Need some help with motherboards...

Hey guys, I've been trying to get a solid build list on parts for ages now and the last thing I'm tinkering with is my motherboard. I was recently set on a Z68 motherboard, but because of price and the fact the I don't like the idea of SSD caching, I'm hunting around some more for a motherboard.

I'm in the US so Newegg or amazon is preferable.

I'm mainly looking for a board that has UEFI/EFI Bios, preferably from ASUS, and supports sandy bridge CPU's (1155 chipset). Also it can't be a Z64 board. I would prefer it not to be mini atx, but I'm kind of lenient on that.

Some boards I'm currently looking at:

ASUS P8P67 (REV 3.0) LGA 1155 Intel P67 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS



ASUS P8P67 PRO (REV 3.1) LGA 1155 Intel P67 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard



Both very similar boards, though I'm currently leaning towards the more expensive one (REV 3.1). I would really appreciate it if you would recommend any other boards or tell me whether the boards I am looking at are any good. Look at my current sig to see my other parts if you have any questions about compatibility.


Thanks, I really appreciate any insight you can give me... :o
 
I can't understand why you don't like SSD caching. What is the reason behind? Is this extra (unuse) function harming you machine?
