[TechnoBOY]

1. What is the purpose of the computer? What all applications and games are you going to run? (Be exact. Which games? Which applications? Avoid the word 'et cetera.' Vague answers like 'gaming' or 'office work' will not work.)
Ans: Work and later add a GPU for games like rdr2,F1,Forza etc.

2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then please mention.
Ans: It should be under 80K without GPU.

3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: NO

4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: Windows 11 and Ubuntu 22.04

5. How much hard drive / solid-state drive space is needed?

Ans: NO

7. Which components you DON'T want to buy? i.e. which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: Need all components

8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: ASAP

9. Have you ever built a desktop before? Or, will this be done by an assembler?

Should be good for mix of gaming & productivity. For pure gaming, I'd prefer AMD's latest CPUs over this. Visit Ankit Infotech (PCStudio) at SP Road, check their prices online.

Go for AMD build at the similar budget. Way better than Intel's offerings. An AMD Ryzen 5 7600x is my suggestion along with suitable motherboard.

Even an older Ryzen 7 5700x or 5600x would do it for you

The i5 14500 will outperform R7 7700X on multicore productivity work but is on a dead platform. But 7700X is better in single core load. So R5 7600 will be even worse.

your post has benchmark of 13500

here are a few benchmark of 14500 and 7700x which is slower (as per you):

My point was that R7 7700X doesn't beat i5 13500 on all fronts for productivity, so how can an R5 7600 do it? Again, for gaming only, I will easily recommend 7600 over 14500.

Also stay away from such websites, many times its useless. Geekbench numbers are good to have but no idea if they even tested it & I don't even want to think about what other 2 metrics are.

I don't know about hardware unboxed's graphs, which you are quoting, but AM5 is far from a dead platform. Here's a little bit of information for those who want it

I know AM5 will live for a few years, hence my preference for R5 7600 for gamers. But for productivity, 7700X costs more than i5 14500, almost at 14600K price whereas R5 7600 is a bit cheaper than 14500 but productivity performance difference is apparent. I did mention that it is on a dead platform but you buy something based on what you get now.
