I began constructing my first PC about a month and a half ago. I had a basic budget of $800, 2 days later my ceiling got pushed up to $1k. I'm floating at about $2k right now..

I got an Asus P8Z77-V LK when I was still operating under a budget, now I'm thinking about returning it and getting a more appropriate MB.

color isn't a deciding factor, but the theme of the machine is white and black with blue and white lighting. So I'd like to avoid red or yellow on the mb.
 
Solution
I recommend you this one : http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-motherboard-z77agd65gaming. I just took a look at about all of the Z77 motherboards for my own build, about a few hours ago, and I feel like it is the best choice.

Edit: Sorry I read over the post a few times then something clicked. Nothing seems to be wrong with the msi board, just I am not a fan of mine(albeit yours is probably worlds better). If you don't need the extra threads of the 3770k, 8 gb of ram(not bought), and would be willing to drop the hdd to barracudda

you could save arround 225 dollars to which you get get a gtx 780 instead of 770 for the same price as your current build.

Edit: Sorry, scatterbrain, I forgot to mention evo does not particularly like tall heatsink ram on mobos sometimes, and you might consider
getting low profile vengence instead of current or getting liquid cooler.
