Right off the assembly line
My budget was way too low for my expectations in the post below. Here's an updated list of what I think should run at 1080p, 60 fps: System Builder - Ryzen 3 1200 3.1GHz Quad-Core, GeForce GTX 1060 3GB 3GB Mini, 100R ATX Mid Tower - PCPartPicker India Any imporvements/optimisations/suggestions are appreciated 
- What is your budget?
- 50-60K Rs. Can stretch to 65K if necessary.
- What is your existing hardware configuration (component name - component brand and model)
- A slightly modded vaio laptop. Model: vpceh25en.
- RAM- 6 GB (4GB + 2GB sticks)
- GPU, CPU incompatible with Desktop build.
- Which hardware will you be keeping (component name - component brand and model)
- This is entirely speculatory, but I may be able to reuse the 4GB Ram Stick. Don't know the model name/number.
- Which hardware component are you looking to buy (component name). If you have already decided on a configuration then please mention the (component brand and model) as well, this will help us in fine tuning your requirement.
- CPU - Can fulfill same conditions as GPU mentioned below
- Motherboard - any compatible motherboard
- GPU - Anything that can play VR at low-medium settings, can do hobbyist level machine learning, and play normal games at 1440p 60fps 144 Hz. Don't know if all three can be fulfilled for the price.
- PSU - Anything that has sufficient cooling and consistency for sudden power cuts
- Monitor - 144Hz, Gaming-Oriented, easy to clean
- Storage - SSD Ideally. Need total of 1.5TB, SSD + Normal.
- Possible external/extra cooling if necessary.
- Dust is a problem in my room. Besides frequent cleaning, any hardware to prevent this, if not too expensive.
- Low-end gaming keyboard recommendation.
- Is this going to be your final configuration or you would be adding/upgrading a component in near future. If yes then please mention when and which component
- Upgrade in 3-5 years. No changes till then.
- Where will you buy this hardware? (Online/City/TE Dealer)
- Bangalore, India.
- Online (Amazon/Flipkart/Whatever's available).
- Would you consider buying a second hand hardware from the TE market
- Only if it conditions aren't fulfilled by budget.
- What is your intended use for this PC/hardware
- Gaming at 144 Hz, 1440p, 60 fps consistently with normal games for 5 years at High-Ultra for current gen and medium-high for next gen.
- Play VR games at lowest possible settings.
- Browsing
- Host test servers for backend web dev (Think SSH)
- Hobbyist machine learning
- Cryptocurrency mining (not 24X7, occasional hobby)
- Misc Downloads (Movies, Games). Bear in mind my internet is only 4 Mbps, so will be on frequently.
- Do you have any brand preference or dislike? Please name them and the reason for your preference/dislike.
- Amazon's computer components are overpriced; anything will suffice.
- If you will be playing games then which type of games will you be playing?
- Triple-A Action/Adventure/RPGs =Think Witcher, Dragon Age, etc.
- FPS - COD, Battlefield, Paladins, Overwatch, the usual
- MOBAs - A lot of Dota, inevitably
- Strategy - Civ series, RTS Games
- What is your preferred monitor resolution for gaming and normal usage
- Gaming - 1440p, 60 fps, 144 Hz
- Desktop/ General Use- Anything
- Are you looking to overclock?
- Consdering my budget, I almost definitely have to.
- Which operating system do you intend to use with this configuration?
- Windows 10 for DX12 futureproofing, 64 bit
- Linux - Not sure which distribution; Lightweight (Debian, maybe?) or just Ubuntu. Will probably allocate a 60-100 GB partition for it.
