Hey guys, so I am wanting to rebuild my computer and don't really know what board to get. I want a z97 and am probably getting a 4670k, I was wanting to do a blue build but I don't see really any good boards other than the asrock, but there's no reviews on it. I also am going to be doing a full watercooling loop if that matters. As of now wanting to keep the board under $260. Thanks for any help guys, its kind of driving me nuts trying to decide
 
Best I can find is the MSI Z97S SLI Plus I'm shocked at Gigabyte they were all about the blue boards but now everything is black.

EDIT there is the ROG Maximus option and paint the armour..

Yea everyone is black,red or well that's basicly what everyone is doing. Had a thought about getting a Sabertooth mk1 and painting the armor white, Maybe get some blue ram and blue coolant?? Still looking might still change the color if I have to but would kinda prefer not to

Wasn't snef working on something like that now that I think about it?
 
To be totally honest Asrocks higher end z97 (not anything ending in 3) stuff is fine, asrock have become much better than they used to be. Its also blue, so that'll be good for you.

I've seen those, just not sure how I feel about them.Wish there was some reviews on the extreme 9

Black seems to be all the rage. I think manufacturers have realized that its universal and will work with any color build. thus they are likely going to get more sales as people arnt going to choose another brand because the color isnt quite right.

Good, I'm f***ing fed up of red. (No offence to anyone with a red build obvs ^_^ )
 
Personally I would pick based on price/ performance and then paint the board in whatever way to try and make the colour scheme of my build work. Just my 2 pennies ^_^.
 
ok well I will do some more research

EDIT- Ok so I think either the sabertooth mk1 or the msi gaming 7. Is there reasons why one of these would be better?
