Hey,
Just need help deciding on which motherboard to go with between these 2

MOBO 1:
https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/B250M-BAZOOKA.html

MOBO 2:
https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-H110M-S2HP-rev-10#ov

Using it on a budget pc because recently my old cpu and motherboard blew.

Current specs
MOBO: Dead
CPU: Dead
PSU: EVGA 500w 80+
RAM: 12gb DDR3 (will sell it and buy 8gb DDR4 Stick when i get a new board and cpu)
GPU: GTX 1060 3gb

Also. It seems the MSI board only has 3 system fan ports, while my case has 4 fans which i plan on upgrading to 6 fans. If anyone can confirm how many fan slots there are on both board, they will receive eternal love from me.

Thanks

Your willingness to spend money on more fans & a fan hub makes no sense at all when you've already said your budget is tight.

Besides 4 case fans is already overkill for your components & your case only takes 5 fans anyway max.

The msi b250 is the better of those boards , the h110 wont likely accept a g4560 without a bios update & us a risky purchase.

2 splitters will let you run your current 4 case fans (2 plugged to each board header)

Gigabyte board
20150917140243_src.png

has 2 fan headers in total.

MSI board

has 2 fan headers in total as well

You might want to get a 5 way PWM fan splitter and have it hooked up to the CPU_FAN header so all the fans ramp up and die down with CPU temps.

What case do you have, and what processor do you want to drop onto the board mind you?

I use this HUB when installing multiple fans.

And this connects to my CPU fan slot, which only allows me to connect my CPU fan and 3 system fans ?
EDIT: Excuse my ignorance. I see this has 8 extra ports
