Think about it. How long have you had your current cpu? 6 years or so? So in another 6 years expect to be exactly where you are now. If you moved up to a mediocre cpu like the 2600, you'd been be upgrading again far sooner. Extra few $ gets you to extra few years.
I had up until a few days ago 2 personal pc's. A i5-3570k and a i7-3770k. 6 years ago everyone, and I mean everyone, said I was a fool, ALL I needed was a quad core, at $100 less than the i7. I just sold the i5-3570k pc for $180 because it'd no longer do what I wanted it to do. The $100 more expensive i7-3770K is still jammin away.
There's something to be said sometimes for going a little overboard.
I like my little card reader, cost me $14 but has plenty of usb3 ports, it's tucked away when I don't need it, don't have an external (anymore) cluttering up desk/drawer space and doesn't get as filled with dust like the top ports do. Opening the door is easy enough to do, it's a barely held magnet, and is reversible so will open either way I need it to. Been totally happy with my R5, zero things to complain about. With 3x 140mm fans, even airflow is plenty adequate.
I have cats, well my wife does, so a heavy case is a serious bonus, they jump on the desk and it doesn't move, period.
