Hey community,
Question is simple, i'm looking for a good mobo for overclocking my new Mini-ITX build.
I already decided i want to go with a Z97 board but i realy can't decide wich one in specific i want to go with.
I'm far from an expert on mobos and very new to overclocking so i do want some help with selecting a good and reliable board with a managable BIOS.
That last point because i'm fairly new to overclocking so don't expect me to go fiddle around with individual timings and such.
I'm happy when i can raise the voltage and mhz without my rig bursting into flames.
This is the website where i usualy buy my stuff so you can see what i have available.

(I can't order anything from the US or overseas general because our taxation over here in Belgium went totally nuts and asks insane tax rates on any slightly expensive goods that are imported)
Here is my rig btw:
CPU: i5-4690K watercooled
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 (haven't decided yet on a specific one)
PSU: Corsair RM650
RAM: 16GB of 2133 Mhz RAM, prolly going with Corsair Vengeance since i have good experiences with those.
Case is going to be a Corsair 380T, but with a 200mm fan infront pulling air in (not the stock 140mm) and a 120mm at the back for exhaust.
So it has fairly decent airflow for a Mini-ITX case and there's a constant "breeze" over the the Mobo.
And a 240mm radiator at the side for the CPU cooling.
Also, could somebody explain to me what makes the Asus Maximus VII so special?
I mean, i know it"s good but i want to know what exactly it has over the others and if it's useful to me.
Thanks in advance and sorry for the wall-o-txt.
