CONGRATS on wining X99 Classified... It's smart move because you build X99 platform when you have chance. Some stupid people will rather say Z97 is enough I will sell motherboard instead to build nicer platform for several years. It's good because you won X99 Classified not Z170 Classified. I very happy because didn't listen people who told me wait Skylake if you want DDR4 and similar things... I don't want to say that Skylake is bad, any i7 is excellent, but cheaper version of X99 platform is best choice now. I would like to know how much Intel earn on X99 compare to other platforms...More or less. Most people think that they earn most on Sandy Bridge.

Update. :-/ (sort of) Everything arrived today Yay!! But.........no go w/ the case. 24pin, USB 3.0, and the entire full row of fan headers are blocked. Does the case fit the board? Technically, it does fit in the case but you can't connect some pretty dang important items due to the aforementioned items being blocked. Returning it for a refund and buying a 750D instead. So, heads up fellas on the Pro M, it does NOT fit this particular E-ATX board. I think it is mainly due to the power supply shroud. I could probably get the ATX plug to work fine but not the bottom connections w/out modding the case. Was worth the attempt. I will say however, the Pro M is a perfect case for ATX and smaller boards. Very well laid out and made. Really like the full acrylic side on it. New case should be here around the 16th. I'll post photos at that point. Chris

Thought I'd update. I have the system built, mostly. I have 1 more part to buy which is actually preventing me from getting my cable management done. I'm ordering the the 980ti this week. I currently have my "old" 980 Hybrid in there. It uses dual 6pins where the 980ti uses dual 8pins. I also decided not to return the Phanteks case but instead decided to gift it to my dad. Once the 980ti is in I'll get all of the photos up and complete the post.

Got the card on today and cleaned the cabling up A LOT. Had to change the default LED color on the card and pump to red. The card's logo led, when set to white, looks lite blue. That clashed so um yeah. Going to look into modding that. Photos coming soon, gotta break out the DSLR.

I give you first +1 on MODS RIGS, you should choose more pictures of your new X99 Classified, i7-5820K and graphic card. I hope that's some nice PC. Lot of people missed chance to buy nice and affordable i7-5820K. Overclocked he offer a lot for money. His real speed should be 4.0 GHz and than people to OC more if they need.
