You've probably noticed I'm missing a motherboard and I need one but I'm not sure which one to get. I'm looking to use this PC for gaming FPS games mainly and I'm going with the black/red colour scheme. Can anyone recommend a good motherboard for about £70-90?

Solid Build.

 

IMHO check out the ROG Ranger board or one of MSI's Gaming offerings for a red/black scheme.

^ This, these boards are probably going to suit it well.

Also, this is a really solid build.
