The mother boards i was looking at for a black or black green color scheme. To be paired with a 6600k by the way

Do you think not having an IO shield thing would still look ok?

It's up to you and what sort of build you want.

If you want everything to be super clean then an IO shield would work best.

If you're going for more of a bare metal type build, then no IO shield.

It really depends on what you are willing to pay for the features each mobo has and in particular the software, because while it is nice to have extra usb ports that can always be achieved by a usb hub. If you aren't going to need any of the software and don't mind possibly a lesser bios then the only deciding factors should be if it has wifi built in if you are going to be using wifi or that it has a good Ethernet port. If you don't need anything special you can buy some cheap $70 ASUS Mobo with no features.
