While the P55 sports itself as the budget minded upgrade, I would state that performance, at least with the MSI P55-GD80, is still very much there. Add to that a very full offering and your budget solution doesn't feel, well, budget like. While the MS...
MSI P55-GD80 is an outstanding high-end motherboard for the socket 1156 platform, with tons of advanced features: three x16 PCI Express slots (although the third one works at x4 and the first two work at x8 when more than one video card is installed), ...
