No, it sucks. :trollin:

It has DDR4 memory, a 5th gen Intel core CPU, using the 2011-3 socket and a brand new GPU, I'm sure you can figure it out for yourself.

Whether it's worth it or not, is another story. Depending on what you're using the PC for and how much you're paying, it could be a huge waste of money.

Is it good - Yes.

But you have to think to yourself, do you need 6 cores on a CPU. What will you be using it for. Please don't say gaming...

Then X99 is not for you unless you have to much money.. In which case you should get a 4790K and give the rest to my bank...

If you're not going to overclock, a "K" class CPU isn't worth it. For gaming and possibly streaming, 2011-3 is a no go for you. Waste of money. An i7-4790(k) would be more than enough. With the money saved, get the GTX 980 instead of the GTX 970. If you have anything left after that, you can send it to me.. not Craigyy, huehue.
