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.

What our engine flags on this combo
Your CPU and GPU budgets are nearly equal. For gaming, the GPU should get the clearly bigger share - most AAA titles are GPU-bound, so a cheaper CPU with a stronger GPU gives more FPS for the same money. Exception: if you mainly play CPU-heavy games like Valorant, Counter-Strike 2, Microsoft Flight Simulator, or Cities: Skylines, or you use the PC for editing or software work, this balance is fine.
For AAA gaming, step the CPU down a tier and put that money into the GPU.
Completing this build
PSU
500W or higher
CPU + GPU alone draw ~217W under load. 500W covers the full build with the 30% headroom I insist on. Go 80+ Gold from a reputed brand - see our PSU tier list.
PSU Tier List India →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
₹32,400-35,800
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.
