Ok, so im trying to match all of the colors for my new build too look as clean as possible. My build is going to be black and blue (somehow just worked out like that after picking my parts). So, my main problem is that my next mobo choice is red and blakc and would not fit at all with the parts.  So my next problem is that i need a great black and blue mobo that meets these requirements:

 

Good OC

Z97

Supports CF

Prefer MSI but ill settle for other brands

Something equal or greater than the MSI Gaming 5

150 dollars and under

Good features

The Z97S SLI has SATA Express and the G55 SLI doesn't.

The G55 SLI has 2 more USB 3.0 front ports.

 

I'd go with the Z97S SLI.

You could create a poll with some of the motherboard you've seen and see what people vote for. That would be the easiest way to get a clear answer.
