For mainstream games, built-in Intel® HD Graphics delivers discrete 3-D graphics performance without the added cost and power (or shorter battery life) of a discrete graphics add-in card. Intel has compiled a list of popular games that are playable on 2nd Generation Intel® Core™ Processors with Intel® HD Graphics 3000/2000 and Microsoft Windows 7* 64-bit operating system.
This information is provided solely as a convenience for customers. The list is not intended to be complete or all-inclusive, and is subject to change or revision without notice. If a game does not appear on the compatibility list, it means Intel has not specifically tested the game and is not aware of any issues.
Individual game experience may vary depending on the game application version and computer configuration.

its sad that we dont get AsRock motherboards that easily in India or else i would suggest you a AsRock Extreme 3 Gen3 which is for 130$ USD on in INR that comes to Rs.6,538 so except 1k or 1.5k extra in India
