My friend is going to buy this:
Buy Asrock H77 Pro4-MVP Motherboard in Mumbai India

and pair it with G620.He wants to know whether it is a good buy considering future updates and processor change(later)?

How Good is G620 for HD playback with a discrete GPU?

Open to all kinds of suggestions.Thank You. :razz:

Yes, that's a very good board for its price. But I wont suggest a 7k board for G620. A H61 board is more than enough.
Get AsRock H61M/U3S3. Its a good choice for its price.

+1. You dont need to buy such a board for only a G260. a H61 is more than enough :wink:

AsRock H61M/U3S3 has USB3 and SATA3 as well. Its out of stock now, if you can find somewhere else then good else consider the Gigabyte GA-H61M-D2H. Its a good board too. Gigabyte GA-H61M-D2H Motherboard | Motherboard | Flipkart.com

if your friend is interested in buying a K sku cpu later he better buy a z77/z68 chipset based mobo.

Get this :
ASRock Z77 Pro4 4 Ports of USB3.0 & SATA3.0
or this :
ASRock Z77 Extreme4 Motherboards

My friend plans to add a good ivy bridge processor later.Till then he is gonna pair it with G620.I know G620 is not worth H77.

I agree G620 goes well with H61,but he wants a future ready mobo.

He won't go with H61, that's what he said.Ty for advice.

He does not like to overclock and considering it H77 fits perfectly.

^^ I though in the future your friend will get a K series cpu as you have told he might change his cpu later ;-)

Anyway, I don't think you will find a B75 mobo easily - only Z77, H77 and Z75 mobos are available atm.

For mobo Asrock and Asus both are good IMO but this depends upon on the price range and mobo model.
