Changing the motherboard would cost you another $30 and benefit you 0%. Z170 motherboards are meant for overclocking processors and other minor things which you won't make use of. Stick with the H110 motherboard. Even though it is micro-ATX, it'll fit in an ATX case. If you want, you can even get a smaller micro-ATX case.
