Asus F2A85-M-LE is available in smcinternational @ 5.725K, 300 bucks cheaper than Techshop.in.

Check SMC, lots of budget FM2 motherboards have arrived, starting from 3.5K (MSI FM2-A55M-E33 AMD A55 ). I am sharing my analysis in the PC buying guide.

Pairing A10-5800K with this mobo, a good idea? ASUS's F2A85-M-LE.

^ get F2A85-M.

Not the LX. LX has only two RAM slots.

Nothing. We need good micro ATX boards, a single PCIe slot will do.

Considering the price LE makes sense. Also, no one is going to use more than 8GB RAM, so 2DIMMs is no issue. :p

Extra RAM slots really justify the price increase of 1k? I don't think so. I will barely be able to utilize 8 GB from two slots. :p
Especially when I am not much of a gamer or do any rendering etc.

Depends on usage I think. I am so far pretty disappointed with almost all mobos having 7 SATA ports and offering an useless eSATA (only exception is MSI GD65). But then again, for most of the users even 7 ports are more than enough.

re: AMD Trinity & Richland APU Discussion

most people needs 2 Sata ports so 4 ports on m-atx mobo is more than enough but with ATX mobo there's lots of sapce so adding 2-3 more stata ports looks Ok but what's the use of e-sata/IEE1394 port nowadays anyway - every manufacturer should ditch this - with the invent of usb 3.0 they are no longer necessary.

BTW, what about the availability of A8-5600K - this should be more VFM considering the price of 5800K.

According to Futuremark benchmarks The A4-5300(Rs. 3K) has a CPU comparable to Intel Core i3 540(5.5K on Flipkart) and a GPU almost as power full as the NVidia GT520(2.7K on Flipkart)!!!
Can anyone confirm that the actual real world performance too is as good as the benchmarks show it is??

This is a pretty good mATX mobo:-

Gigabyte GA-F2A85XM-D3H Socket FM2 Motherboard Review


Apart from just 03 audio jacks (and the color scheme), this mobo has them all. Performance is good too.
