send me this board i have the corsair white 760t case it would be a perfect match 🙂
Amazing board with rock solid WiFi up to 20 GBps even though they only state 13 and very easy to over clock your CPU. Ensure you have the latest Bios though especially with Windows 10 64 bit as the earlier versions had stability issues. One of the best boards I have owned.
