If you're looking for an NVIDIA board, we suggest an ASUS P5N32-E SU; for Intel, we suggest an ASUS P5K Deluxe. Both boards are priced at just below the Rs 15,000. For something cheaper we suggest the Abit IP35-E Off Limits (Intel; Rs 8,500), or the XFX 650i SU (NVIDIA; Rs 6,500).

The 680i chipset does give a lot more control over various components than the P35-based boards, though we've seen some ASUS boards based on Intel chipsets with detailed BIOS', rich with overclocking options. For this exercise, we used ASUS'
Maximus Formula Limited Edition, based on Intel's latest X38 chip set.
