Please look at this from the perspective of NOT upgrading for several years and this being your only/primary station.
Gigabyte H81M HD3 vs DS2V

Where I am purchasing the HD3 is exactly $10 more expensive.
Some things I notice right away are the much larger number of USB 3.0 on the HD3, dualbios support (not sure what this is), and the 4kHD support.
The USB ports seems like a huge convenience factor alone -- I mean it's $10 difference and there could be a time over the next few years that I want to use more than two 3.0 ports.
I'm also curious about the 4kHD support. Will most graphic cards support this, thus nullifying the benefit of having a mobo with the option? Or is it necessary to have the capability per the mobo? Right now my Tv/Monitor is very small and it would be useless I think, but again in 3 or 4 years...who knows.
TL
R The cost difference is only $10 and I won't be upgrading for over several years. Are there enough options/differences that I would be shooting myself in the foot now and regretting it later not to get the HD3 over the DS2V?
