I build new systems every 5 years or so. I'm thinking of building my next everything system (workstation, gaming, HT server) system with a Gigabyte GA-Z170X-GAMING G1 motherboard. My current GA boards have held up well but are getting a little long in the tooth. I want USB 3.1. I want LOTS of USB ports - 8 in the back minimum. I don't care too much about the nic, most of the time I'll be using an add on dual 10G intel card. I'll also be adding an LSI or Adaptec 8 lane nic. I'll start out with a single video card although I may SLI later on. So I'll want plenty of high lane capacity slots. Having onboard sound would be nice if I could get quality onboard sound for gaming - chances are I'll just use a 2.5mm jack.
I was thinking of getting the Scythe Ninja 4 but not sure if it will fit with the video card in the top slot.
