I am planning to buy i5-2300 and gigabyte GA-H61M-USB3-B3 which is costing me around 15k. This config. is in my budget . I will be using it for internet, movie etc. and only to play FIFA series. For FIFA, I am planning to buy graphics card later on (budget 8-9k).
Please comment on above configuration and also suggest a good graphics card. I do not intend to buy new configuration for another 2-3 yrs.

I will suggest you to pair i5 2320/2400 with Intel DH67VR which will cost 1.5k more and has more features as compared to any H61 board.

Go with this config:

Component | Make | Price Processor |Intel Core i5 2400|9400
Motherboard |Intel DH67CL|5200
| Total |14600

As you have mentioned that you will not be upgrading for atleast 2-3 years, you should go for a h67 based mobo which have better features than h61 based mobos. stick with i5 2400/H67 combo which is well within your budget.
