Based in the UK and need to re house my PC. Price difference is tiny (£5). I currently have a mATX board Gigabyte GA-H81M-DS2V. Size is an important consideration, small uni rooms. I like the ability to move to an ATX z97 board for my i7 4770K in the future though. 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

if the mini C supports atx then you could go for that.

mini C only support mATX. So my question is basically size vs ATX compatibility

ah well the C is just a slimmer S so idk how well that would fit in a dorm (a lot better than the S for sure)
