I am looking to upgrade my system from the current config that's in my signature, to a 5820k and Asus X99. There is the Pro, Deluxe and regular model and am wondering which would be best for my setup? I am currently using a PCIE wireless card as its required so I'm leaning towards the Deluxe unless there is a strong reason to go with one of the others?
 
Curious about this as well. I'm strongly leaning towards buying an i7-5820. 90% of the time I buy Asus mobos, but I have owned and built systems for others that did great with msi, gigabyte, etc.
 
I've always had ASUS and continue to stick with them. Plus my theme is white so it fits perfectly.
 
X99-A

The only difference between the X99-A and X99-Pro is the wifi. That is literally the only difference other than the appearance. X99-Pro has the shields and better looking heatsink.

The X99 Deluxe does the same thing as the X99-a and Pro but has the asmedia sata express controller. It also has more lan features and is overall a premium looking board aesthetics wise. It also has more sata ports and more expansion ports but not much different.

You already have a wireless card and the built in wireless doesn't have that great of a range anyways. I use a wireless pcie card over the built in wifi on my rampage v which is the flagship mobo for asus.
