while it is generally a good idea to look at the local market prices you should anyways have done this calculations ahead of time.
 
This is what you would usually call a business plan, how much does it cost to keep the store open, how much money do i need for myself and how much do you need to buy new products.
you need to have enough margin on each sale that you can more than cover your expenses at whatever rate you are selling products.
 
you can either archive this by pushing low prices and selling many products which is something small stores usually can not do or you can go for higher prices and know you will not get some sales because people buy elsewhere.

Prices fluctuate all the time especially if you look online. I get that pricing your items is hard because of that but you should try to adjust prices as often as possible if you are selling online. If you are more of a walk in store you can keep your prices more rigid as people probably will not compare online when they need something right now.
Large internet stores have scripts for that

I agree to @Firewrath9 you should probably take a look at the local market. If you find something for cheaper than usual then calculate the delta (Difference in prices) and divide it by 2. I don't know much about India, but it works for me in Europe. 
 

You have to know your market and cater to your demographic that you want to reach. India is much different then North America. I am not sure if playing games all day is a thing in India or not. You should try and get contracts with companies and get your foot in the door with rich people. Again its a cultural thing too.

Set up social media accounts for your computer store. Facbeook, twitter, Instagram, and any other local popular social media platforms. Post updates on a regular basis even if it's just sharing a photo of whatever latest system you've built, new stock you got in, or photo of you doing repairs on a system. Also gives you a good platform to advertise specials and your services.
If you're building PCs on a regular basis, if you have the time and resources maybe even start out live streaming building the PC on Twitch/Youtube. As you're building you can regularly mention that the system you're building will be available for sale in your store and links to your website/facebook are in the description. India appears to be quite interested in the tech community, especially on platforms like YouTube, so if you get a strong following on social media you can probably expect that to flow in to building up a good reputation with customers.
You could even do quick videos reviewing the product that you're stocking and showcasing the products a bit. Linus started out his Youtube career doing such videos at a major Canadian computer retailer, NCIX.

Identify your target customers first! Check what kind of people live around your shop territory. Then identify what kind of computer parts and computers they do buy, Discus this, with any other computer store owner that what kind of things are trending in the market which can be sold easily, The common peripheral devices can be sold easily. but other components like Ram, Hard drives, CPU and GPU parts should be those which are in trend and everyone using on that time. 

Repeat business is probably going to make or break it for you. Make sure you offer services such as PC repairs as they will give you a lot of business through the repair service, replacement parts, and even potentially the customer buying an entirely new machine from you. If a customer comes in with a broken PC and wants to buy a new system, you could then offer them a small discount on a new machine if you get to keep their old machine, which you could then fix and sell as a budget refurbished option to someone else who wants a cheap 2nd hand PC, or take parts out of to use in repairs of other systems. How much of a discount you offer on the new system will depend on what the old system is worth and how much you think you could flip it for or part it out for.
 
As for what parts to stock, you're pretty safe with stuff like PSUs, RAM, SSDs/HDDs, and cases, as they have relatively long life cycles of compatibility.
Motherboards and CPUs, and to some extent GPUs, all have a shorter life cycle, so be careful you don't over-order on those parts or else you may be stuck trying to sell older 6700ks and 7700ks when everyone wants an 8700k. If you find yourself in that situation with last gen CPUs/Mobos, just use them in Prebuilt machines and most people buying a prebuilt won't care which gen it is (or even know).
 
Accessories can be a good way to make money with things like keyboards, mice, speakers, headsets, power strips, HDMI cables, SATA cables, etc.

pretty much do Linus`s idea of doing a small stock house with the most popular comboes and do bang for buck at certain pricepoints. 
 
how are your skills within high end custom systems? you might be able to do custom orders for higher margins
 
 
its going to be hard to start the shop and you need to as quickly as possible get a supplier willing to give discounts on your orders. 
 
expand the business and hope you get aquired before big businesses take over. the idea is to expand infrastructure in many different towns and provinces. 
 
tl;dr its going to be hard to get big, but you can run quite a nice profit if you have a lack of competition. 
 
edit: infrastructure being everything from shop and employees, but also delivery and supply.

Make sure it has at least 8GB RAM and SSD

If you have the money and just want a good looking laptop with nice specs, then sure, go for it. 

This news is good for gamers.

Wouldn't be so sure. We just effectively banned miners from our store today. Didn't even hear about this until now.

It really isn't 'Fucking Stupid', you're just short sighted.  In the short term, sure, sales are sales as far as nVidia is concerned.  But large companies like this aren't purely operating in the short term, they are running a long game and building their brand names and the recognition of those brands is critical to that.

Mining eating up sales and making GPU units more scarce can and will push consumers to other options.  Since AMD is also getting hit, the most likely move is to NOT upgrade at all.  This leads to game devs considering 'the state of the market's hardware' and if it's been stunted, they won't develop games to better utilize next generation hardware because too few are buying into that hardware.  So a year or two from now you could have your flagship 'GTX 1180' or 'GTX 1280' that too few own.  So now you have the demand from mining dropping off and consumers are like 'Should I upgrade to the NEW GPU now that it's affordable?' and so many people and tech channels and everything else will be all 'Probably not, game GPU demand has patented for three years.  Your 3 year old GPU is basically just as good as it was new.  Maybe wait another year for devs to get more aggressive again?'  A scenario like that, in the long term, is BAD for the plan.  ...You just have to think beyond 'right now' before you declare it 'fucking stupid'.

Not been here in a while, dumping some Elite Dangerous screenshots

Finally finished the main game after being badly interrupted by CPU's death Normally I write something about the game but I don't think there is much need for introduction this time. The scale and complexity of the game, storyline, support for basically anything... This is the pinnacle of enthusiast gaming, the only game that delivers so well on major fronts and gives so much freedom to customize the rest at the same time. All major points that you cannot tweak like the story or world construction are greatly developed, providing great baseline, and the rest is up to you with support for basically anything. This is how you develop AAA game, this is the reference. Unfortunately the industry has gone completely opposite way and focused on developing microtransactions and DRMs instead.










 

Hmm. You answered it well. 

I am a poor starving child, plz send RX580s.

Because for some reason there are new crypto currencies that are profitable again.
Last time I check it was around 1,2€ per day profit from GTX 1070, and now I see it climbed back to almost 8€ per day with single GTX 1070 GPU.
 
I'm just waiting for countries to start blocking and making use of those currencies illegal, then we can finally go back to normal GPU stock and prices.

Tell me what linus is doing on my profile picture 

Crypto currency mining

Because Intel is the asshole among the industry, Even Nvidia looks good beside them, at least they keep on introducing new tech, albeit asking for a ton of money.

mobo manufacturers have said they can but intel says no unfortunately

From my experience its corsair and logitech.
Razer has the worst CS.

You should Change your username to corsair or logitech.
 
MX Red arent good for typing because there's no feedback i would go with the G810.

Should only have to send the adapter I'd imagine. Probably wanna try that first.
