Great board for the price. Anyone looking for a good board that doesn't break the bank. This may be a good one.

Prior to Ivy Bridge, MSI released their Z77A-GD65 motherboard and we had nothing but great things to say about the GD65. It performed as good as any product we tested and hit 5.2GHz on our Sandy Bridge 2600K. The motherboard boasted enthusiast features at lower price tier so we saw a phenomenal bang for the buck but since Ivy Bridge had not hit our lab at that point, we did not have the opportunity to see the beast unleashed.

I vouch! I have the Z77A-GD65. I believe the only difference between the 55 and 65 is 2 vs 3 pcie 3.0. I would also have to say the bios is amazing. By far my favourite out of the ASUS, ROG, ASRock and MSI UEFI's.
