You mean Ryzen 5 3600?

Just so that you know, GTX 980 has around GTX 1650 level of performance.

Yeah sorry about the missing details, here's the full PC
i5 6600k
Coolermaster cpu cooler
ASUS Z170 Pro Gaming Motherboard
16GB DDR4 RAM 2133MHz
650W Corsair PSU
Asus GTX 980 4GB
Samsung 250 GB SSD


I'm getting all this in 30k, is this a good deal?

I saw somewhere that GTX 980 is faster than 1650, almost equal to 1660.

you can get new cpu+mobo+ram in 30k and have some money to spare for the gpu.

Therefore this 2nd hand deal is not worthwhile.

i3 10100F + H410 + 16GB DDDR4 + 1650S + 250GB NVME + 450W BRONZE PSU + CABINET costs about 42k and it performs about 15-20% better.

You be the judge whether the used ones for 30k is worth comparing to this.
You didn't tell what's your intended use. If it doesn't demand dGPU, you can just opt for non F version and it fits in your budget of 30k.

I intend to use it for gaming. So I'll need a GPU.
I can get the 970 for 9k. Would you suggest that?

How does this sound?
This will increase my budget, but how will it be?

Ryzen 5 3500 13.5k
Asus Prime A4520MA 6k
Corsair Vengence 3000Mhz 16GB RAM 5k
Gigabyte P550B 3.5k
Cabinet 3k

Total comes out to be 31k,
I can add the GPU later for 8-10k.

Edit- If someone can suggest a future proof motherboard ( I can add next gen Ryzen 5), it'll be appreciated

I assume by next gen you mean, Ryzen 5000.

Both B450/550 support (all B450 will get BIOS update soon) Ryzen 3k/5k CPU. B450 is a better option than A520.
Go for dual ram kit, and 3200mhz or higher.
450W is good enough upto 1660Ti.
Ryzen 3500 isn't worth the price, IMO. Ryzen 3100 is a better value option.
Both Ryzen 3100/3500 needs dGPU, you can't skip it. Guess you know that.

Okay! I'll check out Ryzen 3100. Thanks a lot.
What wattage of PSU should I get should I ever dream to Install RTX3060?
Also please suggest a motherboard. If I get Ryzen 3500, can I overclock it?
