Z270 would be my choice too, but double check specs of particular motherboard before you buy and make sure all pci/m2 slots can be used simultaneously, not all motherboards can do that.  I would also consider a riser free motherboard like Rebtech to eliminate the need for those pesky risers, gives you some room for further expansion as well.

go with g4400 with gigabyte fintech b250 should be easy run 5gpu upto 12, and your list to expensive for mining and some problem will happen after 5+ gpus, better buy dedicated board

Be sure to read the reviews of the miners about Msi z270 1151. I remember that these motherboards had problems if more than 4 video cards were installed. Perhaps the problem has already been resolved through a BIOS update.
Ryzen 5 1600 is a very cool processor to use in a mining farm. I would go for a cheaper version.
