71-90K Suggestions for a completely new build with no GPU for work and eventually play

Div

Div

Beginner
So my budget is around 70 to 90k as in the title but ofcourse lower is better
Basically a completely new build
Mainly gonna use it for work atleast until i get a gpu which includes CPU heavy data analysis
So thinking of getting a 7900 processor and 2TB crucial T500 SSD probaly, if any petter suggessions are there do tell
I wil be getting buying it from chennai offline or trustworthy online stores depending on price.
not looking to overclock
So what should i pair it with wrt all components and should i change the components that I selected please do help with that
If any clarifications are required do ask
Not sure if intel is a good option anymore with all of the things going on with them so yeah
The GPU eventually will be probaly 5060ti 16gb maybe but not sure
 
What is your budget?

What is your existing hardware configuration (component name - component brand and model
Basically a completely new build
Which hardware component are you looking to buy (component name). If you have already decided on a configuration then please mention the (component brand and model) as well, this will help us in fine tuning your requirement.
So thinking of getting a 7900 processor and 2TB crucial T500 SSD probaly, if any better suggessions are there do tell
Is this going to be your final configuration or you would be adding/upgrading a component in near future. If yes then please mention when and which component
The GPU eventually will be probaly 5060ti 16gb or 5070 maybe but not sure
Where will you buy this hardware? (Online/City/TE Dealer)
I will be getting buying it from chennai offline or trustworthy online stores depending on price.
What is your intended use for this PC/hardware
Mainly gonna use it for work atleast until i get a gpu which includes CPU heavy data analysis using excel and coding and add other things as required
Do you have any brand preference or dislike? Please name them and the reason for your preference/dislike.
I dont have a good idea on brands since this is my 1st time
Are you looking to overclock?
No
Which operating system do you intend to use with this configuration?
Windows 11

I personally dont have a preference for RGB lights so if they come at the expense of cost rather sacrifice them

I have created a build for around 90k - https://pcpricetracker.in/b/s/ef9a2ce0-cc2c-48cd-bbc7-c0f82b94b838

Do let me know if you have any questions.

Hi thanks for making the build I have a few questions:
1. What price difference makes the 7900 worth it over the 7900x
2. Can I use the 7900 with stock cooler if I get it
3. Should I buy an SSD with Heatsink and is it worth it to pay extra for higher speed SSD and DRAM SSDs
4. Will the aftersales support be decent of all the brands

1. 7900X boost to max possible freq within 95C envelope by default & is slightly better binned than 7900. R9 7900 is more newbie friendly as it won't run at 95C out of the box.
2. No, it is barely usable. For full productivity workload, 7900 will get hot with stock cooler. A 3k cooler like AG620 or CM 620S will do the job.
3. Many mobo have heatsink. It is fine to run it without heatsink if it is not a high end SSD
4. You can get unlucky with any of the major brands in India, sad reality

For productivity, 4060Ti 16GB at 50k can be considered. Not a good value card, but Nvidia will milk you dry for productivity.

Regd. the build posted earlier, it is good but can make a few changes. Can get 7900 instead of 7900X. Change mobo to ATX variant for 3rd M.2 slot + better VRMs, Gigabyte B650 Gaming X AX for 16-17k or call & ask Computech about the Gigabyte B850 EAGLE WIFI stock (18.3k) - with the extra money you pay, you get Gen5 GPU slot & GPU quick release button. Can start with 1x 32GB DDR5 6000MHz CL30 RAM, add 2nd one later. SN580 can be swapped for SN770 & can buy cheaper variant of AG620 cooler.

Thanks for the help on the build I have 2 questions:
1. for the motherboard is it worth it to get b650 aorus elite ax v2 over the Gigabyte B850 EAGLE WIFI considering they should be around the same price point
2. How do I make sure of compatibility for dual channel memory if I buy the rams seprately since I heard something about RAM sticks using different ICs which makes them incompatible for dual channel

1. No, pick B850 Eagle but call Computech & see if they have it in stock before placing the order. Friend ordered it, they didn't have it in stock, had to change to B850 Gaming X WiFi.

2. Buy same RAM stick twice ideally (same freq & timings). Incompatibility issues are very rare. I have seen different size, brand & freq RAMs working fine together.
