^ It depends on what day your MB was manufactured. The latest BIOS was released on 1/28/2013. Regardless, I think your MB will boot and your going to be able to perform an update (if you want to). I highly doubt you get one of the first ones. Maybe you won't even need an update (if you don't have any troubles with it).

I think il stick with the ASRock as I like the Dr.Debug. I will be upgrading mobo and CPU when excavator is launched and this will do its job nicely

As of the RAM I will consider it but have to check some prices first. I might change the case of r something else but have to look arounf first

So you don't want a much better board with 990X chipset because you like those onboard LEDs?

Also yeah, there are better cases with front USB 3.0, black interior and good agencement for better airflow.

Do you plan to do any overclocking?

If so, I'd choose a different board, the Extreme4/6's are known to put way more voltage through the chip than what is set.

Ex you set it to 1.4 V, it'll push 1.52V into the chip.

Just keep that in mind if you do get the motherboard and OC on it.
