X99 Socket 2011v3 MBO Asus

[ADH1979]

Hi.
Thank you in advance for your support.

I am currently in the process of building a new machine. After many years of work and all, I'm trying to build myself a kick*** system. I'm not a gamer, but want a fast machine. I am a programmer in Augmented Reality so I need power to compile programs quickly.

I figured that I would go with the new Intel i7 6800K processor which has a socket 2011-v3. After doing some research online, I found the Asus X99-Deluxe II Motherboard to be a great motherboard, but after reading some reviews I'm not sure if it's a good choice.

I wanted to pose the question out there if anyone has any recommendations on a good motherboard. I'm okay with spending up to $450 and am okay with other options from Gigabyte, ASRock, MSI and etc... but I do want something good.

Any ideas/recommendations?

Thanks Again,
AJ

The X99-Deluxe II should be a top of the line motherboard.  I'm running the 6800k with an ASUS X99-A II right now and have no issues.  32gb of memory at 2800mhz CL14 @1.24v, 4.1ghz CPU at 1.2v adaptive and 3.4ghz Cache at 1.05v,

 

Been about 4 months now running strong.
