Looking for a red/black themed mobo for LGA 1151 intel. Intended for OC,Gaming,Stream, and recording video.

Any size mobo would be good, Micro-ATX or standard

4 slots for ram (or 2) DDR4

All suggestions will be put into thought

Also would like an M.2 spot on the mobo

MSI Z170A Gaming Pro RGB, Gaming M5 are what came to my mind

I personally like the Asus rog motherboards. Super stylish (especially if matched with a strix card.) But the best thing for me is the uefi bios. It's better than anything from  MSI, asrock, biostar, of any of those cheaper boards and IMO better than gigabyte but gigabyte is also OK.

Its a little piracy, but i will put it into thought  I have a actually fairly decent cap on what she wants me to build. But i am waiting for the new GPU to come out before I start doing the full build. Just getting ideas for now here.

Any thoughts on how this looks right now? (The 980 is there for price of the new gpu that will come out. You know, to give a lee-way. Gona see reviews on it first, and then decide)

This is probably good also get some DDR4-2666MHz RAM or DDR4-2800MHz RAM to go with that!

I watched a video how there wasnt much of a difference in speed from 2400  and the other 2. LTT covered that there isnt much of a benefit of it.
