I'm looking at upgrading my computer's motherboard and I want the color to be blue so it matches my PC's color scheme. I looked at many people's custom builds on PCPartPicker and lots of people used an ASRock Z97 Extreme4 motherboard. However, I'm not too familiar with this company and reviews are all over the place. On Amazon, that motherboard got 3 out of 5 stars since majority of the ratings were negative. On the other hand, MSI a company that I'm familiar with, also has their own version of the Z97 in the color blue. So here's my question, which company is better? I have a budget of up to $150 dollars for a motherboard so if there's any other motherboards you guys recommend, please let me know.

Thanks for the support,
Ken

Of the two, I'd go the Rock, I won't build on MSI due to their poor QC (quality control), for client builds I stick with Asus, the Rock and GB
