Does motherboard matter?

[KristjanR]

So I was thinking if I buy an i5 6400 for gaming, streaming and video editing and I put it with an h110m s2h will I get less performance than with z170. Or the performance will be the same but with less features? And I will put an corsair h80 I think.

Z means you can oc. Unless you plan to upgrade to a k chip, I wouldn't. For a basic build, you really needn't worry, unless you want expandibility- then you may want M.2 or other features.

ya answered you're own question  

 

You will be fine on a h110 board 

 

 

Also I do not recommend 120mm water coolers, so please don't get the h80 if you already didn't there much better for the price

And could you recommend a good mobo, won't be upgrading for some time, but a little expandibility would be nice.

Does size matter? What kind of expandibilty features you looking for?

Mobo knowledge isn't too good- http://pcpartpicker.com/product/Hxs8TW/asus-motherboard-b150progamingaura maybe?

A more expensive motherboard in some instances will also last longer as they are usually made with better components. but not always

The difference isn't performance. The difference is in features and quality.

But GA-H110M-S2H would be okay for 2 years?

And can I connect all cables from nzxt n450 to GA-H110M-S2H?
