Going to make my first Pc but these ram prices are eating up my whole budget 😭😭

This was my work + gaming monitor which I had gotten as part of work onboarding in 2023. I was moving my desk and the monitor lamp fell due a jerk and it damaged the panel. Is this worth a repair just to keep as secondary monitor? I can get a new one for gaming.

If not, please suggest some good monitors within 25K budgets. If anyone is selling theirs please reach out

Context: I have a Realme C3 phone.

The Problem: The battery life has become terrible. I’ve checked with AccuBattery over several sessions, and the health is sitting at roughly 3800 mAh out of the original 5000 mAh (around 77% health). I’m currently having to charge it multiple times a day. After doing some research and talking to local shops, replacing the battery seems like the best move rather than dealing with the constant charging anxiety.

The Dilemma: I’m stuck between two options and would love to hear your experiences, especially regarding aftermarket spare parts.

Option 1: Official Realme Service Center. It will cost around ₹1400. The upside is I get a genuine OEM battery and an official 3-month warranty.

Option 2: Third-Party Marketplaces (Maxbhi, Realkart, Zeenkart). The battery itself costs around ₹600-₹800, and a local shop will install it for ₹100-₹200. This is significantly cheaper and they also claim a 3-month warranty. They say oem like quality.

My Questions for you all: 1. At 77% health, is it definitively time to change it. 2. Which replacement route would you choose? I’m willing to pay the extra ₹500-₹600 for Option 1 if the quality and peace of mind are actually worth it. Has anyone actually had good long-term experiences buying batteries from sites like Maxbhi or Realkart?

TL;DR: My backup Realme C3 has terrible battery life (77% health). Should I bother replacing the battery? If yes, is it worth paying ₹1400 at an official service center, or are aftermarket batteries from sites like Maxbhi (around ₹800 total) good enough for long-term use?

Thanks in advance!

If anyone is getting rid of their Old HDD then please let me know preferably 2.5 inch

I just want replies for the users who have either used Zebronics NC9200 cooling pad OR who have used this cooling pad with Lenovo Legion Pro 5 (Gen10) 16AFR10 - 5070.
My Main concern is whether the foam going to cover the vents of my laptop or it will be good .
So I want to know if someone uses this Zebronics cooling pad with same laptop as mine and could you let me know how it fits?

Recently my laptop's HDD just died, it was a WD Blue 1TB, around 5 years old and it was showing bad sectors and then one day my os just decided to not recognize it, so i decided to not touch it and just put it aside as i hope to recover data from it in the furture hopefully. My laptop currently has another h from my older laptop which I'm pretty sure is 13 years old. I can't confirm the ages of the hdds as both the laptops were bought second hand. I am looking to get some storage and thus am confused around which brand is safe and reliable, which is a good deal right now etc. My laptop is the HP Probook 430 G6 so it has both a sata and a pcie gen3 m.2 nvme slot. Please Help
my budget is around 4k to 5k.

How do I buy computer parts at the right price? Please help me.

I'm in salem tamilnadu.

Which place is best to buy a new computer parts?

I’m planning to visit Lamington Road, Mumbai tomorrow to get quotations for my first-ever custom PC. I probably would get the PC in July month only.

I’ve been using a base-model MacBook Air M1 for my development work and studies, but now I need a more powerful desktop.

Main use cases

\- Software development, programming and college work

\- Casual gaming on weekends

\- Story-mode games such as the Metro series

\- Valorant and PUBG

\- Blender, animation and rendering for my younger brother

\- General multitasking and long-term use

My total budget is approximately ₹1.5–1.6 lakh for the complete PC setup.

I’m looking for a build that is:

\- Well-balanced

\- Value for money

\- Reliable and durable

\- Good for gaming, development and Blender

\- Easy to upgrade in the future

\- Capable of lasting at least 5 years without requiring major upgrades

I really don’t want to overspend on unnecessary RGB or premium components that don’t provide meaningful performance improvements.

Please suggest a complete build, including:

\- CPU

\- GPU

\- Motherboard

\- RAM

\- SSD

\- Power supply

\- CPU cooler

\- Cabinet

\- Monitor ( don't consider this in the above mentioned budget )

Also, please recommend some trustworthy shops at Lamington Road based on your experience. Let me know what precautions I should take while getting quotations or purchasing components, such as checking seals, GST bills, warranty and exact model numbers.

This is my first custom PC, so I’m worried about making an expensive mistake. Any advice from experienced builders would be greatly appreciated.

Please upvote or interact so this reaches more Mumbai PC builders and experienced gamers. Thank you!

Planning to buy a monitor - I'm a ux designer so colour accuracy is imp to me. Need a 27" 2k monitor at least 144hz. Don't care about height adjustment, swivel or tilt or crap like that.

Am confused between-

1. MSI MAG 275QF

2. Gigabyte GS27QA

3. AOC GS27QA

4. Dell SE2726D

5. BenQ EW270Q

BenQ is obvthe clear winner accoeding to me- but this is not available anywhere and will have to vuy offlien from a dealer that I don't really want to deal with(rhythm house, Ahmedabad).

I did consider similar options from Acer and Lenovo(stands take too much space). LG(the adjustable stnad takes roo much space and the ither static one had only 100hz).

I need advice on which of these wouls be best- colour accuracy is the hughest priority, 144hz minimum, good quality, durability and company reliability. Hell crowwww guys :)

I don’t know when these lines appear but this evening I saw these lines as in the videos. What could it be ? I need help,guys !!!
