I have decided to build a desktop PC using Asus H61M-CS - H61 Express Chipset LGA1155 Socket MotherBoard with Intel Pentium Dual Core G2020 2.9GHz CPU. The selection was based on low price. Being not an expert in this field, I am a little confused whether the said CPU will be supported on the Mobo or not. Is there any other better combination within this price range. The purpose will be only for day to day uses. Gaming is not mandatory. Only the requirement is, it should be within the price limit.

Moreover, let me know whether the mobo comes with inbuilt graphics or should I go for additional graphics card. And please also suggest the RAM.

Please do advice. Thanks

 
It should work fine, but know that the CPU doesn't have Integrated Graphics. The means that if you weren't planning on putting a GPU for gaming in it, you should go get something like a AMD 6450 or GTX 710 just so you can have graphics.
 


Thanks. But as I have told, price is the main constrain. so please advice me a mobo with integrated graphics or anything else which suits my day to day computer works. The Desktop will not be used for gaming. Hence, I think you can omit the specification requirements for gaming.

Thanks once again
