Worth getting a new mobo

So I have the MSI g-43 z77 and I was just wondering if I should up grade to a more advanced/ higher quality mobo. I am not sure of running sli or no, I have the psu to do so. I like the blue colors, so I would get one with blue accents, or a sabertooth with the cover over the entire mobo but that one might be too expensive. Would it be worth getting a better mobo?

If you already have a motherboard you like the look of and then upgrading would be a waste of money. Spend the money on a sound card, more storage or a better video card.

Would I get a higher/ more stable OC with a better one?

Yes, but you already have a decent board, there is no point in upgrading.
