Hi. I'm planing to build a new pc, so need new motherboard. I look some with better audio output. So help me to choose the right thing, with more features, ports, quality, brand, and etc. Don't need bling bling, don't plan oc, sli or cf. Use for g4560, and maybe upgrade to i5 or i7.

It's all around 80$. Also you can recommend something other with h or z chipset, maybe in future I plan to oc or something, but I think I stay with b chipset cause budget is tight right now...

Since these boards all use the B250 chipset there will not be much difference between them, but if your thinking about future proofing, i would pick the Asus board. It's the only board in the group with two M.2 sockets. [1 x32 & 1 x16] If you buy an M.2 drive now and later want to upgrade to a faster M.2 NVME PCIe drive, you won't have to throw out your first drive because you only have one M.2 socket. It also has a USB 3.0 Type-C port on the back.

If you want a Z270 or H270 that's not much more expensive, i would suggest the ASRock H270M PRO4 or the ASRock Z270M PRO4.

I don't see anything very different from the others. On my next build i will definitely choose a mATX board. There's not much need for all the extra PCIe slots in an ATX motherboard, 4 is plenty these days.

I've added Bluetooth to my machine with a tiny USB adapter and i use it all the time, but i have a WiFi router so WiFi on my motherboard would be no use to me. If you don't have a WiFi router already, then $20 is pretty cheap for both.
