Provide links then.
Should've mentioned it was nvme. :|
Also, does it makes sense to spend 4k for an x2 drive when x4 drives from Silicon Power and Gigabyte cost less?

Gigabyte is a PCIe x 2 and not an X 4 and it's not an SATA.
Edurance rating is low on the Silicon Power NVME.

Edurance rating is low on these cheap drives.
Silicon Power one has double the read write speed but at bit lower endurance (125 TBW, 25 TBW/year) and Gigabyte one has better speed and double endurance (300 TBW, 60TBW/year).
Unless OP is using it as a scratch drive for video editing, he will not cross even 5TBW/year. My current boot ssd has ~1TBW in ~110 days, game drive 660p is at ~940GBW.
PS: His budget was 15-18k. Not sure how he would be able to sell his old components for ~10k.

If he wants a good PC that can last long he has to invest now.

Thanks for the reply,

I believe all these have 3 years warranty !

Is this cpu noisy? My previous AMD CPU was very noisy and sometimes it was unbearable.

Do i need extra fan to cool the CPU or the one comes with package is ok?

Thank you in advance.

Some have more than 3 years warranty(psu 5 years,ram 10 years).

Older days are no more,AMD finally caught up with intel with the release of their ryzen processors in 2017 & currently ryzen 3xxx series processors are better than intel processors overall.Just change the mobo in above suggested config to Buy Gigabyte B450M Gaming at Lowest Price in India - mdcomputers.in (2 ram slots) OR Buy Gigabyte B450M DS3H at Lowest Price in India - mdcomputers.in (4 ram slots)
