B350M is for AMD Ryzen processors. Not Intel.

I believe your usage is very basic, so get the cheapest one among the other 3 will do. The difference is minor among them, stuff like amount of sata ports, PCIE lanes/slots, etc.

Also what case are you using? Those with the Prefix M at the end of the name (B250M/H270M) indicate its a Micro ATX board while the H270 is a standard ATX board. So, see which one fit your case.

The comparison only show general not specific details. Open the products URL and compare side to side

Prefix
B - basic
H - basic + raid
Z - overclock
M - matx
I - itx

If you are not going to overclock your CPU or RAM a H board will do. I think the base ram speed for a Intel 7*** is 2400 mhz.

do you mind matx boards in atx cases? haha, cause some may find it weird as there's an empty space from the end of mobo to the psu.

only applies if you're getting cases that shows the profile of side though. like corsair 400c, nzxt s340

Yes it's an ATX tower. You can use the H270. Just get that :) and ya, matx board can fit atx cases. Since you're gonna change your casing soon, decide matx or atx based on what case you're planning to buy
