Confirmed noob here.
10 years or so ago I ended up with a fair amount of disposable cash so decided to build a killer Intel 4xxx system. Custom water cooled i7 4790K, 32GB of fast RAM (when 8GB was considered okay) 2 top of the line 2TB Samsung SSDs in RAID 0 (yeah I know) and 3 GTX 980s in SLI (which never happened, only used 2 in the end) and the topper? Blew a lot of money on this.

At least 400CN 10 years ago. It was more than the CPU! And was the board worth it? Not really, the CPU silicon lottery limited any overclocking to the average. Might of been super stable and cool, but so what? After a year the Creative on board started to act up causing me to have to reboot when it did. Eventually I got a sound card to replace it.
And the virtually every "extra" like bluetooth, Wifi, 4way SLI, SATA express, and built in water blocks, never got used. As for the "Killer" networking? Meh... Overall it was a good board till it died. But a good value? Not a chance. I learned my lesson, and don't buy those over priced Noob bait boards since.
