i must say i am always excited for AMD products over Intel.
im not sure why, maybe its just hardwired into my brain.

If it's most of the features at a fairly reduced price, I'd say it will compete just fine.

It's a nice looking board (love the color scheme!) but if the pricing is like the other new Black Series boards they are pricing themselves WAY too high. When I think ECS I don't think $300 motherboards. 
Booyah.
