I am new to building, and I know a fair bit about most components, but not a lot about mother boards. I was looking for some help deciding between the Z170-A and the Z170-E, I am on a budget so I am leaning toward the Z170-E, is there any reason to avoid the Z170-E, and get the Z170-A instead? The Z170-A puts me at ~880 USD, while the Z170-E puts me at ~852 USD. I've seen a few threads about complications with the Z170-E, while I don't remember seeing any about the Z170-A, would the Z170-A be worth the extra bit of cash spent?

Budget - 850 USD
