Hello guys
My current PC config
Mobo: biostar a55ml2 fm2
PSU: corsair 450w
Ram: 4*2
Processor: Amd a4 5300
GPU: Asus gtx 750ti 2gb ddr5

Now the problem is I am not able to play FIFA 15 its lagging badly due to processor....I am thinking of fx 6300 but I read it has some heat problems...guys please suggest me processor and mobo budget around 15000 Indian rs...give me some options...thanks in advance
 
Only thing about FX-6300 is that it's stock cooler isn't that good, if you OC it that could hinder you from achieving a higher stable OC (same goes for pretty much any CPU with stock cooler).

No idea how prices are in India so can't really help you choosing a exact CPU+ mobo combo, but I'd suggest to switch to Intel platform with at least a i3-4430 CPU, it will give you near same performance as a FX-8350 would, but with a nice upgrade path when a better CPU is needed.

For that price I would go with the i5-4430, as the game specs recommend a quad core.

and ASRock B85 Pro4

If you want to try an AMD processor, the recommended one for that game is the fx-6350. You could easily get that, a fx 8320 or fx 8350 and a decent motherboard in your price range, but heat management does become more of an issue with those. Also, I wouldn't want to overclock too much on a power supply that size.

But Asus M5A99FX is a solid choice for any of those AMD processors.

If you used the Hyper 212 EVO or something with equivalent/better airflow then you'd be fine. You can use the stock coolers and not overheat, but when the fan gets up to speed it sounds like a jet engine taking off, so I'd recommend an aftermarket cooler.

Mobo m5a99 fx pro itself cost 12000rs in India then fx 6300 cost 7500rs and cooler costs 2300rs so in all...21800rs which is over budget...now talking about i5 it cost 11500 rs and mobo here specified not available...so still I am in dilemma what to do?....

Looks good, with that setup your graphics card will slow you down before your CPU ever does! If you do eventually upgrade your graphics, definitely look at a bigger power supply. I wouldn't worry about a cooler for that CPU, the stock one should work just fine. If you're still worried about heat you may want to check in the BIOS and make sure the fan can operate at it's max speed for optimal cooling, but it shouldn't heat up too much.

You selected the i5 4440s version in pcpartpicker, which is a lower performance option. If you select the i5 4440 version there is no error message. Honestly I don't know why that error is there anyway, both should ship with a cooler when bought new, as far as I can tell.
