New Motherboard (X99)

Hi,

Looking for advice for a new motherboard.

My only preferences are it needs to have black white or red colour, an OC socket & full speed M2 slot.

Price Range about £200 - £250.

Current Spec:

5930k (Currently @ 4.4Ghz)
MSI X99a Krait Edition
Corsair Dominator Platinum (16GB)

cheers

Doesn't look like that board has an OC socket?

Why do you need the OC socket? The only thing it improves is cache overclocking which has negligible performance impact.
