Hello Everyone,

I am planning to assemble a gaming PC, which I will be using for gaming, record, edit and convert videos, perhaps streaming as well but maybe in future. Apart from these I am not intend to use this for any other purposes.

I will be playing FPS, Simulation etc. games on this. I am not expecting 4k gaming considering my budget, however if you feel it is doable, please do suggest that as well.

If you can suggest below required hardware please.

  1. Processor
  2. Graphic
  3. Motherboard
  4. RAM

  1. PSU (power supply)
  2. Cabinet
  3. Additional fans
  4. Monitor

My budget is Rs. 60000 ($800), this includes SSD as well. I can add additional $100 if required. Since I live in India, there might be a variation in price. Thank you in advance.

This looks wonderful. Thank you!

I just have two more questions:

1. Case: If you can please suggest any other option? I am not looking for water cooling. A case with enough room and to fit additonal fans.

2. Motherboard: Any other suggestion? I am new to ASRock and was reading few people complaining about it.

3. Additional fans. According to case

Thank you again for all efforts.
 
Sure. Here are 3 of them. Thanks.

P.S.: I have noticed these store has more similar options in power supply, though I am not sure how good they are compare to this build. However the one you suggested is quite good except price difference.
As for the Motherboard, you can go with
Gigabyte B450 DS3H Rs 6703 https://mdcomputers.in/gigabyte-b450m-ds3h.html
OR
ASUS PRIME B450M-A Rs7358 - https://mdcomputers.in/asus-prime-b450m-a.html?search=Ryzen 5&category_id=0

The case is Fine you can add additional fans in the front of the case
 
Chassis - best options under 10,000 Rupees:
ANTEC NX800
DEEPCOOL MATREXX 55 MESH
COOLER MASTER MASTERCASE H500

Motherboards under 10,000 Rupees:
GIGABYTE B450 AORUS ELITE/Gigabyte B450M DS3H/GIGABYTE B450 M GAMING
MSI B450M MORTAR MAX/MSI B450 GAMING PLUS MAX/MSI B450M PRO-VDH MAX

Case fans:
CORSAIR AF SERIES AF120 LED SINGLE PACK CABINET FAN - BLUE
DEEPCOOL CF120 3 IN 1 ARGB CABINET FAN: good value 3 pack, but the downside is the 5V ARGB connection if you want to power the LEDs. That will be missing from most of the cheaper motherboards. The fans will still run without it though.

Power supply alternatives:
ANTEC EA650G EARTHWATTS GOLD PRO 650/ANTEC NE600G ZEN NEO ECO GOLD ZEN 600
COOLER MASTER MWE 550 BRONZE V2
CORSAIR CV SERIES CV650

Hey, thanks a lot for wonderful suggestions. Just a question, will 'Corsair CX (2017) 550 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply' suggested by you will fit in 'DEEPCOOL MATREXX 55 MESH' case?
 

I was reading online about 'Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER 4 GB WINDFORCE OC Video Card' that it needs 6 pin power supply to work efficiently. I have checked online if 'Corsair CX (2017) 550 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply' has it but no information found. If you know if this PSU has this or I have to purchase separate power adapter?
