^^^Yup... searched a lot... Even thought of going with Ivy bridge as Haswell processors were not available anywhere.... Primeabgb was my last stop and fortunately he had it....but no mobo:(

Still waiting for the mobo... Guys please suggest whether I should go with Asus Gryphon or Asus Z87-A or Asus Z87-Pro???

Well Asus Z87-A is cheaper of three... but Gryphon is said to have higher quality components.

Also should I consider mobos other than Asus??

It's good enough IMO.. you may consider others but ASUS is generally better(or atleast most preffered in india).. :-D

Gryphone reminds me of GramophonE...
It's Gryphon

BTW OP has no overclocking dreams...(If he was serious about overclocking he should have chosen FX 8350)

Called PrimeABGB...the mobos are still not available :(

ok...so spoke to him...he said their distributor has changed...now the distributor for ASUS is Redington and he has given him all the mobos with seal open but he assured that all is fine...if any problem occurs then he'll replace them.

Thanks...would have saved a 100 more if I had picked the board myself... But going to Lamington in itself is a big task...paid 150 but saved time and energy :p
