Isn't this an Intel board? I am looking for A85x boards for the AMD A10 processor. Just to keep alternatives to Asus board, I have asked if there are any good boards in MSI or Asrock.
Sorry , posted in wrong thread.
I think You wont get any A85x boards in this price. I think you will only get this-MSI FM2-A55M-E33

Purchased some components today at the following prices with slight difference
1) Mobo - Asus F2A85XM -- 6000 (Took this as the MLE variant is not available and is Rs.500 more than the MLE variant)
2) Processor -- A10 5800K -- 7500
3) RAM -- Corsair 4GB x 2 Value select -- 3600
4) WD 500 GB Blue - 2950
5) cabinet -Bitfenix MercAlpha --- 3100

Strangely Corsair CX430 V2 is not available with any of the vendors and the distributor is saying that the model is stopped and may be any left overs may be received in the second week of april. Instead everybody is suggesting Corsair VS500 and the Antec strictly power series 450W (Rs.2600). But did not take this as I do not know any thing about this. Though the box is saying as guaranteed 450W and 85% efficiency, there is no mention of any certifications on the box. So did not take it.

So I had to ordered the CX430 which is still available in Flipkart at Rs.2940. Expensive by 300 rupees in Flipkart.
So waiting for its arrival.

@ All --- Thank you all for your excellent support and guidance all the way. Got a good system without exceeding the budget too much. Thanks once again to all and this excellent and brilliant Tech forum.
Note: My parttime list is added by one more point -- Spreading word about this excellent forum.

My current SSD drive died and I am waiting for its replacement also...Kingston is taking time to replace it (13 days passed by and still no ETA)... but of course it is another story of Kingston woes.

Don't go for vs450. Try to find cx on flipkart, mdcomputers, or theitwarez.

I also managed to salvage a cooler master Hyper TX3 from my old system which i intend to use it, but this is a bit noisy. Even after cleaning the dust. Which one is better? The TX3 or the stock cooler of the A10 processor? As i hate noisy fans, silent operation is more important to me. Also i need advise on good 120 mm fans in a budget of a 500 rupees. As silent operation is more important to me, i already removed cooler master from my list as they are too noisy. I found only Deepcool and Bitfenix spectre which claim to operate at a noise level of less than 20 decibles. I also had Noctua in mind but i did not find any body selling 120 mm in India but flipkart is featuring only 80mm.

Still waiting flipkart to deliver my CX430. Booked on 29th March but still the status shows as processing and their customercare is saying as they are trying to procure from their suppliers. :-(
 
For an a10 5800k, the stock cooler is completely fine, however, as you already own a CM TX3, so you may use it in case you overclock the APU (which you definitely will one day :p)

Guys CX430 is hard to find. It is not available locally. Flipkart sent me a mail and cancelled my order stating that it is not available with any of its suppliers. Some online stores are advertising as available, but when contacted they say, they will ship if the stock is available. Maybe in their definitions Availability==Still produced model, but stocks not immediately available.

So now the question is what is the next alternative? I am able to find only two models
1) Seasonic S12II 430 Watts --- Good one but expensive and not sure about the quality and reliability of RMA
2) Antec VP450 --- Not an 80 Plus certified but had a very good positive review in hardwaresecrets.com
Antec VP450 Power Supply Review | Hardware Secrets
The price of this Antec model is around Rs.2700

Seeking your valuable suggestions on this.

It seems too good to be true..
80+ certified, Sleeved cables, good build quality, 550w and Gigabyte..
No one has reviewed it though but ive done some research and found it is manufactured by same oem as that of corsair (cwt)

and BTW
i own a VS450.. ive been running a GTX 560 on it for a month with NO problems...

Took this finally.
1) Mobo - Asus F2A85XM -- 6000 (Took this as the MLE variant is not available and is Rs.500 more than the MLE variant)
2) Processor -- A10 5800K -- 7500
3) RAM -- Corsair 4GB x 2 Value select (1600 Mhz) -- 3600
4) WD 500 GB Blue - 2950
5) cabinet -Bitfenix MercAlpha --- 3100
6) Bitfenix spectre- 2 x 120 mm fans -- Really ultra silent!!
7) Coolermaster 90 CFM - 120 mm fan -- Silent with good airflow.
8) PSU -- Antec VP450P -- Rs.2600 --- Took this as CX430V2 is impossible to get (The distributor of corsair products-Aditya Infotech confirmed that this product is not available in the country. Not sure why they stopped this product. I came to know this when I had contacted them through mail.)
The Antec VP450 has won the golden award and had a very good review in hardwaresecrets.com

Will post the pictures in the Show off section.

Tons of thanks to all those who helped me pick up a very good system.

Mods may please close this thread as the purchasing is completed.
