It's a good motherboard, it comes in two revisions (rev. 1.0 and rev. 2.0), it's recommended that you get the latest revision if possible.

What would the CPU used and what are the prices? Generally speaking, the differences in prices between used Nehalem parts and used Sandy Bridge/Ivy Bridge parts tend to be small enough that the latter makes far more sense for making a basic budget build. It's very easy to find used i7-2600k CPUs on ebay for about $20 more than the i7-870.

Well I thinking about buying the CPU later because I haven't buy the motherboard yet

Also why p55 motherboard don't came with onboard graphics?

The motherboard can be used with CPU having iGPU, but the motherboard itself doesn't seem to include a video output.

So this motherboard model is clearly made for those who want a powerful external GPU.

Now i have thinking to buy the Xeon x3430 I think some where $8-$10 (yes it's used) but I don't know is it compatible with the Gigabyte GA-P55-USB3L.
