Hy guyz, i am building a new gaming pc and i can't decide between these 3 motherboards, can you tell me wich one is better in term of specs and quality? Also if you have a better mobo to suggest (in the same price tag) go ahead. In my country all cards are at almost the same price, around 220$. I will use this mobo with a i5-6600k and i will overclock it when needed so i need it to be ok for overclocking as well :).

I am a die-hard ASrock fan (using them since my G31 motherboard) but I will go for the Asus Ranger. A lot of reviews were showing the ASrock K4 to be a lemon in terms of overclocking - the board was not really cooperative, so I do not have high expectations for the K6 either.

The Asus Ranger is my opinion the best choice - durability/features wise. The G5 is a awesome board but here it is considerably cheaper than the ranger (160 vs 200 EUR) so it makes sense for the price. But if it is the same price as the Ranger - then Asus is the way to go.

You think the ranger is a better and more stable overclocker?
