I am buying my first built computer from www.msy.com and not sure what motherboard is best for me. Will only be using MSY since im in WA, Australia and its the best choice for me.

The options are:
AsRock H97 Performance $137 MSI H97-Gaming3 $149
Asus H97-Plus $145 Gigabyte H97-D3H $144
Asus H97-PRO $154 Gigabyte H97-Gaming 3 $148

ATM i'm leaning towards the AsRock H97 simply because i don't want to spend money where i don't need it but i am still not sure so a second opinion would be great.

My build will be
MB - ?
CPU - Intel i5-4590
GPU - MSI-TF GeForce GTX 750ti
RAM - 4G Kit G.Skill Ripjaws-X
HDD - WD BLue 500G
PSU - Antec HCG-Modular 620
Case - Corsair Carbide 200R
Wireless - Asus PCE-N15

Will also also be upgrading the RAM to 16g and the GPU to a GTX 770 in the future and buying another HDD and SSD.

First time making a new tread so i apologize in advance for anything done wrong.
Thanks

AsRock H97 Performance is a good motherboard but if you want a motherboard with highest level of quality among those, then stick with Asus H97-Plus motherboard(considering the price difference between AsRock and Asus is very less, AsRock's motherboard are known for good quality at budget-friendly price, while Asus motherboards are known for topmost quality at a price).
Asus makes solid LGA 1150 boards and H97-Plus is really a good choice.

Thanks for the reply, getting the Asus H97-Plus sounds good to me. Is there much difference between the Asus Plus and Pro or should i stick to just getting the H97-Plus?
