30k is a decent budget actually,you'll be skimping out on gpu power but if those really are the only games you want to play, it's more than adequate.
Look into used, without a doubt. I built my current pc out of old hand me down parts, a xeon aliexpress cpu, an erodov (before it went down) asus rog rx570, and an 8gb ddr3 ram stick for about 19k. Damn thing still works and will continue to do so until it dies. Also gave me a brilliant oppurtunity to learn video editing that has given my student ass a nice sidejob during the vacations..

A deal like this would have been great, maybe a better mobo like a b450 would have sweetened it even more
CPU - amd Ryzen 5 3600
Flipkart Link / amd Ryzen 3 3200 /
Amazon Link (I7 3rd gen)
Don't even consider the i7 3rd gen, that is utterly ancient now and I know that because I'm still running it. I suppose a ryzen 5 3600 is the min you should get imo. Other members may chip in as well, if I recall right, certain i3 chips of the latest gens can compete with older midrange cpus now.
@OMEGA44-XT might know more about this
I don't think you'll need anything that beefy really looking at what you want to play (and that's assuming these are your definite genres/games). Just that imo it should be stronger than an rx570 or 1650 but not reaching rtx 3060 levels (if anything I'm saying makes any sense to anyone lol).
Yes, I would like to slowly upgrade it in the future.
How sure are you on this? If you believe that down the line you might upgrade the gpu to something else far more powerful (say an rtx 3070), then it would be better to spend the cash now on a system that will not bottleneck that future upgrade. And to what extent?
I wish I could help you out a bit further but I'm just too out of date with PC hardware these days. Not that I'm too old that I can't understand stuff anymore, I just stop following prices and news once I finish my objective for doing so. The other members can help you out, but it is possible to build a great pc for a budget, you just need to have loads of patience and to always lookout for used deals. Check used pc part facebook groups as well, it used to be just zoukart and a few other groups before but that was ages back (pre covid), ask around and see what's the current prices on stuff. Do your own research too on what the best bang for your buck will be, sincerely speaking, not that many people here will just help you constantly unless you also do some work.
Wouldn't suggest a gaming console at your budget, usually people who can own consoles and afford to splash 4k+ on every game can afford to buy a gaming pc above 50k. I believe if you could, you would buy a ps5 as well.
