I'm choosing between Gigabyte H87N-wifi and Asrock B85-itx. Are they similar or do they have too much of difference to suggest that the H87N is worth is extra buck?

No, It isn't worth the extra as they both are quite similar, except for the Gigabyte wifi which their wifi cards aren't very good anyways. I would go for the ASRock board, as ASRock tend to be cheaper and very high quality + has the reliability (I own an ASRock board (X79 Extreme7)). Both have a PCI-E 3.0 x16 slot and 2 Ram slots so both are quite similar except for the H87 chip which isn;t much of a difference if the price difference is quite large. The ASRock board would be the better option for a budget board and going H87 isn't worth it for the price gap. You might as well spend the extra on something that actually has a noticeable difference like a graphics card, not a motherboard.
