There are good B360 boards which may be cheaper then the Z370/H370 versions.

I'm looking for best enough gaming motherboard ,,, B Version doesn't have much features

On the H370 chipset - ASRock - H370 Pro4 - at 70$ this would be the cheapest with all the features you might need.

You can go on the B360 chipset with the MSI - B360-A PRO for the same price... but sincerly the H370 board would be the better option.

What features are you looking for? Audio and stuff like that is pretty much the same across most boards, the main differences are overclocking & SLI on the Z370, some H370 boards support CF, B360 & H310 are basic but some have M.2 support.

Soooo that's mean the Z370 not needed for these CPUs ???
It will between H370 or B360 !!

It's not needed because you cant overclock either the i5 8400 or the i5 8500. The motherboards with a Z370 chipset have a beefier power delivery and better VRM cooling, which is needed when overclocking the k-series CPUs (unlocked multiplier).

For the price (not including rebates) I like this Gigabyte.
