I live in New Delhi. I am to build a gaming PC. The hardware specs that are in my mind are.
CPU: 9800X3D
Motherboard: MSI B650 Gaming Plus WIFI DDR5 AMD Motherboard
GPU: 5070 I want to play games at 1440P resolution.
Display: Any 27-30 inch monitor with 2K display
Is there a place in Delhi from where I can get these items? Or should I order it online? I know Nehru place is the hub of these items. But I have a negative image of the dealers there.
You can go the online route but get it from a list of good sellers. pc price tracker website has the list of most of them with the current availability and price points. However, since you’re getting a full build, I would recommend calling up the individual shop of the website and asking for a full build quote and you can get a discount.
Md computers, vedant, clarion, tlg gaming, prime abgb, pcstudio.in etc from the list are genuine. But remember, they can help you with after sales mainly with information and sometimes can connect you to a manufacturer’s representative- but chances are you still have to submit the part to the manufacturer’s service center on your own.
Five years back I got most of my system from tlg gaming.
9600X + 5070Ti will easily outperform it in 99.9% of games at 1440p resolution while costing less overall.
Mobo - Gigabyte B850 Gaming X WiFi, was under 16k
Monitor - Acer XV272U V3 is great under 15k, grab it ASAP from amazon
SSD - SN7100 is also at a good price on amazon, 6k/10k for 1/2TB
Can use SBI cashback CC to save some money when ordering online.
Your call if you want to spend time at Nehru Place. IMO can buy parts from PrimeABGB, Vedant, MD Computers or PCStudio without issues. Computech is also a trusted shop, just that support won’t be as good in case something goes wrong (rare chance).
You can go to all major brick & mortar stores in SP Road and ask for quotation and buy from the cheapest of them all. This is the only advantage and in case of RMA you can approach them as well.
You can plug a DisplayPort 2.1 cable from your GPU into a DisplayPort 1.2 monitor, and it will work. However, the monitor will only display what it’s capable of, which is DisplayPort 1.2’s maximum resolution and refresh rate.
If you are ok with small form factor gpu, 5070 ti is still available for 77.5k. Gigabyte is running a kill the bill sale and have reduced price on few items. But other 5070ti variants are 85k+, so this should be a good deal. See if you can club it with sbi cashback cc.
