MSI P55A-GD55

[Radical54]

Has anyone used or using MSI P55A-GD55?
I think it is an upgrade to the MSI P55-GD55.

I can't seem to find any review on this product.
It has very good specification for it's price. I think this card gives the most bang for the buck, at least specification wise.

If you are using MSI P55A-GD55, please state your opinion on it here.

Additionally, I would appreciate any other motherboard recommendation as well.

My requirements:
Core i5 760
USB 3.0
2 x pci-e 16x (preferably but not a must, for crossfire 6850)

Budget: less than 160 USD

Thank you!

Hi Radical54 and welcome to Tom's forum.

MSI is a good manufacturer and have very good mobos. This mobo fit in your budget and is very good: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131405&cm_re=P7P55-_-13-131-405-_-Product

Thanks saint19. The card you recommended has some neat features, but it lacks USB 3.0.
The card I was thinking about is this:

But there doesn't seem to be any reviews for this card.

Ohh, yeah I forgot the USB 3.0 requirement.

I know that your budget is $160 max, if u can get a little more and go with this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131621&cm_re=p7p55-_-13-131-621-_-Product that is a much better mobo.
