I have a budget of ₹1,00,000 for the PC tower only and want to prioritize maximum gaming performance and FPS above everything else. I don't care about RGB, aesthetics, noise levels, built-in Wi-Fi, or future upgradeability. What CPU and GPU combination, along with the rest of the parts, would give the best gaming performance within this budget? Indian pricing and availability would be especially helpful.

One suggested parts list uses a Ryzen 7 5700X, RX 9060 XT 16GB, 16GB of DDR4-3200 memory, a 512GB NVMe SSD, an A520 motherboard, a 650W Gold-rated PSU, an AG400-class air cooler, and an airflow-focused case. The listed total comes to about ₹1,02,000, so it would need a small price cut to fit the budget. For a gaming-focused build, I’d also try to stretch the storage to at least 1TB and verify that the motherboard and power supply are reliable models before buying.
A 512GB SSD will fill up quickly with modern games. If possible, save a little elsewhere and get a 1TB drive.
Another budget-oriented option pairs an i5-12400F with an RX 7600, 16GB of DDR4, a basic motherboard, a 2TB hard drive, a low-cost case, and a 4K PSU. However, that combination is less attractive for maximum gaming performance: the RX 7600 is notably weaker than higher-tier options, and a hard drive will make game loading much slower. I’d prioritize a stronger graphics card and use an SSD rather than spending this much on mechanical storage.
Using a hard drive as the main game drive is probably not worth it here. A smaller SSD is a much better starting point, with additional storage added later if needed.
Check current bundle pricing carefully, since some deals may no longer include the RAM. The final total can change quite a bit depending on whether memory is included.
