You could go as cheap as the i3-9100F but R5 3600 is the best if future upgrades is concerned, just use the same CPU over and over again when the GPU gets swapped out multiple times.

CPU: i7-2600K 4751MHz 1.44V (software) --> 1.47V at the back of the socket Motherboard: Asrock Z77 Extreme4 (BCLK: 103.3MHz) CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 RAM: Adata XPG 2x8GB DDR3 (XMP: 2133MHz 10-11-11-30 CR2, custom: 2203MHz 10-11-10-26 CR1 tRFC:230 tREFI:14000) GPU: Asus GTX 1070 Dual (Super Jetstream vbios, +70(2025-2088MHz)/+400(8.8Gbps)) SSD: Samsung 840 Pro 256GB (main boot drive), Transcend SSD370 128GB PSU: Seasonic X-660 80+ Gold Case: Antec P110 Silent, 5 intakes 1 exhaust Monitor: AOC G2460PF 1080p 144Hz (150Hz max w/ DP, 121Hz max w/ HDMI) TN panel Keyboard: Logitech G610 Orion (Cherry MX Blue) with SteelSeries Apex M260 keycaps Mouse: BenQ Zowie FK1

I was thinking more along the lines of r5 2600 or i5 9400f. Something with just enough performance to not bottleneck it

how are second gen ryzen prices in your country @Narendra5155 ?

 

Here, 2700x is ~30 USD cheaper, than 3600, whereas the 2600x is ~15 USD cheaper than 9400f. If you have similar prices locally, you might even consider any of those..

Life is really challenging. I don't always suceed: )

at those price points the 9400F is the most sensible choice
