x99 Motherboard Recomendations

[MacintoshProductions]

I have decided to go with x99 for its performance and for its long lasting performance. The problem is which motherboard do i get, and that is why i set out to ask you guys which motherboard for x99 would be the best for me. My budget is $300 for the motherboard max and it has to be black with with blue accents. If its black and has highlights of another color, im am open to plastidiping it so no big deal.

Its nice to hear from a high ranking member in the forums on this topic, but my budget is $300 max for the motherboard unless its features make it that much better

I prefer ASUS or Gigabyte.

msi x99sli plus black edition x99 is below 300 dollars. and it's a really pretty all black design.

it's $225 on amazon.

also if you didn't know you can get 40 dollars off selected motherboards when you purchase a 5820k at the same time at Microcenter.

I think I got my proc (5820k) for 299 plus tax and motherboard (asus x99 deluxe) for 360 plus tax. total roughly a little over $700. If you buy separately and pick a lower cost mobo you'll likely save less than 70 bucks with my bad math estimations.
