Intel -> Pro: Cheaper, decent feature set (4 RAM Slot, HDMI, USB 3.0, SATA 6Gbps) Cons: Electrolytic caps used for majority of the board(Only CPU VRM solid caps), Okish build
Gigabyte -> Pros: Same/slightly feature set, better build and all solid caps, better layout Cons -> Pricey

Further simplifying what DA says, Better capacitors = Longer life = Less opportunities to run towards service centres.
IMO the extra 2k is worth the money (justifiable atleast) for a decent 2 year hassle free experience.

In my case, I spent the maximum money on my motherboard, since the previous rig I had sad caps which kept failing me and had to do a lot of trips to SP road :|
 
Thanks guys for the suggestion.

finally i m going with the following config

Proccy - Intel Core i5 2500
Mobo - ASUS P8H67-M PRO B3 Revision
RAM - 2*CORSAIR XMS3 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 SDRAM 1333
GPU - Sapphire HD5770 1GB GDDR5
SMPS - Corsair VX 450 - 3.4k
Cabinet - CM Elite 310 ~ 1.6k or NZXT Gamma ~ 2.2k (Optional)
So i my choice of mobo good or shall i go for ASUS P8H67-M LE B3 Revision LGA . Also is it advisable to for this rams, CORSAIR 2GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333.

Unless you need 4 RAM slots better stick with the 'LE' No point in getting a H67 Pro! Yeah the Corsair Value RAM 1333MHz are pretty good. If XMS3 then go for the 1600MHz kit.

Asus MotherBoard - P8H67-M LE (Sandy Bridge) - www.deltapage.com

Asus P8H67M-LE is available for as low as 5.8k in Chennai! (6.2k-6.5k elsewhere AFAIK. So try to bargain hard with this as reference)
 
Here is the final config

Proccy - Intel Core i5 2500 10.32k

Mobo - ASUS P8H67-M B3 Revision LGA 1155 7.3k since the need for 4 ram slots.

RAM - 4*CORSAIR 2GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 4.2k will this work with the mobo

GPU - Sapphire HD5770 1GB GDDR5

SMPS - Corsair VX 450 - 3.4k

Cabinet - NZXT Gamma ~ 2.2k

When you are spending so much i would suggest you send Rs.700 more and go for the one with USB 3.0 unless you can't afford even Re.1 more than your budget.
