Fastest Ryzen Gaming PC Build Under Rs.65,000

Building a PC isn’t so difficult but for someone with zero experience, it will be tricky. But what’s more tricky is the choice of parts, there lots of computer hardware in the market for the same purpose. So for a starter, it will be confusing to choose the better option. Don’t worry, we have got you covered! This article will simply show you the best hardware choices to build the best and fastest gaming under Rs.65,000.

We have chosen the perfect PC hardware to help you build the fastest gaming pc under Rs.65,000. This guide will also give you a basic idea about the different hardware components and their purpose.

Introduction To Building the Fastest Gaming PC Under Rs.65,000

For this build, we will go for the AMD Ryzen series processor because AMD made a significant change in the CPU market which was previously dominated by Intel. Intel’s offerings are quite expensive when compared to AMD’s processors at the same price bracket. Rs.65,000 is a good amount of money that one would want to invest in a PC, but PC hardware can get expensive and if you don’t know to choose the right hardware then you can easily waste your budget unnecessarily.

But here I have made a list of components that I used to build a gaming PC for one of my friends. But to my surprise, this build turned out to amazing and provides great value for money. And in addition to that, you might not need to do any upgrades for 1 or 2 years (depending on your use case).

CPU: Ryzen 3 3300X

(Image credit: gamersnexus.net)

For this build, we will use the AMD Ryzen 3 3300X because this quad-core processor provides excellent value for money and showcases excellent performance. Initially, I thought to go for the Ryzen 5 3500X but even though it has 6 cores it doesn’t have enough threads to compliment the full potential of the cores. In addition to that, it’s single-core clock speeds are much lower than the 3300X’s. Which makes the Ryzen 3 3300X a much better gaming CPU and along with that you will be able to save Rs.1000-2000 over the 3500X (depends on the deal you get).

However, if you plan to upgrade later on or if you can spend more on the CPU then I will recommend you choose the Ryzen 5 3600 or higher models. And that’s because the Ryzen 5 series 3500 and 3500X CPUs are not international models (I’m nitpicking, it’s up to you).

Coming back to the topic, this CPU can reach up to a 4.3 GHz boost clock and if you can purchase a good cooler later on then you push the clock speeds even further. You can find general specifications and benchmarks below or skip to the next section.

GPU: Zotac Geforce GTX 1660 AMP Edition 6GB

We will be pairing a GTX1660 in this Ryzen 3 3300X build because for under Rs.20,000 the GTX 1660 provides an excellent 1080p gaming experience and some low-end 4K gaming too. This CPU and GPU combo pairs really well to provide stable 60+ FPS on most modern at 1080p max settings. You can choose a GTX1660 from any brand depending on how you can flex your budget. However, this is a good card for this price range that has a boost clock of 1845 MHz and 6GB of VRAM which is good enough for most AAA titles.

Furthermore, there are 3 display output options, in this card you will get 3 Display Port 1.4s and 1 HMDI 2b port so that someday if you want you can rock a 4 monitor setup. You see more specifications of the card below or skip to the next section.

Note: Dedicated graphics card is required to get video output from this PC build because this Ryzen series and Ryzen 3 3300X doesn’t have onboard graphics.

Motherboard: MSI B450M PRO-VDH MAX

The MSI B450M PRO-VDH MAX is the cheapest motherboard that I could find with 4 RAM slots and it also supports RAM clock speeds up to 3466+MHz. MSI is a well-known manufacturer of motherboards and other PC hardware so this motherboard is nothing but great for the price. This motherboard features AMD® B450 Chipset which will give us fair enough room for overclocking and supports Ryzen 5000 series CPUs as well. In addition to that, there is a steel-reinforced PCIe slot, USB 3.2 Gen1 support, and an M.2 SSD slot. There are lots of I/O ports that are 8 USB ports at the rear in which four of them are USB 3.2 Gen1 ports. You can find all the details and specifications here.

RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB DDR4 3200MHZ (x2)

The Corsair Vengeance LPX is so popular in the PC enthusiast community and Corsair being such a reputable brand name in the RAM market, the Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB DDR4 ram is an easy choice. This or Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB 3200MHz DDR4 model is undoubtedly the fasted one you can get for this price range, both are 3200Mhz ram sticks which are fast and Ryzen CPUs love fast RAMs. For this build, we will need two 8GB ram sticks so that you will have a total of 16GB of system memory. You can buy Corsair or HyperX depending on the price. The only thing to consider when you buy is to buy a DDR4 ram with at least 3200Mhz clock speed or you can easily find links to all the components used in this build at the end of this article.

