If you will be running SSD as primary boot, and planing to SLI, go with B85 plus, if not, H87

Wait, why is B85 better for primary SSD boot?

"ASUS B85 Plus" has less features than "Asus H87 pro"
see here http://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/Z87-H87-H81-Q87-Q85-B85-What-is-the-difference-473/

Basically if you don't intend to raid 2 hdd, and and have a limited budget you could choose the b85 chipset. But if you have the money, obviously the h87 pro is the better solution.
