Ok so I want to upgrade my mobo in my computer so I can run sli with my gtx 760s. The thing is all the mobos from asus for fm2+ have a black and yellow scheme going and I am doing a black and red colour scheme... Also I only want to use ASUS for motherboards. What should I do??? Can red leds some what hide the yellow parts of the motherboard??? or should I spend roughly $600 and upgrade my a10 7700k to something like an i5 4690 and get a maximus IV motherboard????

 

PLEASE HELP AS I REALLY WANT MY COMPONENTS TO LOOK GOOD TOGETHER AS I DO HAVE A WINDOW

Why does it have to be Asus 

 

Step up to a 4690k, but please for the love of god don't waste money on a ROG board unless you actually need some of the features they add...

FM2+ / A88X doesn't support SLI. Ever.

 

Upgrade to a 4690K + Gigabyte Gaming 5 or something.

as previously stated, you won't get SLI support with that. You'd also run into a heavy bottleneck, running GPUs that are essencially more powerful than a Titan together with an FM2 CPU. What is your budget in total?
