^ Price difference isn't much so go with Silicon Power nvme drive as it is a TLC one and runs on pcie x4 mode compared to QLC 660p running on pcie x2 mode.

As for monitor, I'm assuming you have a 24" 1080p monitor. It won't be possible to accommodate it in the budget otherwise.

MSI India gave someone on the forum a hard time with their new mobo and even bent their CPU's pin.
Adata has 2-3 "ultimate" labelled sata ssd. None are better than MX500.

Do i really need a Ryzen 5 3600?

 

[Nerevarine]

Going hexacore is going to make it future proof buddy. Hexacores are what Quadcores were 5-6 years ago, now.

This is not instant discount,it is cashback so price will be paid in full at first.You will get 10% cashback(max upto 2500) & extra 5% cashback(no max limit,always on yono amazon offer).

From YONO app amazon offer T&C:

FAQ for extra 5% cashback:
The cashback amount will be credited as amazon pay balance tothe eligible customer's amazon account within 90 days of the eligible transaction

SBI YONO Shopping Festival T&C for 10% extra cashback:
The cashback will be credited in the eligible cardholder's card account by the bank &/or sbi cards & payment services ltd(SBICPSL) on 15th March 2020.

You can go with ryzen 5 3500 for 10k with yono sbi amazon offer.This is the minimum you should go for(hexa core processor with no hyper threading) as below it there are quad cores but price difference is hardly 2-3k & since you already have a graphics card the integrated graphics quad core processors(there are no integrated graphics hexa core ryzen processors) are not of much use to you.

It is.Check the YONO amazon offer page T&C(It is the 1st page after you click on amazon banner inside yono app & before clicking on the shop now link which then takes you to actual amazon site inside YONO app from this page).

I guess i will stick with ryzen 5 3500

 

[whitestar_999]

I checked the T&C,5% cashback offer is available on emi.

10% cashback offer is available with following condition:

cashback offer would not be applicable using sbi debit card emi option.However the cashback is applicable on merchant emi transactions on sbi credit card done at the time of purchase on YSF participating merchant.14%/15% rate of interest is applicable on monthly reducing balance for merchant emi transactions on sbi credit card

Thanks .. thing is that i have to spend nearly 18K on a processor and im not sure if the cashback would be credited .. sometimes there may be a glitch and the cashback might not be credited.
SBI and Amazon have could have provided a coupon code or atleast display a message saying cashback will be credited during checkout.

SBI & ICICI are considered good as far as cashbacks are considered,they may take some time(usually the last day of the mentioned period for getting cashback) but they do give it if you have fulfilled all the T&C. Most important thing to note for this sbi YONO offer is that you must do everything from within YONO app & not doing anything on amazon website/app until you add the products in cart & place the order.If there is some connection failure then do everything from the start(like adding products again to cart after removing any previously added products) within YONO app only.

P.S. This offer is provided by SBI so amazon can't do anything other than the 5% cashback as it will be credited as amazon pay balance.The 10% cashback will be credited directly to bank account by sbi so amazon has nothing to do with it.In fact similar offers from hdfc/icici/axis etc too follow this same model where amazon doesn't display in advance any cashback notification as long as cashback is provided directly by the bank & not amazon(in the form of amazon pay balance).

Another tip: Transfer Rs.2(check your amazon app offers section & send money section(select any contact/upi id for sending money & all applicable offers will automatically show up) from amazon upi to any upi id & you will unlock a rs.100 off on 500 or more shopping order on amazon.

Thanks a lot for the tips.I have ordered the board.Will order the processor soon [Cash Crunch] . Does the Silicon Power SSD support the ASRock Board? Does it have extra PCI Express slot for the Graphics Card?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To support a Silicon Power PCIe SSD, the system must have an M.2 connector with only an M key. The Silicon Power PCIe SSD does not have a B notch and therefore, the B key on the SSD connector will prevent it from being inserted.

Yes, it has 2 m.2 nvme slots and 2 PCIe x16 slots for graphics card (use the top one though).
