For someone a 50k rig can be value for money while for another even a 25k rig can be value for money. At least give an upper limit of budget.

Which COD and NFS games? There are old ones which would run smoothly on an iGPU but new ones require decent GPU for good experience.

Don't go for a mobo just because it has wifi and bluetooth.

All latest and upcoming (Modern warfare, BO4 etc )

I am looking for good MB with those features

I am looking for good MB with those features

Why? I mean there are good mobos without bluetooth & wifi & you can always buy usb adapters for these which will not only be portable in size but also versatile in the sense you can use them across multiple devices. Take current lockdown situation for example, my laptop wifi was not working properly but I had a spare usb wifi adapter from my desktop(I got a new better one for my desktop years ago) so I used that for my laptop as an alternative wifi.

Does it mean that MB which are giving these features are not good as compare to those aren't? I am asking because of genuine lack of understanding. I understand I would be paying some price for these features but Im fine with that.

I already have all type of dongles and really want to get rid of them. Using it as a backup is fine, that is what I want to do.

No, usually those boards are priced higher than a comparable board + PCI adapter.

There are BT & WiFi dongles, don't buy MB based on the presence of WiFi.

Also, what's your monitor specs? Its resolution & refresh rate.

There's more to a MB than its "features". In simple terms, like MP of a camera doesn't define its quality, its kind of similar stuff here. Major parameter people consider is VRM quality. Also, brand & other common issues with a MB, if any, are other important parameters to consider.

From which site you have shared this price. I do not see these prices in Amazon or mdcomputers. RTX 2060 Super Mini start at 35, Ryzen 5 at 17 etc.

Other than mdcomputers, check primeabgb, vedantcomputers & theitdepot. Amazon is usually more expensive.

Graphics Card

Is it worth upgrading monitor? My current monitor is BenQ RL2455HM gaming monitor.

Also, are M.2 Internal Solid State Drive worth buying and its price?

Only if you currently have cheapest ssd model & even then I would not suggest it simply because current ssd prices are increased by as much as 40% compared to last year when I might have suggested it.

P.S. m2 ssd are of two types: m2 sata(which is basically just your regular 2.5" ssd without the external covering) & m2 NVMe which is faster & the one to get but difference between a good sata 2.5" ssd like samsung 860 evo or crucial mx500 & cheaper NVMe models is practically negligible for typical user/usage scenario.

Looking at this post: RTX 2060 Super or RTX 2070 Super for mid/high 4K gaming?
I see 5700 is better then 2060S, Any reason not to go for AMD? cost is also equal if not less.

You can get 1080p 144Hz IPS display at 15k these days, so a nice upgrade if you can spend extra, otherwise your 1080p 75Hz TN is fine.

M.2 NVMe SSD prices are increasing, so better wait it out if you have a decent SSD already.

Not just nvme, all ssd prices have increased by as much as 40%. In fact the 120gb kingston A400 which used to sell for ~1500 now cost 2500 which is almost 67% increase!!
