mITX Board Choice

So I've narrowed down my mITX motherboard candidate list down to 4, and figured I'd have the forum weigh in.

 

Why these 4? I need on board WiFi, I refuse to use Killer LAN, and I want heatsinks on the VRM. That left these 4 boards.

Titan: Intel Core i7-5820K | ASUS X99-A | Crucial Ballistix Sport 4x4GB DDR4-2400 | ASUS Strix GeForce GTX 970 | OCZ Arc 100 2x256GB in RAID 0 | Seagate Barracuda 2x2TB in RAID 1


EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2 | Fractal Design Define R5 Titanium Window | Phanteks PH-TC14PE | ASUS BW-12B1ST

Z97I Plus for being the best price/performance board. Personally I think EVGA videocards are okay but I wouldn't want to buy a motherboard from them. ASRock are also... okay these days, but for a nice all-round build in such a small form factor I'd be much more comfortable with Asus, despite the golden colour scheme.

What kind of colour scheme are you look for anyway? What about the MSI Z97I Gaming AC?

I dislike Killer LAN. And their CPU socket placement causes me problems...
