It's not all about the games and cosplay
Blizzcon isn't just a convention that revolves around all things Blizzard, such as the developer's recently announced FPS game Overwatch. Vendors and manufacturers are also there to advertise their products such as Gigabyte. Maximum PC online managing editor Jimmy Thang took the time to visit the Gigabyte booth where he got to see the new model of the Brix Gaming PC kit and check out the top tier x99 motherboard.
Revealed back in June, the Brix Gaming PC kit was revealed with the i5 processor model having been released back in September. Jimmy was able to speak to a Gigabyte representative who showed him the Brix Gaming kit that has an i7 processor and Nvidia GTX 760 GPU which hasn't been released yet. Unlike the i5 model's green color, the i7 version will come in black and is expected to be out during late November or sometime in December.

Jimmy Thang also got to look at the GA-X99 Gaming G1 WIFI motherboard which was one of three new X99 chipset mobos that was announced back in August. This is the top tier mobo that features a heatsink which lights up with different modes that will let it blink to the beat of music, which it does by reading the music that is playing through a 3.5mm output jack. The lights will also pulsate on and off or can be turned off and on if you aren't into flashing lights. It also sports the LGA 2011 socket-v3 socket for Haswell-E processors and is the first generation to have DDR4 memory support.
The GA-X99 Gaming G1 WIFI is expected to sell for around $350 and is currently available online.
