  I got one of these with the free 600p SSD.

  There's a surprising lack of LEDs on the board for a gaming m/b. There's a stripe that looks like a '7' with some LEDs around it and that's pretty much it. There's a single white led for the RAM slots.

  Gigabyte does better LEDs.

  Btw, make sure you get a windowed case. One handy thing is it has a CPU temp measure on the board. You'll only see it (and your LEDs) with a windowed case obviously.

  I don't regret getting this but I wish it was cheaper, and had an extra 2 USB slots at the back.

      Yes, people who don't buy gaming motherboards.

      I don't think they're worth the money, but the target audience they go for is the kind who love LEDs and bling. You are paying $300+ for a m/b that does the same job as something half its price.

  No bargain. Numerous stores with same price.
