Hey everyone,

I'm in the process of selecting parts for a new PC build that will serve as a reliable PC for data analysis tasks. Here's what I'm looking to create:

Approximate Purchase Date: Within the next few weeks

Budget Range: $500-600 (before rebates and shipping)

System Usage in order of importance:
1. Data crunching in Excel
2. Running SQL queries
3. Visualization in PowerBI
4. Some AI/ML work

No gaming or intensive graphical tasks, but I plan to add a high-end GPU like the RTX 4070 in a few months.

Are you buying a monitor?: No, I already have one.

Parts to upgrade: Starting from scratch. I only have a spare 256GB SSD, keyboard, mouse, and monitor. No other components are being reused.

Do you need to buy an OS?: No, I have the OS covered.

Preferred websites for parts:
I'm shopping from Mumbai, so I'll be using local sites like Amazon.in, Flipkart.com, Gameloot.in, and PrimeABGB.

Location: Mumbai, India

Parts preferences:
I'm open to both AMD and Intel CPUs—whatever offers the best value for money.

Overclocking: maybe, optional

SLI or Crossfire: Maybe in the future

Your monitor resolution: Currently WFHD, but considering upgrading to 4K

Additional comments:
I'd like the PSU and case to be able accommodate future upgrades, including a high-end GPU down the line, and a quiet PC would be a bonus.

And most Importantly, why are you upgrading?:
My current PC is quite old and can't keep up with my data analysis and AI tasks.

Thank you all in advance!
