Since you're opting for a Non K Processor and also on tight budget, I think you should opt for a B85 chipset based motherboard with plenty of connections like USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 ports, SATA 6 Gbps ports and PCI Express ports. My suggestion is ASUS B85M-G motherboard @ 6.36K (*www.flipkart.com/asus-b85m-g-mothe...=b_7&ref=0a2ddf7f-0f15-4abf-a9fd-4db8ff16fade). It comes with 4 USB 3.0 ports (2 back panel and one header for front USB port which can be used to connect your Cabinet's front panel USB 3.0 port), 4 SATA III 6 Gbps ports and 2 SATA II 3 Gbps connectors which will help you connect SATA III storages like current SATA 6 Gbps HDD and SSDs. Another feature is two PCI-Express X1 slots which can be used to connect new generation of Audio cards or PCI-E SSDs.
Also Asus normally has an edge over its competitors in BIOS design, they provide more accurate controls over different components and parameters.

thanks for the reverts. b85 is bit too low for my config. i'm willing to spend 10-12K max on a motherboard. after lot of looking the one i have on mind is MSI Z87-G43 Gaming. but still im exploring pros, cons and alternative for that. Just want to make sure that i buy the best motherboard that 10-12k of my money can fetch.

Gigabyte Z87-D3HP -11300.

better than MSI Z87-G43 Gaming ? which is also at the same price.

Better than MSI is Gigabyte and also MSI has closed shop in India and RMA will be a problem.

considering my config. and the fact that nothing is overlocked it has been suggested to me to shift to h87 instead of z87 as it will won't make sense if im not going to overlock anything. the only reason i'm worried or care about is the ( imp factor ) better gaming experience with regards to fps and overall.

Then Gigabyte H87-D3H -9000.

Buddy, for gaming experience, you should concentrate more on CPU and Graphics card. A good B85 chipset motherboard is enough for your needs and there is no need to spend 12K on it. If you haven't purchase the Graphics card yet, get the motherboard I've suggested and with the saved money, get a Sapphire R9 280X 3GB GDDR5 Dual Fan version, currently available around 22K. It will provide you a good amount of gaming performance boost over a 760 Ti.
Also, the choice of PSU is pretty bad, VS series belongs to the lowest end Corsair series. Instead of it, get a Antec VP650 or Seasonic Eco 600 PSU.

I agree with Cilus, there is absolutely no need for a Z87 chipset mobo for a non K series processor.. Also, that CPU cooler is an added expense as well, it will serve you no extra benefit as you arent going to OC your CPU
Either get a K series processor or get H87 and get better GPU

what do you meant by too low?? you can spend any amount you want. but spending money unnecessarily is not a good idea.a good b85/h87 motherboards is more than enough. If you ever plan on sli-ing later, then only get a good z87 board with sli support. remember you may have to get a good psu unit as well for sli.

Hi there! im MSI representative for India. MSI MB/VGA has continued its operation in India all these years. But it was MSI NB division that has closed operations. Don't worry, we're planning a relaunching already the second half of the year.

Rest assured, all our after services are still in place with SmartLink and its subsidiaries throughout India.
