I really love how this motherboard is black and there isn't much yellow so if I could paint it white that would be amazing because I have a black and white themed build and yellow just would throw it off. I have amazing patience so I wouldn't get any paint on the PCB (I would also put paper towels around it so that it wouldn't drip). But is it possible to paint it? If so, what sort of paint should I use? Thanks.

you can use plasti dip if you dont want it permanently.
or you can use any spray paint for metal you might want to use mat.
just mask the areas you want with masking tape so you do not paint the whole thing.
i would recomend spray paint so it can be even.
but mask it realy good even 2 times if you need.2-3 light coats should do.
you should get something like this.

uscreew the heatsinks and pait them after fit them back on just be extremely carefull especaly when screwing it back because the screws are delicate and might brake if force is aplied.you might want to add thermal grase after as well.

It'll take me awhile to get the money for an Intel CPU and Motherboard. I currently have an FX-8350 but even paired with a GTX770 it gets piss poor performance in Arma/DayZ. But I will definitely post a picture when it's done.
