I'm thinking of buying my first desktop, mostly going to use it for productivity, programming, and some gaming in the future. The single biggest concern is being future-proof, and stable.
Also the tag isn't really perfect. Right now all these parts total retail to 70k, so I'm kinda right on the border.
CPU : Ryzen 9 7900
Cooler : Stock for now, but might upgrade later
Power Supply : GIGABYTE GP-P550B 80 Plus Bronze
Case : MSI MAG FORGE 120A AIRFLOW
Motherboard : MSI PRO B650M-P
RAM : Corsair Vengeance 16 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-5200 CL40
SSD : WD Black SN850X 1TB
For the near future, I am not planning to buy a GPU, and later I will probably buy a second hand GPU (budget <40k, will buy based on what is available), or a new RTX 4060. The games I want to play are not that demanding, and I really don't see myself spending anything above 50k for a GPU in the near future.
My main concerns:

The games I want to play are not that demanding, and I really don't see myself spending anything above 50k for a GPU in the near future.
My main concerns:
- The CPU TDP is 65W (since it is the non-X variant), and I plan to use the stock cooler. Is it viable in India in a non-AC room?
- Will the 80 Plus Bronze rated PSU blow up in my face or am I being schizo
- Another option for RAM is Corsair Vengeance 2x16GB 6000Mhz, but this will need me to turn on memory OC for this CPU. Are the crashes that bad that I will have to upgrade my motherboard to the non-P version as well? The non-P variant seems to have better support for higher frequency RAM and memory OC in general. I am mostly buying the P variant because on paper the P variant should also support 6000Mhz sticks, and is 5k cheaper. I don't really see myself needing RAM with higher frequency than that, and in the grander scheme of things (2-3 years) I am perfectly fine if I have to pay 16k for a better motherboard down the line.
- Am I wasting money by buying brand names that I trust for the motherboard, PSU and case? The case seemed to be 1k above the rest of the cases, which did not seem like that bad a deal to me.
- I might have to upgrade my PSU later based on the GPU, but I think as per my plan if I do buy the 4060, would the PSU be able to drive it fine?
- Any other recommendations for GPUs? 4060 seems like the perfect performance to price ratio from my perspective, but if there's something else that I can get more performance out of, but is slightly pricier, I might consider that as well. I've seen people complain about the 8GB VRAM but this is my first GPU so I have no conception of what that means in terms of usability.
