H170 is more consumer oriented. Have you considered Z170 and 6500 for same price? That gives you the possibility to upgrade to K chips later and overclock non-k if you want.

"Compared to Intel’s first 6th-generation chipset, the Z170, H170 and B150 have fewer PCIe and HSIO lanes available, at 16/22x and 8/14x, respectively. They both also lose the ability to overclock CPUs and RAM, and the B150 can’t run drives in RAID either.

The H170 also has six SATA 6Gbps ports, vs four on B150. USB 3.0 support is also different, with the B150 having 10 possible ports, vs 14 on H170."

i don`t want raid, or extra sata ports, i will use a single ssd and a single hdd.
