Yellow AM3+ Mobo

Does anyone know of a yellow AM3/AM3+ motherboard? Doing a yellow themed build for a friend. The reason I ask is because the GPU is a Sapphire Toxic R9 270X.  Anything that looks good with that card would be great.

 

I MEANT AM3/AM3+ MOBO IN THE TITLE SORRY

Seems like AM3+ is the only non-gold themed board ASUS makes... Figures. Anyways, why does it have to be that card? Yellow is a hard theme, blue/red would be easier to get.

There is no such thing. 

 

Uh, most of ASUS's boards have that color scheme: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131986&clickid=wD0xGUWb4zX%3A2wdwsMzmwXygUkTQGnVp3Q0Xws0&iradid=97618&ircid=2106&irpid=79301&nm_mc=AFC-IR&cm_mmc=AFC-IR-_-na-_-na-_-na

What CPU do you want? You might be able to get away with another socket/cpu.

I know what you mean, it just sounded like you ment for all motherboards, so I cannot agree with that statement. Anyways, in my opinion, yellow is a hard color to scheme (Unless yellow ram, everything else black, and yellow wires)

What is the budget/needs? I would like to take a shot at making it :)

Under a grand or within $100 USD of it. He want's to play games at medium to high settings with no AA. Color themed would be great, yellow would be best, and that's about it. Any vendor thats US too.

Otherwise, I would spend the extra money on a better cooler, more ram, better GPU, or an SSD.
 
Edit: I wanted to throw the case out there because it is new, and supports a LOT of fans. http://www.corsair.com/en-us/obsidian-series-450d-mid-tower-pc-case

I know lol, but something of that type (or even a 120/140mm radiator and a 3750k/4670k) to be able to add a good fan.

this I guess

 

But if you're putting anything remotely decent in the rig (which I'm guessing you are) then don't even think about it :P