Storage: SSD + HDD

In this build we will using a 250 GB NVMe Solid State Drive and a 1TB Hard Disk. The 250GB NVMe SSD will be used to install Windows and one two games that you mainly play so those will load much faster compared to hard disk or even normal SSD. NVMe SSDs are far more faster that normal SSDs and the fact that they are much cheaper now makes it a great high speed storage option.

And the 1TB hard disk will hold your movies, other games and files that you wont access frequently. Depending on how much you can flex you budget feel free to choose higher capacity ones.

Samsung 970 EVO Plus 250GB NVMe M.2 SSD

While there are other brands in the market I prefer Samsung 970 EVO Plus as they have proved to be fast and reliable to me. This is one of the single most products that will the gaming pc faster than other build guides. Using an NVMe SSD over conventional will make your Rs.65,000 gaming PC much faster.

Seagate BarraCuda 1TB HardDisk

Seagate’s BarraCuda 1TB HardDisk is the most popular hard disk option in the market, it will last longer.

PSU: Cooler Master MWE 450W

All the components above will max out the under 300W so this Cooler Master 450W power supply will provide plenty of juice for your build. The Cooler Master MWE 450W is an 80 Plus certified PSU that’s silent and efficient. Never buy a low-quality PSU for saving money, the last thing you want to happen is to connect your newly build PC to the power outlet and get the motherboard fried due to a short circuit. A good PSU can save your expensive PC hardware from such incidents and also from lighting spikes and surges.

Case: Ant Esports ICE-200TG

For the price the Ant Esports ICE-200TG offer fair enough build quality and features. Not to mention the RGB lights on the front panel screams gaming aesthetics. The PSU shroud is a nifty little feature that will help you save a lot of time hiding the cables of your power supply. Also there are three USB ports at the front with one being a USB 3.0 port.

Extras & Miscellaneous

Case Fans

I have seen many build guides on the web without talking about case fans or extras that you will need to build and maintain a PC. But ill share those with you, I haven’t included the price of these because the case fan market in India is kinda messed up. There are normal fans that just spins and there is no control, there are PWM fans that you can control using the software so that you can perfectly control your PC’s airflow. and then there are RGB fans and RGB PWM Fans. You can just choose the cheapest fan and call it a day if you don’t care about airflow or aesthetics. However, if you do care then getting an RGB is just plain better.

Thermal Paste

Even though the stock cooler that you got with the CPU comes pre-applied with thermal paste, later on, you may need to clean your PC and want to remove the cooler. In such a situation having a thermal paste on hand will get good. Also, the pre-applied thermal paste doesn’t offer much heat conductivity compared to aftermarket solutions.

Cable Ties

Cable ties are so helpful in making your cable management work look clean. Having some around is always a good idea.

FAQs

  1. Can you edit video on a Rs.65,000 PC?

    Yes, you pretty easily edit 1080p videos and even 4K videos if you can reduce the preview resolution. Video editing software needs more RAM, a PC with 16GB of RAM is a good start for video editing. However, you will need to add more RAM for better results.
    You can buy two more 8GB RAM sticks and max the total RAM to 32GB which is recommended for software like Adobe Premiere Pro.

  2. Can you play games at 4K on a Rs.65,000 PC?

    Yes, every game will run at 4K resolution, the GTX1660 super is great for the price but its better suited for 1080p gaming. To get somewhat playable experience on a 4K monitor then you will have reduce the game's graphics settings.

Google modifying links in Gmail raising security concerns

Despite Google’s recent update to Gmail’s logo so that all google services look unified and follow the same design scheme, now google is making modifications to URLs when received by IMAP users and other external clients.

The addition of new features or design changes doesn’t cause many problems when it happens on social media or entertainment sites. But email’s are the supreme form of communication where serious links would be sent.

This tweak by Google makes it impossible for IMAP users to see the original email without logging into the web interface, due to the fact that it breaks verification of the cryptographic signatures.

Google is the largest e-mail provider in the world, offering both consumer-targeted Gmail product and G Suite for business customers. For some users, it is such that Google is actually modifying URLs instead of using their own link-checking and redirect service. This requires the body of the email to be edited before it reaches the user. External email clients that fetch email over IMAP are affected, with no way to access the original raw email they were sent.

Initially, it was thought that the editing was happening within the Gmail app or through their web client. However, Google confirmed that this is a new feature and is being rolled out to G Suite customers. In addition to that, you can disable this if you want to. Google calls this “Click-time link protection in third-party email clients” which you can read more about here.

