You won't be able to upgrade your motherboard without upgrading other parts too. In short, unless you find some ancient motherboard, you will have to upgrade your CPU and RAM as well. If you have a budget, we may be able to help. But you're definitely not just looking for a new motherboard. You're looking for a new CPU and new RAM too. On a budget, an i3 is very powerful; although not with that particular motherboard chipset that you found. Again, if you can put for some kind of budget, we can help you probably. 4GB RAM is sort of okay, but ideally you should have at least 8GB if you're into gaming. You'll likely also need to upgrade your PSU.

Thank you so much. My budget would be around not more than Rs 10000. Just for the motherboard and processor

Well I'm not familiar with your currency, so it's a little tough to help.

not more than $149.32

With such a tiny budget, I'd say you should just save up more. You'd be looking at an APU, if we were doing it in dollars.

Not a build I'd buy myself, really. It's not even completed and still blows the budget, haha. APUs are nice because they have a

CPU and GPU in one unit. But other parts are still needed, as you can see.
