Hey guys, had some trouble with old computer and in shopes here there is some trouble with getting older LGA 1151 motherboards. I saw that Z170, H110 were mogos when CPU came out and the next generation TB250, Z270, H270 also supports the CPU are they a better buy and have better support? Will try to find something available, but again just have DDR 4 2166 RAM on it, it does need to support m.2 slot and would be cool to be upgreadable to 64GB of RAM, need 4 slots for RAM.

What chpset should I aim for if it is not for gaming. I figured that Z is for gaming usually and then H and B are a bit worse? but probably good enough

Z boards are for overclocking, without OC any other MB would be good enough. Z boards are usually better...

Z boards are for overclocking, without OC any other MB would be good enough. Z boards are usually better equipped with more options.
