You don't have to get a new PC for the tasks mentioned. Get a mini PC, which can usually be found for under 20k either in this forum's marketplace or on OLX. It saves space and money and is easy to set up. Even a simple 4c/4t chip is sufficient, like the i3 8100 or i5 4570. Just make sure that...

Most of the phones from each manufacturer around 15k are the same, they only ship with different UI. So it doesn't really matter which phone you're going with. For something with 5G, Poco M6 Pro or Samsung M14/F14 is more than enough. M6 Pro's size can be a con though. G54 has OIS, not a big...

Looks good, especially that RAM. But I'd be surprised if it ran 6400 stock even after multiple memory trainings. Why not consider the mobo purchase as a luxury one and try for an X670 under 25k ? I think it's best if you try with the 6000 CL36 profile as a baseline for a month or so and when...

Congrats, hows the S21 FE holding up? Right now, there's unfortunately no perfect device from android, you end up getting only 75-80% of what you actually expect from a phone in any price range. I'd say that the Nothing Phone 2 and S23 are decently balanced phones but price let's both of them...

No I don't think it should be much of an issue. I helped install an AK400 in my friends PC with an i5 13500, which pulls between 130-140w. I think the 7800X3D pulls about half as much? His Temps hovered around 90 C in a 10 min CB23 run, but it never throttled. This was in one of those cheap Ant...

I've been using an MSI mobo for close to 2 years now, haven't had any problem with it so far. I think the IndianGaming sub reddit would be where you want to look for motherboard RMA experiences. I don't mobo RMA is something you should worry about too much, any mobo that you pick will live well...

Personally, I don't think the 7800X3D is really worth going for, unless you have an unlimited budget. If primary use case is gaming, then the 7600 is plenty sufficient. Especially since you're pairing it with a 3080, the gap in performance between the 7600 and 7800X3D becomes even smaller. Thing...

Ah well, it's to be blamed on the new gen IMCs on the 13600k and poor DDR5 IC configurations. Those memory channels configurations on DDR5 sticks offer twice of bandwidth and speeds as that on DDR4, so having that much bandwidth to a new architecture will definitely cripple performance. A plus...

I wouldn't recommend it, few factors being that it's a new company, so after sales support is definitely a question mark, and questionable durability as well. Based on this video I watched a while back, it seems rather flimsy - . There isn't much special about it either. If it's that 200 MP...

Any PD charger around 500 rs will get the job done. For the power bank, I remember seeing a MI powerbank for 1.5k or so. But see how long the phone goes before purchasing the power bank maybe. Under 40k, I don't think there are good options apart from the ones you mentioned. Nothing Phone 2 or...

Nothing like that will happen. Most Type A USB power banks will limit charging to 10w, that's extremely miniscule to generate sufficient heat to warm up even the enclosure of the power bank, let alone the surroundings. I use a 7 year old power bank right next to my PC to charge my phone, no...

For sister and father, I think Poco F5 should be your best option, since it ticks most of your boxes. There's not many other options on the market which brings good battery life and performance. That bigger display can help in MS Office as well. Consider the Nothing Phone 2 as well, it's another...

I think this is going OT, as OS updates won't matter at all for the intended user in OP's case. As others have suggested, Moto is the only way to go if you want something without ad ware. Other brands' UI come filled with bloat, and if you're fine with deleting and disabling the unnecessary...

That's true, but if you pick your PC parts correctly, then there won't be any difference in longevity between a 3L and a 30k build. Performance is not an issue as well, as you can get a quite powerful build under 80k these days, with a GPU and all. The AM5 route would be better for you then, or...

AMD processors are fine, most of the long term issues mentioned are probably with pre - Zen architecture, like Bulldozer and Excavator. After Zen was introduced, there isn't much of a comparison in 'longevity' between Intel and AMD.

You don't need to spend 1.5L, a 50k budget is plenty enough. Use your existing PSU and HDD if it's in good condition. What's the exact model of your PSU BTW? Rn, Intel doesn't have much VFM chips, so AMD is the better option for now. Choose between AM4 and AM5 socket on AMD as well, AM4 is the...

IMO Poco F5 should be a good all rounder for those who want performance. There are plenty of gcam ports for it as well, so you've got the camera segment covered as well. Iqoo neo 7 pro shouldn't be a better option than the F5, sure you get SD 8+ Gen 1, but the SD 7+ Gen 2 on F5 is already plenty...

4080 + 7800X3D is all you need for 4k. Check zWormz gaming for its benchmarks, he has tested the 4080 extensively in every popular game you could think of. That 50% extra cost over the 4080 doesn't really justify the RTX 4090 IMO, you could put that aside for a future GPU upgrade or something...

You could pick between budget and upgradability. If you're going with budget, then you could build something under 70k and call it a day (Ryzen 5 5600 + RX 7600). Cons of this are you won't be able to upgrade your CPU down the line, maybe to a 16 core 5950X but that's about it. Or you could go...
