my :2cents: : Refer to the Manufacturer's website for full and correct Specs, except, ofcourse Sammy products : :evil:

P. S. I'm not saying that other websites show wrong Info, but some do show a bit less than required. no wars welcome :D

and as for the Question,
here :
Intel® Desktop Board DZ75ML-45K

This Intel® Z75 Express Chipset-based product allows overclocking of the Core as well as the Graphics, and Memory frequencies.

are you sure you want to OC ??

and are you ready with other things like a good aftermarket cooler ??

i dont have any experience with OCing, so let others suggest,
IMO, it is the cheapest OC-able MOBO in the market, though dont just go and buy it straight away.. wait for some members to comment.

you may have a look here :

That Z75 stuff is good & recently many have been suggesting them on forum..
You can OC but that doesnt mean you should OC.

ask yourself
1.is your PC slow??
2.Do you have good power supply?
3.do you have a good cooler??

first tell me will oc my cpu increase performence by much?
my total budget is 25k including gpu, so tell me what to do?

OC-ing your CPU can get awesome results, but not if you want to use stock cooler.
an aftermarket cooler must be there to support the heat coming off the CPU when been OC'ed.

and you have a decent budget, IMO.
and you want to have three things, if you want to OC, and also GPU (may be 4, if you want one more ram stick too)
1. OC-able Mobo LGA 1155
2. Aftermarket cooler + additional fans for cooler/case fans (if you dont have enough)
3. a GPU
4. 4 GB Ram stick (same config as the one you have)(optional)
Budget = 25 k

Topgear recently suggested me that CM hyper 212 EVO (one fan included) is one of the best VFM aftermarket coolers also good for OC
we may go for two more fans, one for the cooler (so the cooler now has 2 fans) , and one, you put in the cabby.

CM Hyper 212 EVO = 2.1 K
2x120mm Fans = somebody suggest exact models) (1K ,AFAIK)
1x4 GB Ram = 1.6- ~2.3 k (dunno ,since OP hasn't mentioned the model of the one he has already.)
MOBO = ASUS P8H77-M = 7.4 k
total (with RAM) = 12.1 ~ 12.8 K (leaves 12.9 ~ 12.2 K for GPU)
Total (without RAM) = 10.5 K (leaves 24.5 K for GPU)

somebody suggest a good GPU too, since i have no info about good GPU's

also one thing must be considered , whether the current PSu can support the additional components bought (yes, the GPU specially.:) )

if the PSU is also to be updated, get the intel mobo instead , and you have 3 k more for the PSU + GPU

i want to run upcomming games in good framrates and if my budget permits then only i will buy a new mobo because as u told oc does not incraese that much performence in games.

still, you need to change that mobo, its h61 not at all for gaming , IMO.
and you may/ may not go for OC, and an aftermarket cooler is always better. (i, myself am gonna buy one soon , even for such a damn proccy :D)

so where to spend? please help me.
and what about h67 chipsets is it good for gaming?

I dont there's relation between gaming performance and gaming. And I'm not saying there won't be any performance gain in gaming, its depends on how much cpu intensive the game is. Performance will surely increase in multiplayer as they are quite cpu intensive. For overclocking, you need a z77 board (for second and third gen Intel processors), an aftermarket cooler, as the stock cooler is not enough for overclocking. My previous suggestion still stands. If someone can suggest better z77 board at lower price, then thats even better. Get a z77 board and a graphic card now and get a cooler after 1 or 2 months (dont overclock till then).

asus P8Z77-M as the Z77 mobo ?

AsRock does not have good A.S.S. in India AFAIK, though the motherboards are very good for their. Outside of India, its a great choice.
