I'm picking parts for new pc (considering i5 6600K, Sapphire Nitro r9 380x, 16GB DDR4), and I have a fairly limited choice between these four 'budget' z170 ATX motherboards:

-ASROCK z170 PRO4S
-ASUS z170-K
-Gigabyte z170-HD3P
-MSI z170A MATE

Some additional context and specific needs:
ASROCK is 10% cheper, while ASUS is 10% more expensive in my current market, then the other two options (GB/MSI) which are priced the same (135$).
Decent onboard audio codec plays a role, since i do some recording and editing, but i'm planning to buy audio card in a future. Main use will be gaming (rpg/moba). Overclocking possibilities are also a factor, since i will be stuck with one of these MB for about 5 years.

Depending what you're doing/spending the ASRock supports the fastest memory (3866), however that stuffs rare and expensive. Otherwise they are all nearly the same. I prefer ASUS for quality but you really can't go wrong with any of them.
