I suggested constructing a gaming PC for your friend with a completely white build. She has an i5-12400 or an i7-11700K, and you're looking for a white motherboard compatible with LGA 1700 or LGA 1200 for about $150. I personally dislike white PC parts, though she already owns a white case.

There aren't many white motherboards compatible with LGA 1200 and 1700 sockets, though they can be expensive. Here are a few options I found:

These CPUs were chosen specifically. LGA 1151 is outdated, and Ryzen isn't suitable here. You can still find compatible AM4 boards if you're in the US.

Got it, I understand you're referring to LGA 1700 and mentioned the 8700K CPU.

It's interesting what you noticed about the white motherboards. Most actually have a black and white PCB design. I found a B360 model, though it might not be very practical. Still, white PCBs definitely look nice! I think there’s still a lot of black in them, but painting connectors could be a simple fix.

The nearest match for a white LGA 1700 board is the MSI B660M Mortar WiFi, featuring white/silver components while the main board is black. For LGA 1200, the NXZT N7 Z590 in white is available, though it only has white covers over a black PCB.
