Just another option for OP to look for,Besides this mobo offers Sata 6 and 3 gbps slots with USB 3.0 ports,1600mhz ram support which is better than H67.

Many thanks Alpha17!

Sorry, I am more or less new to all this (stopped reading about PCs sometime back!). I have a few questions

1) Is the Intel Pentium G620 processor better that i3?
Gaming is not all a requirement. but a seamless web browsing / desktop work experience is needed. Also, this PC wont be upgraded for 4-5 years. So looking at something that is future-ready, yet inexpensive for my budget!

2) Speaker may not be needed. so I can use that up somewhere else!

Thanks again!
 
1.The Intel Pentium G620 is not better than i3.The i3 2100-6.5k performs better than G620 here's comparison-AnandTech - Bench - CPUIf you're not going to upgrade for long time then it's better to invest in i3 2100.
2.You can use the extra money for processor since you have the speakers.Everything else is fine.
