Running Linux full time, only booting to Windows when I need to! SSDs and a dual-boot solution run through GRUB makes it painless!
 
Looks nice.

Weren't feeling the Skylake itch?

The more I keep looking at the price and performance comparisons, anyone doing a new build that's not based on Skylake should either have issues with it and prefer the tried and true, or are not aware of the future proofing they're giving up.

Or on X99 chipset and waiting for Skylake E to launch :P
