Brand new build: is it worth it to install Windows 8.1 on UEFI?

[OgiD]

Hello everyone.
Title basically says it all. I'd like to see your opinions on this. Its an all around build, but well suited for gaming (which I do quite often), and I'm not sure which way to go: traditional BIOS or UEFI.

Since I don't see a lot of people talking about UEFI installation of Windows 8.1 around, I got quite doubtful about whether or not it was worth to do it.

So, please, show me your ideas regarding this subject! Thank you.

Up to you. Whether you want to use UEFI or not. Myself only 1 PC here supports UEFI and I use it. I use it because it's there

UEFI is worth it. It allows Windows to control the boot and makes the boot faster. It also supports more features than the traditional BIOS does.
