Also even cheaper motherboards can game, they just have cheaper Chokes, VRM'S and MOSFET'S but won't impact gaming.

Would an "H" motherboard be better? I don't I always see people recomend an H or Z(for overclocking) motherboards.

According to

B is consider business class whatever that means I assuming it is more for a work desktop?

From "worst" to best in terms of features etc (in my opinion)

Skylake: H110 < B150 < H170 < Z170

Haswell: H81 < B85 < H87/H97 < Z87/Z97

H81 and H110 doesn't offer as much compared to the higher end chipsets.

Here is a comparison between the chipsets.

I would say B150 sits between H110 and H170 in terms of features etc.
