Hi i want to upgrade my current PC's motherboard and CPU and my budget is around INR 20k. I want to have Z77 chipset based motherboard and if it have m-sata than it will be a delight as it can be used for speeding PCusing intel rapid start technology.For processor i am considering intel i5 3450.
I have read a review of gigabyte Z77x-ud3h...is this option good enough.i want mobo from only reputed brands like asus,gigabytr.
i am not a serious gamer but i want future proof pc at leastvfor 2-3 years...please reply ASAP. :-?

Is 20k the budget for cpu + motherboard?

Is 20k the budget for cpu + motherboard?

GA-Z77X-UD3H - Rs 12075 (msata)
i5 3570K - Rs 13500 - More the match

Gigabyte GA-H77-DS3H - Rs 7300
i5 3470 - Rs 11400 - More the match

But why do you want a Z77 with a non overclocking Processor. Are you going to overclock? If No, get an H77 based motherboard.Are you going to Sli? If No ,then again I would say get an H77 based Motherboard.

Better answer this for clearer suggestions from us.

Processor: Intel Core I5-3450 @ 10.6K
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z77P-D3 @8.2K

Total: 18.8K

If you really want to spend 20K then you may get 3550.

yes for mobo and cpu

i want a future proof pc and z77 chipset have a native support for usb 3.0 and msata..

I've already suggested according to your needs.
If you want go ahead & buy I5-3550
