Judging by your components, you are probably on a budget. Get a H310 Chipset Motherboard with all the features you need. It should work good with those components.
The B360 and H310 chipsets are two possible choices.
H310 will only support one DIMM per memory channel (for two DIMMs in total) from such a CPU. It won't support Intel's Optane Memory modules for hard-drive caching. It'll only offer 14 high-speed I/O lanes from the chipset. It can only be tapped for 10 USB ports, of which just four can be USB 3.0 ports.
H310 also drops USB 3.1 Gen 2 support entirely. It can only provide four SATA ports, and it can only offer six PCIe 3.0 lanes from the chipset. With these limitations, it's likely that H310 motherboards will power only the most basic of systems and serve as the bargain-basement offering.

The B250 wont work. The Z370 will be overkill and the B360 will be just fine. But if you can get the Z370 for the same price as the B360, then it is well worth it. Gives you the possibility to upgrade to an unlocked processor and overclock it
