The PCIe thing has got me stumped, the old board had 4 pcie slots now the new one has 3? WTF?
For video editing and Audio DAW work to get the right mix of internal cards is now pretty much impossible on a pro level on the same machine.
PCIe x 16 Graphics cards (should have kept the older stlye ports or chnages to both the new ones i don't like the mix style)
Slot 2 Areca Raid card or similar
Slot 3 PCIe Sound Card
Slot 4













Slot 4 Blackmagic design or Aja video capture card
Slot 5 UAD2 or Scope excite DSP FX card
So basically now you HAVE to have 2 machines, which some would argue that this is the only way a professional would run any studio, but come on this is at my home
DAW:
Slot 1 Graphics
Slot 2 Audio
Slot 3 DSP
Video
Slot 1 Graphics
Slot 2 Raid Card
Slot 3 Video Capture
etc.
