For whom is the product intended for
The existing interfaces on the motherboard Gigabyte GA-X170-Extreme ECC are comparable to those of the chipset Z170, however numerous. So Intel i processors of the sixth generation and ordinary DDR4 memory are supported. But: This is exactly how it is a Xeon processor and memory with built-in error detection. What is intended for workstations, however, also represents an extremely powerful foundation for a gaming PC. The Xeon E3 v5 works equally with each base 1151st.

Strengths and weaknesses
The Xeon so, but why: In the integrated graphics has been omitted. With an output whose use would be a waste anyway. A free multiplier does not exist also. Accordingly, it will be without overclocking. But you get on the plus side, a not to be underestimated savings over a comparable i7 and has the ability to use ECC memory, which can correct errors. Otherwise, everything is what you want. M.2 for a very fast SSD with the operating system - and a second M.2. USB 3.1 to connect fast and power-intensive equipment in two forms. Not from the way also suggests the equipping with PCIe. There is the opportunity to install three AMD or two Nvidia graphics cards.
Price-performance ratio
260 EUR you have to spend on the internet for it. But one gets sufficient equipment for a fast gaming PC. Only with USB 3.1 gegeizt. There is only one Type A and one Type C. Did you not plan to overclock, it is almost mandatory to resort to Xeon. However, the use of the motherboard is only really useful if the error correction is also used. Otherwise also reaches the chip Z170 which already starts at under 200 euros. Of course, not with the Tarnfleck optics, because if you meet the personal taste.
