Every part, every brand, every price in ₹. Pick a combination and this tells you whether it fits together, what it draws from the wall, where the bottleneck is, and roughly what frame rate you would actually see — in 10 games, at three resolutions. No account, no tracking, runs entirely in your browser.
252 parts from 41 brands. Pick a combination and this checks that it actually fits together, adds up the cost in ₹, works out the power draw, and estimates what frame rate you would get in ten games.
Searches the catalogue for the fastest compatible combination your budget covers, one part swap at a time. Never goes over the number you set.
The build I would actually assemble today. AM5 means you can drop a much faster CPU in later without replacing the board.
Reference scores for the parts you picked — the numbers these components post in Geekbench, Cinebench and 3DMark.
Pin a configuration, change some parts, and see exactly what the change bought you — per game, not just on the headline number.
One part swapped at a time, ranked by frames gained per rupee. Only swaps that stay compatible with the rest of the build are listed.
Average frame rate across all ten titles at the resolution selected above, against every ready-made build. Your configuration is highlighted.
Prices change constantly. All prices are indicative August 2026 India retail in ₹ and are not offers to sell. DRAM and NAND are both mid-shortage, so memory and storage in particular move week to week, and the spread between retailers on an identical part is routinely ₹2,000–₹5,000. Always confirm the current price, warranty terms and stock with the seller before you buy.
Performance figures are estimates. Frame rates shown are modelled from CPU and GPU performance indices, not measured on every combination. Real results vary with drivers, in-game settings, map, resolution scaling, background load and the specific board and memory you buy — expect ±15%, and more in edge cases. Treat these as tiers, not as review data.
Synthetic scores are reference values. Geekbench, Cinebench and 3DMark figures are typical published scores for each part, not results from your machine. Your own run will differ with cooling, power limits, memory speed, BIOS version and benchmark version. Integrated-graphics figures are scaled estimates rather than per-chip measurements.
Compatibility checking has limits. The checker covers socket, memory generation, DIMM count, cooler clearance, card length, case form factor and power draw. It cannot know about BIOS revisions, specific RAM QVL support, unusual case cutouts, cable lengths or a retailer shipping a different board revision. Confirm against the manufacturer spec sheets before ordering.

Where the money matters and where it does not. Read this before you spend ₹15,000 on a motherboard that makes you exactly zero frames faster.
Decides your ceiling in competitive games. Valorant, CS2 and BGMI lean on one or two fast cores, so a cheap 6-core with high clocks beats an expensive 16-core for pure fps. Sockets matter more than the chip: AM5 will take another two generations of upgrade, AM4 and LGA1700 are both at the end of their road.
The single biggest lever on frame rate at 1440p and above, and where roughly a third of a gaming budget belongs. Check VRAM as hard as you check the model number — an 8GB card in 2026 will stutter in newer titles at 1440p even when its average fps looks fine.
Two sticks, always — a single stick halves your memory bandwidth and costs you 10–20% in CPU-bound games for nothing. 16GB is the floor, 32GB is right for most builds now. Prices are brutal in 2026 because AI datacentres are buying every DRAM wafer that exists.
It does not make you faster. What it decides is what you can plug in later: how many M.2 slots, whether Wi-Fi is on board, how much power delivery the VRMs can sustain. Spend the minimum that covers your actual ports, then put the difference in the GPU.
NVMe only. The difference between a Gen3 and a Gen5 drive is nearly invisible in games; the difference between an SSD and a hard drive is enormous. 1TB fills up faster than you expect once two shooters are installed.
The one component where saving ₹2,000 can cost you every other part in the case. Buy a known brand, 80+ Bronze at minimum, and size it for peak transient draw rather than the number on the box. The builder above works the figure out for you.
Stock coolers are fine on 65W chips and nowhere near enough on 105W+ ones. A ₹3,500 dual-tower air cooler matches most 240mm liquid coolers, is quieter, and cannot leak. Check the height against your case before you buy.
Airflow over glass. A mesh front panel is worth more than any number of RGB fans. The two measurements that actually block a build are GPU clearance and cooler height — both are checked automatically above.
