90K+ Planning my first PC - Budget 1.5L

[Iridium]

I'm planning to build my first PC this year.

 

[Dhanush]

What's your budget and use case of it ?

 

[Iridium]

Ah looks like I was quite vague.

I'm going to be using it for gaming and content consumption. Budget of ~1.5L for the tower, but that can change depending on where I can find the most value.

I've created a draft parts list for now, might change depending on GPU prices/availability. Contemplating getting a fractal north case instead for the aesthetics.

I am thinking of waiting for the lancool 217 instead. If anyone has better cabinet suggestions, please share. Bonus points if it looks cool.

850w PSU is overkill for this build if you dont plan on upgrading cpu or gpu in near future, 750w is enough.
Also you can save 1k if you go with 7600 instead of 7600x performance gain is negligible and you can use pbo to stretch 7600 to 7600x performance.

Not in the near future, but when I upgrade in like 5 years, I would have to get a new PSU right? I'm ok with spending money now if it lets me save long-term. Do let me know if it's smarter to get a smaller PSU now though, I might be missing something.

If the current trend of more power for more performance in graphics continues then yes.
I recently built my system with the below specs for around 1.45 lacs:

Basic information that will help with better balancing - What monitor resolution do you play at, and the type of games you play?

If content consumption is in requirement go for nvidia graphics.

IMO this is good. Pay 2k or so extra for Gigabyte B650 Gaming X AX V2 for the 3rd M.2 slot.

I hope RAM is 6000MHz CL30.

As mentioned, 850W is overkill but your call. My i5 12400 + 7900GRE OC (295W) draws under 450W while gaming.

Ideally at 4k.

I only play single player games, would like to try out cyberpunk and upcoming titles like the alters which look a bit graphically intensive.

I also dabble a bit in paradox games, mostly CK3 and Victoria 3. (I'm wondering whether I should get a beefier CPU for these, maybe someone running these on a similar setup can pitch in?)

If content consumption is in requirement go for nvidia graphics.

I just meant watching movies, does the gpu matter at all for that?

They probably mistook content consumption for content editing. Watching movies doesn't really require GPU power.

I'm in a similar boat as you. I'm considering a similar combo for my build, and I do want to play some Paradox games when I build it. However, I don't have an answer for your question.

Waste Of Money.
Don't Build 6 Core processor at 1.50L budget.
There is lots of better option.

Great find, thanks, ordered one for myself. Time for an upgrade

R7 7700 is worth 4k extra over R5 7600 at 17k, but at 25k+, it is a poor value. Gaming performance improvement isn't much, barely 2-5% but extra multicore performance is surely good to have.

Did you receive the right product? I saw a couple of users in FB n reddit being duped by this deal in Flipkart. They received some non-AM5 processor with a 7700 sticker slapped on it. Thankfully, since it was an open box delivery, they rejected it.

It's AM5 7600 or 7700 sticker with an AM5 IHS sticked on top of AM4 5500 or 5600 because they have pins on them. AM5 processor does not have pins on it.
