Budget (including currency): INR 60,000

Country: India

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Basic gaming in 1080p, 60 Hz. Not looking for higher resolutions.

Other details 

I want to build a PC to replace an existing one that refuses to even boot at this point. That system has two hard drives and a CD drive that I would like to retain in my new build.

I am looking to build something for a basic gamer in mind. Not competitive in any way, just explorative gaming. I have only gamed on a PS4 before and Captain Claw on PC (for those who remember it). I need to buy the case and all the components in it. I plan on retaining the existing screen and other peripherals. 

The peripherals I have are an LG 24MP88HV IPS LED monitor, a Logitech K120 keyboard and Logitech M235 mouse.

 

This is my first build and I am looking for parts that will not cause too much trouble to put together and will last me a while. I do not want to put in a graphics card as of right now and am willing to wait to purchase one. But would like to be able to do that in the future whenever I choose to buy one.

 

I am looking to buy all of my components from amazon.in since it is the most reliable platform that I could find in India. I settled on the following parts. Please let me know if these are compatible and a good fit for my needs.

 

Processor: Intel i5 11500 (BX8070811500) - INR 20,890

Motherboard: ASUS TUF Gaming B560M-Plus WiFi with the LGA 1200 socket (‎90MB1770-M0EAY0) - INR 14,400

Power Supply: GIGABYTE GP-P450B 80 Plus Bronze - INR 2,346

RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws V 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4-3200MHz CL16 - INR 6,261

Boot Drive: Crucial P5 Plus 500GB PCIe 4.0 3D NAND NVMe M.2 SSD (CT500P5PSSD8) - INR 8,954

Case: Corsair Carbide Series CC-9011050-WW Mid-Tower - INR 3,258

Total: INR 56,109

 

As I mentioned before, I have a CD drive and 2 hard drives that I need to fit in to this build. I would also like to buy a graphics card when it is available at a reasonable rate in the future (like an RTX 3050). I am not looking for any LED lights or an AIO for now, a stock cooler should suffice as long as the case is okay.

Are the parts I have chosen suitable for my needs? Also, is there a way I can use my old windows license on this new PC?

I would suggest investing more in the PSU. A better quality unit will provide a more stable and longer lived system. If you plan to add a GPU later you will likely need a higher capacity unit.

 

Otherwise the system looks ok. Although an aftermarket cpu cooler would be good.

 

Did you check out pricing of locked 12th gen cpu and motherboards?

 

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

I would go with a 1TB gen 3 drive instead of 500GB gen 4. There is not real world performance difference for the average person.

 

Also go with a nicer PSU, gigabyte ones are a little iffy

I have plenty of storage on my hard disks, so I thought getting a smaller capacity gen 4 drive was probably better. I'll look at gen 3 dives too. 
 

Is Corsair a good brand for PSUs? I was looking at the Corsair CV650 (80 Plus Bronze Certified Non-Modular Power Supply)

12th Gen Processors and chipsets are way out of budget right now, unfortunately. 

For PSU I was looking at the Corsair CV650. Will 650 watts be enough? Also, any recommendations for an economic cooler?

Amazon.in has poor pricing in this area. The i5-12400 is advertised around the same price as the i6-11500.

 

Corsair has some excellent psu. The CV line is not one of them.

 

Use the stock cooler.
