I have an INTEL i-3 540 procy.
I want a suitable mobo for it with onboard graphics, 4RAM slots, 2PCI slots.
Please give me all the motherboads available under under such feature.
I have a budget of 5000, but can extend it to 6000.
If its USB-3 capable and SATA-3 capable then its even better.

I think you guys could have corrected him 1st.
saswat23, Core i3 and Core i5 dual core processors have the IGP installed inside the CPU die, their motherboards don't have any IGP.

But for enabling it you need to put the processor in a H55 chipset based motherboard. The one suggested by Vicky is decent enough, so go with it.
