IMO its overpriced as hell. Fuck EVGA's branding.
Though it doesn't mean its worthless. EVGA makes reliable mobos but their non gpu products do have hiccups once in a while.

Do you really need something like that anon, especially for an itx build? Get something that's less of a meme and much more functional.

i mean it's only $119~... and there's not really many good Z170 mini ITX boards around that are complete fucking ass wipes, and all previous gen intel ones are pretty much gone.

also, the I/O is actually one of the better ones, a Lot more USB ports than other brands...

Oh shit I actually didn't notice this.

Well check out gigabyte's itx z170 board (GIGABYTE GA-Z170N-WIFI), and if you really need the extra I/o, go with EVGA

I was considering that one too, but the I/O is basically selling the EVGA, although I have to install a WiFi M.2 on the EVGA, it shouldn't be a problem at all, so I'm between the Hawk & the Buzzard.

Truth be told, if you use AUTOCAD, what you need is IPC over total power, and in this the 4790k outperform the 6700k. This because AutoCAD will alwais use One fucking tread. If you use more solidworks and other 3d CAD the 6700 k will performance better. Your choose the beat one. http://www.anandtech.com/show/8276/z97-miniitx-review-at-140-asrock-z97e-itx-msi-z97i-ac-and-gigabyte-z97n-wifi
