Which motherboard??

[Ethermaster]

Ok guys I'm at a crossroads as to what theme to go for for my next major build, I already have the following:

Intel Core i7 6700K
Corsair LPX 3000MHz DDR4 16Gb (2x8Gb) kit

Currently I'm considering the following boards:

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Gigabyte GA-Z170X-Gaming 7 Intel Z170 (Socket 1151) DDR4 ATX Motherboard= £164.99
• 1 x Gigabyte GA-Z170X-Gaming 5 Intel Z170 (Socket 1151) DDR4 ATX Motherboard= £149.99
• 1 x MSI Z170A Gaming M7 Intel Z170 (Socket 1151) DDR4 ATX Motherboard= £179.99

Total: £506.07
(includes shipping: £11.10)
​

Now I have built many a PC and formerly known as the 'King of Bling' on these very forums, however I'm really considering the Gaming 7 as I personally think the white and red will look epic is really under used as a whole, remembering of course I like to think that I played a part in the black and orange movement we have seen lately. So I'm looking to you guys to help me pick my next board and the theme that I will base it around.

I haven't checked the specs as your question appears to be about looks so the first one imho.

Only the middle one is in stock at the moment.

Tho I am mainly asking about looks its also important that the performance is there as well as I'm planning to have built a system here to have no HDD's no SSD's and just use M.2 storage and a GTX 980Ti

I've gone for the Gaming 7 as I have read a few reviews and doesn't seem to be any issues, plus I feel safe with Gigabyte . I think this will look so cool with no visual storage in the case with the red and white theme as well.
