I don't have much knowledge on motherboards, but i'm just finding a mini itx mobo that fits my budget (600 usd) I won't be overclocking, I don't know much about mobos and I don't want to risk frying it. I'm just looking for sturdy build quality, a mobo that will last me long, and probably the best one out of the four. The one I originally was going to go for was the asrock h270. These are the only mini itx mobos i have access to atm, since they dont sell a lot of parts where i live.

At the moment i have these as the options: (arranged by cheapest-most expensive)
Gigabyte ga-h110n mini itx
msi b250i gaming pro ac
Asrock h270 m/itx ac
Gigabyte H270N Wifi

(or sure I try to look for a z series?)

specs:
i5-7500
1x8 crucial ballistix
wdc 1tb
techware quad cube / thermaltake core v1
asus gtx 1060 6gb dual
seasonic m12ii evo 520w
