I'm looking to build a desktop computer in India with a budget of around ₹40,000. The system will mainly be used for Microsoft Office, email, web browsing, and children's schoolwork—no gaming or demanding software. I already have a monitor, keyboard, mouse, cables, and UPS, so the budget is only for the computer itself. Please suggest specific makes and models for all the components.

A new build around this budget could use an AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT with integrated graphics. A possible parts list is: Ryzen 5 5600GT, ASUS Prime B550M-K motherboard, 8GB DDR4-3600 memory, 512GB NVMe SSD, Cooler Master MWE 450 Bronze power supply, and a DeepCool CC550 case. The listed prices come to roughly ₹49,000, so switching to a less expensive SATA SSD, choosing a cheaper case, or finding discounts could bring it closer to ₹40,000. For this workload, 16GB RAM would be preferable if the budget allows it.
Since the workload is so light, prioritize reliability, an SSD, and at least 8GB of RAM rather than a powerful processor or graphics card. Integrated graphics are completely sufficient. Make sure the power supply is from a reputable brand, and consider 16GB RAM if the computer will be used for several years or with many browser tabs open.
The computer is only for Microsoft Office, routine email, browsing, and children’s schoolwork. I don’t need gaming or demanding applications, and I already have the monitor, UPS, keyboard, mouse, and cables. The budget is ₹40,000 in India.
