This motherboard is packed with so many features that I most likely won't be upgrading in the next 5 years. Literally has everything you need. It even includes a 32GB mSATA so you can use for the SSD caching (use a regular HDD and cache it with this). You can use the SSD as a normal drive but I think it is only SATA2. The only issue is the high price and the USB3 box as the wire was too short.
