Hello!

I'm looking to upgrade my existing rig (which has served me well since 2013!):

Processor: AMD FX 6300 (Black Edition)
Motherboard: Asus M5A78L-M/USB3
RAM: 4GB Seagate
Graphics Card: AMD R7 260X
PSU: Cooler Master Thunder 500W
CPU Cooler: Hyper 212 (led)
Case: Cooler Master - MasterBox Lite 5 RGB

I've got a budget of about 1,40,000 INR and I'm looking for something that can push out AAA titles as well as games like PUBG and Fortnite at ultra at a good resolution. I don't use the computer for any editing or streaming work.

The build I've been considering is:

Processor: Intel i5-8600K
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z370M DS3H Micro ATX LGA1151
Ram: Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-2400 Memory
Graphics Card: EVGA - GeForce GTX 1070 Ti 8 GB SC GAMING ACX 3.0 Black Edition
HDD: Seagate - Barracuda 2 TB 7200RPM
SSD: ADATA - Ultimate SU800 512 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive

I would also like to know if the following parts could be used from the old rig. If not this is what i was looking at
PSU: Corsair - CXM 550 W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX
CPU Cooler: Well... the same one :p

Here is the part picker link: https://in.pcpartpicker.com/list/CT99YT

The above build works out to INR 1,41,831 with Windows 10. I do no intend on overclocking just yet, though if I do at a later point I understand I would have to invest in better cooling.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Also if i can scrummage up some extra funds and get a hold of a 1080 TI would the rest of the configuration work or would there be any bottlenecks? Are there any bottlenecks in the proposed build?

Thank you guys!

As Intel CPUs are overpriced right now, it is recommendable to go for Ryzen processors, and anyways I would never advice using processors without hyperthreading or SMT as they can't stand the long a processor which has any of them would.

As I can see there's a high cut in Ryzen 1700 price, so you can get a 8 core beast for 18000 rupees, which offers a great performance per dollar. The 8600k has still a better performance per core which will translate in a slightly better performance in some games which aren't taking advantage of the high quantity of cores, and a definitely better performance in some more or less old games which only use one or two cores like Rome 2 Total War (the next Total War games use all cores), as well as...

Anyways, for the future the 1700 will be a processor with much more longevity. I suggest you to change the MoBo to AM4 and pick high speed RAM modules (>3000).

So something on the lines of: https://in.pcpartpicker.com/list/JrDyr6 ? Do you think this would be able to handle things like AC Odyssey and the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077?

Another question I have is if I get a hold of all the components from the US apart from the PSU and the cabinet, could there be any particular problems? As in any problems in power rating, compatibility or such?

I'm able to build a far superior rig with an i7 8700K and a 1080 TI FE for the same budget if it isn't going to be an issue!

I can't imagin a problem related to that. In the worst case the wall socket can be different but the electricity comes in the same way to the PSU, which transforms the power delivery, so maybe you need an adapter for the wall socket or a power cable with the same plug type which you probably already have.
