Real-time pricing for MSI BIG BANG XPOWER.

Amazon: $269.99

Conclusions

Even though EVGA P55 LE is the simplest from the six P55 motherboards offered today by EVGA it is far from being an inexpensive product. Costing USD 169.99, there are surely cheaper products around like ECS P55H-A that costs USD 135.00.

Compared to this cheaper model from ECS, P55 LE brings as advantages having RAID support, a professional-grade on-board audio, two FireWire ports and holes that allows you to use socket 775 CPU coolers with your socket 1156 processor. ECS P55H-A, on the other hand, brings as advantages having one ATA-133 port, which may still be useful for some, one eSATA port, only solid capacitors and price.

If you are building a mainstream Core i5-based system and won’t work converting analog audio to digital format (e.g., VHS tapes to DVD, LPs to CDs or MP3s, etc) then ECS P55H-A is a better suited option. But if you do – or if you are an audio freak –, than EVGA P55 LE is definitely the motherboard for you.

Of course if you want more options– especially SLI support – you will have to buy a different (and more expensive) product.
