Hi everyone! I'm looking for a little guidance motherboard-wise.

My budget is a max of $150. I want it to have a whole bunch of 3.0 usb ports and capacity for at least 2 monitors. Color scheme isn't a big deal but I want it to look nice.

I've already picked my CPU and graphics card:
PNY VCGGTX660XPB GeForce GTX 660 2GB 192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

and

Intel Core i7-4770K Haswell 3.5GHz LGA 1150 84W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics BX80646I74770K

I also would like the motherboard to fit into a mid-size tower or smaller. (If you have some insight into this that you'd like to share that would be awesome).

I'll be doing a moderate amount of gaming (skyrim, diablo 3, sims)

I'd like it to have a RAM capacity of 32gb.

I've looked at a whole bunch of motherboards but I'm not really sure what I'm looking at specs-wise.

thank you all for your help :)

You will need a Z87 chipset and an LGA1150 socket for what you describe.
Head over to Newegg and apply the filters for that type of board, $150 and less, then look for one with lots of USB ports.
All the ones that will be offered will be good for the job.
At that point just pick something that you like the look of. That will be a personal choice.

And have fun building your new system.
