Hello
I am trying to build a budget pc , and now I have faced a problem with motherboard power phases.
Is lower power phases a huge disadvantage? Should I invest more in my motherboard (I want a cheap h110 - b150 or maybe h170)
I want to use i5 6500 and no overclocking or anything special , just simple gaming and normal tasks.
Can someone recommend a good motherboard (budget) for my build ?
Thanks in advance .

With a 6500 vrm quality really isn't going to be an issue , I'd steer clear of bargain basement MSI & asrock boards primarily , anything cheap by Asus or gigabyte is going to be absolutely fine.
Don't know what your budget or country actually is so hard to recommend an actual model.

Any LGA1151 motherboard should do the job.
Power is of concern only if you will be buying a cpu that you will overclock. Even then, most any Z170 motherboard will do the job.
In your case, There is little value in a motherboard with more than the H110 chipset.
Here is a chart of the differences:

And, consider the i3-6100 for the cpu.
It is generally a stronger gamer than the I5-6600 in this review:
