I like the MSI bundle.

I do to but i like asus cause of rgb headers etc. But just not sure which has more or better features. i've always had asus except when i got started years and years ago way before 64 bit cpus and had an MSI dual CPU mobo for amd cpu's.

Why the MSI board for you if i may ask?

Love the design of the board. Personal preference I would say. You can't go wrong with the ASUS boards. Great boards and tops in QC for many years.

Yea i currently have an ASUS X99 deluxe II board with the intel i7-6900 cpu and 64gb DDR4 3200 i think so i should be able to use that ram on the AMD board as long as its able to use quad channel memory i think.

I think thats what my memory is on intel and i think the new threadripper's and boards for amd are quad channel and not dual right?

This is the link to my current build. Should be able to use most the parts here minus the watercooling block on my AMD 32core 64thread AMD machine i think right? Like ram etc?
