I tried to but I guess I won't be able to stop myself from upgrading, hence this thread.

Suggest the best AMD DDR3 base motherboard and CPU cooler combination in around 10K INR.

Have already bought a AMD Phenom II 925 (2.8GHz, 95W TDP) <<<<------- Go Green :D
The RAM will most probably be 1333MHz, CL7.

Motherboard is of utmost importance and can really compromise on the cooler front. OC options, durability, stability, Crossfire capabilities are important but the most important thing I am looking ATM is the board layout.

My current board is so cramped and putting a CPU cooler have blocked two of the RAM slots. I don't want that to happen again in this new combo.

Anyone with any suggestions will be appreciated.
 
Gigabyte GA-MA790GP-UD4H -> 8.5K

Asus M4A78-E (xfire at 8x) -> 8.4K

Asus M4A785TD-V EVO - Not good for Xfire -> ~7.2K

Cooler

Best Noctua 212 SE ->~3K

Cooler Master Hyper 212 plus -> 2K

785 chipset has Sb710 compared to SB750

Recommending a dual coreover a quad when the world is going quad now, at FULL HD the games prefer two cores only i noe but some perfer four over two like RE5 and many more to come

and apps are also getting quad core optimised

Go for AMD X4 925...or get X4 955 @ 7.9k instead and undervolt it(it's a B.E. too!)
