the intel retail boxed ssd's come with a 3.5 bay adaptor so you wouldn't need one of those if you decided to get an ssd.

There is the non-USB3 version of the motherboard for £108:

I think £11.00 is cheap enough for USB 3.0 support without having to buy a separate card in the future.

Going to ponder the AMD/Intel decision for a few more days - maybe see what ocuk come up with on Weds.

Then the final decision whether i can be bothered to build and overclock myself or buy o/c package.

I have to draw the line somewhere though - another £40 buys me the Crosshair IV ....

... and that leads back to the original proposal - the Ultima Raptor
