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
550W or higher
CPU + GPU alone draw ~258W under load. 550W 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
DDR5-6000 CL30, 2 sticks
AM5's sweet spot is DDR5-6000 with EXPO enabled in BIOS - one toggle, stable, warranty-safe. With RAM prices elevated right now, starting with a single 16GB stick and adding the matching one later is a reasonable play, but dual channel is where this platform performs.
CPU + GPU cost
₹54,700-60,400
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.
