Budget is below Rs5000...

I already have all other components...i only need to upgrade cpu ( intelg630) + mobo(?)

There is a combo deal available on Flipkart for g630 + Gigabyte H61M-D2H

Intel/Gigabyte Intel Pentium Processor G630 and Gigabyte GA-H61M-D2H Motherboar Combo Motherboard: Flipkart.com

If you need USB3.0 ports then go for GIGABYTE GA-B75M-D3H ~4.2k,else Gigabyte H61M-D2H is fine.
GIGABYTE GA-B75M-D3H

How is Gigabyte GA-H61M-S2P? How it is different from Gigabyte GA-H61M-D2H ?

GA-H61M-S2P is Rs 3141@flipkart and serve my purpose to combine with Intel Pentium Processor G630 (Rs 3445@flipkart)

Gigabyte GA-H61M-D2H has more display port options as well as more memory slots.Gigabyte GA-H61M-D2H has HDMI,VGA,DVI ports whereas gigabyte GA-H61M-S2P has only VGA as an option.

I think OP should opt for Gigabyte B75M-D3H motherboard, available around 4.3K. It will offer OP better Ram capacity and compatibility, good upgrade path (any 3rd gen Non K Processor) and features like USB 3.0 and SATA III 6 Gbps.

Thank You everyone. I have a strict budget to follow regarding this system and I am not worried about compatibility or features as this system is expected to do very basic tasks.

For my current needs, I have finalized
Intel G630
Gigabyte GA-H61M-S2P
Seagatte Barracuda 1TB
Corsair 1333 RAM 4GB
Total: 12k, fits in my budget very well.

Kindly suggest budget PSU and cabinet.

Also one question, SATA III 6 Gbps is used only for SSD drives?

PSU + Case : Zebronics Tambi @ ~2k
Else any el cheapo psu and cabinet would do, is long as you don't add a gpu

And SATA III 6GBPS is used by both HDDs and SSDs .

sata III 6gbps practical benefit is only for ssd because normal convention hdd can't even reach sata II speed.tambi is not a good option unless the usage is strictly htpc because of some serious lack of space.get any cheap intex/zebronics cabinet for ~600 & get a cheap psu costing ~650(avoid zebronics which is seriously lacking on 12V rail & get something which offers at least 20A on +12V which is mentioned on side sticker).

good suggestion and in the same line people who are looking for cheap yet reliable SMPS for normal usage, consider Kunhar VIP : SMPS Series :: VIP Computer Cabinets & Input devices :: KPPL - I am not able dig out the new pricing but 4-5 years back this brand of PSU used to get suggested in lots of Indian tech forum.
