Out of all these H87 mobo which is better ------------ Asus H87I-Plus Motherboard ------------ MSI H87M-G43 Motherboard ------------ Intel DH87RL 4th Gen Motherboard ------------ Gigabyte H87M-D3H Motherboard ------------ ASRock H87 Pro4 Motherboard ------------ Gigabyte H87 -D3H Motherboard ------------ Intel DH87MC 4th Gen Motherboard
 
Some are full-size, some are MicroATX (abbreviated mATX or uATX), and one is MiniITX (mITX). MiniITX is tiny, with just one expansion slot. MicroATX offers up to 4, and full-size up to 7. If building a normal PC, there's no good reason to buy a MiniITX board.

Which is better, that you actually asked, is a tougher question. It depends a lot on cases you have available, and the costs. Several of those might end up not worth choosing between by anything but cost, if your needs are sufficiently simple (they're a little different from each other, but for that to matter, you have to have some relevant needs or preferences).
 
You can rule out Intel and mini-ITX boards altogether as they are typically more expensive with respect to features offered. That leaves:

MSI H87M-G43 - microATX
Gigabyte H87M-D3H - microATX
ASRock H87 Pro4 - ATX
Gigabyte H87-D3H - ATX

The boards have almost identical specifications. Main differences are the form factors, and the fact that the Asrock board has Intel LAN (slightly better though I can't prove it 😛) and lacks heat sinks (shouldn't really matter). First pick the form factor, then go with the cheaper option
 
Gigabyte H87M-D3H Motherboard --- After doing further study from all useful comments ATX seem for overclockers and more expandibilty but this micro ATX seem Sufficient well MSI doesn't have HDMI port thats why I discarded it!!!!!!!!! So, What are your thoughts on this & If this seem OK can you recommend me a GOOD cabinet case with this MOBO i think mid tower seem Ok so Any such case in mind or anyone else plz Do recommend
 
In your "$1000" budget, did you do a straight conversion from INR to USD or did you apply a further compensating factor? Actually, even better would be to state your budget in INR.
 
Um..more like 50 Rupees = 1 Dollar. So 50000 Rupees !(Now 1$ =65+)....................... The time I thought for buying rig was like 1-1.5 month back at at that time but I was total newb so it took me a while to get all knowledge on Internet................At this time after having all knowledge and making a list I am at now 36100 excluding monitor,case, heatsink,GPU(which I am thinking to wait as my friend said to wait for AMD's 8 series) .......................................My uncle is saying me to take his computer which is 2011 model with good specs so If I get short on money then I'll use his monitor and case(kinda OK condition) or RAM etc. for time I have sufficient money to go for a new one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!But Pro is one for all And I want to buy one so going for only parts which is neccesary with it! ....................... One thing my power requirement seem 500 but for a more price of Rs 250(~5$) I can get its 600W one so should I buy it or no???
 
50000 Is max. 36100 is so far components I chose cost xcluding Case,Monitor,Heatsink GPU! Plz give me some advice on Heatsink and case
