Typically, motherboard manufacturers put out a variety of boards at different prices. However they're still based on the same chipset. The biggest difference seems to be the number and the speed of the PCI-E slots as well as the number and size of the heatsinks (you can determine the price of a mobo just by looking at how many heatsinks it has).
If you're only going to run one video card, and you're not obsessed with filling your case with as many pieces of metal with fins on them as possible, is there any reason to buy e.g. the Asus RoG, ASRock Fatal1ty etc. rather than a "standard" motherboard at half the price? Options for overclocking and changing the voltages seem to be available in all except the absolute low-end products.
