1. CPU: i5 10400f
2. Motherboard: Gigabyte B460M DS3H, B460 Gaming HD or similar
3. RAM: 16GB DDR4 2666Mhz/2933Mhz/3000Mhz/3200Mhz
4. SSD: 250/500 GB NVMe and 500GB 2.5" SATA. I want Samsung Evo 860/970/WD Blue or Crucial MX500 models. Not interested in QLC or cheap SSD's from Kingston, Adata, HP etc
5. HDD: 2TB WD Blue or similar
6. GPU: I already have the Zotac 1080 Mini in mind though I'm ideally looking for 2060/2070 Super. Worst case scenario I'll go for the RX 580 and not lower. Need warranty.
7. PSU: Not more than 700W. Would prefer a modular one with warranty. Can go for non-modular ones also.
I need official manufacturer's warranty with invoices.

I was planning to build a new gaming PC with Zen 3 and new AMD GPU's but I have changed my mind.
(I'm also thinking of building a secondary gaming PC good enough for 50-60 fps med graphics at 1080p. However this will come only after I build my "primary" gaming/streaming PC. I'll explain it later.)
What I have: I already have a 60Hz monitor and chassis. I need the rest. My preferences are given below:
1. CPU:
i) A fast 6C/12T chip like the R5 3600 or i5 10600 or i7 8700.
ii) i5 10400/f or R5 2600. I'm not interested in X or K model please. I won't OC it.
2. Motherboard:
i) For AMD: MSI B450 Tomahawk or Aorus B450 Elite for its USB ports (it has 8 in the back and the Tomahawk has 5 but has better VRM apparently). Or a simple Gigabyte B450M DS3H will also do.
ii) For Intel: Gigabyte B460 DS3H, B460 Gaming HD or similar.
3. RAM:
i) 16-32GB 3200Mhz (for Ryzen) in dual-channel or quad channel. I need the whole set. I don't want to buy them individually. Also not interested in RGB.
ii) 16GB-32GB 2666Mhz/2933Mhz for Intel.
4. SSD: 250GB Nvme and 500GB-1TB 2.5" SATA. The Nvme is for OS and softwares and the 2.5" is for my cores games. I want Samsung Evo 860/970/WD Blue or Crucial MX500 models. Not interested in QLC or cheap SSD's from Kingston, Adata, HP etc.
5. GPU: I already have the Zotac 1080 Mini in mind though I'm ideally looking for 2060/2070 Super. Worst case scenario I'll go for the RX 580 and not lower. Need warranty.
6. PSU: Not more than 700W. Would prefer a modular one with warranty. Can go for non-modular ones also. Must have warranty.
7. Monitor: 24" 1080p 144Hz. I will need 2 monitors after all. Slim bezels would be nice.
I'm looking to finish building it by year end. Send me your offers via PM. Please understand that I promise no one that I will buy. I will look for the best deals for the parts which I want so I'll still need to choose (if I have any option). Also don't try to jack up your prices.
Now coming back to the other PC which will be used for lower-visual gaming, the parts are rather simple:
1. CPU: 4C/8T or 6C/6T. Worse case scenario a fast i5 4C/4T processor. Not interested in very old AMD Phenom/FX models.
2. Motherboard: Basic compatible board.
3. RAM: 8GB
4. SSD: 120GB 2.5" SATA, WD Blue 1TB EZEX, 2TB EZRX. Again I don't want Crucial BX or cheaper ones from Adata/Kingston/HP etc.
5. Graphics card: RX570 or Nvidia equivalent.
6. Monitor: any 22"-24" in mint condition. Even 60Hz will do.
7. PSU: 500W. I don't want very old/el-cheapo ones.
8. Cabinet: discussion ongoing.
I tried to make it as detailed as possible for clarity. Thanks for looking. Will edit as per necessary.
