Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc.): Not that rich I have an existing old potato pc which I am thinking of upgrading I currently have a core i3 3240, a 120gb ssd for booting and a gt710(i know it not that much but it was the only one i could afford).

For CPU, I'd suggest: i5 11400

RAM: 8 GB 3200 MHz

Motherboard: b560

I was thinking of choosing between 11400f and 3400g with vega 11 due to there onboard graphics

Well you could definitely if you have the cash for it. By all means go for it, I don't think it will be within 20k rupees tho.

But you can use the gt 710 for graphics until you can get something with a little more oomph like a 1660 or 1660 super.

GT 710 is significantly weaker. Embarrasment of a card.

Vega. Keep in mind only the 11400 will have an igpu, not the 11400f

True, don't get the f series thinking it will have a an igpu. Any processor with an f at the end i.e. i5-11400f or i9-9900kf will not have an igpu.
