Like really, if I buy a motherboard worth $70 more (MSIs new board) will it really help that much or just go for the oldies?

Then why waste the money?

so it lasts longer, less reason to upgrade later

If will take another 1-3 years till we see usb 3.1 on something like phones... Id say its not worth it, if youll need it, you can buy somekinda expansion card later
