Looking for motherboard.

[Reds Duty]

I know this question has been asked about a MILLION times, but please... Help me out!

I am looking for a good motherboard for the Intel Core i5 4690k lga1150.

I would like a black and blue, or completely black color schedule...

I will be using an msi gtx 970 with reference cooling, 16gb of ram, 2-3 hard drives, all in a nzxt s340.

I would like an Atx board, and as cheap as possible, but without making too much compromises. (Bang for the buck)

I know ASUS makes solid quality, as well as msi (and probably the others too).

I am not planning to upgrade to broadwell or to sli anytime soon... So no sli support, and z87 are fine I guess.

I was looking at the MSI z97 pc mate... But some reviews point at problems with usb drivers and other driver problems. So...

Please help me out! Thanks

MSI PC MATE is good. Pretty much every board has a few bad reviews. 

 

That's the only Black/Blue board I really know of. You could look at the ASUS Z97-A (or other variants). They're mainly black. Or the MSI SLI Krait which is black with white accents, but at a very good price.

Thanks!

I looked some more advices up about this board, and all they say is not to overclock past 4.5Ghz... Which I wasn't planning... I will be already happy if I get it between 4.0-4.3Ghz... Guess I'll get that one then! Thanks for the advice!

Edit: what about the Asrock Z97 anniversary or the Asrock Z97 pro 3?
