which three? I think you wanted the Asus 6 impact, probably the deluxe edition and msi mitx board? all Z87

Maybe the newer Z97 MITX motherboards from Gigabyte and MSI, funny that Asus or rather JJ from Asus claimed no MITX deluxe board is on its way for LGA 1150 or 2011-3

the owner of the shop says out of stock have to wait 4 weeks

Ah, I see. How much are the Impact and Z87I-Pro? (where you're buying them from)

 

For pure features and looks, the Impact would be better, but most of the features you'll actually use are also on the Z87I - Pro. The impact is overpriced, so I'd recommend going for the Z87I-Pro. IF you could get your hands on it, then the MSI Z87I Gaming AC would be my first choice.

I'd go for the Z87I-Pro then. It has all the features you need at a much lower price than the Impact. The H87 chipset can't overclock, so it doesn't fit your requirements.
