the processor you will be using is going need Socket LGA 1155 type motherboard, unfortunately the motherboard someone has suggested is LGA 1150 Socket Type which supports 4th gen of Intel processor unlike yours, which is 3 gen intel processor.

the motherboard won't make much difference in your case as you cannot overclock your cpu due to it's locked multiplier. If you are on a budget pc building get a decent board and better graphics card which would not be bottle-necked by your cpu.

Everything is good in your build, just for 1 minor thing you might consider like getting a 1tb instead of 500gb which would just cost you 800RS more. Here is the link for WD 1tb blue: http://www.flipkart.com/wd-blue-wd10ezex-1-tb-internal-hard-drive/p/itmdhgfq4gzp72rw?pid=IHDDHGYBEFGHQRTQ&otracker=from-search&srno=t_3&query=wd+1tb&ref=d40b1800-6581-4f44-9bb4-0b08dbe20734
you will be able to play modern games with medium to high graphics settings with current setup according to your screen resolution.
