Help with picking a new LGA 1150 board, all advice welcome.

[Al-Dazzlez]

Hi all!
I hope I am posting in the right area, if not; mods please guide me.
To the point, I would like to avoid an essay as I usually end up writing one up.
Had a Z87 Fatal1ty Killer, with an i7 4770k.
Thought GPU died one day. Turns out its mobo.
Want to just replace the mobo.
Would like to spend around 500 AUD (360~USD) on a new LGA 1150 board, but since they are not made anymore (in im not wrong) I find it hard to compare things on the net since many articles and comparisons were posted at different times throughout the last few years.
Basically I OC to about 4.2 on an air cooler.
I run 32gb ram, and 6 hard drives (1 1tb ssd and 5 5tb drives) and a dedicated sound card plus some bits and pieces like lighitng and a fan controller, all through a 1200W psu by Cooeler Master. and an AMD R9 390 Black Ed by XFX

Now the thing is i have been browsing but seem to find it very hard to pick which one I should get since for the money someone recommended the ASUS Tuf sabertooth 1 z97 or whatever its called but I got picky since my case is black and white themed.
But either way, can anyone recommend anything that I can run for minimum 5 years with no worry that fills my budget, colour scheme, is ATX size and can take quite a beating?

Thanks in advance.
PS yes if you want to know I game heavily on 3 screens and in terms of GPU its temporary until pascal is released. If that is of any relevance.

before you buy a new mb why dont you have asus replace under warranty the old mb. if they dont make the z87 they can send you the newer z97 as a warranty replacement.

Its an ASROCK, and I bought it with a years warranty. But do not worry, I am looking into it, and even of they do I am handing that board to my dad who is looking at sourcing his own parts.
I saw it as a chance to give the pc relief of its oldest part as well tho so I am still hooked on the idea.

That is worth a try checking with ASUS for a replacement due to warranty.

If that does not work this may be of use: https://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=27523&cPath=1491&utm_source=googlebase&utm_medium=cse&utm_campaign=export_feed#googlebase

Exactly the place I was planning to buy from, even though they have screwed me over a couple of times. Thank you for the advice and reply though, it is appreciated.
But if I may, do you think the Asus Maximus VI extreme or Maximus VII Formula are also worth looking at?

 

[Rabmac]

While both those are good boards the Asus Maximus VI extreme has Z87 chipset but the Maximus VII Formula has Z97 chipset. For this reason I would recommend the Maximus VII Formula.

The Z97 has a few advantages over the Z87:

1. It can take both Haswell and Broadwell CPUs. I know some Z87 take the Devil's Canyon processor but they usually need a BIOS update.

2. The Z97 chipset supports SATA Express and M.2 which means you can get better throughput from SSDs.

This will give you better upgrade options and most likely a better resale value in the future when you do your next upgrade and sell your existing parts.
