Hello, can't decide which is better for my new pc (skylake i5 6600, 16gb ram, gigabyte GTX970 4GB G1)

Its for games /no overclock

I read that h and z only difference is overclock, is that correct?

Also what is the difference between h 170 and h 170 pro gaming? (other than marketin)

Since you are planning to game on this PC, I would recommend a z170 motherboard, as the H-series Intel chipsets are not really intended for gaming builds. And about the Asus Pro Gaming mobos, a good part of it is marketing, but they do have some pretty nifty gaming-centric features. I would just recommend buying something that fits your budget; it's not worth paying hundreds of dollars for a motherboard, because it won't make much of a difference when it comes to raw system performance. Heck, my PC can dominate Crysis 3 on max settings, and it has a $70 B-series micro ATX motherboard! (Which was a bad idea in retrospect, but whatever.)
