This Board comes at the cost of $103, does well in overclocking and fairly available(Not in India yet:no: )
 
I will be expecting it here soon though. Foxconn's NF4 mobos are available and selling quite well too. But the price of $103 seems quite high, it will cost like Rs5500~6000 when it comes to India and that means that its way higher than MSI RS480. Overclocking, slightly better graphics will be the only advantage this board will have :(

The price may fall if the stock goes up, reading from this review it says only one online store had this one in the listing and that too out of stock. In India i can find quite a few peoples going for Foxconn mobos, Onboard gfx on NF4 will be a advantage thus increasing the sales of AMD processors as well as this one.

AFAIK only gigabyte motherboards with onboard gfx based on NF4 is available in india.
