Steve Mc Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 I'm building my first pc, the case I've order is an Antec P280, processor is an Intel 5820K 3.30GHz (Haswell-E) Socket LGA2011-V3 Processor but I'm unsure on what the best motherboard would be (i.e. by brand Gigabyte, MSI or Asus). I would like Wi-Fi built in. If I could get some recommendations. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have had it the longest (and not just in terms of Haswell-E), and have the most experience with it from a motherboard OEM standpoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsupersonic Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 If cost is a factor, you could alternatively get any 2011-v3 motherboard, and just add on a wireless adapter (which typically come in the form of USB, or PCI-E) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafox Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Second the Asus vote. Gigabyte or MSI after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Mc Posted April 5, 2015 Author Share Posted April 5, 2015 Thanks for the Asus recommendation, I was originally looking at an MSI X99S SLI PLUS but now have decided to go with the X99-PRO/USB 3.1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
