As far as I can tell there is not a lot of information out there that separates the X399 processors. The only tangible difference I can tell is a different LAN speed, which seems relatively low on the list of importance.
I pre-ordered the MSI card, but of course it's not too late to switch, anyone have any thoughts on why one would be better than another?
This is my build, if you see a reason to switch mobos I'd be very interested in your logic:
