Hello,
Yes...I get there are a LOT of suggestions. I actually have a questions regarding an ASUS Z10PR-D16 that I have found to be plentiful on eBay, currently. I have the NR40700 that @Chris Moore has and I need ideas to fill that beast. I want 10-gig, eventually. I want a powerful enough processor to be able to at least get 10K+ score on passmark....the reason I opt'd to look at this ASUS is that it can carry two...which makes hitting that number a lot easier. Basically....I'm looking for a budget build that I can grow upon with power. Yeah....like everyone. I don't want a $1,000 motherboard. Not worth it and quite frankly a rip-off. Sweet gaming motherboards don't cost that and they offer most "options." Any ideas out there if someone has tried this board? I have been looking at Supermicro, as they do seem to offer a lot; however, they do cost more than this ASUS. Let me know if someone has come across this or their feelings on the subject.
Thank you!
