First you choose a CPU then you decide on mobo. c2d is like 4 generations old. IT is a waste of money to buy c2d today.

Budget is like the lowest, even lower than 10k if possible for whole rig..(impossible?) I said i dont care for processor coz system will only be use for internet/utube mainly by family TILL THE GAME COMES :p
so was thinking to upgrade cpu later so said c2d for now.. but leave it, just tell me whole rig under lowest budget.. HDD even 160gb will be enough. thanks

You can just take a LGA 1155 (socket) mobo and put a c2d on it.
all of different architectures.....
So you'd need to like buy a Sandy/ivy pentuim processor for a LGA 1155 mobo if you want to go from cheap to expense.

You can't upgrade c2d man. In 10k you will only find used c2d. It is plenty for general office/browsing. But for gaming you need to spend big bucks on an ivy bridge or haswell system!

It is the best mobo under this budget. I'm getting the same mobo for my new PC with core i3-3220 and HD 7790 with 4 GB DDR3 1600Mhz.

Cpu 3220 means 3rd gen?? I read that h61 mobo is not good enough (not recomndd) for ivy bridge the 3rd gen.. and what PSU u think would be enough? I want least powerd gaming rig to run pc on 3k watt normal generator (350wat previous cpu runs great on it)

The new revision of h61m can run 3rd gen processor easily. My friend @iampasha is running a 3rd gen i5 on this board. I'm getting a Xigmatek Tauro 500w PSU. You should get 500w PSU this time or if you have plans to run your PC at generator and want to get 400w PSU then get a Tauro 400w

And I'm also making a low end PC for my university work plus light gaming like CS:GO, and some other games on 720p this PC is powerful enough to do these tasks easily.

In Simple You are Low On Budget.....!

Get Some More Or Wait And Save Some And Get A 3rd Gen Core Bundle Package (Slightly Used Look For PG..U Will Find One) Along With 500W 80+ PSU Like Xigmatec Tuaro ....

Nice... Thanks all for recommendations, this mobo is finalized :)
Last question: as "pak" gamers u might know are there any specific PSUs to deal with our fluctuations in voltages of genartrz n even wapda too does that in my area. My last mobo and psu hav been successfully undone by wapda. I hav no clue of psu models, as never ever made custom cpu before

If You Can get Hands On Newegg.com ....Then You Can Find So Many Products In Good Price Which You Can't Here...!

For Gaming On Generator...It Depends How Stable Your Generator Is ........Tune It well As per Load......AVR Type Generator Stabalize Your Voltage And Hertz In Nominal Range...

You Can Verify That With Multi-Meter........! But Keep In Mind You Have Extra Watts left Unused As When Your GPU Kicks Inn.....It Will Suck Your WATTS Like Anything......So Keep A Good Spare Watts In Extra For GPU Kick IN + either Switch Off Your Fridge/Refrigerator Or Mark It On Full So It Never Trips On/Off..........

If It Trips Off And Then Trips Onn.....The Starting Requirement Of Compressor Can Kill Your Load And Can Possibly Shut Down generator Or Drop Voltages Tooo MUCH
