Hello, I am trying to build a new gaming computer and I am somewhat confused by all the different motherboard options out there. Right now I am trying to decide on the best option out of the following to overclock my system. (This is my first attempt at overclocking so I don't know if the Mobo will make a big difference.)
All of these come bundled with the i5-4670k at $199 and a decent discount
MSI z87-G41 - $55
ASRock z87 Extreme4 - $100
Asus z87-A - $105
Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD5H - $150
Microcenter is running a bundle deal so they seem to be a bit cheaper than anything I have seen online.

Since it has been a long time since I last built a computer (roughly 5 years) I haven't kept up with many of the recent changes. I want to make sure I am going the right route and getting the best value for my money.

CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler ($29.98 @ Outlet PC)

Optical Drive: Lite-On iHAS124-04 DVD/CD Writer ($17.99 @ Newegg)
This is a listing of the rest of my build in case I am way off and should be looking at something different all together.
