I'm going to get the new i7 4770k and was looking at the MSI z87 GD65 gaming motherboard. I am currently running 1 gpu might go to 2 the future. I also would like to overlock the cpu to about 4.4 ghz. Would also like to keep the red and black colours. Would this be the best board for me or is something that i should have a look at besides the gd65 at around the same price. Thanks

sounds like the msi is exactly what your looking for, only other z87 boards that are red and black are the rog boards but their way more expensive

The only well known boards in that range are ASUS rog boards $200+, and msi boards, $100ish, im pretty sure if you searched around, there would be a no-so well-known manufacture that makes cheaper red-black mobos

Build: Fx-8120@4.1ghz,  Gtx770@1.0ghz,  16gb Patriot memory,  Cheap case from thermaltake
