Maybe even a link or two of where you'd be shopping at.

the MB's that can overclock well and game well are NOT the cheapest!
Pick one please: a gaming/overclock MB or a cheap MB

ASUS MAXIMUS V EXTREME, but it's quite expensive.

You need its overclocking capabilities. Still you can go for the cheaper version ASUS MAXIMUS V FORMULA.

Which of the two? Extreme or Formula? Formula is very good too. If Formula is still expensive for you or if it has many unnecessary features have a look to ASUS MAXIMUS V GENE. Maybe it's more suitable for your requirements. Note that it is a microATX motherboard.

If you are shopping local stores in India, you may need to go about your question a different way. Since most of us don't know what is available to you, you may want to go see what is available where you are first. If you aren't sure what available model is the best to go with, you can ask us that way.

I agree with this suggestion .. Have a look around of what's available, then you can post here and we'll help you decide which one is most suitable for your needs.

I am a bit of a fan of MSI now, I got my Z77 GD65 board for a good price locally, and it seems to OC pretty well with a nice feature set. Obviously YMMV, depending on local prices and availability, but I know MSI has been making some pretty nice boards recently; they really went uphill with the start of some of their X58 boards.
