Wanting to pick up a 4770k tonight before new year ends. This is mostly for gaming/streaming. Ive currently been looking at a few mobos:

MSI z87-MPOWER MAX (currently my #1 choice so far): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130690

MSI z87-G45: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130693

ASUS z87-PRO: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131979

ok so i am going to OC the 4770k in time just not right away, so i want that option on the mobo. I currently only have a GTX 570, but ill probably upgrade it down the road, possibly SLI but maybe not. I want to the board to have the best Audio set up for my Sound blaster X-fi titanium HD.

Any suggestion are much appreciated! Thanks

The Z87-Pro has the best wireless features. The Z87-G45 has no wireless at all but it's the cheapest. Apart from that, they all have very similar features.

Same audio (Realtek ALC1150) in all 3, and you don't care anyway if you have a PCI-E x1 sound card. All support SLI.

It's hard to say which MB is best for overclocking because success at it depends on your own skill, luck, cpu type, actual cpu chip (two chips of the same type may OC differently), ram, cooler, etc.

I'd pick the Asus. I can't justify the extra $70 for the MPower (after rebates and shipping), with the features almost identical.
