Hey Guys, I want to buy a new PC but I do not know exactly what are the best motherboard for my requirements. The socket should be 2011-3.

Features that should the motherboard can:
- Link aggregation of two LAN ports
- NVME M.2 SSD (space for cooling should be present)
- OC the 5820k on 4.2 GHz + with Aircooling
- PS / 2 port for my mechanical keyboard
- USB 3.1

My favorite is the ASUS X99-A / USB 3.1 and ASRock Fatal1ty X99X Killer / 3.1.
My third choice would be the MSI X99A MPower or MSI X99A SLI Plus.

In the ASUS X99-A or MSI I would just need a network card as the Intel Pro.
Which motherboard has the best components? The PC should at least 6 years work until it breaks down.

Greetings Zorrochi

Oh sry, I did not know. In Germany the 5820k has cost £244/€340, now £300/€409 (converted € to £).
Btw a lot of money for a CPU and normal guy in Germany like me. ;-)
I think Skylake has anyway a bad price performance in the moment. WTF price dropped just in the moment to €373. I've bought the 5820k and Asus mobo. I'm so lucky :D
