Aoa,
I'm confused in selecting between the Asus X99 Deluxe, Asrock X99 Professional and Asrock X99 OC Formula.

I'll mainly be doing 3D rendering, photo/video editing and gaming. I need a very reliable motherboard which can handle stresses easily for a long time.

When it comes to overclocking all three of these boards are on the same level. I was settled on the Asus X99 deluxe as asus is including a few features which may become handy for me in the future. The color scheme also suits my theme for the build but its 10k expensive than the OC formula.

Is the X99 Deluxe worth the extra 10k?

Well I'm kind of on a tight budget right now and planning to do this build in parts. I'm trying to think if I can spend that 10k in some other place, like a better GPU. I'm trying to get my hands on a used GTX 970.

Then asrock is way to go, I am assuming you are buying new and with proper warranty. If covered for 3 years then no need to worry,

Putting aside overclocking capabilities, what board is the best in terms of value for money, performance and the biggest factor, durability?

I am a happy owner of Asus x99 Deluxe , i must say its one of the best motherboard out there...... Amazing Bios with very Unique UI and quick over-clocking Modes,
I am using i7 5820k with AMD R9 295x2 graphics card and so far everything is A+++.

I cannot find asrock boards with three years warranty. Decided on a Asus X99 Deluxe U3.1, which is being offered with 3 years warranty.

Please recommend me a good shop or site from where I can get the motherboard, processsor and a 32GB quad channel DDR4 ram at good prices and has Cash on delivery. I was thinking of ordering from saqiscity but read that they have a very bad reputation.
I was thinking of ordering the processor from Galaxy and motherboard from czone. On czone I cannot find the option of COD while on the checkout for karachi.

    Nope. They have a very valid case. The above video explains it all.

    Did y'all see the new Assassin's Creed trailer? They finally made a AC set in Japan & then they put a negro as the male protagonist. Ubisoft is taking cues from Disney, and it isn't gonna end well for them, just like Disney. Go woke, go broke!

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.

I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.
