I'm rebuilding my gaming pc atm, aiming at following setup:

  • Intel Core i5-6600/6500
    16Gb DDR4-2133 RAM
    Palit GTX 1070 Jetstream
I'm not going to do any overclocking at all, so which chipset will suffice for playing at 1080p/60fps @ max settings?
Will H110 be enough for my needs or it will be better to pick H170?
Also, will getting mATX version of any hurt the performance? I use 1 ssd in front panel slot, 1 hdd and 1 disk drive, so I'm ok with 4 SATA slots.
EDIT: for now I stopped at current build:

  • Intel core i5-6600 (who needs i7-6700 if you and rurbo boost?)
    Kingston VALUERAM 8gb×2 @2133mhz(heatsinks are useless if I don't overclock)
    ASUS H110M-PLUS (please tell me it supports turbo boost)
    Palit GTX 1060 Jetstream (later on, base is more important)

Hello... 1) You will have one PCIe3.0 x16 GPU slot with all the MB's...

2) Typically you could have more RAM/SATA slots and more Plugin slots x1's x4's pcie and/or Older PCI slots for cards with a ATX size board... but performance differences will not be a factor... Just more places to Plugin so to say.

3) the Turbo boost is built into the CPU and will work with all the different MB's.
Hello... This chart helps me understand the different models, features, and connections available with each... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGA_1151

You need to look at at the Makers of each MB model too... look at the connections, Audio, LAN, SATA chips used on these low cost boards too... theses can add performance and value to the H110 chipset... if 16gb is your max plan here... then it will be fine for your needs... And as started above, you could save $$ by using a non "K" model CPU too. B /
 
My budget is 480ish $
(30000 RUB to be more precise)
My main concern is pci-e 3.0 on h110/m and performance difference between mATX and ATX mobos.
Also interested in aviability of cpu turbo boost on h110 chipset.
