Suggest me Motherboard under 7k for gaming purpose

[kill3rdrum]

recently i purchased i3 processor, gpu sapphire R9 270x 2 gb, 1 tb hdd, psu corsair cx 600 watt, and 4 gb ddr3 ram (later i will upgrade it to 10 gb). Now i am confused which motherboard is best for my configuration...

 

[random5]

upgrade to 10gb? you meant 8gb? i3 CPU? sheesh you got ripped off, its not a gaming CPU. corsairs CX series if you havent readed got terrible reviews and aren't really reliable. sticking with 4GB isnt an option while gaming.

Your build is pretty much screwed up,but since you've already purchased em,cant do much hmm.. mtoherboard.. H97M anniversary ASRock?

 

[kill3rdrum]

thnx bro, and i will upgrade it to 10 gb (2 gb + 8 gb )

ASRock make good motherboards, but the Anniversary series are the ones with the least features. I would move up to the Pro 4.

The 2Gb in your graphics card is not on the motherboard, if that is what you mean.

Sorry for my bad english

You gave me a 7,000 Rs limit. That board is more expensive.

The H87 is a previous generation chipset, which is still good to go, but will not support future chips (which may not bother you in the least) and you need to check to see if the BIOS supports the CPU that you plan to buy. It may need an update. I might recommend it to reach a budget, but it is more expensive.

This: http://www.asrock.com/mb/intel/H87%20Pro4/?cat=CPU

Is the list of CPUs supported by the ASRock H87 Pro4 motherboard. The rightmost column tells what version of the BIOS is needed to run any particular CPU.

When you buy the board, the vendor should be able to tell you what version of BIOS it has and guarantee that it will run any compatible CPU, or they need to promise to update if for you, if needed. or exchange the board for one with the right BIOS.

Look in the list for the i3 that you have bought, If it says All in the BIOS list everything is great. If not let me know which CPU you have.

Thnx a lot for helping me, and my pro is i3-540 3.06 ghz

I think there's a typo there. There is no i3-540 3.06ghz processor.

If you mean a i3 4350 3.60Ghz processor, that requires P1.90 BIOS.

[DonkeyOatie]

I stand corrected. I should have said there is no Modern i3-540 3.06ghz processor.

That processor will NOT run on your motherboard. It uses a LGA1156 socket. The boards we have been talking about use the LGA1150 socket.

Flipkart offers only two motherboards with LGA1156, one is out of stock and likely to remain so, and the other one is 10,900 Rs.

Where to from here? What motherboard do you have now?

There are several motherboards from Asus and MSI with 97 in their name (970 or A97) a bit over 5,000Rs. They would work.
