Hi,

Need to buy Core i5-2500k processor and motherboard. Can you help me with selecting good motherboard . As processor cost is 14k , I can afford only 8k for motherboard. Please suggest me.

14k? Its even cheaper in flipkart. This shouldn't cost you anything more than 13k?
For motherboard there are no good boards. These are some options: Gigabyte GA-Z77P-D3 Motherboard vs Gigabyte GA-Z77M-D3H Motherboard vs ASUS P8Z77-M Motherboard vs ASRock Z77 Pro4 Motherboard: Compare Motherboards: Flipkart.com
Atleast get Asus P8Z77-M or AsRock Z77 Extreme 4 for 10k.

Cost of 2500K should be 13K at max. Get a board like Asus P8Z77M or Gigabyte GA-Z77P-D3. Should come inside 20K.
