I will use one hdd only but plan to buy a ssd later on... And two more sticks of ram

Whats the difference between b85 and h81?

I want to install my OS and some apps on a ssd just to make my freq. used apps and os boot faster. Will that work on a h81,b85 or should I get the h87 for that? I have no plans on caching.

Can I use a 64gb sd to cache and be my primary at the same time?

Simply this:

H87 basically the same as Z87 minus the overclocking abilities, and doesn't support triple SLI
H81 budget level, no overclocking, no sli, limited sata 6gb/s, limited usb 3.0
B85 is a business focused chipset, and it is the budget level with limited options of the other business chipsets.

In my country h81 is around $20 cheaper than a b85. A b85 is around $30 cheaper than A h87. At maximum I would use 1 hdd and 1 ssd so i wouldn't need the extra ports which leaves me to the question of h81 and b85? Will I still be able to have faster boot times if I place my os in my ssd even without intelSRT or other h87 board features?

One more thing, B85 compared to H81 has Intel Clear Video, Intel Small Business features. Is it worth the $20? I would be willing to spend 20 for those features but not the 50 for a H87. Thanks
