Query regarding buying a computer

Roy3389 · April 25, 2023

Budget (including currency): 600-700$ ( 50K- 60K Indian Rupees) if its lower than 50K then also it would be great

Country: India

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Playing games like GTA and some other future & current games, Browsing, Watching movies, Deploying VM

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): Please need your suggestions. I want a good motherboard that is future-ready not sure if DDR5 RAM with Ryzen 7 CPU is a good choice & if a graphics card can be installed on the above budget but it would be nice, or else at least the motherboard should support graphics card in the future if I intend to buy & install it

Also, I am not sure about which one would be good Intel or Ryzen in processors it's getting a bit confusing on the processor & RAM part. I am also planning to buy it this month or next. I have other components like a Monitor, HDD & accessories

Kindly suggest & share a few different build lists. Please do reply

At $600-700, your options are going to not have DDR5 probably, but you could make a great DDR4 machine.

For GPU, I'd recommend checkig the used market if you want to go higher end.

For that price point I'd suggest something like:

R5 5600 ($125) 10,235

B550 ($90-100) 7,370- 8,190

16gb DDR4 ($60) 4,915

650w PSU ($85-125) 6960-10,235

some no frills case ($50) 4,100

Rx 6600 (*rupee*25,299) amazon.in

Total: about *rupees*58,900-62,975

A word of caution:

If you are buying online from local retailers, use a VPN. I've noticed cookies used to adjust prices based on what you are shopping for and where you are located. And if you look at an item and then come back to it later, it may be marked up a few %.

Hi Ben,

Is Intel better than Ryzen? because I am hearing a lot of negative remarks about Ryzen 7 series. I had AMD Ryzen 5 2400G earlier so for some games I used to use it also I was thinking of Ryzen 7 5700g

Currently, I wanted to purchase a little bit future-proof PC in case I save some money to buy some hardware to upgrade it a little bit. A lot of people say AMD is better than Intel and on the other hand, they say Intel is better than AMD so things get confusing. Can you also please share an intel-based configuration list as well?
