For CPU I have settled on Intel i7 6700 or maybe 7700. The problems is
the motherboard because I insist on a USB 3.1 Gen. 2 port on the front
of the case, and that means an adapter like the following:

Unfortunately, that adapter requires a SATA Express connector, and I
can't find any motherboards with a SATA Express connector - lots of
regular SATA3 connectors, but no SATA Express connectors.

Shopping is a PITA. Any suggestions welcome!
