Motherboard advice

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone has any good suggestion for a motherboard brand for a H370. There aren't many reviews for any of them and i want to use an I5-8400 in it. Looking for something around £100. Don't mind about the size.

Thanks

I'm most probably gonna get a Gtx 1060 3GB or 6GB. As for the case I like the

Cooler Master - MasterBox Lite 3.1, (m-atx)

but might change it if i have to get an atx board

You also have the H310M A, a micro-atx board, for £55, but it doesn't come with wifi

Why H370? What features does it have that B360 or H310 doesn't have? Often they even cost the same as Z series boards

Generally have better support with faster memory but might be wrong. I'm also not that experienced with mboards

H370 is locked, just like the other chipsets, so the memory tops out at 2666MHz. For anything above that, there's only the Z series chipset. 

For low end boards, though, just make sure they have 4 RAM slots, an M.2 slot and some heatsink over the VRM. Other than that, look for features that matter to you. That can be RGB, extra PCI/PCIe lanes or I/O. If an equivalent Z370 board costs pretty much the same as one with a locked chipset, try to get the Z370 board.
