Motherboard question

[fevereddeath]

I am struggling between the the asus z170a, asus z170 pro-gaming, and the msi m7. A price difference doesn't matter to me. Which one of these would be the best, in terms of latency, fps, and overall performance? My pc build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/97XZ9W
