Help Choosing between 2

No gaming is done on the computer at this time but it does have gaming parts in it. Pentium 4600. Not sure if price matters but I added it.

GIGABYTE GA-Z270P-D3 (rev. 1.0) for 69.89
Gigabyte GA-Gaming B8 Intel B250 for 95.39

I assume you meant to say G4600.
And it will work on either board.
But unless you plan on upgrading to a K series core i5 or i7 for overclocking, then there's no point in getting the z270.
Also, the b250 should not cost you that much.
Here's a better choice for your money

Otherwise that Z270 you listed is the cheapest option for Z series and it's an OK one.

Yes you are correct about the processor. I have no plans to upgrade it. The prices are after tax/shipping.

I’m fine with a ASrock but I should have mentioned I want a ATX, I do not like the micro atx size. With that size requirement and no MSI would you change the recondmenation?

If money means less to you than the physical size of the board and aesthetics then just get whatever you like. Since you're not dealing with overclocking or anything high end the motherboard you get makes no difference whatsoever.

Would you pick the ASRock over this?
