b150 vs h170

[Bruno_Tech]

I was thinking of purchasing an MSI gaming pro b150 board. Would it be better to purchase a regular h170 board or a gaming b150. What are the cons of b150?

MERGED QUESTION
Question from Bruno_Tech : "B150 Gaming Pro or H170?"

I was thinking of purchasing an MSI gaming pro b150 board. Would it be better to purchase a regular h170 board or a gaming b150. What are the cons of b150?

I wonder what "gaming" on the B150 really means?
Here is a chart of the chipset differences.

Really there is nothing you should miss.
A better question should be "should I buy a Z170 motherboard to allow for K overclocking"

What are the rest of your parts?
I might assume that your main purpose is gaming?
Only the Z170 motherboards have good dual discrete graphics support.(Which I do not recommend anyway)
Raid of any form would not be important to me.
B150 would be as good generally as H170.

But... you might find better parts like sound on higher end H170motherboards.
