What are you confused about? All three are using the same chipset and in the same form factor.

The only differences are brand, price and RMA location.

AsRock is at Kallang (3 years)
MSI is at Ang Mo Kio (3 years)
Gigabyte is at Commonwealth (3years)

Correct me if I am wrong

Correct. U wanna know the diff, check the following:

1. Price for cpu+mobo
2. Amount of 3 pins and 4 pins
3. Location of 3 pibs and 4 pins
4. Amount n location of internal usb 2.0
5. Amount of rear usb 2.0 and 3.0

For point 2-5, download the manual and look through. Do a visual planning of the components in ur case and see if it matches up or not.

you can also choose a distro that is the closest to your place.
so RMA is easier for you too.
