I am building x99 pc with 5820k. I have got single Nvidia quadro card ( It's a workstation rather than gaming pc. ).

I am looking for x99 board ( ATX/mATX only ) which can offer x4 PCIe lanes to M.2 slot. I have already searched for similar questions in forums, but either they are talking about old boards or non-ATX one. I am interested in new boards which comes with USB 3.1

I would love to get WS boards but they are not in ATX configuration ( e.g. all Asrock-WS series ) or Asus does have X99-M WS ( mATX ) but I read that it has x2 M.2.

 
Solution
One of the cheapest is MSI X99a SLI PLUS

I have bought four of these boards all with M.2 ssd's, for our business workstations.

I think the current best price for an ATX x99 board is the ASRock X99 Extreme3
