I am building a new gaming/general workstation PC in two days. These are the components I have picked out without a motherboard. That's where you come in - I would like to hear your suggestions! If possible, I would like the motherboard to be as black as possible to go with the look of the rest of the machine (white on black).

CPU: Intel i7-4930K
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
GPU: 2x EVGA GeForce GTX 780Ti 3GB in SLI
RAM: Corsair Dominator Platinum 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600 MHz
SSD: Samsung 840 Pro 256GB
PSU: Corsair RM Series 1000 Watt ATX/EPS 80PLUS
Sound: Asus XONAR ESSENCE
Case: Corsair Obsidian Series 750D
Case Cooling: Corsair AF120 High Performance Fans

Thanks in advance!

That is an extremely nice motherboard, but I feel like it may be a little overkill. I do not really intend to overclock whatsoever and I'm not sure that I will use many of the features included. I love the black, but I was hoping to get something for under $330 or so. Any recommendations for that price point?

The Ramapage is one of the darker boards you will fine. It's certainly a great choice, although I can agree that some of the features are overkill. Maybe look at the X79 Sabertooth, just a little over $300 on Amazon right now and, if it's anything like its Z series cousins it's a nice board
