Parts Advice (will buy when shortage is over)

[iLloyd]

Budget (including currency): Close to 1500USD/110K INR

Country: India

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Premiere Pro, Steam games (can vary from CS:GO to GTA V, just want playable frames), and Minecraft (i'd like to try out the RTX features preferably )

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): Dell Inspiron from 2016 (?) w/ i3-6100u, integrated graphics, and 12GB DDR3 (upgraded from 4GB). I've got a part list I'm looking at: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/K6cQkX [Peripherals included in the 1500USD budget]. I'm looking to buy it whenever the market stabilizes, or whenever I can get my hands on a 3060Ti (lmao). Was thinking of 1080p/144hz, or 1440p/144hz, whichever fits better in the budget
 

Would like advice on which motherboard would be a good balance of future-proofing, VRMs, and just nice to haves
ty in advance

There is no end in sight for chip shortage. Best thing to do is keep on saving if you are planning to buy "when shortage is over".

Welcome to the forums!

Build looks decent, there's only 1 thing though - that B550 board for a 5000 series CPU. Make sure that board has the newest BIOS or else that CPU won't work.

Thanks for the welcome
There's a massive PC parts market near me, I was hoping to buy my parts there, would have the seller flash it for me if the board I settle on doesn't have a handy BIOS flashback button

OK, cool! That would definitely be a good thing to do.
