R7 7700 for under 21.5k with Axis FK CC (or other CC with 5% CB) + Supercoins (if you have any, can be claimed for few hundred extra discount):

7700 was 25k or lower in Aug-Sep 2024 from what I remember before prices started going up (7800X3D was under 35k back then). It has open box delivery (which is nice), but please be very vigilant when accepting the order, as it is Flipkart (goes without saying).

I have placed an order myself

Upgrading your platform?

Yes, upgrading from i5 12400 + B660M + DDR4 platform. Ordered Gigabyte B850 Gaming X WIFI6E (19.5k) + 2x16GB 6000MHz CL30 RAM (9.1k) from Vedant with SBI cashback CC. With cashback, effective upgrade cost was 48.4k.

Will sell current parts later.

What is your purpose? Thought the i5 12th gen would be good enough for almost everything. Unless you live on the bleeding edge of course.

My guess - He's got a 7900 GRE (previously a 3070) that isn't being used to its full potential. The 12400, as good as it is, is getting a bit long in the tooth for above-budget gaming.

Sure, i5 12400 doesn't bottleneck my 7900GRE by a huge margin in most games but I was planning to upgrade to this year anyways. Was initially considering 9800X3D & was planning to wait, then was considering R5 7600, then this R7 7700 deal made me just go ahead with purchase now.

I expect biggest improvement in CoD BO6 where avg fps is 130fps with 1% low above 90fps. Apparantly my GPU can push 180fps.
