do not get gt240 at all .it is now 4 generation old.

get this mobo- Theitdepot - Asus M5A78L M USB3 32GB DDR3 AMD Motherboard

hd 6670 ddr3- Sapphire AMD/ATI Radeon HD 6670 1 GB DDR3 Graphics Card - Sapphire: Flipkart.com

i would reccommend you to get ddr5 version of hd 6670.ddr5 is faster than ddr3.

you will get ddr5 at 5.2k in local store

with hd 6670 ddr5 you can easily play most of the games at high at 1368*768 res

niz04, can you spend 4K for the motherboard? pairing a FX 6100 with a low end board isn't a very good idea. Also it will cripple the overclocking potential of the CPU. My suggestion is Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 around 4K
