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!
 
Are you based in India or abroad? Asking because of the USD mentioned in every build. If you're buying abroad, might be able to suggest better options.

Also, do you have peripherals like monitor and any other components that you would like to reuse or you want the whole build with monitor and GPU under 40k?

The ryzen motherboard itself can last you long and have better upgrade path than b510m.. maybe you can put 5800x3d later on and instantly gain i9 12900k gaming performance