The intention of this feature is to prevent phishing attacks with Google’s redirect service including a link checker to warn users who are traveling to potentially dangerous sites. However this explanation is not satisfactory for the average person, forcing users to head to a Google server to view the original URL they were sent is to many an egregious breach of privacy, and a security concern to boot. Moreover, the Company hasn’t shown any warnings or notified its users prior to implementing this feature.

BenQ GW2780 Review, 27-inch Full HD Monitor

You might be looking to buy a big 27-inch monitor to complement your desktop setup and stumbled upon the BenQ GW2780, so was I a year ago and bought it. And this is my review of the BenQ GW2780 Full HD 27 Inch IPS monitor after 1 year and 5 months of usage.

Introduction

Like I mentioned earlier, I have been daily driving this monitor for the last 1 year and 5 months so I might be the right kinda person to write the best BenQ GW2780 review. BenQ has been in the display industry for quite a long time so thought it will be a good buy for the price, I bought it from Amazon for ₹14,900.00 ($203). At the time of writing this review, it’s priced at  ₹13,906 which lower than for what I got it, but even then I felt it’s worth the price because there weren’t any similar options at this price range. However there is a similar BenQ model for ₹1000 less but it lacked the Display Port input, for my use case I needed DP.

Before getting into the BenQ GW2780 Review, let us take a quick look at the specifications.

BenQ GW2780 Specifications

Built-in Speaker2Wx2

This is the general specification of this monitor, this is really good when you consider the screen size and price. Apart from this BenQ offers a variety of picture modes and some eye care features.

What’s In The Box

You will receive this monitor in a chunky box, the panel is held firmly in a hard foam that covers the entire box. The stand is kept separately on another cut out of the foam. Along with the monitor, you will get a generic HDMI cable, a user manual, a warranty card, and a CD drive.

And by the way, BenQ offers a 3-year warranty for their monitors which is a good thing. Actually a great thing for me more on that later.

First Impressions

When I placed the monitor on my desktop table, I was happy to see how big the new panel felt in front of my old 19-inch monitor which I have been rocking for the past 5-6 years. Moreover, the bezels are so thin and look gorgeous.

BenQ GW2780 Review - BenQ GW2780 images

As soon as you turn on the power switch the power button turns white, the monitor shows a BenQ logo splash screen, if there is no input signal then it simply goes into sleep and the power button will turn yellow. One thing I have to say is that the color calibration out of the box is terrible and is really off!

Yup, the BenQ GW2780 has a weird yellow tint, maybe a little too much which I had to fix myself by adjusting the color settings. I have created a thread about that on the TUX Forums which you can read here. But before tinkering with the color settings I thought there will some other picture modes which I can set instantly to fix the yellow tint, unfortunately, all picture modes had a yellow shade but its intensity was less. So I customized it to get a near-white color to my liking.

Build Quality

BenQ priced the GW2780 aggressively, I didn’t have many expectations in build quality but overall, the build quality is great. It’s not solid or build like a tank but the plastic used is good and has a texture to it, the monitor tends to wobble when the table shakes when you use the buttons, or even if a fan is hitting it directly. Besides that, this monitor can handle small beatings.

However, the stand is sturdy and has some weight to it in addition to that it also offers a clean mechanism to hide the cable of the monitor. Furthermore, the screen has a matte finish which offers great visibility and I never have seen any glare on the screen.

Design

The GW2780 is part of BenQ’s “Stylish Monitor for Home and Office” line up and so it looks pleasing to the eye, and will definitely compliment your desktop setup. The monitor has a subtle texture on the back and stands which in fact gives a premium feel. In addition to that this monitor offers a cable management system by making some space at the back of the stand so that you can neatly route the power and input cable through it. It really added as a way to neatly organize your desk space, however, it’s not perfect because as I mentioned before I was using a Display Port cable with this monitor and that cable was thick and I had a hard time shoving that inside the cable management space.

BenQ GW2780 Review - cable management

Moreover, the BenQ GW2780 also has a VESA mount support, which is a nice touch. The base of the stand gives a handy space to keep your phone, but the only thing is that it will slide off. However, I’ve managed to keep a soundbar in that space to save some space.

Panel Quality

Clarity

This monitor features a 1080p panel monitor which offers good clarity if the panel size was 22 inches or less. As a result of the 27-inch screen real estate, the pixels are large enough that the text won’t look so crisp. Again the matte finish screen can also be one contributing factor to this. It isn’t so bad as being uncomfortable with your eyes.

BenQ GW2780 Review - clarity test
Actual image of text on monitor taken on my phone’s camera from 4-5 cm away.

There is nothing you can do about this because you will notice this is every1080p monitor above 24 inches. Or you will have to choose a higher resolution monitor like 2K or 4K.

