Post A Pic Of Your Pc Here :)

No, not that I know of. That's the main difference I find with the Enthusiast grade stuff (LGA2011-v3) and the typical consumer grade stuff (LGA1151). For your average joe, this isn't going to affect them at all but when you want to go a little bit crazy with fast components, you'll want the X99.

Yeah, thats just it. But really 2,3,4 cards is just overkill. A single GTX1080 is going to pretty epic for most gamers
 
Okay, well then i will have to stick with a duel SLi setup when i upgrade my VC.
Thank you for the information guys, it has taught me something new today

No problem.. I honestly wouldn't be worried at all if I were you.. I know for myself.. I got a gen old CPU and I'm going to grab a single 1080 and call it a day.. way overkill for me and will school any game I want to play!

You have to remember though, more PCI-e lanes = more headroom for expansion. There's only so much the Z170 has when it comes to dedicated PCI-e lanes for your "other stuff" (nvme, sata-express, sata 3...etc) before it reduces your GPU's 16x speed to 8x speed and use up the freed up 8x for your "other stuff". If that happens, you can't SLi. Granted, most people here won't saturate the pcie lanes, but you know... some people are nuts and forget to take the pcie lane limitations.

Maybe we could make a deal where we both upgrade :)

Sorry brother, I'd love to help you but I'm giving it to a close friend at an extremely deep discount, as he is partly disabled and on a fixed income, so its a gift essentially.

You're missing out. I only use my PC a couple hours a day, but I'm with my phone from morning until night.

I consider PCs to be much more practical than smartphones. I only use my phone for instagram and while I'm working on my PC. Last week it broke and took a week to get it fixed, and I had absolutely no problem just using the PC.
 
Got bored, stripped the backup rig and painted the front white. Its an old coolermaster sileo 500 silent chassis, and the front had this gnarly fake aluminum that was all stained and scratched.

Turned out decent..sileo500.jpg
