For Intel i5 3450 i'd suggest you to get Gigabyte B75M D3H-4.5k OR Intel DH77KC-7.5k,
Hope this helps.
Hey thanks! It did definitely help.
However, I'm a bit weary about the build quality/reliability of these cited motherboards. Though the Giga B75 seems decent, the Intel board with the electrolytic capacitor is giving me the creeps. I do have a budget of 20k for the CPU+MOBO. Given that the 3450 can be had for ~ 11k, I'll still have 9k to spare on the board. I'm looking for Full-ATX, quality, attractive design and most importantly durability. Any better boards i may look into in 9k range?
