I WANT TO BUY A NEW PC, FOR WHICH I HAVE DECIDED FOLLOWING THINGS.
NOW I WANT FEW GOOD MOTHERBORDS GIVING GOOD PERFORMANCE IN THE RANGE OF BELOW 10K.

MY SYSTEM IS :

Intel core 2 duo 3.16GHz E8500 (6MB L2 cache 1333MHz FSB)
4GB RAM (800MHz)

I AM ALSO CONFUCED IN THE CASE OF GRAPHIC CARDS AS WELL, CAN YOU TELL ME WHICH ON IN THE RANGE OF 5K WILL GO WITH ABOVE SYSTEM AND YOUR MOBO.

Get your Self the latest model of ASUS P5N-E SLI(650i sli nvidia chipset).If you get it from ITwares it will cost you around rs 6000 save the rest for and nvidia Geforce 8800/9800GT.
The latest version of the above board with the latest bios will support your processor as well as penryn quadcore.
I have the above board with the latest bios and believe me it sometimes even beats the 680i in performance.

yes. Don't rush for new mobo yet. Even if you buy new mobo, you do need a graphics card for gaming performance as more and more developers are upping their games visual appeal. So, get a graphics card first and then if necessary think of upgrading mobo.
