As far I know p45 chipsets are hard to find within 5k. Those would cost you min 9-10k

Well look at other solutions from ASUS like P5QL-PRO.

can get P43. its almost equivalent to P45. MSI P43 or something of that kind. and if going for P45, i'll suggest better go for X48.

P45 chipsets would not come with HDMI native port, cause they do not have IGP. If you want IGP+onboard HDMI choose another chipset. You will need to mount a VGA card on the P45, which of course will have HDMI, or a DVI to HDMI converter (usually bundled with the accelerator) can be mounted.

EDIT:
Yes, Sir Sam is correct.

change the PSU to avoid damage to your rig in future. get something like Gigabyte 460W/FSP Saga II 400W so your PC safe & future upgrade path open.

ok tell me a powersupply budget 2-2.5k

both PSU i suggested falls between 2-2.5k, depending on where you buy. both same PSU so buy which one you get cheaper. or if u can increase your budget by 300 bucks more, u may get the Corsair CX400W which is superior to both the PSU. in efficiency + warranty.

Well you nit-wit, you keep changing your requirements after we list stuff for you. You wanted a P45, after I told you boards in your range, you wanted with onboard -- which P45s do not carry. Then you wanted the P5Q range, and now you tell us, it is too expensive. What you want then..? Change your requirements, else increase your budget.

Nit-wit is not a profanity. Its equivalent to calling someone dumb. Reason I said this, cause the OP is jumping all over the place. I researched stuff out for him as per his requirement, and then his requirements change --- that to the price. Plus he wants features which are not possible on the specific chip set. He can research that too, prior to posting here. Thanks.
