im building a computer this christmas with a i5 6500 and a gtx 1060 or rx 480 (havent decided yet) and to keep the cost down im panning on going with the h110m msi gaming mb. do i need a h170 mb or can i stick with the mb im planning on using now. Also im using two 8gb ram sticks at 2133mhz and a 1tb hard drive with a 240gb bx200 ssd. Aswell i live in the uk so the mb options are really limited for some reasons for h170

The h110 will do just fine for non overclockable PC, the difference's are in features, most of which are not needed by most people, for example you probably won't need M.2 slots and USB 3.1, or second PCIe slot, so what remains is just lower audio quality which is still good enough and high quality even on the h110 motherboards. BTW you should pay a little more and get a Crucial MX300 275GB hard drive, it is much faster with better response times.
