I am building a budget gaming PC. I already have a AMD FX 4300 and HD 6670 DDR3 GPU. I would like to know which is the best budget Mobo+RAM combo for this cpu. I am not planning to overclock. My budget is Rs. 5500. Also will I be needing a new PSU as right now I have a 450W Intex one.

Thanks.

5.5k is a tight budget for RAM+Mobo combo .. anyway, you can go for Kingston Hyper X Blu @ 2.5k and GA-78LMT-S2PT @ 3.1k.

For PSU though I don't know your budget or i which gpu you have you can either get Antec VP 350 @ 1.8k or Antec VP 450 @ 2.6k.

not a very good choice better get Seasonic SS400BT if you can find one under 2.5k or else Antec VP350P is all you can get ... there's also a new psu released by Antec ie BP400PX but the price and availability is still unknown.

Fitted the PSU and I am really impressed how quiet it is. There is still one issue though. I have voltage fluctuations at my place. So my PC is restarting every now and then. This never used to happened with my old el cheapo PSU. Any suggestions?

Use a good UPS, like APC 600VA. Your PC is getting restarted because the PSU is cutting down the power to save other components from voltage fluctuation, which I didn't think your local PSU was capable of.

Why are you always suggesting Biostar Motherboards? Their AMD compatible series always have 4+1 power phases only where as brands like Asus, Gigabyte and MSI boards have 4+2 or more power phases even in 970 series motherboards mate. please suggest something reliable for at least 3-4 years and also good for any future overclocking mate...
My best bet for a good motherboard is Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3 for 5800 which has 8+2 power phases which is best considered for its overclocking capability man...

I m big fan of Biostar :) and once you experience the difference between the Biostar motherboards and other motherboards you will agree with me.
