Which of these motherboards have the best price/quality ratio? I'm on a low budget.

Gigabyte GA-H81-D3
ASRock B85 Pro4
MSI B85-G41 PC Mate
Asrock B85 Anniversary
Asrock H97 Anniversary
Gigabyte HA-H97-HD3
ASUS H81-Gamer

the gigabyte also doesnt require a bios update (and there isnt a chance of a blow up unless you have a really bad psu)

however i still suggest the asrock! extra ram support at the same price! if you have 2x8gb of ram i guess its ok as you will hardly need more!

typically the H97 is the best option. also for any older H87 - H81 - B87 chipset you must check if a bios update is needed before you can run the haswell refresh cpu.!

the following one offers 32gb of ram support has some basic vrm cooling and doesnt require a bios update.

What about the Gigabyte H81 D3, I don't need extra RAM slots or SATA. But is it good or would it explode first time I started the computer?
