If I was going x58 I think I would hold out for the Giga OC version

Just to change it up a bit

R3E is the safe bet though, Buy I historically try new things ....

I guess I will just have to hold out a little bit longer..

Wich is ok, I wasnt that enthusiastic about dropping 500 beans on a board right away, so waiting isnt so bad

I would wait and get a second hand R3E for like $200 when the Black edition screws everyones resale values.

this was quite easy on air
