Hello,

Next week I am ordering a new intel CPU (4790k) and a motherboard to match. I am looking for a motherboard with as many bells and whistles as i can get. I will be running 4 way CFX with 4 r9 290's and i have 4 Samsung 850 pro 256gb SSD's that i want to run in Raid 0. I want to get this ASUS motherboard and i think I'm locked on it.

If you want more than 2-way SLI or CFX, you should really be looking at 2011-3 and a 5830K.
 
So, thanks virtual larry. I have officially took the plunge and went with the asus rampage v and the Intel 5960x with 16gb of corsair dominator platinum 2800mhz ram. I did some research and i just can't settle for less. I want the best. I was considering getting the ASUS X99e ws:

The ASUS rampage v seems to be the best bet I think. One of the reason why i dont like the ws mobo is i cant see any PCIe on/off switches like the rampage has. And I know that the rampage pry has a lot more users therefore a lot more support.

At the same time the WS mobo is calling my name and i still want that one. Mainly because of the PLX chips. And it just seems to be made with very high quality components. Does anyone know how the audio is on the X99e ws vs. the audio on the rampage v??

Im in need of some advice... I will be ordering in a few days or later this week and i want to get make sure i order exactly what I want...
