look for the MSI 785GM E51 mobo,costs Rs3.7k .If you go for cheaper RAM,you can get transcend value ram for Rs1850,but you cant save on the rest,so you have to extend your budget.

The ASUS M4A78LT-M LE has very good features and is very vfm for the price it sells at.

You shouldn't worry on the service part- it has improved a lot and is going to get much better from what i feel.
One guy got a new and much better SATA 6Gbps, USB 3.0 mobo with full 3 years warranty in replacement for an older AMD motherboard.
Another guy was offered credit note of 7K (full refund i think) or a P7P55D (more expensive i think) mobo in replacement for an older socket 775 mobo.
These are just a few cases i have heard of recently.
