Hi everyone,

I’m planning to build a PC mainly for:

Networking lab work (DWDM/OTN docs, multitasking)

Mid-level gaming (GTA V, Cyberpunk, etc.)

Daily productivity + media consumption

Here’s the build I’m considering:

CPU: Intel i5-12400F

Motherboard: Gigabyte B760M DS3H DDR5

RAM: 16GB DDR5 (will upgrade to 32GB later)

GPU: RTX 4060 (8GB)

Storage: 1TB NVMe SSD

PSU: 650W 80+ Bronze

Cabinet: Mid-tower with good airflow

Questions:

Is RTX 4060 good enough for local AI workloads (LLMs, Stable Diffusion)?

Should I consider Ryzen (5600 / 7600) instead of i5-12400F?

Any bottlenecks in this build?

Is 16GB RAM enough initially or should I go 32GB from start?

Any better alternatives in the same budget (~₹80–90K for build)?

I’m planning to buy from SP Road (Bangalore) — if anyone has recent pricing or shop recommendations, that would really help.

Would appreciate any suggestions, upgrades, or things to avoid 🙏
