Im currently building a matx gaming computer not sure which board would be the best for gaming and overclocking
Gigabyte Z97MX Gaming 5 $188 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
Asus Z97M Plus $155 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
MSI Z97M Gaming $211 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
Prices are a bit higher where im from
Paired with a i5 4690k and my old r9 280x aerocool ds cube
The asus board seems to be the cheapest one will it over clock as good as the msi and gigabite board?

Your links do not seem to work.
Really, any Z97 motherboard will oc a 4690K to a safe level.
How high that is will depend on your luck in the bin lottery.

As an example of one, the ASUS maximus II gene that I bought has been superb.
I am not much of a sound person, but I think the motherboard sound is a cut above.

the ASUS maximus II gene was my first choice but its price was a bit high 263$ and for some reason it only has one year warranty compared 2 years for the others.. its odd high end mother boards have shorter warranty than mid range once where im from
