can I please get some suggestions on motherboard that are lga 1150, under 200$, solid black or black and blue, is not made by asrock because everyone tells me they are not a good brand, good for gaming and overclocking a 4790k, durable, and has at least 2x x16 PCIe 3.0 slots or more.
Thank you experts for your time and research

I need something that is black or black and blue or at least black with another color that wont kill a blue color theme

do you remember me PMing you about the gaming series motherboards by msi or gigabyte well im thinking that red on them would ruin a good blue color theme Im trying to do black and blue with slow pulsing blue leds and later on I will be doing a custom loop and I will be doing petg clear or clear blue tubing and if I do just clear I will be dropping a blue dye in there so I really am pulling my hair out over this because I cant find a good motherboard that everyone can agree on and the only ones I can find that are black and blue are Asrock boards and that kinda sucks because people dont like that manufacturer and the other motherboards that i can find that have blue on them are msi and you said you dont like them
