I think BR could go "not like new" only if you burned it. Mine looks perfect even after long time. And I still have everything with it.
Not sure there is point in buying one.. Even tho for general computing/games X58 platform is enough.

It's still quite a nice board. And coupled with one 970/980/980X/990X - even powerful enough.

Yea I kinda thought about upgrading to better CPU, but currently I think I need more memory (PhotoShop reasons..).
Strange age we live in now. Even old CPUs are still more than enough for.. pretty much everything.

Sure, strange times - and the price of 970/980/980X/990X holds quite high levels, even second hand ones. It's better to get directly a X79 board and 3930K.

Yep, agreed .. next stop for me is probably X79. Sad that I wont be able to get similar mobo to my Bloodrage. Probably will try eVGA..
