love the dark ....

Is this GSkill on the QLV list?  http://gskill.com/en/finder?cat=31&prop_2=0&prop_6=0&prop_3=4266MHz&prop_4=0&prop_1=0&series=2482 would like to run 4 sticks of it.

Here you can see the effect of the leds in the FTW-K:
 

 
Note that leds are RGB, so you can change the color.

Seems like RGB is the way to go this time around. What else is left to RGB?  PSU? CPU?

PSU. Looking at the numbers, it seems a 750W Gold model.

I just saw another companies MB and it looks way better than this.  I know a handful of people were screaming for "Dark" boards.  I think too many of the same people created a big hype about it when I don't think there was such a massive demand for them.  I think they should have stuck with more RGB as the competitors surely have as their boards look way better.  If EVGA goes head to head with them in price, they will be a laughing stock.

I am really liking the X299 FTW K model.  RGB looks classy and now just have to wait to see what Intel's pricing will be for the processors.

Those are the leaked prices (some are not correct).
The official list of prices is this one:
 

The motherboards look very nice. Kind of like the RGB on the FTW model.
 
As for the Intel models the price kind of makes sense when you consider the increase in core and threads. I wonder what would stress that CPU out since it is a beast.

Never understand the design decisions EVGA make for their hardware. Feel like they need to create a team within their company to facilitate consistency of design and what they're going for.
 
Recently, theres a huge disconnect with the designs of half the stuff.
 
The Ti cards have quite an ugly appearance, where the 1080's were beautiful. The DARK board here uses a gloss black which looks pretty horrendous and the Silver-RGB webs on the FTW K boards is a bit odd. Theres a cyborg look to the Kingpin edition that doesn't carry over. And on the FTW cards theres no choice but to have it BLUE.
 
Very confusing, people want choice for RGB and gloss black should have disappeared with old LCD monitor shells!
The naming policy confuses me too, top end boards used to be called CLASSIFIED, now its DARK, then theres FTW FTW2 FTW3 then no CLASSIFIED CLASSFIIED x99 board but no others.
 
You need a team to direct the vision!!

Just read at PCPer:
 
7900X - 1000$ (10/20)
7920X - 1200$ (12/24)
7940X - 1400$ (14/28)
7960X - 1700$ (16/32)
7980X - 2000$ (18/36) Two Thousands  2000 USD 
 
So long X299. I'm not that daft to even consider it*. Was hoping that i9 7900 will come at somewhat more reasonable** 800$, but noooo..... Let's wait and see what AMD brings to the table.
 
* - not saying never if some deal comes around
** - yeah I know, Intel and reasonable in same sentence is a perfect oxymoron.

I talked it over with the missus.  I'm in the stupid more money than brains club.  I'm going all in for the i9 7980XE CPU and platform.  One condition, I have to give her my i7 5960X PC rig.  DEAL!!!
