CPU (APU)

AMD Ryzen 3 3200G

Ryzen 3

The CPU is the heart of your PC and for that, we have chosen the Ryzen 3 3200G. It’s an excellent APU (CPU & GPU both on the same chip) with 4 cores and 4 threads with a base clock speed of 3.6 GHz with turbo up to 4.0 GHz. It’s based on 2nd generation Zen Architecture which does not have the best IPC in the market but its price and the inclusion of the wraith stealth in-box cooler more than justify for it.

Moreover, it packs Vega 8 Graphics in it enabling you to even do some moderate 1080p gaming at moderate Frame rates without a dedicated GPU. With this Processor you would have a very simple upgrade path (for gaming), you can just buy a discrete GPU later on and use it to boost your PC’s performance.

PSU

Thermaltake Litepower 450

PSU is the part most people compromise on when the budget is tight. But you shouldn’t because it powers all the components of the system and if it’s faulty or even if it’s not a good quality PSU your whole PC component may be damaged, even burnt. That’s why we recommend you to get at least a 450W PSU with a minimum rating of 80+ white. The Thermaltake Lite power 450 under Rs 3,000 fits perfectly in this build for the reasons mentioned above.
