i saw someone selling a 12400f at 11K which make such more sense for ur use case. Faster than a 5600x and you can actually get one near that price

12400f retails for as low as 15k...requires a complete overhaul of board/cooling....amd from gen 1 to 5 works on same socket...with appropriate bios...that reflects in the price...so consider that when applying logic.

Logic fails when one's building new from scratch. OP didn't state his current platform so it's presumptuous of you to assume he's already on AM4.
Announced, not released and widely available. Still AM4 is latest and greatest by AMD. It's not old and certainly not obsolete by any means. Don't try undervalue a product to get a cheap price. People can see through that.

I am talking in general..doesnt matter if you are building from new or scratch...quoting low for no warranty products is general logic people seem to follow as op is stating the same. Talking from recent experience.

I think a 12400f new build comes close to or cheaper than a 5600x build for sure. Also any 5000 series CPU should still be in-warranty given that a valid bill is available and the chip is not imported or pulled from OEM system. The CPUs are only 1.5 year old at this point.

Op is mentioning OEM pulled and imported when talking about no warranty...i have bought oem no warranty CPUs although they were about 20-25% cheaper then local counterparts the pricing was based on condition of hardware...anyone selling locally bought hardware with proper invoice will not come close to ops price...on CPUs they are just 20% lesser then new price...if someone is selling cheaper then most likely guy is in need of cash...anyways good luck to op finding chips at those quoted price

I think it will take some more time for price to come down once AM5 starts shipping in next 2-3 months, till then ryzen 5000 is the latest , good luck for your search

Just my two cents. Its going to be a bit of a stretch. You can find 3600 for that amount and even those are going to be hard to come by. As far as an intel build goes, salman hit it on the head about the complete overhaul of the platform and building from scratch. Any which way, best of luck for your search.
Aren't you the same guy looking for used 3080 for 47K?

If ryzen 5 7600X will be insanely faster in all workloads than 5600x and cost around 20k Rs, Your logic of 10k Rs for 5600x works. 7600X may be 30 to 40% faster than 5600X and definitely very expensive. One has to go for new mobo in case of AM5, even cheapest b650 should be expensive, DDR5 memory also expensive too and also has to live with early adapter bugs too(First gen Ryzen got plenty of bugs like memory incompatability, Marginality bug etc).
| Best case AM5 build | Worst case AM5 build | Best case AM4 build(used) | Worst case AM4 build(new) |
| R5 7600X 20k | R5 7600X 25k | R5 5600X 15k | r5 5600X 19k |
| B650 mobo 10k | B650 mobo 10k | B450 mobo 4k | B450 mobo 5.5k |
| 16GB DDR5 10k | 16GB DDR5 10k | 16GB ddr4 4k | 16GB 3200 MHz ddr4 5.5k |
