if it lasts for 2yrs, its paisa wasool. anyway do remember its 790FX = no IGP. so do grab a graphics card too before turning on the system.

I'm also interested to know.

Saw second hand 9800GT was selling at 2.8 or 3k on lynx-india a couple of months ago.

The stupid seller quoted "Sorry we are out of stock" got a refund
Bought a P7H57D-V EVO instead for 8000 (Brand New)

I'm into gaming only

brah do you have too much of money or what, you took something for refund without know what why
it can run core i5 proccies, so get one whichever goes good with your overall budget.

^^ that mobo is based on intel H57 chipset and LGA1156 Socket - you can put any intel LGA 1156 based cpu core i5, i7 or i3 cpu on that mobo depending on your budget.

BTW, how much do want to spend on cpu ??
