Asus P8P67 Pro Motherboard or Asus P8H67-M EVO Motherboard

I'm looking to get a new PC, to be honest i only use the PC for surfing, running office applications, viewing videos/pics etc, no gaming. I have generally been told through the years to buy the best processor you can afford so am going for an Core i7 3.4 unclocked, i have a choice of motherboards and not sure what one to get, the system will come with a seperate Chillblast AMD Radeon HD 5670 512MB Graphics Card. can anyone see any advantages in one tot he other please.

I would definitely go with the P67 board, not the H67.

+Higher Speed RAM
+ 2PCIe 2.0 x16 (1 @16x or 2 @8x)
+2 SATA 6/GBs ports
+1 Powered eSATA Port
+2 USB 3.0 ports.

- Internal Graphics Processor. You don't need once since you have a separate 5670

The system with the p87 is about £100 more and also has a oc i5 2500k processor, the system with the P8H motherboard has a i7 2600k wi no oc and i don't intend to oc, why do you rate the P over the H?

I listed all the differences between the 2... Everything I wrote the P has and H does not.
