The B85m dgs and B85m G43 are both at same price? B85M g43 is a better choice.
For ssd, can top up another $139 for Plextor M5S 128gb from convergent online webstore. Comes with 3 yrs warranty.
SSD not only boost boot-up speeds, but also your user experience.

Ahh...ok. Tell him add later on.
In what way does it boost user experience? I know the SSD would make loading faster...other than that?
It feels smoother, things load up faster such as firing up applications, etc. If you are used to using HDD for years and you try using on ssd, you can tell the difference.
Win8 has a learning curve, so if can overcome it, shouldnt be a problem... If unsure, just stick to wins7. It will take years before wins7 become EOL.
