My uncle asked me to build a desktop for him, he has is own exporting business, so the pc should be business oriented, so i decided to use B150 motherboard, but i am bit confused between Asus and Gigabyte, which one will be good in terms of quality

I saw the Linus Video about V.R.M on motherboard and how they effect the system, also is it ok to use DDR3 board or i should go with DDR4 as intel earlier warns that using DDR3 on Skylake Chipset will adversely affect system

Gigabyte usually bundles in Wifi!

Judge a product on its own merits AND the company that made it.

First off: With the B150 Chipset, only DDR3 compatibility is maintained and is not used with skylake. Don't worry, DDR3 is still relevant today.

With Asus, you pretty much can't go wrong.

Nope, B150 boards are socket LGA 1151 aka Skylake
