Well I am using Gigabyte G41-M Combo motherboard which has DDR3 support( actually it supports DDR2 also) upto 8GB and costed me around 2.6k. I am using Corsair Value series 4GBx2 1333Mhz DDR3 RAM (Rs.1.3k per stick). Go for this board if you are tight on budget and want a motherboard solely for DDR3 support. I am fully satisfied with this board as I am greatly able to overclock my processor also.

Ordered the same from flipkart they are selling it for 3.2K...no stock of this board in chennai but they shipped the board in 3 hrs flat...thats some fast shipping :scared14:.
 
How about a P43 or P45 boards as suggested in second post.
I guess it supports DDR3 1600 as well.

Not able to find one in Bangalore. New or Used.
