1. Budget & Location: Around 100K INR for hardware, from Bangalore (India).

2. Aim
- Campaign gaming (RPG, FPS, Racing, ex: Witcher, NFS series, MassEffect series, Skyrim, Dragon Age, COD, GTA) and occasional CSGO, EVE Online.
- Work (Virtual Machines, Android/Unity Development as personal hobbies).
- Movies, TV series.

3. Monitors: Single monitor.

4. Peripherals: Included as part of build.

5. Why are you upgrading?: This will be my first PC configuration.

 

Preference will be for the intel build, but AMD suggestions are welcome. Requesting explanation for alternatives.
No plans for overclocking. Wont be bothered if it cannot run everything at extreme setting or highest FPS.

That SSD is only a Sata 3 drive, not NVMe so it will only perform the same as a standard 2.5" ssd. Rest looks fine to me.

Yes, I went for normal SSD instead of NVMe since I'm getting double the storage for same price and I wont be having tasks that can fully take advantage of the NVMe speed.

 

Please correct me if I'm mistaken.
