I'm in Telangana, India, and need help putting together a complete PC setup, including the monitor, keyboard, mouse, and other peripherals. My budget is around ₹1,00,000, though I can stretch it if necessary. The main use will be gaming, with possible schoolwork later. I'd like to play demanding RPGs such as Cyberpunk 2077 at 1080p on high settings and would prefer a reasonably future-proof system. I don't know much about PC hardware, so I'm looking for a realistic parts list and advice on avoiding overpriced or unsuitable components at local stores.

Be careful with store quotes and outdated recommendations. Ask for exact model numbers, current prices, warranty details, and the total cost before agreeing. Avoid generic power supplies, single-stick memory when possible, and paying extra for unnecessary RGB. A local shop should be able to explain why each part was selected, not just offer a vague package.
The budget is tight if it has to cover the entire setup, especially with current graphics card, DDR5 memory, and SSD prices. You may need to raise the budget, wait for better pricing, or compromise on peripherals and upgrade them later. Don’t assume an old parts list is still valid—check the current price of every component before buying.
If the priority is gaming performance rather than having the newest platform, an AM4 build with a Ryzen 5 5600 and a strong graphics card can still deliver excellent 1080p results and often better value. The tradeoff is a less convenient upgrade path than AM5, so choose this only if you want the best performance within a strict budget.
A sensible target is a Ryzen 5 7600 or similar processor paired with a midrange graphics card, 16GB or preferably 32GB of RAM, a 1TB NVMe SSD, and a good 650W power supply. That kind of system should handle 1080p gaming well, but fitting it plus a monitor and accessories under ₹1 lakh may require choosing a less expensive GPU or buying some peripherals separately.
