PC upgrade guide newegg,amazon

[Abhishek1025]

Planning to build a an 8th gen or 1800x config.. Casual gaming..
Need to buy stuff off amazon or newegg
What will be the best option to buy and import stuff to india?
Local stores are expensive and low stocks

1) Importing stuff from anywhere to India is not recommended as duties and taxes will bring the price to near Indian cost. Plus, there will be no warranty or it will be too much of a hassle. e.g. try newegg india store. It will show cheaper prices when you are putting stuff in the cart, but final checkout will bring it to near Indian prices and sometimes even more. Simply not worth it

In India, it is better to pick up components from the PC market e.g. Lamington road in Mumbai, Nehru Place in Delhi, SP road in Bangalore etc.

What is your budget?
What is the resolution on which you will be playing games?
Which games do you play?

Budget around $1100.
I am happy with 1080p resolution.
I want my games to render smoothly on screen so i would be preferring a good card from Nvidia
I play games like , CoD series, Battlefield,FIFA ,Assassin' s Creed, Witcher, Farcry series.,Crysis.

I prefer a balance of visuals and performance.

Current system
2011 rig

Intel Core i7-2600K , 3.4Ghz
Asus ML238H full HD monitor
Asus P8Z68 Vpro Mobo----------- (some USB ports don't detect at times,Ethernet is dodgy.)
Radeon 6870HD 1GB GPU
Corsair Venegeance 2x4GB RAM sticks.
Corsair HX750W power supply
Samsung 850 250GB evo SSD
2015 Seagate 1TB HDD
Cooler Master Glite 430 Windowpane Black Case

Creative Speakers 2.1 -----( dead. not working )

APC 1100VA BACKUP UPS

I would like to have a system that competes in the market for the next 5 yrs at least as i won't be upgrading anytime soon after this upgrade.
Kindly suggest a good rig.

I was browsing through this website though Theitdepot.com but seems they have limited stocks and not all brands. I know Lamington Road Mumbai, 2 hr journey though

There is no rig in the world that will last you 5 years. There is no rig in the world that will not last you for 5 years.

CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 1600 - 17000 INR
Mobo - ASUS Strix ROG B350-f Gaming - 10000 INR
RAM - 2x8GB Corsair or Gskill - 14000 INR
PSU - Seasonic M12II520 - 6000 INR
Case - Corsair or Coolermaster to taste and budget
GPU - Zotac GTX 1060 6GB AMP Edition - 25000 INR

Total - 72000 + Case + Storage

These are the maximum prices. Actual rig will be cheaper by about 5000. You have to negotiate with the retailers at Lamington Road. Your existing PSU is very nice. You can choose to keep that and save money. Same for the case and storage. The other components you can sell for around 10000 INR.

If you need speakers, I recommend Logitech 5.1 speakers in the following link:

Replace the video card with a newer one. I just setup a system with an i5-2500k that was a bit overclocked, it got the same benchmark score as my 4th gen i5. You have the i7 version which is even better.

If a better video card does not help you get to where you want for gaming, then look to replace the rest.
