I want to get a PC for college-level rendering models and playing decent games. I found these two PCs here:

1st one: Total cost 38k INR or 431 USD (including a monitor)

  • Case: Corsair Spec Delta
  • Motherboard: MSI B450M Pro VDH Max
  • Processor: Ryzen 5 3600
  • Graphics Card: Galax GTX 1660S 6GB RAM
  • Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200RPM HDD
  • RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3000MHz (8GB x 2)
  • PSU: Deepcool PK550D
  • Monitor: LG 22-inch (1080p, AMD FreeSync)
  • SSD: Silicon Power 256GB NVMe

---

2nd one: Total cost 35k INR or 404 USD

  • Processor: Ryzen 7 2700X (8 cores, 16 threads)
  • Graphics Card: GTX 1660
  • RAM: 16GB 3200MHz RGB RAM
  • Storage: 128GB SSD
  • PSU: 650W
  • Case: RGB Cabinet (Ant Esports)

---

I found out that the Ryzen 7 2700X is very old for today. Can it help in rendering and playing games like co-op and multiplayer ones? (Not a fan of AAA ultra graphics here.)

PS: I lack enough knowledge about compiling components and checking compatibility to avoid bottlenecks. If these builds are not good based on your advice, then I will go for the following build:

Alternative Build: Total cost 30k INR or 346 USD

  • Processor: Intel i5-10400F
  • RAM: 16GB (8GB x 2)
  • Motherboard: B510M
  • Case: A decent case
  • PSU: 600W
  • SSD: 256GB SSD
  • (Optional): Second-hand GTX 1660 for 7k INR or 80 USD.

HDD is not required right now.

Hope you all will help!
