I'm in need of a new mobo.

150$ is my budget

I have a 4770k

And my ram is red so preferably something that looks good.

No gold. Some blue is okay I guess.

GPU: EVA FTW3 3080

Monitor: Dell 2716DGR +  another 1440p ultra sharp.

SSD: 512GB 850 Pro | 970 Pro 500

That looks good.

How is the bios? Easy to work with?

Yeah. Pretty much all modern UEFI BIOS' are easy to work with.

Save up some extra pennies and get this:

 

 
Motherboard:  Asus Maximus VI Hero ATX LGA1150 Motherboard  ($189.99 @ NCIX US) 
Total: $189.99
(Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.)
(Generated by PCPartPicker 2013-11-28 20:38 EST-0500)
 
 
Best BIOS IMO, can't go wrong with ASUS/ROG.

MAXIMUS VII HERO | i7 4770K w/ H100i | 2x8GB 1600MHz | GALAX GTX 970 x2
250GB SSD boot | 250GB x2, 1TB SSD storage | Corsair 400C | Corsair RM550

I second the gigabyte one^^^. Gigabyte BIOS is super easy and it has a falt black PCB so it makes the build so much sexier

i5 4670k| Asrock H81M-ITX| EVGA Nex 650g| WD Black 500Gb| H100 with SP120s| ASUS Matrix 7970 Platinum (just sold)| Patriot Venom 1600Mhz 8Gb| Bitfenix Prodigy. Build log in progress
