    Power Supply for Asus Essence STX II?

    While I don't have that exact sound card, I do have a different ASUS sound card that also has an additional power connector which requires you to plug it into your computer's power supply. You don't need an additional power supply nor was it recommended anywhere in the product info. As for...

    Why aren't there any Socket 2011 boards with good reviews? Any you'd recommend?

    Looks like a good build, you should be able to run the ram at 3200 if you want to. XMP with corsair LPX ram worked well for me. Only thing is the motherboard does some serious ovevolting of the System agent and VCCIO CPU voltage by default, but I turned it back down and everything is stable.

    Cases with upward facing usb ports

    I've had upward facing usb ports for the last decade or so. Never had any issues with them functioning, but they definitely are more prone to getting dust and whatnot inside.

    Why aren't there any Socket 2011 boards with good reviews? Any you'd recommend?

    I just built using the ASUS X99-A II and have had a good experience with it so far. Chose it specifically because it didn't break the bank, looked nice (matched my build) and had all the features I needed.There are plenty of cheaper boards that get good review too though. (I'd put more weight...

    AI Suite II and windows 10?

    Search all the asus ROG boards of that era and look for AI Suite II for windows 10 as a download for one of them. I forget which one, but one has it. (Got it to work on a P8P67 Pro on windows 10). Edit: Tried to search for it online for a bit and couldn't find it. Maybe try the most up to date...

    Need advice on Dual LAN ports on Asus Z170-Deluxe

    In addition to what mda said, you may be able to bridge them together to create a faster connection for some use cases, but these don't exist for most people (99.9%+)

    4k Gaming 970 or 390x

    I agree with what the others are saying. The 390X will be faster, but likely not worth the upgrade right now since it isn't a huge difference (20% in the absolute best case scenario, less normally). I'd wait until the next gen if you are pretty happy now, especially since the 390X will likely...
