Today
I will be listing PC parts for a Gaming PC build around Rs. 20,000/- for
1080p 30fps+ gaming on low to medium settings in most games.
CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 2200G With Vega 8 Graphics
As
we are limited to a 20k budget here we are going with an APU instead of
a CPU+Discrete GPU Combo. The
Ryzen 3 2200G is the most affordable APU we could find in the market
that fell in our budget on the day of writing. We went for the Ryzen 3
2200G
due to its price to performance consideration compared to a 3200G which
comes in at 1K higher cost accounting for a 14% for 10% performance
gains. The
Ryzen 3 2200G from AMD is a 4 cores and 4 threads CPU
based on the Zen architecture from AMD on a 14nm process and comes with 8
Compute Units of Vega 8 iGPU. It comes with Wraith Stealth Cooler in
the box to
sufficiently cool the APU without having to invest on an
after market cooler.
Buy CPU from Amazon: Alternate recommendation - AMD Ryzen 3 3200G With Vega 8 Graphics
Note: Depending on your budget you can always add a Graphics card of your choice to the build later down the line.
Motherboard: ASRock A320M-HDV
The A320-HDV from ASRock is one of the more affordable A320
Motherboards among the bunch. This motherboard supports ram speeds of up
to 3200MHz which is quite enough
for any entry level to midrange Ryzen CPU. For upgradability purposes,
We would have actually liked to go with a B450 Motherboard but due to
limited budget we had to choose an entry level A320 Motherboard. But if
you can spend extra bucks on the motherboard you can get a B450 4-DIMM
slot Motherboard in the form of Gigabyte B450M DS3H (Click here for pricing).

Buy Motherboard from Amazon: Alternative choice - Gigabyte B450M DS3H (Click here for pricing).We
choose the cheapest 2x4GB dual channel ram kit at speeds equal to or
above 2400MHz and settled on a single stick of 8GB 3200MHz CL16 memory
stick due to the lack
of availability of the cheaper 4GB Ram sticks in India. Also this way
you can upgrade to another 8GB Ram stick with the same specifications in
the future and gain performance from the dual channel ram. At the price
it
is a
good grab. Do remember to
enable the ram overclocking profile in your bios to run the ram at the
listed speeds instead of lower JEDEC speed. Based on your motherboard
the memory overclock toggle may be listed as DOCP (Direct Overclock
Profile), EOCP (Extended Overclock Profile) or XMP (eXtreme Memory
Profile).
Buy RAM at Cheapest Price: G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 8GB (1x8GB) 3200MHz DDR4 Memory F4-3200C16S-8GVKB
Buy RAM on Amazon: (Not Available)Due
to budget constraints we have to choose between a 240GB SATA SSD for
the snappier performance or a 3.5" 1TB Mechanical Hard Disk for purposes
of mass storage. Personally I would go with a SSD for now for its
snappier performance and start saving few bucks for couple months and
then get a 1TB HDD for purposes of Mass Storage. Note
that ADATA SU650 is a DRAM less SSD, we choose this SSD for its price
to performance ratio and because we need to be under our budget. If you
wish for an SSD with DRAM then you can go for ADATA SU800 (click here for pricing).
Buy SSD at Cheapest price: ADATA SU650 240GB
OR
Buy HDD at Cheapest price: Seagate Barracuda 1TB HDD 7200RPM
Buy SSD from Amazon: ADATA SU650 240GB
OR
Buy HDD from Amazon: Seagate Barracuda 1TB HDD 7200RPMPSU: Thermaltake Litepower 450W
For
the power supply we searched for a reliable power supply whose wattage
was 400W or above. This Thermaltake Litepower 450W power supply is more
than enough to power our PC. Thermaltake is a well known and reliable
brand in the PSU market, you can always add a Graphics card to the build
later down the line and not worry about the PSU.
Buy PSU from Amazon: Thermaltake Litepower 450W
We
chose this case for its lower cost and good airflow. It comes with 3 120mm fans
included in the case and costs a lot less compared to other modern
almost similarly looking case with a mesh panel. Also comes with a full
fledged power supply shroud.
Buy Case at Cheapest Price: Aerocool Aero-300 Mid-Tower Cabinet
Buy case from Amazon: Alternative Cabinet - Aerocool Cyclon Total Price = 21,208/-
