Noob here. Need to build PC with a max budget of 60k.

Hi guys. So this is the first I'm building a pc and I don't know where to start. My overall budget is 60k, which includes buying a mouse and a keyboard and a monitor. Like I mentioned in the title, I'm a completely beginner so I'd appreciate if you'd tell me which specific things to buy. I want best bang for buck. THANK YOU. :)

Lenovo B5400 is a good choice for you. Slim, a good battery life and it also has the version with the GPU

Guys need a new psu. UPGRADING FROM A GTX560TI to a GIGABYTE RADEON 7950.

I need atleast a 550watt or 600 watt psu with an efficiency of 80%.
Budget is around 4k I guess.

I don't mind 2nd hand stuff from PG either :)

I am very confused guys, I need to buy a laptop and have have 70k as the budget,

I need it to run GTA5 in the future as well as I will be using it for software development.

The problem is I can't find any under my budget, especially good brands like dell Lenovo and HP.

My experience with acer and toshiba was not good, so I probably won't prefer buying them.

    BTW, i started Ghost of Tsushima, and it got me hooked within the first couple of minutes. I already know It's gonna be a memorable experience. This is how you make a proper Samurai game. Not that SJW game Ubisoft is making.

    That's still higher than it's total play length. A 5 hour campaign for a $50 game is downright scammy.

    Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.
    The cross gen era really made people think 60fps would be a new standard lol

    Welp, done with Hellblade 2. Thoroughly disappointed. Such a nothing burger after the unique experience of the first game.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    As per WCCF Tech review, Xbox Series X doesn't even maintain a consistent FPS and sometimes drops into the mid-20fps range. That's unacceptable, tbh.

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
