Hi guys,

Im looking for my first hackintosh build. I kinda sorted out what it want except for my motherboard.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100006519%2050001314%2040000280%20600093976%20600315497&IsNodeId=1&bop=And&CompareItemList=280|13-128-547^13-128-547-TS,13-128-545^13-128-545-TS&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&AID=10446076&PID=3349309&SID=skim36967X959934X4972cc114b48fd4e45b1eeb43dd8aa8f

The price difference between both of these 2 is quite big.. €80 vs €200
Is it only the extra slot/ connections that make it more expensive or is there something with the motherboard that makes it better in general. I'm looking for a motherboard to use with the set up below. In the future i maybe want to try overclocking( never did it before).
Will the cheaper one suit my needs or am i better off with the more expensive one?
I can spend the cash if i really have to, but i don't want to waste it on specs i wont be using.

pc will be mainly used for music production and a little bit of gaming, definitely not hardcore.
My setup so far:
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K

RAM: 16GB Corsair 1600 mhz
HD: 120gb ssd (1tb hd in the future for files)
psu: corsair 600w
case: carbide 400r
gpu: gtx560ti
optic: Sony Optiarc
 
thanks for the input! but could you maybe explain? I like to know/learn why...
 
1 : cheap

2 : 2 sata 6gb for two ssd's

3 : 3 sata 3gb for storage and DVD

4 : ALC 887 audio

5 : PCI e 3.0 and 2.0 ( in future SLI or cross fire in windows for Ultra Gaming , BTW os x not utilizes )

6 : overclocking ability using 3rd gen k cpu's :D
