I bought Gigabyte H61MD2H because his budget was tight but I request you to go for Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H because it's worth for the price

Hope this helps you

And for Gfx Card go for Sapphire HD6670 1GB GDDR5 - 4770 http://www.primeabgb.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=5046&category_id=132&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=53

The Intel i3 3220 performs better than FX4100 so go with that,FX4100 is 6k or so it's as same as i3 3220 so no it's not cheap.Here's the comparison-AnandTech - Bench - CPU
