I am trying to pick a mother board 

 

Everyone seems to recommend this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157511

but I really don't like the color scheme

 

Could someone recommend a motherboard with similar features with a neutral color scheme for a around $100?

 

This is my build btw: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/PJs4zy

What features does it need and would you be ok with a z97 board for around the same price (you still won't be able to oc)

Well if there is a Z97 board out there for similar price I wouldn't mind (future proof). I was looking for a LGA 1150, 4 ram slots up to 1600mhz, DDr3
