Between those two, the Pro would leave room for future expansion. I however disagree with Asus. Terrible support.

Go with this Asrock Extreme4 P67

Wait for the Vertex 3 SSDs or just the SF-2xxx SSDs. In general I think spending 200$ on a 120gb SSD is unnecessary when a 60gb is sufficient to boot with a few games
