Ans: 20K + ~5K (if RAM can be done)
3. Planning to overclock?

4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: Win 10
5. How much hard drive / solid-state drive space is needed?
Ans: None, will use existing
6. Do you want to buy a monitor? If yes, please mention the screen size and resolution you prefer. If you already have a monitor and want to reuse it, then do mention the screen size and resolution of the monitor you have.
Ans: No
7. Which components you DON'T want to buy? i.e. which components you already have and plan on reusing?

9. Have you ever built a desktop before? Or, will this be done by an assembler?

11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: Want this config to be flexible so that can add things later like NVMe storage, more RAM .
Was looking into Ryzen 5600 (12K) and a decent motherboard with multiple m2 expansion slots, 4xDIMM slots however, any suggestions are fine as long as are in current budget. May add 16G RAM stick if need to extend budget.
