Im in the process of building a new rig , everything was good until i started looking at gaming Mobos on Newegg. The rating for all of them are flat out bad, even the best one hardly has 4 eggs and when you read the reviews that bad ones are not from stupid stuff like you would think. At this point i kind of dont know the direction to go.
I am also considering a Xeon instead of an i7, from what i read its an I7 with no gpu but about $100 less which doesn't matter to me as im running GTX 970's, i have just never had experience with this chip.
