Intel DP55WB - 5.7k
Asus P7P55D Pro - 10k
MSI P55 CD 53- 7.1k
Gigabyte GA P55MUD2 - 6.9k


OP is a joker . I think he got these rates in his dreams

Your choices are in bold and black

Gigabyte GA P55M UD2 is unavailable throughout India

So choice is Intel vs MSI

I took MSI P55 CD 53

@Suyash:
Before jumping the gun. What exactly are you going to do with your system. If you WILL NOT overclock, then the basic Intel Board is good for you. Else go for the MSI.

Asus P7P55D Pro is a good OverClocking Mobo. Don't go for intel mobos, they are poor overclockers

I will not overclock. but what about the connectivity, in intel mobo there are lots of USB and the pci pcie and other interfaces are very less as compaired to MSi

I heard the msi board are very faulty....

there is less garentee that the board will be reilable over a period of time...

but feature wise it is nice!
What to buy?

Try Intel - DP55KG

*www.intel.com/products/desktop/motherboards/DP55WB/DP55WB-overview.htm

It costs u 11000 but it has hell a lot of slots, and it supports Ubuntu which other boards don't.

In your dreams

Intel DP55KG is definitely not worth the money
