Which Gigabyte Board?

I am looking at the overclocked bundles and want advice on the motherboard. The bundle I am looking at gives a choice of

GA-Z68AP-D3 or
GA-Z68XP-UD4 for an extra £60

Is it worth paying more fir the motherboard? The cheaper one is able to prove the various inputs and outputs I need.

Any thought, please?

Will you ever crossfire/SLI in the future?

If the cheaper board has all you need, it's a decent one so go for it.

Both have just a HDMI output.

The UD4 is SLI/Crossfire at 8X/8X, features more VRM pahses (16 vs 4) for the CPU, and features a better built PCB and components, more connectivity to (SATA+USB ports)

The AP-D3 doesnt do SLI and is Crossfire only at 16X/4X, if you only want to use a single GFX card then its perfectly suited to that.

Thanks guys, I am not likely to invest in more than one graphics card so the cheaper one will suit me fine.
