Gigabyte B860M K
mATX B860 board for LGA1851 CPUs, DDR5 memory, BIOS Flashback included.
The Gigabyte B860M K sits at ₹8,399, only about ₹450-500 more than the H810 boards I've already covered. For that small premium you jump a whole chipset tier: more PCIe lanes, more USB, and a board that isn't quite so locked down.
Official India stock. Full warranty through the brand's India service network, standard RMA if anything goes wrong.

Gigabyte B860M K Review India: The Cheapest Way Past H810
A B860 Board at H810 Money
Entry-tier B860 boards usually run ₹16,000-20,000 in India, like the Gigabyte B860 Gaming X WIFI6E or ASRock B860M Steel Legend WiFi. The B860M K breaks that pattern entirely. At ₹8,399, it's priced almost exactly where H810 boards like the Gigabyte H810M K DDR5 and MSI Pro H810M-E sit, both around ₹7,900-7,925.
That's a genuinely useful data point for anyone building on a tight budget. B860 gives you more PCIe lanes, better USB allocation, and generally sturdier VRM design than H810, since it's built for boards that might actually see a K-series chip pushed harder. Gigabyte has stripped the B860M K down to basics to hit this price, no WiFi, single M.2, mATX only, but the chipset upgrade itself costs you almost nothing here.
What You're Actually Getting
This is a bare-bones execution of B860: one M.2 slot for your boot NVMe, no onboard WiFi (check the specific listing if wireless matters, Gigabyte sells WiFi and non-WiFi variants across this range), and a basic rear I/O panel. The VRM is a step up from H810-tier boards but still not built for sustained high-wattage loads, this is a board for a Core Ultra 5 245K running at or near stock, not a Core Ultra 9 285K pushed to its limits.
Where it matters most: unlike H810, B860 gives you meaningfully more headroom for adding a discrete GPU alongside NVMe storage without running into lane-sharing compromises, and Gigabyte's BIOS at this tier is straightforward enough for a first build.
India Pricing
₹8,399 at Computech Store. Given how close this sits to H810 pricing, I'd actively recommend checking this board's availability before defaulting to an H810 purchase, the extra ₹450-500 buys you a real chipset upgrade.
Who Should Buy / Who Should Skip
Buy this if you were about to buy an H810 board and can stretch another ₹500, or you want a genuine budget mATX B860 build without paying for WiFi or extra M.2 slots you won't use.
Skip this if you need onboard WiFi or more than one M.2 slot, in which case the Gigabyte B860 Gaming X WIFI6E is worth the jump to ₹19,544.

Questions
Yes, if the price gap holds at ₹450-500. You get a real chipset tier upgrade for almost nothing.
Check the specific listing, Gigabyte sells both WiFi and non-WiFi variants of this board and the base K trim commonly ships without it.
B860 isn't built for the aggressive multiplier overclocking that Z890 supports, but it handles these chips comfortably at stock and light tuning. For serious overclocking headroom, go Z890.
