Does motherboard chipset type matter for mining?

After buying a 570 and a 1060 card to try mining I am ready to build a dedicated rig and just ordered two 1070's. Most of the build videos I have watched always seem to use newer motherboards (Prime 270's, 1151 CPUs...). Since I have a G3258 and 2 4Gb sticks of Corsair ram just collecting dust I though I would just pick up an older 1150 motherboard and use that. Is there any reason NOT to use an older motherboard? I don't plan on adding more than five (or possibly six depending on which model I can find) GPU's.

When you start adding many cards, the chipset (in combination with the CPU) can become a limitation to the number of PCIe lanes you can have. However, you would usually run into problems with the driver/OS prior to this becoming a problem.

I think as long as the number of PCIE lanes is guarranteed, the speed should be fine.

Not really, i think the great h81 pro btc was built on 1150 but i'm not sure, anyway, as long as your PCIE lanes exist, you're most likely not going to face any trouble

The ASRock H81 pro BTC R2 is $200 CAD from NewEgg but they have a GIGABYTE GA-H110-D3A for $105 so I will just buy that and pick up a cheap 1151 CPU.
