You can save money by going with a Ryzen 3600/5500/5600 + b450 motherboard (they go as low as 4.3k brand new). Obviously buying used will be cheaper.

That's not something we can be confident about. When the RTX 30 series first released, no one was seriously worried about the 8GB VRAM on most of the cards. But the sentiment was the opposite by the time the 40 series was released. Things can change quickly.

True. But I never meant for them to buy an older CPU with higher threads. If I was looking to build a PC today which would be used for 8 years, I would pick more than the reasonable minimum of 6 cores. Exactly. We all thought 8GB VRAM wouldn't matter much but it just takes one generation of...

I am not sure a 6T/12C CPU will be good enough for 8 years. You may have to upgrade the CPU sooner than you like. Also what GPU are you aiming for?

Me and my friends were all gold novas and we got invited.

I would pair a Ryzen 7700X with either a RTX 4070 or a 7800XT. The 4070 will have more features for all the non-gaming stuff and will consume a bit less power but the 7800XT will have better gaming performance. DLSS wont be much of a factor since you have mentioned you will be gaming in 1080p...

For a 6 core pcie 4.0 build, you can go with the following. Ryzen 3600 Gigabyte B550M DS3H 450 Watt PSU Deepcool CC560 Case 8 GB 3200Mhz RAM 500GB SSD Any GPU you can afford If you get an used 3600, You can go with a used GTX 1060 or similar. If you go with a new 3600, you can squeeze in a...

Then the AMD cards seem to be the obvious winners. Also dont get anything from Flipkart without Open box delivery (the delivery person opens the package and reveals the GPU before accepting the OTP).

For 4K, the 12GB VRAM could be a serious bottleneck in the future, if it isnt already. For around 75k, you could look at a 6950XT instead. If ray tracing isnt a big requirement, the 16GB VRAM should age better. If you have to go with Nvidia, you can look at used 3090 cards for around 60k. Not...

You can go for a Ryzen 7600 build if its mainly for gaming. I am planning for a similar build for a friend so suggestions are welcome. - Ryzen 5 7600 (Non X comes with a cooler) - 19.5k - Gigabyte B650M Gaming X Wifi- 15.5k - XPG Core reactor 850w - 8.5k - XPG Lancer 16GB DDR5 - 4.5k (You can...

Keep in mind that the 5600G doesnt support PCIe 4.0.

A new 6950XT is around 66k here. You can check out newer comparison videos on youtube to compare it with the 3090.

Would a small PC be out of the question? I have heard that keeping a laptop plugged in all the time isnt good for its battery. I have done this with my Asus ROG Strix laptop but it has an option to limit the max charge to 60% or 80% (this is supposed to be better) and after two years, it...

The 3050 is really bad for the price especially with its 4GB VRAM. Consider this RX 6600M Laptop for around 75k.

Also keep in mind that while the RTX cards would be better at ray tracing, their lower VRAM, in some newer games, can produce worse results than AMD cards with ray tracing in higher resolutions.

I have seen them for around 14-16k. I have seen a couple on Facebook recently. If I cant find one, I will consider those GPUs, thanks. 6700XT is the ideal pick but does the jump from 6600 require a significantly more expensive GPU and maybe a UPS down the line?

Need help putting together a cheap PC for a friend. The PC will be used primarily for games like CSGO and Valorant on 1080p. He is fine with buying used parts and will be building this PC in Bengaluru. Questions What is your budget? 40k to 45K What is your existing hardware configuration...
