Depends on what you need really

ASRock is always cheaper than the competitors, although in my personal experience, I can't tell a difference between an ASRock board and an ASUS/Gigabyte/MSI one in terms of quality. They probably invest less in marketing and therefore are able to sell their products at a lower price.
