Hi everyone, I’m building my gaming PC with a budget around ₹1 lakh mainly for 1440p gaming in India. I’d like opinions on whether these builds are balanced and if there are better value parts I should consider.

Build Option 1 – RX 7700 XT

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600
• Motherboard: MSI B550M PRO-VDH WIFI
• GPU: Sapphire PULSE RX 7700 XT 12GB
• RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws V 16GB DDR4 3200MHz (1x16GB)
• SSD: Samsung 980 1TB PCIe 3.0
• Cooler: Deepcool AG400 ARGB
• PSU: Deepcool GamerStorm PN750D 750W Gold
• Cabinet: Antec CX700 RGB Elite

Build Option 2 – RX 9060 XT 16GB

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600
• Motherboard: MSI B550M PRO-VDH WIFI
• GPU: Sapphire PULSE RX 9060 XT OC 16GB
• RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws V 16GB DDR4 3200MHz (1x16GB)
• SSD: Samsung 980 1TB PCIe 3.0
• Cooler: Deepcool AG400 ARGB
• PSU: Deepcool GamerStorm PN650D 650W Gold
• Cabinet: Antec CX700 ARGB

Main questions:

1. Which GPU would you choose for 1440p gaming and long-term value?
2. Is the Ryzen 5 5600 still enough for this tier of GPU?
3. Should I switch to 2x8GB RAM instead of 1x16GB which i plan to buy later on?
4. Is the Samsung 980 worth it, or are SSDs like WD SN770 / XPG S60 Blade / Crucial T500 better value?
5. Are the PSU and cabinet choices good?
6. Any better changes you’d make while keeping the budget near ₹1 lakh?

Would really appreciate suggestions before I finalize the build.
