So I have a few mobo that i saw around my budget and I am really interested in them. I am just wanting to know which one would perform better out of them, can anyone shed me some like please

 

ASUS P8Z77-M LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard 

 

MSI Computer Corp. Motherboard Micro ATX DDR3 1333 LGA 1150 Motherboards H87M-G43 

 

Gigabyte Z87 LGA 1150 2 Way SLI mATX Motherboard (GA-Z87MX-D3H) 

 

Gigabyte LGA 1150 Intel B85 HDMI SATA 6Gbps USB 3.0 Micro ATX DDR3 1600 Intel Motherboards GA-B85M-D3H

 

MSI Computer Corp. Motherboard Micro ATX DDR3 1333 LGA 1150 Motherboards Z87M-G43

 

I am going to probably OC a little here and there but i do not plan on SLI. I just want to know which one would perform better than the other cause i am also wanting to at least go haswell and go 4th gen on my processor .

 

I am wanting to stay around the black and blue color scheme for the mobo also.

Hey can you tell me what is the difference between B85, H87 and Z87

They are different chipsets, you can't really overclock on any the below Z87 and even if you are not overclocking go with Z87 because overclocking is easy so you should do it

See http://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/Z87-H87-H81-Q87-Q85-B85-What-is-the-difference-473/ for an explanation of the feature differences.

 

If you want to be able to overclock you need to use Z87 for LGA1150 and Z77 for LGA1155.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

Yes, so long as you also don't plan on SLI.

Ok thank you for that information, I do want to OC but i want to find a mobo that has a color scheme of blue/black and that is closer to the $100 range and still can OC being a Micro board

B85 motherboards cannot overclock. Of the motherboards you listed in OP only the following can overclock: Asus Z77, Gigabyte Z87, and MSI Z87.

No and no. The motherboard uses the H87 chipset and is an ATX size. The case can take mATX (micro ATX).

Last question which of these is the better of the 2 

 

ASUS P8Z77-M LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

 

or 

 

MSI Computer Corp. DDR3 1600 Intel LGA 1155 Motherboards (Z77MA-G45)

Neither will do SLI. My personal choice would be the Asus P8Z7-M. Either would be fine.

Mono doesn't affect performance. Haswell does have better quality mobos though.