Brightness

You might have noticed the 250 Nits brightness in the spec sheet, but it’s not bad at all. I had a great time watching movies and Youtube on the panel. Not to mention this Edge to Edge bezel make movie watching experience so immersive. Then BenQ GW2780 has pretty good brightness up its sleeve for content consumption.

Colors

If you are a professional designer who needs a color-accurate monitor then this definitely no go. The colors are a bit off and washed out. And even if you try to increase the saturation in your graphics control panel on the monitor setting it won’t look pleasing enough.

The blacks are more like dark grey apart from that this is a good panel for watching movies and stuff. I’ve tweaked the color settings a bit to my liking and it’s great.

I not at all framing it as a bad monitor! GW2780 is not intended for professional photo or video editing but makes a great content consumption experience. If your main use to watch some movies and do internet browsing and light gaming then the BenQ GW2780 is a perfect choice.

Viewing Angles

I really love the viewing angles on this monitor. No matter from which angle you look, it will look the same. There aren’t any rainbow effects, fading, color shifts, etc..

Picture Modes

BenQ GW2780 Review - BenQ GW2780 Picture Modes

The BenQ GW2780 provides some picture modes out of the box which, to be honest, aren’t good. I mostly use is the “Low blue light” mode which actually feels good for long usage. Like I mentioned earlier this monitor has a weird yellow tint to all the modes. So I modified the standard mode to my personal liking. Other than that you can only maintain one custom profile which is called “User”.

The game mode, then bad luck it only makes the game look worse. Because when you switch to game mode, it bumps up the sharpness, brightness, and blue colors to a whole new level. The Picture modes are the only disappointment in this BenQ GW2780 review, but you can customize it yourself and enjoy the content.

Built In Speaker

Just forget that! That was an unintentional feature. The 2Wx2 sounds worse than any phone speaker I have ever seen. You won’t be able to make out any dialogues. BenQ might have thrown that in to boost the features list. It’s better that you get a separate pair of speakers.

Extra Features

I must say that BenQ has thrown in some additional features like “Brightness Intelligence Technology” which is like the adaptive brightness feature in smartphones. Basically what it does is that I automatically adjust the monitor’s brightness according to the ambient brightness. Which is more like a gimmick or in other words it doest work to make a noticeable difference.

There is the “Low Blue Light” which is “Proprietary BenQ Low Blue Light Technology filters out hazardous blue light, effectively reducing eye fatigue and irritation.” I actually love that and use it 95% of the time but this is now a common feature in most modern monitors.

“Flicker-free” is also another BenQ tech they advertise which is an “Exclusive BenQ Flicker-Free Technology eliminates the harmful flicker of traditional LCDs to prevent fatigue and vision damage.”

My Experience

It’s been a long time since I’ve been using this monitor, even for writing this review. With this BenQ GW2780 review, I intend to point some of my personal experiences. I order this monitor on 3 May 2019 and received it after 5 days, since then I used this almost every day. However, after 4 months I started to notice some backlight bleeding. Again after 2 more months, it has increased, and then I contacted the nearest BenQ service center and they asked me to call their toll-free customer care number and register a complaint. After I’ve done that service guys came and took pictures of my monitor went, then after a week they came and replaced the monitor with a brand new one.

After some chitchat with the service guys and they said this is a common issue and the company gives replacements. I was lucky for this to happen during the warranty period and that’s why I said it’s a good thing to have a 3-year warranty. I am happy that BenQ replaced it for me, there haven’t been any other issues since then.

Should you buy the BenQ GW2780

It all comes down to personal preferences, because if you want to watch movies and browser internet maybe game a bit then this is definitely a must buy. If you are a passionate gamer looking for a monitor or a professional digital artist then no, this is not for you. This monitor serves generic office use and media consumption purpose.

The professional workflow is your thing and you are looking for color-accurate monitors at a budget rate then you might wanna see BenQ’s SW240 which is a 24-inch monitor that features 99% Adobe RGB, 100% sRGB, 95% DCI-P3 color coverage with a factory-calibration report. And if you want 27-inch screen real estate then checkout BenQ SW270C which also has 4K resolution so everything will be crisp.

The iPhone 12 Pro costs $1633 in India, That’s Expensive!

iPhone 12 Pro is expensive in India

Yesterday’s Apple event revealed their new iPhone lineup that showcased the iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Mini, iPhone 12 Pro, and iPhone 12 Pro Max. The iPhone 12 Pro, which launched at $999 in the United States reaches the Indian market at shockingly expensive prices.

