Hello.

So currently I've been planning on buying components for a new PC and I feel like I'm almost done. Currently I've chosen the following components:

Case: Fractal Design Define R4
CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4Hz
GPU: MSI Geforce GTX 770 2GB Twin Frozr
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4) DDR3-1600
SSD: Samsung 128GB 840 Pro (SATA 2.5)
HDD: Samsung WD Blue 1TB 7200RPM (SATA 3.5)
Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
PSU: XFX 550W 80+ Bronze Certified
Optical Drive: Asus DVD-RW

Using Win 7 64-bit OS

I'm mainly trying to decide between motherboard options that are the following:

MSI Z87-G45 Gaming
Gigabyte G1. Sniper Z-87
Gigabyte Z87X-D3H

All of these are in the same price range and I'm having a bit difficulties deciding between them. Because I'm not planning to buy an audio card, good audio quality is needed (Sniper I guess will offer the best one according to few reviews). Overall Sniper looks pretty solid and has everything I should need, but I'd like to hear few opinions.

Also opinions on the general build is appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

I'll probably decide fairly soon if I want to wait or just going with Z87. Though if I decide to go with the Z87 could still use some help picking the motherboard (from the list or some better idea) like mentioned in the post ;)
