Hard to say like this without knowing what your requirements are/might be.
Anyway, its a choice between the P8H77-M LE and the P8B75-V.

IMO,despite being a matx, the M LE might be a better choice.

My requirements are gaming, would prefer to have a HDMI port but is it necessary as my gpu will have HDMI. I'm thinking of connecting to TV, So do I need HDMI on MOBO ?

You have a regular monitor or do you plan to use the tv as one ?

Best to drive all graphics from the gpu if ports are available on it. In the presence of a discrete GPU, one rarely uses the mobo graphics slots.

I have 22inch Monitor, If GPU has HDMI is it necessary to buy mobo with HDMI ? ?

No, its not necessary.

But Try to get one with HDMI, or atleast DVI.. VGA is quite old and obsolete
