What cooler do you plan to use? At this price range, there won't be a big different between OC potential of each boards, yet MSI Z87 G45 gaming yield a bit higher performance in techpowerup's test: http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/MSI/Z87-G45_GAMING/

It's not an easy choice. All those boards should be pretty decent for overclocking. I myself prefer ASRock or Asus boards. I had my 3570K oc'd to 4.8 ghz without issue on my Z77 Extreme4.
