Should i go for ryzen 5 instead of 3 if i increase budget.
I am inclining towards ryzen 5 2600 as this would help in lightroom performance in exporting edited RAW images to JPEG etc.
Also please suggest from where to buy power supply.
Budget is not strict, Just want to build a sytem which would last some time.
Thanks and regards,
Amit.

Ya will add a low end gpu also. But will it be worth it( ryzen 5 2600 ) or then i5 starts commimg into picture at that budget. That is what i am wondering. Also still not able to find decent psu. I am using seasonic m2 520 watts. Sumthing like that i was looking.

Low end GPU ? GT1030 costs like 6K+ and performs similar to iGPU of Ryzen 5 2400G. At that level, you need to consider if gains are worth after spending 10K extra (Ryzen 5 2400G at 12K vs Ryzen 5 2600 + GT1030 at about 22k or more).

Seasonic is good PSU and you have more than enough capacity for you without GPU. M series is modular one so I wonder what are you looking at ?

You are already good with PSU you only need to decide on cpu/mobo/ram and gpu. If you go with suggested setups or even 2600 ryzen you better off with a 1060 or 1660.[DOUBLEPOST=1551786647][/DOUBLEPOST]For GPU have look at this thread. You should consider the cards here all under good warranty and cheaper than online. You can negotiate further.

No need to sorry! I went through first post again. Fitting all the stuff in 25K is definitely challenge. In that budget you could fit CPU, mobo and RAM with may be some spare amount to spend.

Processor:- Ryzen 5 2600( this i have in mind)
Mobo :- B450 chipset( Msi or gigabyte)
Ram:- 8 gigs Corsair 3000 mhz as suggested above.
SSD:- Samsung evo 860 250 gb.
GPU:- 1060 bought from fellow member.
PSU:- I am lost here! Please suggest a good one, Antec VP650P V2 650w or Corsair CX series CX600 600W. bothe are available in the range of 4800.
Cabinet:- Antec P8 ATX Cabinet

Budget is not 25k fixed can be extended to arround 40~45k.
 
I think you can either check for Seasonic PSU offline or go with above suggested Antec Earthwatts Gold Pro series. From what I have read, OEM/supplier/partner for this series is SeaSonic.

Performance of m2 nvme will be far better & faster than SATA ssd
Click to expand...

Thats akin to telling that a V8/V12 will perform better than a V6, but if wheels are crap, its pointless. I would suggest NVME only for HEDT setups or where their potential will be fully used.

Usually, a SATA SSD retails for much cheaper than a NVME one, plus its more future proof for current gen because not currently everything has NVME.
