Curated builds for every budget.
Ten build templates from ₹25K to ₹3.5L. Each one explains why every part is in there, what changes if you spend ₹10K more, and what to upgrade two years from now. Real Indian prices, real Indian vendors, real Indian warranty paths.
The bar
- Every template is built around a specific reader - not a budget keyword. Who is this for? What ceiling will they hit first? What's the right next purchase?
- All BOMs auto-compute from our parts catalog. If a price changes, every template updates. No stale numbers.
- Honest titles. If the math doesn't work at ₹40K in May 2026, the template won't pretend it does. Better an accurate ₹55K title than a misleading ₹40K one.
- Performance numbers are real. Aggregated from Hardware Unboxed, TechPowerUp, Gamers Nexus - adjusted for the specific CPU+GPU combo in each build.

What's coming
The full list. Items in draft are being written now; outlined ones have a brief and structure ready; queued ones are sequenced after the first batch.
₹25K office/study PC
First PC for a college student or office worker. No GPU. Ryzen 5 + A620, integrated graphics via discrete GT 1030. Honest about the ceiling.
₹55K first-time 1080p gaming rig
AM4 + RTX 4060. The honest entry-level Indian gaming PC. 3-year TCO comparison vs PS5. Upgrade path mapped through 2029.
₹70K high-FPS eSports rig
Valorant, CS2, BGMI at 240+ FPS. Why eSports is CPU-bound at 1080p. Counter-intuitive: spend more on CPU, less on GPU.
₹1.1L sweet-spot 1440p workhorse
The build I get asked about most. Ryzen 7 7700 + RX 7800 XT + AM5. Gaming + content work. Upgrade headroom through 2030.
₹1.2L streaming + content creation rig
OBS-first build. Cores over clock. NVENC over AMD encoder. Indian internet realities for streamers - upload speed is the bottleneck.
₹1.5L high-refresh 1440p / entry 4K
7800X3D + RTX 5070 Ti. Where parallel-import GPU math gets interesting. Native 12VHPWR PSU non-negotiable.
₹1.1L ITX small-form-factor build
SFF for apartments and travelers. NR200P or Lian Li A4. Cooling and clearance constraints, summer thermal realities.
₹1.7L RTX 5080 high-end build
Built around the GPU. 7800X3D again (same CPU as ₹1.5L - that's the point). 850W native 12VHPWR PSU mandatory.
₹2L LLM / AI workstation build
VRAM dictates everything. Used 4090 24GB > new 5080 16GB for inference. Tokens/sec table for popular models. Used GPU buying playbook.
₹3.5L flagship enthusiast build
RTX 5090 + 9950X3D. AIB partner comparison. Custom loop or 360 AIO debate. CableMod customs. Showcase aesthetics.
