Thanks for the recommendation guys.
I have to decided to go with a DDR4 board as there's no point sticking to DDR3 as the ram sticks I have are budget ones anyway.
What do you guys think about MSI B150M PRO-VDH. It's slightly cheaper and has all DDR4 as well? Also there's MSI B150M MORTAR...
Thanks for the recommendation guys!
Can you guys recommend a slightly cheaper motherboard? I can't find these in Mumbai for less than 8k and 6500 under 16k.
My 6 year old Athlon finally gave up so I'm looking to get a new CPU and MB.
Primary purpose is programming but will look into upgrading the GPU later for gaming.
Budget is 20k but may be able to stretch it to 25k if there is a significant bump in performance.
Also my existing build contains...
Thanks for the reply. Sadly that config has 100$ worth of storage which I don't need which means the entire config isn't of much use as I can use that 100$ on better parts.
Don't have a microcenter near me sadly.
First of all, I'm in the US and will be buying the PC from newegg/amazon or maybe go to bestbuy (whichever is cheaper)

Been using mtnl since 2007. As far as connectivity goes it's been really good for me. Very very few disconnections. But in general the quality has gone down gradually. When I got the connection, pings were amazing and streaming was a breeze. Nowadays except youtube, most video sites buffer at...
I haven't played any intensive games yet. The only game I've played is AOE III. Laptop was quite hot when I touched it at the end of the game. I didn't see the exact temps sadly. I'll definitely post them when I play again.
Right now I've had the machine on since 45minutes (surfing only) and...
Thanks and it's pretty good. 1600*900 gives enough room too. Haven't tried any games or HD movies yet but so far it's been good.
Trackpad seems very unresponsive at times. Is this the case for other owners too?
Bought the samsung one today for 58.5k. Haven't used it for any heavy duty work yet. Keyboard seems nice and speakers are damn good. Trackpad's crap though. Unresponsive.
Keyboard is of importance to me as I have to code a fair bit on it. Don't all 15r inspirons have the same keyboard? In that case I can't go with it as I've used my friend's and it's totally crap.
