Bottleneck verdict by resolution

Same engine as our builder. At 1080p the CPU does more of the work; at 4K the GPU carries the load - so the verdict changes with your monitor.

Completing this build

PSU

700W or higher

CPU + GPU alone draw ~330W under load. 700W covers the full build with the 30% headroom I insist on. Go 80+ Gold from a reputed brand - see our PSU tier list.

RAM

DDR4-3200 or 3600, 2 sticks

AM4 pairs best with DDR4-3200 CL16 or 3600 CL18. Anything faster is money the memory controller won't use. 16GB (2x8GB) is the floor for gaming in 2026.

CPU + GPU cost

₹48,500-53,500

Indicative India pricing for this pair, GST included. Full builds around this combo typically land at 1.7-2.2x this figure with board, RAM, storage, PSU and case.
