I'm planning to do my first build with Athlon X4 860K but can't decide which motherboard to pair it with. If it helps here's my planned build:
I will, of course, play AAA games (medium quality) and some CPU intensive indie games like Kerbal Space Program and Rimworld so I will also mild (no over the top crazy) overclock the CPU after a while to keep up with demands. No CrossFire.

Basically the rest of the other components leaves me with only around $70 for motherboard.
From what I can see they're all basically come with the same features and have no game changing differences whatsoever so I lean more towards ASRock FM2A88M-HD+ or ASRock FM2A88X Extreme6+. My concerns are these (in fact all the listed boards below) motherboard doesn't come with VRM heatsink and the lower price compared to other boards that leads to the perceived/rumored low quality build of ASRock boards. I really can't go over $70 unless that is absolutely needed (quality issues).

Here is the list of some boards that within my tight budget (local price converted to USD):
Does the $10-$20 price difference will make any noticeable differences for me?
Which board would you suggest?
I may have missed some key features when comparing those boards so please kindly state any points I may have missed.

Solution
Get either the ASRock FM2A88X Extreme6+ or the Gigabyte GA-F2A88XM-HD3 motherboards. If you are going to be overclocking, go for the ASRock motherboard. Otherwise, the Gigabyte motherboard will be great for your needs. Both are great quality motherboards.
