I'm transitioning from using a laptop to wanting to build an Intel desktop PC. I have very little knowledge about the components that would work best for my needs. My budget is 1.5 lakh INR, and I'm mainly focused on heavy video editing, motion graphics work, and some light gaming, particularly story-driven games. I'm located in India and already have my screen and peripherals, but I'm uncertain about what else I might need for this setup.

It’s great that you’re making the move to a PC! First off, how heavy is your video editing? If you're doing a lot of rendering or using multiple effects, that changes things. For your budget, I’d recommend looking into getting a used GPU, as that’ll help you allocate more funds for storage. Just a heads-up, DDR5 RAM prices are pretty high right now, so consider that too!
Yes, I’ve been doing heavy editing on my laptop, like using multiple effects on layers. It varies based on what's needed, but I aim to handle motion graphics, 3D layers, and tasks like rotoscoping and tracking. I’m thinking of getting an Intel i7 and at least 32GB of RAM, with an RTX 40 series 8GB GPU for now. Ideally, I want to keep everything under budget—any thoughts?
