@OP: Its primeabgb. Not primeagbp like sunny said.
Also stay away from theitdepot. No matter what, dont ever order from them. They overprice, delay, and never update you about the status of your order. Its like throwing your money out of the window.

Strange thing. I checked out the sites. Only smcinternational stocks the i5 2500k. And the P67 motherboards are overpriced everywhere. mailme.manju said it is 8.5k but everywhere it is listed from 9.5k to 11.5k

Dude, prices keep fluctuating. So you got to observe all the web sites and pounce on the cheapest deals once to see it. Else you will pay more that you need to.

Why does the ASUS P8P67 cost 11k+ whereas the Intel DP67BG costs 8-8.5k. I mean whats the basic difference between the two and if cost is not a problem then which should be the choice.
But again I wouldn't like to spend 2.5-3k more on the ASUS just because I can afford it. It has to give me considerably more benefit than the Intel.

First I was thinking of getting the i5 2400 but then I realized I could stretch my budget a bit and get an i5 2500K.
@Piyush
Not buying the stuff online. Just want a reliable place to check prices.

By the way, the RAM suggested F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL (2Gx2) is not compatible with H67 or P67.

If it is DDR3, it will work with out any problems.

Do you mean frequency, timing, voltage etc. does not matter as long as I have DDR3?

Practically, it does not. You will only see a difference of a few microseconds of performance difference, with respect to the frequency, timing, voltage etc. Which is not very noticable.
Unless you are an enthusiast, you will not mind in investing in a set of RAM sticks that is not present in the QVL of your motherboard.

I checked out the specs of ASUS p8p67 pro evo and deluxe and didn't see a great lot of difference between the 3. How do their prices compare?

Additional features is what brings the difference in prices. The Deluxe version has 2 NICs and things like that for the other boards. Just compare them yourself to see if you are able to find the differences.

Actually I was expecting the prices of the two boards to be posted.

Nopes. I wrote that I'll buy in May after exams. I think I'll have to travel to Mumbai to get cabinet else will settle for CM 690 II Plus Advanced. And I'll have to locate the CPU cooler. God knows where that can be found here.
