PC build under 25k budget

TSolanki

Broken In
I want to build a pc under a budget of 25k. For the time being, i will not be gaming and will use it for basic things like web browsing and all.

But in future, i will plan to add a graphic card to it (within 10k to 15k budget) to make it good for gaming as well. So, the current build should be capable of getting the best from such graphic card.

Keeping this into consideration, please suggest a quality build which i can use for 6-7 yrs or more.

As i dont have plan for GPU as of now, the cpu should have integrated graphics.

I already have monitor, mouse and keyboard and not planning to change it as of now.

For the components, please suggest some good online dealers as well.

Thanks!

I thought you don't have budget until I read you already have a monitor.
But still this suggestion gonna overshoot your budget by few thousands. And skipping HDD in favour of SSD.
i3 10100 + H410 + 8GB RAM + 450w Bronze rated PSU + 250GB SSD + Generic cabinet

This is little better wrt to cpu and igpu and costs little more, about 30k
4350G + A520 + 8GB RAM + 450w Bronze rated PSU + 250GB SSD + Generic cabinet

Will the above configuration suggested by you be good enough for the graphic card in 10-15k range ? It will be good if you can suggest a graphic card too for that.

Also, i am little bit confused between the processors i3 10100 and 4350g.

please help with the below things as well:
- ram model, frequency and cas latency.
- PSU model number
- Mobo model number
- does the processor come with heat sink cooler?

Yeah, they are good enough for a 15k GPU.
Which one you think you're gonna go, AMD or Intel? And BTW, when you're planning to buy?
- If you with AMD, for higher frequency as much as your budget allows. At least 3200mhz. If Intel, get at least 2666mhz.
- Corsair CX450 or CV450 or CM MWE Bronze v2. Here mostly suggest to get corsair, but you have very small budget.
- Yes, CPU comes with cooler.

No plan for GPU as of now. Just concerned about if the current build will accomodate that or not. We can shortlist that later.

With which processor (intel or AMD) should i go? Don't have much idea about it. If you can suggest which one is better, that will be helpful. Mainly it should be good for long run, easy to upgrade (processor upgrade) with the same setup.

Yeah, I got that from the original post.
Of course, when you thinking of buying one, post a new thread for that.

That depends, whether you're ready to spend more or not. The AMD is better and also pricier.
Whatever you pick, it will be good for long run. What kinda upgrade you're talking about? If you're thinking about top of the line CPU, the base model board wouldn't be advised.

You better fill the questionnaire.

Good to go with i3 10100 as of now. Please help with model number and brands for the below :

- mobo (which brand to buy and model no.)
- ram ( model number and brand)
- SSD (model number and brand)

PSU : corsair cx450 i have finalised.
HDD : i have seagate 500gb hdd from old build, will be using that too along with sdd.
 
Get at least i3 10100 based rig as suggested earlier.

CPU - Intel i3 10100 - 9.9k

Mobo - MSI H410M Pro-VH - 5.6k (it has M.2 SSD slot)

RAM - 1x8GB DDR4 2666+MHz - 2.3k*

GPU - Integrated

SSD - Kingston A400 120GB 2.5″ - 1.8k

HDD - WD/Seagate 1TB 7200RPM - 3.2k

PSU - Corsair CX550/CM MWE 550 or other 80+ Bronze - 4.5k

Cabinet - Corsair SPEC 05 or other mid tower ATX - 3k

Total - 30.3k

*Get 2666MHz RAM but sometimes higher freq RAM is cheaper. Say a 3000MHz RAM will underclock & run at 2666.

Check primeabgb, mdcomputers, theitdepot, vedant computers, onlyssd (online stores as well) for PC parts at a good price, sometimes even amazon.

- mobo (which brand to buy and model no.) - ASUS H410M E
- ram ( model number and brand) - Any popular brand is fine. Hyper X, Corsari Vengeance, G Skill, Adata 2666mhz or higher.
- SSD (model number and brand) - Crucial MX500 250GB

Intel CPUs with budget mobos don't run at more than 2666MHz freq for RAM. So get that cheap Crucial 8GB 2666MHz stick for 2.3k from amazon.

For budget H410s, make sure it has M.2 slot.

For how much are you getting that SP NVMe? Kingston A2000 500GB goes for 5k & is a great value or WD SN550.

CX450 is sufficient for up to 120W GPUs in general, like GTX 1660S. But 500-550W will allow for even 150-180W GPUs to run without issues (in case you decide to get a second hand one or if the successor of 1660S uses more power & you decide to get that). I don't think 15k GPUs will use 150W or more anytime soon though.

For how much are you getting that Antec cabinet? 4 fans are great to have with its only con being lack of meshed front. but your PC isn't high end, so should be fine. It's fine for 3.5k or so, but better options present at 4.5-5k, like MSI MAG Forge 100M. Deepcool Mattrexx 55 Mesh with 4 fans cost 5.5k or 3.5k w/o fans.

- getting this adata ddr4 3000MHz ram @2400rs. should i go with 2666 MHz within same price range?

- ASUS 410M E mobo has M.2 slot (1 x M Key 2242, 2260, 2280 (PCIe 3.0 x2, SATA III)). Will 3x4 PCIe SSD compatible for this mobo?
Also, will this mobo support M.2 NVME SSD or not?

- SP NVME i am getting for 5k. Should i go with kingston as u suggested within same price range?

- Planning for only 10k-15k budget gpu in future. So CX450 seems fine. Any benefit of getting 550w?

- Antec cabinet for 3650 rs. Suggest if good to go with the others u suggested.

I have one doubt, whether ASUS 410M E mobo support M.2 NVME SSD or not? It has M.2 slot (1 x M Key 2242, 2260, 2280 (PCIe 3.0 x2, SATA III)). Also, Will 3x4 PCIe SSD compatible for this mobo?

No point getting 3000MHz as you can't use 3000MHz freq nor can you change timings (most likely).

PCIe 3.0 x4 SSDs won't run at full speed, but only top end ones like Samsung 970 Evo, Adata SX8200Pro, WD Black etc. The bandwidth should be sufficient for slower NVMes like A2000, SN550 or even the SP one.

550W just gives more headroom, as I mentioned earlier. That's it, otherwise CX450 is great.

3.6k is fine for that Antec one but some sellers were selling it for 3.5k.

Will it be good choice to take "MSI H410M PRO-VH mATX Motherboard" Rather than ASUS H410M?
MSI got M.2 3.0x4 NVME ssd support i think.
Also, read somewhere that we need to make sure that BIOS should support nvme for os installation.
Will this MSI mobo fulfill these things?

That MSI one was mentioned in my initial response.

Not sure about BIOS support stuff, search more about it. Usually, that's not the case.

Shortlisting MSI H410M PRO-VH mATX Motherboard. As suggested earlier, "Kingston 500GB A2000 M.2 2280 Nvme Internal SSD PCIe Up to 2000MB/S (SA2000M8/500G)" will be compatible with this mobo. Correct?

Also, Shortlisted some RAMs with 2666Mhz, please suggest which is good to consider :

Crucial Basics 8GB DDR4 1.2v 2666Mhz CL19 UDIMM RAM for 2265/-

HyperX Fury 8GB 2666MHz DDR4 CL16 DIMM 1Rx8 Black XMP Desktop Memory (HX426C16FB3/8) for 2748/-

ADATA XPG GAMMIX D10 Memory DDR4 RAM 2666MHz for Desktop (8 GB) for 2808/-

Yes, A2000 should work.

CL16 vs CL19 gives a small performance jump, but at most 2-3%. Dual channel RAM (2 sticks) provides a bigger performance jump, so add another stick later & you should be good.
