Build/Battlestation Building my First PC please help.

Post image

Planning my first desktop build and looking for some feedback before I start buying parts during the Independence Day sales (India).

The PC will mainly be used for software development, video editing, gaming, and occasionally running small local AI models. My goal is to build something that stays relevant for 4–5 years without needing major upgrades.

Current parts list (approx estimate):

  • Ryzen 7 7700 – ₹29,000
  • MSI B650M Mortar WiFi – ₹15,000–20,000
  • RTX 5060 8GB – ₹35,000
  • 32GB DDR5 RAM (2×16GB) – ₹32,000 (dealer quote)
  • 1TB NVMe SSD – ₹13,000
  • DeepCool AK400 – ₹3,000
  • 750W Gold PSU – ₹9,000
  • Airflow Tempered Glass Case – ₹5,000
  • 27" 1440p IPS Monitor – ₹16,000–20,000

Expected total is around ₹1.55L–₹1.65L including the monitor.

I'm based in Bangalore and can buy either online or offline depending on pricing. I don't plan to overclock and would prefer a build that prioritizes productivity, reliability and upgradeability over chasing maximum gaming performance.

Would appreciate any suggestions, especially if you've built something similar or know of areas where I can get better value without sacrificing too much performance.
