Thanks a ton guys for such quick response

I have a query, how about replacing mobo with this?

Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2PT Motherboard

Pls let me know the advantage/disadvantage of using this..

That mobo is based on very old chipset, AMD SB760, designed for older AM3 processors and support current AM3+ processors through BIOS tweak, and lacks lots of features present in newer AMD 9XX chipset which are designed from ground level to support newer generation AM3+ Processors. Also, that board is not recommended for a 6 Core Processor.

Thanks a lot cilus for clarifying my doubt

Can you suggest an INTEL based rig for the same budget??
Just as an alternative

IF you insist then look for Core i3 4130 which is around 8.4K and a good B85 Motherboard around 5K

But won't it exceed my budget??
I want it to be under 35-36k max

How bout i3 2120 or 3210??

OT: I will be going to get the components in an hour..

That's why a balanced AMD rig has been suggested to you.

DO NOT go for i3 2xxx. Get i3 3210.

Even that is not comparable to FX-6300's performance. At his budget, dual core processors should be avoided, although the 4th gen i3 processors can be recommended. But that too, hard to accommodate in his budget.
