Motherboard for Intel Core i5 4670

[dcosmopolitan]

Hi,

I am planning an upgrade with Intel Core i5 4670 4th gen. processor.

Please recommend a good motherboard within a budget of 8-9k INR.

I prefer Intel but open for Asus & Gigabyte as well.

Thanks.

Three mobos from the 3 top brands and within your budget. Nothing came up from Intel... they don't even have socket 1150 (for 4th Gen CPUs) listed on their website.

ASUS Z87-A (NFC EXPRESS EDITION) LGA 1150 Intel Z87 $134.99 USD = 8,357.91 INR

GIGABYTE]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128675&clickid=TyIwDER2n2PERfYT7WUKtwCqUkTRJH0eZXZ3Vs0&iradid=97618&ircid=2106&irpid=79301&nm_mc=AFC-IR&cm_mmc=AFC-IR-_-na-_-na-_-na]GIGABYTE GA-Z87X-HD3 LGA 1150 Intel Z87[/url] $129.49 USD = 8,017.38 INR

MSI Z87-G45 Gaming LGA 1150 Intel Z87 $139.99 USD = 8,667.48 INR

Other options; 1 lower priced, the rest higher

Thanks for the choices but Z87 motherboard will not be in my budget. The prices in India are more than that. Suggest a good H87 motherboard in this range.

Can you afford this one? Gigabyte GA-Z87-DS3H... it only $109.79 USD = 6,812.57 INR which is about 15% less than your lower budget limit... how much would that increase to in India?

Check these H87's

The ASRock H87 Pro4 LGA 1150 Intel H87 is only $87.99 USD = 5,459.86 INR... about 46% less than your budget's lower limit... but it still has plenty of goodies... and the following two mobos are still priced under $100.00 USD. They are all good pics... I preset the pcpartpicker search filters for the 4 top brands only, 4 RAM slots, H87 chipset, onboard video... so whichever one you choose can be a good buy.

This one includes all the features as the last group and even is CrossFire capable (with ATI video cards)
MSI H87-G43 LGA 1150 Intel H87 for $99.79 USD = 6,192.06 INR. Again, which ever one you choose has desireable features only difference is this one's onboard video depends on the CPU. It all boils down to the one you can find in India for the right price.

No, I don't think any Z87 board will come within my budget. I am happy with H87. Also, I am not into overclocking so I think it should be good enough for me.

Please help me pick one out of these.
Intel DH87MC
Intel DH87RL

GA-H87-D3H
GA-H87-HD3

These are even more expensive than the last ones I suggested: GA-H87-D3H is the least expensive at $104.49 USD. And Intel DH8 are not in stock in Newegg so they are probably discontinued. As I commented before, Intel doesn't even list socket 1150 motherboards in their website.

Intel DH87MC = $110 to 130 USD
Intel DH87RL = $107.47 USD

GA-H87-D3H = $104.49 USD
GA-H87-HD3 = $115.92 USD

GIGABYTE GA-H87-D3H LGA 1150 Intel H87 $104.49 USD
