Hey guys I'm looking for a Z87 chipset motherboard and these are 5 choices that I am considering. Just to let you guys know, I live in Singapore, and I would like to purchase my parts locally, so please do not give any Amazon/Newegg links. I have no brand preferences, but some of my friends told me that Gigabyte boards are built with the best quality among other companies. I have not used any motherboards from these companies in the past. I don't really care much about the aesthetics of the motherboards as they are going to get blocked by a giant heatsink and I will not be looking at my case that much. All help is appreciated!

These are the prices of the motherboards TOGETHER WITH THE i5-4670K.
ASUS Z87-C: $534 SGD
ASUS Z87-A: $560 SGD
MSI Z87-G45 GAMING: $540 SGD
GIGABYTE Z87-D3HP: $527 SGD
ASROCK Z87 EXTREME 4: $554 SGD

Sorry for the lack of information. This PC is mainly for gaming, but I will also surf the web and such. Yes, I will install a SINGLE MSI R9 270X Hawk on the motherboard. I do not plan to Crossfire down the road.

all these mobos, given your needs, are ALMOST the same, with a negligible price difference.
i would pick either the ASUS or MSI, both have nice features.
check them on newegg, in the specificatpns section, you might find something that interests you, like the audio options.

anyway, both are great.

Thank you very much for your reply! I think I'll go with the MSI Z87-G45 GAMING as it has more features that I will take advantage of. TBH, I like the color scheme of the Z87-G45 GAMING more than any of the 4 other boards. I am still open ears to any other opinions!
