Suggest PC Upgrade Budget 15K

[abhishek007p]

My knowledge of PC config is outdated. built my last PC in 2011 and a lot has changed since then. My existing system is AMD Athlon II X2 260, 4GB DDR3, Nvidia Geforce 210, Asus Mobo.

I want to upgrade my pc, need to replace CPU, GPU, Mobo and RAM. Want to use Windows 7 and 10 dual boot.

Suggest config for me. Preferably an AMD but Intel is also fine.

Budget - 15K for these components.

Too low budget. CPU+Mobo+ram alone will cross 15k mark. Fill the questionnaire.

Lowest end R3 1200 and Pentium G4560 alone are costing 8.5-9k which is absurd. Try to get a used 3/4th gen i5/i7 for that price instead. Even if you increase budget to 25k, I'm not sure if you'll get latest parts at sane prices.

What is your current PSU?

PSU is 500Watts of Enter company. i can increase budget to 20K then.
are APUs good or better go for dedicated CPU and GPU?.
AMD lineup is so confusing, i see on amazon.

Then you also need to replace your PSU with a reliable one.
Current AM4 APUs are based on older architecture. At this point, it makes no sense to get older AMD hardware. G4560 would've been perfect if it wasn't being sold for 50% over the normal price. If you still want to go the AMD route, at the minimum there is R3 1200 and then you'll also have to get a low end GPU (like GT 1030) since Ryzen CPUs don't have integrated GPU.

i can ask relatives in HongKong to get the CPU there prices are very less. in that case which one will be better than G4560

You won't get warranty. Other than that, G4560+B250 Mobo + 4GB DDR4 2400 MHz+ newer CX450 (2017 model) would fit in your budget.

Stock available:
ASUS MOTHERBOARD PRIME B250M-K (INTEL SOCKET 1151/7TH AND 6TH GENERATION CORE SERIES CPU/MAX 32GB DDR4-2400MHZ MEMORY)

Check before buying. I haven't heard about this shop:
Intel® Pentium® Processor G4560(3.50Ghz)
Crucial Ballistix Sport LT White 4GB DDR4 2400MHz Memory Module
Corsair CX 450 W Power Supply

Unfortunate Pentium G4560 only supports Windows 10

Then just use windows 10. I don't know if the OEMs have made drivers for windows 7.
