Does gigabyte mobo wear out in1 -2 years...(heard a lot of people sayin.. Just wanted to confirm) I'm roaming in the market now( lamington rd Bombay)

If you get a gigabyte mobo with "ultra durable" (most of their mid/high-end ones), then they should last a good long time. My GA-P35-DS3R (DS3 = durable, R=raid) mobo from 2007 still works great to this day.
 
After i Installed the motherboard drivers, I removed the graphic card and then used an HDMI cable to connect my monitor and the cpu but the icons were out of the screen.. Don't know whats going wrong

Well, that's a new one. Have you verified that the headphone output exists in the mixer, and if set as the default playback device, will not output audio?

Re: monitor: I don't know the exact fix for you, but some monitors have odd HDMI input behaviors, due to HDMI largely being a TV input. Make sure that the resolution is correctly set to the native resolution of your monitor. If not, you need to try overriding that, somehow. If it is correct, then look for overscan/underscan options, somewhere in the OSD menu, and your drivers. I haven't had to deal with it in some time, but, Googling, "hdmi underscan radeon" got plenty of hits, even when trimming the time down.

Edit: it appears some monitors would, with incorrect EDID info, always overscan, so AMD defaulted to always underscanning, if the monitor doesn't underscan (why under/over-scanning didn't die off, with digital connections, is beyond me). *sigh*

(Thanks for your suggestion cerb to look in the driver settings) After going through the display settings, I found the underscan and overscan slider 🙂 and adjusted it accordingly 🙂 Thanks everyone.. All the issues are fixed now!

Excellent! I had no idea on the monitor issue as I've only used the DVI port. Good to know for the future. 🙂

Not significantly. Hold onto what you've got until you can afford a ~24" IPS.
