Ryzen 5, especially the non-APU models, are way outside your budget. If you can slightly extend the budget, a Core i3 8100 / H310 mobo / 8 GB DDR4 / 1 TB HDD could work. Since you don't intend to use it for gaming, consider a pre-built machine like the HP Slimline Desktop - 290-p0055il (costs...

If you're buying the PC exclusively for gaming, I'd recommend a PS4 @ 25k (or Xbone if you prefer MS exclusives) intead of a PC. A lot less hassle. But if you also want to do other stuff with it, a PC might be better, especially if you don't already have a laptop. I use a macbook air (connected...

Exactly which price is too low? They are about the same as what you've quoted! (In fact, I mostly copied it from your post!) Is there any feature in the B360 mobo that the H310 does not offer and the OP actually needs? A 450W PSU should suffice even if a mid-range GPU is added later on. And why...

^ OP doesn't seem too interested in OCing. So, i7 8700 + H310/B360 mobo looks like a better choice. Core i7 8700 - 22.5k H310 mobo - 4.5k (some of these are already out, rest should be out soon. Wait for 2 weeks) 2x8 GB DDR4 RAM - 12.5k 4 TB HDD - 9k Samsung 860 EVO 250 GB SSD - 6k Corsair CX...

PS If you're mostly into mobile app dev / webdev, consider a macbook air. You can do iOS dev work in addition to Android, and it's portable. A lot of people use macbooks as desktops (closed-clamshell mode). But if you're looking for raw power, desktops are the way to go.

If you'll be doing software dev, Linux support is highly desirable. Right now, the AMD Raven Ridge APUs aren't working well in Linux (boot failure, frequent hangs, no display at all, etc.). The situation will hopefully improve in the future, but it's pretty bad in Linux 4.15 (Ubuntu 18.04 will...

There do seem to be a number of effects that Premier can use the GPU for: FAQ: How do I speed up rendering, exporting, or... | Adobe Community Can you (and other premier users here) give us an indication as to what extent a GPU will help? In the absence any further info, this is what I'd...

Check out some adobe premier benchmarks. A few of them do favour intel processors. Premiere Pro CC 2017 AMD Ryzen 7 1700X & 1800X Performance If you don't need a discrete GPU for your workload, the core i5 8400 / i7 8700 make more sense since they have an iGPU. Spending 6k on a weak GT 1030...

Why 2400G with a discrete GPU? Wouldn't a higher-end Ryzen or i5 8400 be better?

If you are willing to wait for a year to buy a dGPU, the 2200G is a great option. But the 2400G is questionable. Bear in mind that you'll need fast memory in dual channel mode (2x4 GB does constrain your upgrade path a bit) to get the most out of the Vega iGPU. The i3 8100 + GT 1030 is only 2k...

Ryzen 2400G is 13k and Core i5 8400 is 13.9k which makes the 6-core i5 a no-brainer, at least for a gaming rig (although cheap mobos for Coffee Lake aren't available yet). The integrated Vega in 2400G will become useless once you get a discrete GPU. CPUs aren't getting much faster these days...

The 2200G offers better value than the 2400G. The extra threads in 2400g does help, but in most games, the iGPU is going to be bandwidth bound, so there'll be little difference between 2200G and 2400G. Buy the 2200G for now. Add a discrete GPU later and upgrade to a 2nd/3rd gen Ryzen a year or...

The Ryzen 3 1200 will soon be replaced by the Ryzen 3 2200G APU which includes Vega 8 integrated graphics. If you want to use the integrated graphics for gaming, RAM bandwidth matters a lot, and 2x4 GB will perform way better than 1x8 GB (likewise, 3200 MHz RAM will be far better for the iGPU...

If small form factor is really important, consider the newly launched Kaby Lake G series which has Intel core i5/i7 processor, RX Vega GPU, and 4 GB HBM2 in one package. The new core i7 NUC will be available for 799$ (other co.s like Gigabyte will likely launch the cheaper i5 variant). Add 8 GB...

GPUs get outdated pretty quickly. Consider using spot instances on AWS. Also, have a look at Hetzner if you want a server 24x7. You get i7 6700k + 64GB RAM + GTX 1080 for 99 euro (~7.5k INR) / month. Dedicated Root Server Hosting - Hetzner Online GmbH I recommend starting with the new nVidia...

It's usually better to let the GPU rather than the TV handle the scaling. The nVidia driver should provide this in case the game doesn't natively support it. If you let the TV handle the scaling, it will likely add some latency. Most TVs already have higher latencies than PC monitors, so adding...

+1 for GTX 1060. Get the 6 GB variant and not the 3 GB one. Modern games are already making use of 4 GB graphics memory even at 1080p [1]. Since you plan on using this rig for a few years, it's important to have enough memory to go with the GPU. Games tend use consoles as baseline, and the PS4...

Don't buy the 3GB variant of the GTX 1060. It won't last very long. Already, games such as Doom and Hitman are utilising more graphics memory causing 3GB GTX 1060 to fare worse than the 4GB GTX 1050Ti even at 1080p resolution[1]. If you can wait till early next year for cheap coffee lake mobos...

At Rs. 6500, the G4560 is really expensive. For comparison, the G4400, which has the same RRP as that of G4560 (64$), is being sold at Rs. 3800! Is it possible to fit a Core i3 8100 in your budget? The mobo might be expensive though, but with four cores, the value proposition is way better...

The price of G4560 seems to have shot up because of high demand, and the B250 is a more expensive mobo than a budget system needs. Put together, this raises the cost by 3k-4k. The h110 is good enough, but you might end up with an old board that needs a BIOS update. As others have mentioned, if...
