questions about the H110 LGA 1551 motherboard

[Jeffrey_7]

I'm building a new PC.

Sky lake i3 6100 and I'll upgrade to Kaby lake when the 10 nm line comes out after Kaby lake.

I'm looking at the H110 motherboard because it's cheapest, but will the hardware have lower performance compared to an h170, or even a B150? (Given the same amount of RAM, same GPU and CPU?)

I'm not looking to OC, and 2x8gb is more than enough RAM for gaming.

I generally recommend B150 as the best performance on a budget, and for a i3 it'll be plenty for your purposes. You said you don't want to overclock, so the locked memory controller won't be a problem for you.

Okay, but what about the h110 board? Can anyone give an answer without recommending a different board? Does the h110 mobo affect performance compared to more expensive mobos?

Things such as M.2 storage (none for H110) and number of 6Gb/s SATA ports (H110 has 4) are things that may interest you.

Okay so besides the extra features, given the same RAM, CPU and GPU, I would not see any reduced performance between an H110, H170, and z170?

I remember M.2 storage can support H110, just speed different Z170/H170/B/150.
H110 only Gen2X4(20Gb/s).
