Ryzen might be dominating the headlines as of late, but don't worry, we haven't forgotten about Intel. In fact, we found a pretty sweet deal on an LGA 1151 motherboard. With coupon code and mail-in-rebate, you can score an Asus ROG Maximus VIII Ranger for just $100.
This motherboard typically goes for $180 and up. However, Newegg has it marked down to $150, and you can reduce that $135 with promo code EMCSRERG4. There's also a $35 mail-in-rebate available on top of it all. Plus, you can get Dawn of War III free with purchase.
The ROG Maximus VIII Ranger supports up to 64GB of DDR4-3400 (OC) memory. It also has two PCI-Express 3.0 x16 slots wired to the CPU and one PCI-Express 3.0 x16 slot wired to the chipset, three PCI-Express 3.0 x1 slots, six SATA 6Gbps ports (four shared with SATA Express), two SATA Express ports, and and an M.2 socket.
On the rear I/O you get two USB 3.1 ports (one each Type-A and Type-C), two USB 3.0 ports, four USB 2.0 ports, a BIOS Flashback button, HDMI output, GbE LAN, PS/2 keyboard/mouse port, and audio ports.
You can grab the ROG Maximus VIII Ranger on sale here.

Paul has been playing PC games and raking his knuckles on computer hardware since the Commodore 64. He does not have any tattoos, but thinks it would be cool to get one that reads LOAD"*",8,1. In his off time, he rides motorcycles and wrestles alligators (only one of those is true).
