Hey guys. Pretty soon I'm planning on getting an H170 mobo with an i5 6500 cpu. Thing is, I can't decide. There are three I've had my eye on and all of them have features I like, but maybe you guys can help me out. I'm leaning more towards the ASUS, but I've heard good things about these others too. Anyways, here's what I'm looking at:

ASUS H170 Pro Gaming

Gigabyte GA-H170-D3HP

MSI Gaming M3

In case you're wondering, A: I have no plans on overclocking, B: I'll only be using a single GPU, and C: Appearance isn't a major concern.

I purchased the ASUS H170 Pro Gaming for my new i5-6500 desktop. Very pleased with this versatile motherboard. It's one of those 'best bang for the buck' items. Also, I noticed today that the price given on a major on-line retailer dropped $20.00 from my purchase date of about three weeks ago.
