Budget 41-50k Cheapo Gaming PC Build

1. What is your budget?
   • 50K. can maybe stretch to 55ish
2. What is your existing hardware configuration (component name - component brand and model)
   • None. I have a bunch of laptops
3. Which hardware will you be keeping (component name - component brand and model)
   • Viewsonic e70fSB (its a 16 year old CRT from my ~2004 desktop which surprisingly still works and kicks ass on the display. CRT whine takes a bit of getting used to )
   • Plenty of Speakers, amps, headphones, mice, keyboards.
   • Have an external DVD Writer.
4. Which hardware component are you looking to buy (component name). If you have already decided on a configuration then please mention the (component brand and model) as well, this will help us in fine tuning your requirement.
   • Open to ideas. Looking for the cabinet and stuff that goes into it
   • CPU
   • Mobo
   • RAM
   • SSD and HDD
   • PSU
   • Cabinet
   • Wifi +BT adapter
5. Is this going to be your final configuration or you would be adding/upgrading a component in near future. If yes then please mention when and which component
   • Looking at current prices, I am not sure buying a GPU at this point makes sense. I have traditionally bought IGP setups (Geforce 2 MX, Geforce 4 MX, Geforce 6100) so thinking about a ryzen APU setup
6. Where will you buy this hardware? (Online/City/TE Dealer)
   • Trivandrum
   • Open to online purchase
7. Would you consider buying a second hand hardware from the TE market
   • CPU, Storage, RAM, - Maybe
   • Motherboard - NO
8. What is your intended use for this PC/hardware
   • Gaming
   • Maybe the occasional movie
9. Do you have any brand preference or dislike? Please name them and the reason for your preference/dislike.
   • Have always bought AMD rigs because they tend to come with good IGP options, looking at Ryzen options again for the same reasons
10. If you will be playing games then which type of games will you be playing?
    • CS GO
    • SP FPS such as CoD, Titanfall 2. Mostly older games, though would like to see what i can play based on my budget
11. What is your preferred monitor resolution for gaming and normal usage
    1. I would prefer a Full HD (1920*1080) screen of the smallest size, but practically because of GPU constraints end up playing at 640*480
12. Are you looking to overclock?
    • No
13. Which operating system do you intend to use with this configuration?
    • Windows 10 64 Bit

Background - I had been using a HP elitebook 840 G1 which i had modded so much that i even upgraded the motherboard to the Discrete gfx version. In the US, getting parts on ebay is not a challenge, so maintaining it was not a challenge - I went through 3 motherboards and 2 displays as i have 2 toddlers at home and laptops tend to have a hard life. In India, though I am finding that laptop parts availability is very tough and prices are $$$$. I am really not too keen on a desktop, but I am convinced that 1. Gaming laptops, especially budget ones have poor thermals unsuited to indian heat and dust. 2. Getting replacement parts and service for laptops in india is next to impossible. So looking at the desktop route.

I am thinking of a 3400G+ B450 combo, but not sure if a 3300X+ low end GPU is a better combo. Anyway open to suggestions as I have not checked out the desktop scene for a very long time. I would like a cabinet as small and Wife friendly and non bling as possible (Should not look big/expensive to wife and kids) I like the CM elite 120/130 type cabinet, maybe even smaller. This will not be my primary machine - mostly for weekend gaming. I have a work laptop and a personal laptop which tends to get used during weekdays.

I will upgrade the monitor eventually (my old monitor is just to get started), and may eventually get a good GPU once prices stabilize (Maybe in a few years at this rate).
