I live in Madhya Pradesh and want to build a gaming PC with a budget of around ₹1.20 lakh, though I can stretch it to ₹1.50 lakh if the extra money provides a meaningful performance upgrade. My main goal is smooth gaming at high settings in modern AAA games. I have limited experience choosing PC components, so I would appreciate a complete parts list, preferably based on a Ryzen processor. I'm also comfortable buying from a reliable offline shop in Bhopal or Pune, so recommendations for trustworthy local stores would be helpful.

At this budget, focus the money on the graphics card rather than overspending on the processor or unnecessary extras. A Ryzen 5 gaming CPU paired with a strong current-generation GPU, 32GB of RAM, and a 1TB NVMe SSD would make a balanced system. Depending on local pricing, a Radeon RX 9070-class card could be a very good choice for high-refresh 1440p gaming. Make sure the power supply is a reliable 750W or 850W model from a reputable brand.
A build around ₹1.2 lakh should already handle modern AAA games very well at 1440p, although “lag-free” performance will depend on the game, resolution, and settings. Consider something like a Ryzen 5 7600 or similar AM5 processor, B650 motherboard, 32GB DDR5 memory, a 1TB SSD, and the best GPU available after accounting for the case, cooler, and power supply. Spending the full ₹1.5 lakh only makes sense if it moves you to a clearly stronger graphics card or a better monitor.
Use a current parts-pricing site to compare several configurations before buying. Prices for graphics cards, memory, and SSDs can change considerably, so don’t commit to one exact list without checking current stock. An established local builder in Bhopal or Pune can be useful, but ask for the exact model numbers, sealed components, individual invoices, warranty details, and a proper stress test before accepting the PC. Avoid paying extra for flashy accessories if the money could improve the GPU.
I’m mainly looking for a strong gaming build rather than an actual supercomputer. I’ll compare prices and prioritize the graphics card and reliable components.
I can stretch the budget by about ₹30,000 if that would provide a major performance improvement. I’d rather spend a little more now than regret saving later.
