It's that time for me, and all i see are M.2 issues, and uncooked bios's from these supposed top tier mfg's.
I'm looking at these two boards to begin with.

..And while i understand teething problems, it seems this new platform is not only expensive(i7 6700k being sold for WAY beyond msrp..Let the e-tailer gouging commence!)but seems buggy as hell.
I have the means of upgrading right now with an $1100 budget for proc, mobo, case, ps, and maybe a new ssd for os. I already have a decent 970 gpu, and everything else.
Or..i can funnel it back into mundane life stuff(bills etc)and go on waiting another year for Intel to shit out another mediocre platform.
I am cynical and bitter i know, but i really would like to build a new rig, as it's been what, 5 years now? Geezust.. I have poked at x99/5820k, but 6700k simply seems better for gaming, and usb type c, dmi 3.0 etc etc.
What to do..
