Shocked at the price jump from F to E, but for future proofing went with 
the E. My thought is the mobo is the hardest thing to upgrade later with 
out starting over from scratch. No current need for USB type C and could 
get the WiFi way cheaper with an adapter. Done deal and already here. 

One item on my shopping list you will likely not have on yours is a drive 
bay usb hub. Possibly one with card readers built in. Case I'm reusing 
has no front ports:-( Otherwise a very nice case as far as accessibility. 
Not a 'looker' but lives hidden behind a door in my desk.

And thank you for starting this thread!
