I want to buy a desktop computer in 45k

[mikrotik]

Hi guys,

I am planning to buy a desktop computer and my budget is around 45k. I do not game and not looking for anything stylish. I already have the monitor. Please suggest.

Thanks

Cannot find any reference on AMD website. Iirc there's no Zen2 CPU with built in GPU, apparently due to lack of space on the die.

Actually there is no product by this name. Only rumours.

I havent bought any computer since 2009. So I am highly outdated.

Mine was in 2013. So I'm only slightly better than you I too was thinking of along the same lines, upgrading my PC by myself.

CPU Box (which one? I have old iBall one, will it work?) // PC case? Yes, older ones will do fine.

Motherboard (which one should I go for?) // Asus, gigabyte, asrock, msi.. some known chinese brand

Processor (which one should I go for?)

I do not want hi-fi desktop. i3 or i7 is enough.

I think you meant i5? i5 should be a good in value for money. They are 6 core 6 thread. i7 will be much more expensive, and the extra cores / threads are not useful as of now for gamers. Very useful for Video encoding etc. Check equivalent AMD proc also.

RAM (which brand? what specifications?) //Corsair base version. (No extra fins etc.) Transcend Kingston etc should be next tier. The ram speed should depend on your motherboard choice. Its spec will have max speed supported. Note that at the very top, the higher the theoretical RAM speed goes, it does not actually translate to real world improvement. You are much better off getting more RAM. Like a 8gb normal speed ram >> than a 4gb light speed Mhz ram with its expensive fins and all the junk...

Powersupply (which brand?) //Calculate your power req a little before. Esp of your graphics card.
Corsair is good. Mine was the then base model version of corsair in 2015.

I needed 550W as i had a graphics card as well. Its generally recommended to not skimp on a good quality smps.

Harddisk (is seagate good? what RPMs?) //Yes. But personally i'd recommend western digital. Long story why...

To add, its better to get one SSD to store your OS and frequently used performance critical appln's (size as per budget), and then HDD (size as per requirement.) The age of installing OS on HDD's is almost over.
