So I'm choosing between these 4 motherboards:

B150M Night Elf
B150A GAMING PRO
B150 GAMING M3
H170 GAMING M3

(PS I have a black and red theme, and yes there are other black motherboards, but most of them have those lame light blue capacitors)

rest of the build:

WD 1TB Blue
Zotac GTX 970 Dual Fan
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB)
Corsair H55 Quiet AIO CPU Cooler
Intel Core i5-6400 / i5-6500
Corsair CS650M 80+ Gold
Tecware Alpha Mid USB3.0

This is for my main pc, basically workstation for my college subjects (mainly IT software), a bit of editing, and gaming.
EDIT: would be nice if i'd be provided with the different features of these motherboards too
EDIT: B150 vs H170 vs B150 express

Go for MSI Gaming PRO.
Reasons:-
Got RGB Lighting which would look awesome from your case's window.
MSI B150M night elf got military class 4 components (so we will take it out from our list).
MSI H170 should be considered only when you are going to use RAIDS or any other special features. (It lacks on LED lighting also)
MSI B150M M3 also doesnt has LED lighting.
Hope it helps! Good Luck! Happy Gaming !

Why would the "Military Class 4 components" be a reasonable reason to disqualify a motherboard?



Why don't you use a workstation motherboard instead? This is also an MSI:

For gaming, workstation board aren't the best you can get, even it has a features like a gaming motherboard.
And military class motherboard isn't just marketing. its a real specifcations board with tested feature and durability.
