Intel 3.4 GHz LGA 1150 4670K i5 4th Generation Processor

[ Specifically not going for K because I dont overclock, so dont need OC chipset on mobo either ]

The problem is there are just too many options which stumps newbie like me

intel, asus, asrock, gigabyte, msi .. and many more .. in the same price range.

For above mentioned cpu, which mobo would you go for and why?

thanks.

Boards with the same chipset are going to perform almost identically. Reviewer's will often skew graphs to make miniscule differences appear "GIGANTIC".
