You may get a decent 4th gen Core i5 processor like i5 4570 and a H87 mobo and a 4 GB RAM in that budget.
But I will leave the exact config for pros.

 

[rijinpk1]

i5 4570 - 13.5k
asus h87 m e- 7.7k
kingston hyperx blu 2x 4gb - 5k /corsair vengeance /gskill ripjaws x
(optional) deepcool tesseract -2.5k(if you dont have a good enough cabby)

Cabinet is NZXT Gamma

Cabinet is NZXT Gamma

then you can skip that deepcool one.

+1 for this.

What about i5-4440 at 12400 and MSI H87 G43 at 8800 ?

 

[Vyom]

I have the same MSI G43 mobo. It's good. Have two PCI-e slots.
Here's my thread, if you need how I reached to conclusion to buy it: *www.digit.in/forum/cpu-motherboard...ell-processor-i5-4570-around-7k-my-needs.html

i5 4570 have about the same clock speeds but better Max turbo frequency. Rest is upto you: ARK | Compare Intel® Products

i5 4460 at 12400

AsRock Z87M Pro at 8900

i5 4460 at 12400

AsRock Z87M Pro at 8900

Is the mobo good enough?

Which shop and where?

Gigabyte B85M-D3H rev2.0 @ 5.5k is best for i5 4460.

If B85M-D3H is rev1.0 then you have to do a Bios Upgrade in order to use i5 4460.

You don't need a Z87 board for non K processor. Also this is a mATX board. Better get a H87 or B85 board.

Z87 board for non k processor is waste of money. Just get an H87 or B85 board. H87 >B85.

 

[rijinpk1]

if you think asrock rma is good at your place, no problem in opting a z87 board at that price. but i would recommend asus h87 pro though.better durability and a display port.

 

[Allu Azad]

Bought Z87 and they introduced Z97 at even lesser price .

Sent PSU for rma . I hope everything will be fixed by the month end.

 

[nomad47]

And you ignored everyone's suggestion by opting Z87 in a non k processor

 

[Allu Azad]

And you ignored everyone's suggestion by opting Z87 in a non k processor

I always do these kinda mistakes .

 

[Allu Azad]

Had to return the mobo due to bios issues. The shop people were afraid to upgrade the bios so they returned my money.

So I need an H97 mobo for my i5-4460. Max budget is 9k. May be I can include a Cooler in that budget too?(If that is recommended).

[rijinpk1]

get msi z97 mate -8k and cooler master hyper tx3 evo/antec a40 - 1.5k

- - - Updated - - -

or you can have a look at asus h97 pro at 9k=9.5k.

 

[piyush2202]

I bought my CPU, RAM and Motherboard for a total of 23.8k. If you get a Intel Core i5 - 4570 instead, it should get you to about 25k.
