You've been reading some bullshit. The only difference between B, H and Z boards is the amout of CPU phases (the little heatsinks next to the socket), Sata Ports (usually 6 on B-Boards, 8 on H and 8+ on Z) and USB 3 ports (B-Boards usually have 1-2 Usb 2.0 slots while H and Z are 3.0 only). These are the only things that matter in board choice (Avoid H110 on any cost they are crap since the value/$ is terrible). Other than that, everything else is up to the manufacturer like spamming up to 20 Sata ports (AsRock likes to do this with their extreme 6/7/8 series), up to 10 fan headers or metal plates for the PCIe slots (MSI/Gigabyte) or just giving you many useless extentions like a digital front i/o.
To break it down :
Z170 = made for overclocking and many many extentions
H170 = the same as Z170 but without overclocking
B150 = Covers all the needs for gaming, 1-2 less slots but shouldn't really affect you
H110 = Crap, this is something you would advice your grandma to use (usually only 2 RAMslots, 4Sata ports, one PCIe slot and thats it), you cram these into office computers
As you can see in my sig, I use a H87 board. A B85 would've been enough too, but i needed these 2 PCI slots on it to run my soundcard for amplifying my 2.1 sound system and the PCI wifi adapter (much stronger than usb wifi adapters). I don't use any dvd drives and only 2HDD's, there are 4 sata ports left to fill and the case provides enough usb slots to plug in an external HDD, my phone, mouse/keyboard, and a ps2 controller, while I still got 4 free ports. The B150 is really all you need
