Hello!

I'm building a pc mostly for gaming (aiming for 1440p 60Hz at close to/max settings). I will have an i5-6500 with a gtx 980ti/1070 or r9 390x (depending on prices. I'm choosing between the Asus H110M-A and the Gigabyte GA-H170-Gaming 3. Will the H110 have enough features for my purposes or should I get the H170, which is about $25 more expensive. Thank you!

If helpful, I have a 2x4GB memory and a Samsung 850 EVO 250GB storage, to which I might add an extra HDD.

The h110 has enough connectivity for most purposes, but you can only fit 2 memory sticks.
8Gb is enough for now, but sooner or later you will want to go to 16Gb

If you buy the cheap motherboard, then sooner or later you have to replace your memory with a 2x8Gb kit
If you spend more on motherboard, you can just buy another IDENTICAL 2x4Gb kit
