Hey there,

Something like this would be a huge upgrade:

Really strong 1080p in AAA games, and very good 1440p performance if you go with a 1440p monitor.

Your processor is quite weak.
Look at your motherboard cpu support list to see what is possible:
https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/A320M-A-PRO/support#cpu

Run the cpu-Z bench test on your 1600 and look at the single thread performance.
You should see a score like 412:
https://valid.x86.fr/bench/t2ju2b
Games depend most on the single thread performance of the master thread.

Since you are a ryzen user, it will be easiest for you to stick with ryzen.
There is NO future proofing. Buy what you think you need for the next two years or so.
Past that, prices will change, and your needs may change.

8gb is not enough. 16gb at least, and most will go to 32gb.
Ryzen likes fast ram for performance.
But be careful about compatibility. Pick a ram kit that is explicitly supported for your cpu/mobo combo.


For fast action games, look for a gpu upgrade that is significant.
Perhaps two tiers higher on Tom's gpu hierarchy list:
https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gpu-hierarchy,4388.html

4060 class perhaps.
Since you are now familiar with nvidia gpu and drivers, stick with that.

You did not list the make/model of your psu.
You may need to upgrade your psu to handle a stronger graphics card.

Total - 79.5k

Case, cooler and rams remaining.

Its hard to recommend parts when its not certain they can get the remaining parts with the 20.5k remaining budget, however, with these additions your build is complete;

Ram Gskill 2x16 3600MT/s CL18 - 6.5k
CPU Cooler Deepcool AG620 - 4.1k
Case Corsair 3000D Airflow - 5.65k
Westerndigital BLACK SN770 1TB - 6.4k

The next tier up in performance if you are curious would cost something like this:

AMD Ryzen 5 7600 -19445
Deepcool AG620 - 4090
Gigabyte B650M DS3H - 15555
G.skill Ripjaws S5 32GB 6000 MT/s CL32 - 10100
Asrock AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT Challenger 16GB OC - 51910
Westerndigital BLACK SN770 1TB - 6390
Corsair RM750e - 9615
Corsair 3000D Airflow - 5645

Total - 122,750

You would get roughly 40-55% more graphics performance for about 23% more than your budget. Something to consider

^ I did not include them as i thought OP could reuse some parts from his existing build.

Thanks for your suggestions.

Ant Esports FG850 850 Watt 80 Plus Gold Power Supply (FG850) × 1 ₹6,195.00

Do not skimp on power supply go with one or the Corsair ones mentioned by prior posters.

Amd Ryzen 9 7900X Desktop Processor (Up To 5.6 Ghz) (100-100000589WOF) × 1 ₹37,750.00

This isn't really a good choice if gaming is your thing. You'd be much better off getting a 7800X3D which should cost less and will get better gaming performance in almost everything.

Cooler Master MasterLiquid 360L Core Argb 360mm Cpu Liquid Cooler (Black) (MLW-D36M-A18PZ-R1) × 1 ₹7,990.00

You can save some money here if you drop down to the 7800X3D and get the Deepcool mentioned above.

Asus Prime B650M-A Wifi AM5 MATX Motherboard (PRIME-B650M-A-WIFI) × 1 ₹18,550.00

The prime boards are usually close to bottom barrel and aren't a good value. Check this roundup and you should be able to find better choices around your price point: https://www.techspot.com/review/2699-amd-b650-motherboards/

Don't go with a single stick of ram get a 2x16GB kit.

 

[vivs]

Don't go with a single stick of ram get a 2x16GB kit.

Sure then i will take up 32 x2 = 64 gbs . Will try to future proof at least for 4 years or soo & increase thr budget a bit

 

[Lucky_SLS]

You don't really need 64gb ram. 32gig is more than enough if you don't have other apps open in the background when you game.

@helper800 suggested gskil s5 32gb 6000mhz cl32. It is a good choice.

Get a 2tb Kingston KC3000 ssd if you got the spare money.
