I'm choosing a mobo for gaming that is both red and black, That can use the following components.

My maximum price here is $350 but i'm looking to save as much as possible without sacrificing performance too much.

 

CPU: Intel Core i7-4770K

CASE: Aerocool Strike-X Air

G-Card: Nvidia GTX 780ti

The MSI Z97-G45 gaming would be perfect, it will allow you to overclock the CPU as much as you want, is packed full of nice features and support dual GPU's (SLI/crossfire),

it's all you need really i wouldn't go any higher unless you plan on running 3 or 4 graphics card, solid board for the price:

You could also look at the newer MSI Z97 Gaming 5 motherboard wich is basicaly the same it has all the same features:

I find the dragon head shaped heatsinks on the G45 sexier but this is just personal opinion!
