I'm trying to do a bit of a theme build that is white and black with orange accents / etc.
Just wondering if you guys have any suggestions for decent motherboards that are either nearly all black or white, or black with white touches / black with orange touches.
Only board I've found so far is an older gigabyte one, but I'm hoping for something pretty decent for a high-end build.
Thanks
What chipset are you needing?
I'm thinking Intel atm and I want something fairly high-end / recent, but I'm not sure what the specific chipset should be right now. My budget is not set in stone right now and neither are my other components. However, in terms of cpu and gpu I've been eying an intel 4770 k and a GTX 760.

Thanks, ya I've had some issues with ASrock in the past myself. In terms of Gigabyte, what is the general opinion of them? The only companies I've really heard good things about are ASUS and MSI, but who knows how much is just people's preference.
Just biy black and white parts and get an orange case.
Nah, if I can't find anything suitable I will just get a black motherboard with minimal colour. I need the case to be white because my room is minimalist / white / simple, and I don't want something super bright or obvious gamer pc. I just want it to look sleek.

Well I have a Gigabyte board in my build right now and I have had no problems with it whatsover. Gigabyte, MSI, and Asus are usually the most recommended here, but with the color scheme you wanted and the and the socket type MSI and Asus didn't have any for what you needed.
Cool, thanks a lot Hydra. This thread can die now, I've got a build in mind now.

In which case, why are you planning to be showing your PC innards? :P
Asrock is actually really solid nowadays. (They had a bad start tough)
The Asrock z77 extreme 4 was actually the most reccomended MOBO on this forum in the IVY bridge age.
Currently its the MSI z87 G45 gaming (or G43)

Gigabyte is just generally solid as well.
