mobo with more features namely SATA Express and M.2
cheaper 8GB RAM kit
twice as large SSD for the same price. The 840 EVO isn't worth a $30 price premium over other 120GB SSDs
upgraded GPU
nicer/cheaper case, basically the same as the 210 Elite but with a front mesh grille for better airflow
higher efficiency PSU, slightly lower wattage but enough for this build
cheaper optical drive
