^^ looks good.

@OP, go with the AMD one. if the config crossing your budget, get the VX450W. and for mobo get 785G-880G based. rest keep everything same.

well..
but nobody suggest Asus MB.. actually i have planned to buy Asus Motherboard (AMD+Nvidia platform) as most reviews stats asus is one of the reliable brand with lots of features..
Any specific reasons for not suggesting Asus?

Also i would like to invest more money to Motherboard than processor. so any other premium boards available in Gigabyte /Asus.?

Wake up, bro. It is history now. Asus Mobo's are becoming crap now-a-days. (I am a proud owner of ASUS Mobo :D ). So trust me, Gigabyte and MSI are the one's in the race and you wont regret buying any of these.
If you want NVIDIA+AMD, go for config suggested by Jaskanwar Singh, make few changes to match with ur budget. Thats it.

actually reviews are the trailers. they always feels exciting. but your get the real experience once you watch the movie (buy the mobo & waste your hard earned money on it). only than you you know if its a hit or a flop. so take your step carefully. visit newegg & read user reviews on the mobo you want to buy. should give you an early idea of what to expect.

absolutely.
if u like asus, just shoot for premium boards.12K+
they are really good , but honestly the lower boards are craps.simply craps.....

i own the gigabyte board , its north bridge is really getting hot ! really hot.....it was 7k approx.but now i m thinking either buy below 5k or buy above 12k.....
