[QUOTE="abhinav.kr, post: 2494673, member: 119192"] It is not my place to tell you what to spend your money on, but I sincerely suggest lowering your budget as you are bound to make purchasing mistakes with your first PC. I did too, and judging by your post you certainly will. This is in no way meant to discourage you from experiencing the hobby at it's finest, on the contrary it helps build up appreciation. Apart from "gaming" each and every intended use for your PC can be done by a 40k laptop with no hitches. As for gaming itself, you can't play every game under the sun (some are locked to consoles after all ;P) though you must have some titles in mind? Here's a few helpful tips: Each game is a little different, some games are more GPU-bound while some are CPU-Bound, though 99.5% will almost always be GPU-bound on their recommended specs. So ALWAYS prioritize a gpu upgrade over a cpu upgrade. An extra 10k in cpu might add you 5 fps while the same bump a GPU will net you 25. You have no need of buying a 7900X, stick with the R5 7600 (non-X). The X variants are only heat and power hogs. You can overclock all non-X Ryzen CPUs with PBO in 1 click to get 92-97% the performance of their counterparts when needed and have it consume 50-75 less watts of power usage while doing light work. RAM - Get dual sticks, unless your planning on running 128 gigs in the future (again makes no sense to me). Even if dual sticks cost Rs.50-150 more than the single stick the added stability is worth it. The why and how is hidden the nuances of rank and channels would be pretty unnecessary (and I'm not fully brushed up on it either). Just stick with 2 sticks. SSD - I personally strongly recommend WD SSDs from experience. Their WD blue line is pretty much the best bang for buck you can get. WD usually has a better endurance rating than almost any other SSD. Samsung and WD are the only SSDs that have never let me down. CPU Cooler would be a waste of money as well - non-X CPUs come with a stock cooler that can easily handle a non-X 7600. PSU - Get literally anything that says 80+ gold, but make sure it's modular if you're into cable management. Monitors (resolution) - Highly recommend getting a 1440p monitor as your main for a PC of that caliber. Unless you're playing competitive shooters only, I recommend pairing an r5 7600 with a 4070/7800XT or even a 4070 Ti if you can. Keep in mind NVidia GPUs are significantly better in ray tracing heavy workloads like cyberpunk, alan wake 2 and control and have a plethora of tools creative professionals can't live without. Pure rasterization in gaming however, AMD is the better VFM. [/QUOTE]
