SupremeFX Impact III is an excellent audio solution (provided you don't need 7.1 support), Intel DSL6540 10Gbps USB 3.1 TypeA and TypeC ports, Highperformance power delivery system thanks to the smart design of the Impact Power III board, 32Gbps PCIe 3.0
No M.2 connector (!), No USB 2.0 connectivity at all, More than 4 SATA 6Gbps connectors should be included, especially with the lack of M.2, PS/2 port may be missed by extreme overclockers and troubleshooting (or Windows 7) users, albeit a minor point.