9 complete configurations from ₹39,100 to ₹6,06,500. Every one passes the compatibility checker. Open any of them in the builder above and change whatever you like.
Nine complete India builds, from a ₹40k APU box to a no-limits 4K machine. Every one is checked for compatibility and priced part by part. Want to change something? Open any of them in the custom builder.
No discrete GPU. In a market where the cheapest sensible card is ₹18,000, an APU is genuinely the best value under ₹50k.
~31 fps average at 1080p · ~21 fps at 1440p · ~153W under load
The cheapest build that still holds 200+ fps in Valorant and CS2. Everything here exists to feed a high-refresh monitor.
~121 fps average at 1080p · ~83 fps at 1440p · ~301W under load
AM4 clearance CPU, current-gen GPU. Best fps-per-rupee on this page if you are not planning a CPU upgrade later.
~144 fps average at 1080p · ~106 fps at 1440p · ~315W under load
The build I would actually assemble today. AM5 means you can drop a much faster CPU in later without replacing the board.
~183 fps average at 1080p · ~135 fps at 1440p · ~354W under load
ITX board in a 20-litre case. Costs a premium over mATX for the same parts — you are paying for the footprint.
~183 fps average at 1080p · ~135 fps at 1440p · ~364W under load
1440p at high refresh, with enough multi-core headroom to stream while you play.
~228 fps average at 1080p · ~176 fps at 1440p · ~399W under load
Weighted toward cores and RAM instead of raw GPU. Edits and encodes without turning the game into a slideshow.
~224 fps average at 1080p · ~166 fps at 1440p · ~517W under load
The 9800X3D is the fastest gaming CPU you can buy, and at 4K this pairing is GPU-bound in almost everything.
~276 fps average at 1080p · ~209 fps at 1440p · ~573W under load
Included for reference, not as a recommendation. The GPU alone costs more than the entire sweet-spot build.
~338 fps average at 1080p · ~292 fps at 1440p · ~949W under load

Component vendors currently priced in the builder. Availability in India varies — Nehru Place and the big online specialists carry all of these, general marketplaces do not.
Around ₹85,000–₹1,10,000 is the sweet spot right now. Below ₹50,000 an APU build with no discrete graphics card is genuinely the better buy, because the cheapest sensible GPU alone costs ₹18,000 and eats the rest of the budget. Above ₹1,50,000 you are paying for 1440p and 4K headroom rather than for playable frame rates.
AI datacentre demand absorbed most global DRAM production, roughly doubling DDR5 prices and tripling DDR4. A 32GB DDR5 kit that cost about ₹12,000 in 2024 is ₹38,000–₹48,000 now. NAND flash is in a similar squeeze, which is why SSDs are 30–50% up on their mid-2024 prices. Neither is expected to ease meaningfully before 2027.
AM5 unless the budget genuinely will not stretch. AM4 parts are cheap and still fast enough for 1080p, but the socket is done — the only upgrade left is a 5700X3D. AM5 boards will take future Ryzen chips, so the extra spend now buys you a drop-in CPU upgrade in three years instead of a whole new platform.
Enormously, and more than the GPU. Both titles are CPU-bound at competitive settings, so pushing past 300 fps depends on single-core speed and memory latency, not on your graphics card. Switch the builder above to 1080p and watch which component it says is limiting you — for esports titles it is almost always the processor.
At 1080p, mostly yes. At 1440p, no — newer titles exceed it and the symptom is stutter and texture pop-in rather than a low average frame rate, which is exactly why it is easy to miss in a spec comparison. If you are choosing between an 8GB and a 16GB version of the same card, the 16GB one ages far better.
They are modelled, not measured. Each estimate blends a CPU index and a GPU index per game, weighted by how that title behaves, then applies resolution and VRAM penalties. That is good enough to tell you which performance tier a build lands in and where its bottleneck is. It is not review data — expect ±15% against real benchmarks depending on drivers, settings and the specific board.
Compare Amazon.in and Flipkart against specialist retailers such as MD Computers, PrimeABGB, Vedant Computers and TheITDepot before ordering — the spread on the same part is routinely ₹2,000–₹5,000, and the specialists are often cheaper on cases and power supplies. Whoever you use, check the warranty is Indian and not an import.
