Picking a Motherboard

[Deathwing777]

I'm trying to decide between 3 motherboards. Below are the links to the deals including the motherboards:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157378

It mainly comes down to the motherboards. As of now the GIGABYTE looks better:

Here's the MSI:

Here's the AsRock:

I was originally going to get a different CPU but now I look at it as upgrading my CPU and maybe get a z87 instead of a h87 motherboard while getting a game for a discount. I'm most likely going to buy the game anyways, so this way I save money.

The gigabyte is Micro ATX, the other 2 are normal ATX size. I don't know what case you have, but make sure you can fit any of these in.

If i were you I'd definetely go with this:

Since you get a CPU with it and a game.

I agree with Gustafangus, and the Asrock is an H87 also.

The CPU I'm getting i5-4670 has a built in turbo to raise the speed. Can turbo work on a H87 board or does it work like overclocking and need a Z87 board?

I'm using an Antec 900 mid-tower case. So either size should work.

I believe the turbo works on H87 boards.

What about the GPU? Do I need a Z87 board to overclock that?

No you don't. Two totally different functions.
