Go for the B250 boards and pick the one with the features that best suit your needs.

You'll need to update the 1xx series boards BIOS first or hope they have the latest BIOS which isn't worth it.

One of the B250 motherboards. Be aware that you've listed both mATX and ATX motherboards so pick the one that suits your case best.

 

But why not get a R5 1500X instead, like you were asking earlier?

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

There shouldn't be. The main difference are the features on each board and the form factor.

No difference in performance. I guess at this point look at reviews and choose the best.

 

On a different note, what's the budget for your build? You might get better value/performance with Ryzen 1500X or something similar.

so which one offers more features or better features?

Look at both and compare them. Does one have features you particularly like? If so, go for that one.

 

It also depends on the rest of your build. If your case is an ATX one, then going for an ATX motherboard makes more sense.

 

Asking again; why not the R5 1500X instead?

Didn't you say earlier that the R5 1500X was $211 and the i5-7500 was $202? It's not a significant difference...
