My opinion is bias lol
Is it worth the extra $200 over the E-Gaming? Probably not. I personally just couldn't resist as imo this MB looks amazing! Performance is 100% there too. Overclocking is super easy, and the layout is good as well. My nickname just so happens to Rog as well so that's a definite plus!
