Budget 51-70k Moving to desktop after ages - need help building PC


Should be good enough. You can change CPU to i5 12400F if you are buying everthing together & want to save money. You can buy the i5 12400 based rig w/o GPU & buy a used 3060Ti for 16k or 6700XT for 19k, will be a much faster GPU.

I have i5 12400, its stock cooler is not good but will do the job for now. Buy Deepcool AG400 later. Sometimes there are good deals on amazon, especially on CPU, RAM, PSU, cooler, SSD, so do check prices there as well.
 
I suggest you to look for used CPU, RAM and GPU. CPU and RAM rarely malfunction/need warranty, and many RAMs have very long warranty. And the savings are huge when going for 2nd hand GPU. You can get new Mobo, PSU, etc.

There is always someone selling exactly what you need. There are plenty of FB/WA groups. Just be more cautious than TE while dealing there. 3 months ago I got in warranty 5800x for 14k and 2-3 months warranty 6700xt for 18k.

long warranty for RAM (specially Gskill) need Invoice on user name/address/mobile number (you don't know what they will ask/match), else need to escalate issue to higher and may face headache or hardship.. don't know about CPU but may be they too ask Invoice & may match other things too.

Need Cautions at TE too as most of sellers selling old hardware at higher price and some time the deal really didn't lucrative as no warranty on that used h/w.

You won't be able to do gaming or cpu intensive works like editing videos, compiling code, running other heavy workload softwares like blender etc.

This is very much out of touch with reality. 2 of my friends use the same CPU (12400 and 12400F) with stock coolers, both of them play AAA games and esports like Apex (3060ti and 6650xt, both using high refresh rate 1080p monitors), one edits videos using filmora, and they're working perfectly fine across different ambient conditions (Bengaluru and Kolkata). The stock cooler is not great, but your CPU won't catch fire if you keep using it. The cooler will never be a bottleneck during gaming, it might throttle slightly if you're hammering it with all core workloads continuously (long blender renders, video exports for example).

It depends on the area and if you have ac in your room. In Delhi, the summer temps reach above 45 C. Without AC, the cpu would easily reach above 95 C on stock cooler, I am speaking from experience as well. My friend built a pc last summer and had to buy a different cooler, as stock cooler wasn't able to handle it

And Yeah, I wasn't saying the cpu willl catch fire or anything. It would just throttle and you will be loosing performance.

Pretty much everything is really low end, you can probably build one with similar/better parts, new, if you purchase parts during sales. I'd skip it.

Don't buy it, not worth the price.
Also, don't buy any system with Ant Esports/Atom/Zebronics/Circle PSU. They are of the worst quality

IMO it runs fine with day to day work.

Well, it all is very variable.

You can be the first owner, have maintained all the components without any physical/moisture damage or anything else and still your warranty can be denied by the companies on random grounds and there is absolutely nothing you can so about it. That's the sad reality :/
