I'm myself not very interested in boards built-in WIFI unless it's an ITX board, since the extra money you paid for that WIFI module can get you a better usb/pci/pci-e WIFI device. As for A85x, unless you need to run 8 SSDs in Raid 5 setups then it's not necessary. A75 boards are sufficient in most situaions.

Just RAID 5, and 2 more SATA3 ports over D3 ( A75/D3 has 6, A85x/D4 has 8). A85x is treated as a high-end chipset, therefor A85x boards are meant to have more features and A75/A55 ones. But then that doesn't apply to all A85x/A75 boards. There are some high-end A75 boards like Asrock FM2A75 Pro4, and some crappy A85x boards like Biostar A85S3.
As for onboard Wifi: most of them aren't better than discrete WIFI modules.

Eh don't bring D2 in. D2/A55 lacks both usb3 and sata3 ports. D3/A75 has less ports than D4/A85x. And no, chipset type doesn't affect the IGP's performance any at all.
