I don't need a case, PSU, GPU, or cooling solution.
i7-8086K
16GB DDR4 4000 C17 (2x8GB)
Samsung Pro 1tb m.2
I don't need bells and whistles on the mobo, so just got the most solid option for my needs (max RAM frequency, 2x m.2 port, a USB-C port, single PCI Express 3.0 x16 rail). Am I missing something, such as the m.2 rails syphoning off the PCI Express rails? I know older motherboards shared a lot of those lanes, but it seems fairly segregated these days.
