Hi guys!
So I'm making a gaming pc build, my first actually.
I want it to be able to run 2014-15 games on the highest settings at a good fps.
I've got nearly everything worked out, but I just need some help picking the motherboard.
I think I'm going to overclock, but I've never done that before but I heard it's easy with MSI.

My build so far:

i5-4670k CPU
One of the motherboards mentioned in the title
GTX 780Ti GPU
750W PSU
2tb HDD
128gb SDD
8gb RAM
Hyper 212 evo cpu cooler

I don't know which motherboard to go with.
The G43 is 110$, the G45 is 129$ and the GD65 is 162$.
Which is best or are there better motherboards for the 100$-200$ price range?

Thank you guys very much!

Those 3 motherboards have very similar features.

Pick the Z87-G43 if you need PCI slots and you're sure you don't want to add a second GTX 780 Ti.

Pick the Z87-GD65 and upgrade the PSU to 850W if you think you may want to try SLI later. I'd pick the GD65 over the G45 just because the GD65 gives you more SATA cables, LOL. They have the same features and price at Newegg if you include rebates and shipping.
