M+KB
Which hardware will you be keeping (component name - component brand and model)
All of the above
Which hardware component are you looking to buy (component name). If you have already decided on a configuration then please mention the (component brand and model) as well, this will help us in fine tuning your requirement.
CPU - Ryzen 7600
Motherboard - any compatible motherboard
Memory - 32GB (16x2) 6000 MHz CL36-36-36-96
GPU - RTX 4060Ti
PSU - Anything works, prefer something that is higher wattage for efficiency, min 80+ Bronze
Cabinet - Preferably compact, has a window, good airflow, easy to clean out dust, and combined headphone jack in front IO
Is this going to be your final configuration or you would be adding/upgrading a component in near future. If yes then please mention when and which component
No, planning on keeping it as is for 3-4 years.
Where will you buy this hardware? (Online/City/TE Dealer)
Bengaluru (SP Road)
Open to online purchase
What is your intended use for this PC/hardware
Gaming
Programming (heavy compiles and AI fine-tuning/inference)
Do you have any brand preference or dislike? Please name them and the reason for your preference/dislike.
Probably will stick to nvidia gpus for CUDA
If you will be playing games then which type of games will you be playing?
Don't play too many AAA titles, but want to play Cyberpunk and RDR2 at high framerates and good settings.
Will probably be playing Witcher 4 and GTA VI when they come out for PC
Want to be able to play any game that's out right now at 60-144 fps at high settings (DLSS/Framegen is okay)
What is your preferred monitor resolution for gaming and normal usage
1920x1080
Are you looking to overclock?
Will probably undervolt to save electricity
Which operating system do you intend to use with this configuration?
Linux - openSUSE Tumbleweed
Windows 10 for games (maybe I'll finally move to 11 now lmao)
Moving from a very modest laptop, so anything is a huge jump. I'd like the CPU to be pretty fast multi-core along with single-core; looking for something similar to an Apple M1. GPU should be a little efficient and also powerful to run 1080p games at 60+ fps. 40 series seems like a necessity for framegen and dlss, meaning I can use RT as well(?). I've probably overspeced the PSU for now, and there's a little more space in the budget rn. The only issue is 4070s go for way too much to be a reasonable decision seems like.
Open to all advice, I haven't been following the scene well since before the 30 series released, so my info might be outdated.
Everything is good except the GPU & Cabinet as 8GB for the GPU is not enough in 2025 onwards for gaming so going with Asrock RX 7700XT 12GB @ 40k & Lian Li lancool 215 ARGB Cabinet @ 5.6k are best I think. Link: ASROCK RX 7700 XT Challenger OC 12GB & LIAN LI Lancool 215 ARGB.
Keeping in view you have 1lac as your budget.
118442 (if you try to find deals and be patient you could get this close to 1.1 lakh and if you opt for a used gpu with about 1-2 years of warranty then easily under 1 lakh )
The motherboard is much better and will be able to handle overclocking and higher power upgrades easily. If CUDA is necessary then buying anything less than the 4070 in terms of performance is not a good idea especially since you are spending so much and are also planning to keep the build the same for the next 3 years and seeing as how close the 4070 super is in terms of pricing while offering about 20% better performance it is a better value when compare to the vanilla 4070. The A750GL is a great PSU and is cheaper than the one you picked. The Lancool 215 at 5.6k is an amazing value especially considering the quality of the case and if you are adamant on getting a black case I would suggest the Deepcool Matrexx 55 mesh V4C/V4, it is a good case with 4 pre installed PWM fans. Try and go 6000 CL30 as it is not much more expensive and is the sweet spot for the squeezing the best performance out of the AM5 platform. The P3 Plus is a DRAM-less SSD with a much worse endurance rating than the SN770 which is only 1k more so that is a much better choice. You can choose to use the box cooler but the AG400 is a great cooler for its price and will help keep the temps down for more longevity on the CPU + you can sell the box cooler separately and make some money back.
Spending 18k over a set budget might seem excessive but trust me in the long run, it will be much more worth it. I strongly recommend against going for the 4060Ti as it is way overprice for the kind of performance it offers and especially the amount of VRAM it packs. You could also look on the used market for a 3080 or a 3080Ti to save some extra money while getting about the same performance as a 4070 or a 4070 super, but you will have to be very careful and do your due diligence.
RTX 4060TI gets almost universally panned especially the 8GB variant. NVidia is notoriously stingy with VRAM unfortunately not to mention expensive.
Still if you have to go for an NVidia card then the used market, whether on this forum or elsewhere, is probably the way to go.
RTX 3080 probably goes for around INR 30000 approx used. Might free up your budget to spend elsewhere.
Otherwise try something like below.
