hi, as i described above, im wondering which one to choose.
i will be having INTEL 4770k with R9 vapor-x .
I am a COMPLETE noob so i was wonder what the differences were, extreme6 would offer more with less money but i hear BIOS and configurations are bit more trickier for ASROCK - would this is be very difficult for someone who have never done this before? I do not care about aesthetic quality whatsoever so please help me out.
If there are any other recommendation for MOBOS that are better than these MOBOS for its relative price (~180 dollar range) it would be amazing thanks

I'd go the Hero (and did), I decided on the Z87 Hero after about 20 assorted client builds with Haswell and never came across a Z87 mobo I would swap it out for, so when the Z97 was released I grabbed the Hero version again and it's a great mobo, even better than the Z87 is...haven't built on the Rock mobo yet, and while I think it will be a better mobo than the Z87 version, doubt it matches up to the Hero for Ocing, DRAM, BIOS features, etc

Better,i don't know,but as good i think so,

The asrock already seems like a good choice and it's the least expensive one.

There's also this one,but very overclock and multi gpu orientated,
http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-motherboard-gaz97...
it needs a psu which can provide an extra 4pin powerconnector for the cpu (probably for extreme overclocking) and with more gpu's the same,but a 6pin (probably needed only when going for more than 2 cards).I haven't really dug into it to see if these are really necessary.

Didn't know if you looked at gigabyte anyway so thought to give you these options too.

''reasoning behind this please? ''
because asrock have been built for overclocking with his Digi Power, 12 Power Phase design and Supports 5th Generation, New 4th and 4th Generation Intel® Core™ i7/i5/i3/Pentium®/Celeron® Processors (Socket 1150) and
Supports ASRock BCLK Full-range Overclocking

it do not mean the hero is not good..i had one before and never have a problem
i choose asrock because this was in your question
the hero have only 8 phases ,
