Hello,
I want to upgrade my PC configuration. Monitor, Keyboard-Mouse, Sound System, CD-Drive, Hard-disk are working fine.
I just want to buy new CPU and motherboard;

I don't need high processing power. I use this PC for home use only.
Software I usually run on it are:
MS office
VLC media player &
some web browsers

Please suggest me a good CPU(any Intel or AMD) that will give satisfactory performance (I mean not very slow) and a compatible motherboard. I heard AMD CPUs' prices are lower than Intel's.

I don't want to spend much money on it so My budget is around 6k. I can buy these from Mumbai or Pune.

Intel Pentium G645 @ 3.3k
Asrock H61 Mobo @ 2.7k

@ OP - you may need to opt for DDr3 memory module if you don't have any already.
