I'm making the switch from a laptop to a desktop PC because upgrading my laptop costs a lot each time—about 30,000 to 50,000 Rupees. I'd like to build an entry-level PC instead, starting with the following parts and hoping to upgrade slowly over time as I can afford it. Here's what I've picked:
- AMD Ryzen 3 3200G with Radeon Vega 8 Graphics (4 Cores, up to 4GHz)
- ASRock Phantom Gaming Radeon RX550 (4GB GDDR5)
- MSI MAG A550BN 550W Power Supply (80 Plus Bronze)
- MSI B450M-A PRO MAX II Motherboard (Micro-ATX, AM4)
- OTEK Xcore 8GB DDR4 RAM (3200MHz)
- ZEBRONICS V22HD+ 22-Inch Monitor (HD+)
- EVM 512GB M.2 SATA SSD
- FRONTECH RGB CPU Cooler
- ZEBRONICS U1205 UPS
- Ant Esports Elite 1100 Mid-Tower Case
The total cost is around 55,000 Rupees, but I plan to sell my laptop for about 10,000 Rupees, bringing my effective cost down to 45,000. I'm hoping to get some feedback on whether I've made any rookie mistakes. I apologize if there's a delay in my replies, and thanks for your help! (Estimated cost in USD: $400-$500)

I see what you’re going for, but those specs might not give you the best performance. If you’re planning to use a dedicated GPU, you could skip the 'G' model Ryzen as it comes with integrated graphics. Maybe share your budget in dollars and see if others can help you with a more balanced build. Just a thought!
Thanks for the input! I know it’s not the best, but it's a huge upgrade for me from 4GB RAM with no dedicated GPU. I'm hoping to slowly upgrade parts later. Appreciate the advice!
