PC Build under 1 Lakh

Things to consider to build a PC in Nepal

GPU (Graphics Processing Unit)

Well, one would simply not expect high end graphics while building a budget PC. Still, we have got a fairly powerful PNY GeForce RTX 3050 8GB for the AMD version. You can also go for a ASUS Dual GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER OC Edition on the Intel variant.

Processor (CPU)

For this price, you are getting the last gen silicon– Intel Core i5-12400. Or, you can also go for AMD Ryzen 5 5600X CPU. Both are capable processors and should suffice your basic editing/gaming/casual needs, without breaking a sweat.

Motherboards

A motherboard is essentially a circuit board that connects all of the components of your PC. Its selection is primarily determined by the brand of CPUs you intend to use in your build. Intel and AMD CPUs use different motherboards, each with its own set of sockets and chipsets. Here, you can opt between Gigabyte B550M DS3 and MSI B660M Mortar.

CPU Heatsink / Fan

Cooling is an important component of a CPU build and has a direct impact on how well your processor performs. Cooling options range from simple fans and heatsinks to sophisticated liquid cooling systems. For this price point, you’ll have to settle with a normal stock fan.

Power Supply Unit

The Power Supply Unit (PSU), as the name implies, provides the necessary power for your build to function. We have brought Goldkist 750W PSU Bronze options with 80+ rating.

RAM

RAM is the computer's volatile or short-term memory. There are numerous RAM manufacturers to choose from but to avoid any problems, stick with branded RAM. Anyone building a PC in 2023 should at least consider DDR4 RAM, which is also sufficient for gaming and editing. For the price, you can have 8GB or 16GB of RAM as per the CPU configuration.

Storage

Generally, there are two types of storage to choose from: SSD, and HDD. Although your storage options will have little impact on your gameplay and frame rate, they will have a significant impact on your PC's responsiveness, installation time, app opening times, and data transfer speeds. Since Hard drives are too slow, we recommend an SSD for your games and system files. But, if you work with large amounts of video and media, investing in them (HDDS) for bulk storage might not be a bad idea either. 256GB SSD should be a minimum for a pc build under 1 lakh and you can always upgrade it later on.

Case

Finally, a case is what holds everything together. For the build, you can find the PC Case for as little as Rs. 10,000 in Nepal and the high-end variants can go really steep in price. The amount of airflow allowed by the case results in more efficient cooling, not to mention lower noise levels. For all types of PC builds, an MSI Windtalker W500 case with 4 fans will suffice.
