What is the purpose of the computer? What all applications and games are you going to run? (Stupid answers like 'gaming' or 'office work' will not work. Be exact. Which games? Which applications? Avoid the word 'et cetera.')
Ans: Running photo and video editing software of adobe and regular everyday use. No fuss for gaming as I own PS4.
I prefer intel chips, asus motherboards

2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans: 50,000 excluding LED Monitor

3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: No.

4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: Windows 10 or Hacintosh (if possible)

5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: 250GB Super Fast chip SSD, 16 gigs RAM

6. Do you want to buy a monitor? If yes, please mention which screen size and resolution do you want. If you already have a monitor and want to reuse it, again mention the size and resolution of monitor you have.
Ans: Yes! It should be beyond 1080p. Very sharp contrast, black levels, less than 4ms rate. I can consider samsung Quantum dot LED costs around 27k I know, I heard it's great alternative of OLED.

7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: UPS and keyboard-mouse.

8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: Within a month

9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans: I know a person who can.

10. Where do you live? Are you buying locally? Are you open to buying stuff from online shops if you don't get locally?
Ans: Online or can go Nehru Place if price difference is big.

11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: I want everything fast! Fast booting, fast loading and editing system. Monitor should be brilliant for colours and contrast. I am big fan of OLED but can not afford so.

Price for monitor is separate. CPU budget is 40k (can be extended) and I guess you suggested me good configuration, only PSU left in this rig. Is there any cheaper motherboard option 9.5k is way beyond my budget.

6 cores Intel chips can run hot especially under load(tasks like photo & video editing) so getting a mobo with VRM cooling is recommended & the cheapest such mobo is from gigabyte that costs ~8.5k so not much difference especially when asus quality is better. You can go with a cheap 6.5k-7k mobo with no VRM cooling but that will most likely result in thermal throttling & shortening of mobo life if processor is under load(say 70-80% for a few hours everyday). Better spend 2k more & get the better mobo.You still have a month to decide.

Bro! As I mentioned I need more than Full HD monitor with amazing blacks and contrast. I can even consider QLED for this.

The monitor you suggested is just 1080p, non HDR and curved. I think curved displays are gimmick. It will be very weird to edit and write documents in a curved monitor. I want a normal flat monitor 1440p at least.

A quick note about HDR :
The lower end HDR monitors are the worst kind of HDR, barely better than SDR after conversion. An example is LG27UK650, which my neighbour bought upon my recommendation and we compared it to my LG27UD68P. The lower end HDR do not follow vesa standard spec and are worse than VESA DisplayHDR400 as they cant even do 400 nits.
So investing in just HDR at this price point is meaningless, the monitor I quoted above is 36k. If you want to go for a good HDR panel, you will need to shell out atleast 50k +.

Second suggestion I'd give you is to not go for Ryzen if you have plans to use hackintosh. Ryzentosh is garbage.

Agreed. If a monitor has HDR capability, look for its peak brightness figures. Anything less than 500 nits is "barely better than SDR" HDR.

HDR monitors are not mainstream yet and getting them now is waste of money also if you want QHD monitor then get this
Buy LENOVO L24Q-10 at Lowest Price in India - www.mdcomputers.in

With saved money replace i5 8400 with i7 87oo

That is significantly a downgrade over LG27UK650.
->Its TN Panel
->Its 300 nits (vs 350, for HDR brightness is most important)

Its cheaper by 6k but for video editing, it would be beneficial to have the 99 % sRGB rating on 27UK650

OOPS I might have confused this thread with another where OP was asking for 4k HDR monitor. This OP isnt interested in high end monitor, he was just querying for a 1080p monitor with the possibility of HDR.
