Figure out what I/O you need, like how many USB ports, if you care about having 3 port or 6 port audio in the back, how many drive ports you need, etc. Narrow it down from there and if you still have multiple choices, it likely doesn't matter. I haven't really seen a difference in any of the manufacturers you've picked.

I have a blog! And a list of guides I've posted

I'm also putting this in a Masterbox lite 5 so a bigger motherboard will look better and the atx cost the same as the m-ATX...

what about this? it has 6 sata ports and M.2 slot
