sir pls suggest me the motherboard for the above requirement.....

p.s. my budget is 2.5k to 4.5k

ASUS P5P43TD/USB3
Fits your requirements.
lga775 is an old socket, so not many mobos left. You will find G41 chipsets (around 2.5k-3k) in the market, rest all are rare.

PS: I had this mobo. Rma'd it and waited for 2 months. None were present in stock so opted for a credit note and upgraded mobo proc.
Same advise to you. Upgrade now while you can dispose the proc.
