I am choosing between the ASROCK EXTREME4 (107 pounds), the BIOSTAR RACING GT7 (124) and the MSI PRO GAMING CARBON(127). I am getting a 6600k and I plan to OC to about 4(.2) GHZ. The features I am looking for are:
2+ pciex16 lanes (not required to be electrically x16)
A fair amount of usb 3
At least 1 USB 3.1 type C port
A usb 3.1 type a port (optional)
SLI/CFX not required
ideally white/black color scheme but not required
no required software
decent BIOS
6 audio ports
ideally non-killer NIC

Any input is appreciated and if you think a different motherboard is better, please post. Cheaper is better because I can spend more on other stuff like peripherals. The EXTREME4 has some weird vcore overshoot according to G3D. If anyone can confirm this that would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

I don't currently own any type C devices but it is getting popular very fast so I would like to have it when I upgrade my phone or if I get an external SSD. What features does the carbon have over the others?
