Best Z97 Mobo for under $150?

My build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/ZxbxBm

I'm looking for a good Z97 board that can overclock well for under 150 dollars, preferably with a black or blue color scheme. So far I've been looking at the ASRock Z97 Extreme4 and the MSI Z97 PC Mate, although I've also heard that the boards from Gigabyte and Asus were great, too. I don't really know anything about motherboards, so any help is appreciated.

Just make sure to get the Raijintek Triton as your CPU cooler of choice, and you are good to go: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/raijintek-cpu-cooler-0r100021