It’s always been like this in India, all Apple products are expensive in India when their base prices from the USA is converted from dollars to rupees. But what I’m pointing this out because now the pricing has gone from expensive to insanely expensive.

Apple Store Pricing for the iPhone 12 Pro

The iPhone 12 Pro launched in the USA for $999 (Rs.73367) but it costs Rs.1,19,900 in India which is $1633 (rounded figure). By looking at these figures you will understand that there is a $634 price difference, that’s huge!

iPhone 12 Pro MAX 128GB₹1,29,900

When it comes to a country like India where Apple has less than 4% share in the market, this pricing is really aggressive. Apple has such a low share in the Indian market because the majority of the population in India has a hard time making both ends meet. The smartphone market in India loves smartphones within the budget segment and android devices rule there. Now during the Covid-19 crisis, the situation is even worse, so let’s see how the sales numbers go.

There are some factors that made the iPhone 12 Pro this expensive. Maybe because this particular model isn’t being manufactured within India. The import charges and taxes could one factor that makes the iPhones more expensive.

Top 7 Fastest Managed WordPress Hosting Services

If fast web hosting is what you are looking for then here is a list of 7 fastest WordPress hosting services. When it comes to web hosting, a fast server is only one factor for good experience and ranking there are many other things to consider while choosing the perfect web host. That why I’m listing out the best WordPress web hosting companies that are crazy fast, reliable, offers good support, and easy on your pocket.

Table of contents

How To Find The Best Web Hosting?

There are a ton of web hosting companies that offer web hosting for dirt cheap rates but why should you choose a fast web host over them. Well, the short answer is, your website will be fast. The long answer is that a faster server will provide lower response time which will improve the overall performance of your site by making pages load much faster. If you have ever used website speed testing tools like Google’s Page Speed Insights, then you can see how fast your site loads by giving a score.

There are many factors that make a web hosting provider fast and most of it comes down to the physical hardware infrastructure of the servers used by the web hosting company. Here are some factors that make a web server fast.

Fast and Reliable Network

Slow network speeds will result in higher server response time. Initial Server Response Time is one way by which Google measures a website’s speed, Initial Server Response Time is the time a website’s server takes to serve the byte of data to a visitor’s browser. If the server takes longer to respond then the initial server response time will be higher which will the website load much slower.

The initial server response also depends on the geographical locations of a website’s server. That is if you are trying to visit a website that is hosted at a faraway location the response time will be higher.

CPU Cores and Clock Speeds

The processor that powers a web server has a really crucial role in determining the performance of a website, a low-end CPU can handle some traffic on your website but if there is a lot of traffic then a more powerful one will be needed to fulfill all the database queries and PHP processes.

However, you shouldn’t be worried about this as most hosting providers offer good CPU even on their base plan. But what you should consider is the number of CPU cores you are getting on your plan. If your website’s traffic is low then you can start from a 1 core CPU and then upgrade your plan later.

RAM and Storage

Most hosting providers now offer SSD or even NVMe SSD storage for their web hosting plans, these are high-speed storage options that will significantly increase a server’s I/O speed there by making a site snappier.

RAM is an important factor that helps a server to cope with the traffics loads and ongoing tasks, it’s better to have at least 2GB of RAM but most small sites should be fine with 1GB RAM also.

So that now you know what are the key factors that make a web hosting provider fast, you might be worried about choosing the perfect hosting service. Don’t worry mate, in this post ill show you the 7 best hosting providers so that you don’t have to worry about all the hardware selection stuff.

What is Managed WordPress Hosting?

Managed WordPress Hosting is WordPress-specific hosting that makes it easier to manage, secure, and speed up your WordPress site. Managed hosting is a description of the service you’ll receive. While most hosting providers leave the majority of the work up to you, managed hosting takes some of the responsibility for keeping your site going off your shoulders.

How to use your GPU as a High-Speed Storage

Everything is changing so fast and so is technology, the recent launch of NVIDIA’s latest RTX 3000 series based on Ampere architecture brings in more VRAM so that people can do more insane things like what I’m gonna show you with this post. Let’s learn how you can install a game on your GPU’s VRAM.

As insane as it sounds it has already happened! The increase in GPU VRAM has lead people to attempt such things as this woman who has installed Crysis 3 on her RTX 3090.

This is possible as the RTX 3090 has 24GB of GDDR6X memory. She then partitioned it into two sections, a 10GB and a 15GB variant, and installed the game. Even with Crysis 3 installed on the GPU’s VRAM the total memory usage wasn’t maxed out, it just touched 20GB, with the GPU load at 40%.

So if you are curious to know how you can do this, then it simple and can be done by downloading two softwares and a few clicks.
