I'm looking for a new motherboard for z97

[Alaispera]

I want to get a white z97 motherboard and I was thinking about the msi sli krait edition but I heard that it has a really bad onboard sound. Are there any other white motherboards that would be nice and not really expensive?

What do you have now?
What do you hope to accomplish by changing the motherboard?

I have the MSI SLI plus xD I just want a new board that goes with the whole theme of the pc

The not really expensive part is the tough one.

I know a few people using the MSI SLI Krait Edition boards that got a Sound Blaster E1 USB sound "card". That makes them have excellent sound, but it adds about $30 + shipping (USA) to the cost.

A better option (from my perspective) would be to use the ASUS Sabertooth Z97 Mark 1/USB 3.1 motherboard, but it is about $208:

Good luck!
