I want to build a new computer, what is the difference between chipsets? (H170, Z170, etc.)? If I am a casual scrub who won't do any overclocking, will it matter at all?

I want a mini-ITX build since I am running out of space on my desk. Will an H170 or even an H110 be enough for a high end CPU (with no overclocking), a high end GPU (like a 1070), 32GB of DDR4 (two 16GB sticks), and a couple sata SSDs?

I know Z170 will allow for overlocking and what not, but I don't know anything else, like maybe cheaper chipsets will make high end parts run worse, I literally have no fucking clue.

Also anyone know if the Corsair 250D can fit both a 120mm CPU all in one cooler AND a 120mm GPU all in one cooler (like the one on EVGA cards) at the same time? I know there is enough space there for one 240mm radiator, but I don't know if two 120mm radiators would take up extra space with the extra hardware/tubes and shit.

Thanks

the price difference between h chipsets and z chipsets is pretty small. just get a z

I own both Asus H81 and Z97 micro atx motherboards. Difference is more RAM slots on my Z97M-PLUS motherboard. I recall two DDR3 slots on the H81 I think and then four slots for DDR3 for Z97.

Maybe it's the same for H170 and Z170 mobos.

This, when it all comes down to a small increase in cost you get better components and features.

Although, M.2 heating up inder your mobo and useless USB 3.1 C are a waste of money.
