thinking what else did I miss,im going to be using it for rendering and gaming 4k
