    any reason I should avoid an H55 motherboard?

    I'm building a budget PC for general use including some gaming. I'm going with the Core i5-750 processor. I'm try to save money wherever possible as long as I'm buying quality parts, and I see that the H55 motherboards are $20-30 cheaper than P55. I'm considering buying the Gigabyte...
