Which i5 Mobo?

[john10001]

I'm looking at getting some core bunled components to start my new i5 system build.

The only difference between the two bundles is the motherboard. I am just wondering which motherboard out of the two below you would say was better or that you would prefer and why?

Asus P7P55D-E Intel P55 (Socket 1156) DDR3 Motherboard

Gigabyte P55-USB3 Intel P55 (Socket 1156) DDR3 Motherboard

Cheers,

John

They are about the same... hard to choose really.

Like Linkin said theyre basicly the same,Personally id go with the Gigabyte.

The two are really similar, you could save money with the Gigabyte or squeeze a little more performance out with the Asus... if you desire more choices, here:

They are virtually the same and are both from good motherboard makers. Pick on cost or colour scheme

The Asus P7P55D-E produces some good sound when I'm playing music in iTunes. That board provides a lot of features at a reasonable price tag. One of the downsides to it is that it produces an annoying high-pitched sound unless one of the power save features is turned off in BIOS.
