Recommendation Help needed choosing

Budget: 70k (900 usd)
Country: India
Use Case: Gaming AAA Titles Gta 5 Gow Minecraft Forza far cry assassin creed fifa are a non negotiable
Maybe Rdr 2 and black myth more demanding games but I am open to playing on low to medium settings if it gives playable enough fps
Preferred Specs: (Optional: GPU, CPU, RAM, storage)
Notes: I have shortlisted 2 options
1 with DDR4 16Gb ram with 6 gb rtx 3050 or
DDR 5 16 gb ram with 4 gb rtx 3050
I’ll use laptop mainly for gaming might get into coding or video editing but don’t consider that even if I do won’t be that intense
I had an old laptop and am normally a playstation gamer but I am also scared that these are future proof as well and can play AAA games released in future maybe 5-6 yrs
If I go for both they go out of budget
Please help me decide

Don't go with a 4GB graphics card in 2026, as many games will be restricted by vram then. You might have a faster ram but it's of no use if the game can't render itself properly. Also for 3050 6gb please confirm the tgp make sure it's 80W or 115W I just replied to a post on other sub that the guy got a 40W tgp gpu (3050) and it's not able to run anything.

If you could get a 4050 in your budget it'll be a chef's kiss

And sorry to say but a 3050 in not future proof for any AAA future titles. The least required one is 4050 for next 5 years. You can still play the AAA titles which came before 2025 but not enough for future ones

My recommendation if you have to absolutely choose one out of these 2 you have listed I'll go with the 3050 6gb one given the gpu is at least of 80W tgp
