H110 mobo for gaming

[Hosam-Jensen]

Hi guys
I want to buy H110 mobo since I don't need those extra slots and features on z170 and h170, I'm just worried about the performance since it's a low end mobo....would it effect performance on gtx 1070 and i5 6500?
Thanks.

Nope your fine. All more advanced motherboards do is give you more options and features. Performance wise they're all the same.

Thank u

Your gaming performance is determined by your cpu and your graphics card.
You could put up to a I7-6700K and a titan X in one of those $50 motherboards if you wanted to.
Could not overclock the "K", but who cares?

Lol

LOL indeed.
Have you considered the $125 I3-6100?
It competes well with I5-6600 in this review:

As I know that chipset is the brain of the mobo that's why I was worried that cheap chipset may slower the connection between cpu and gpu

The chipset is the brain of all 2nd priority components as I like to call it.

The CPU, RAM, and GPU(s) are all connected directly to the CPU itself. The chipset connects everything else to the CPU like USB ports, Ethernet, audio, UEFI, SATA drives, and extra PCIE lanes.

Got it.
Thanks for explaining

Here is a link to the feature differences between H110 and other lga1151 chipsets.
Not much difference except for cpu overclocking with the z170 chipset.
