I'm currently in India and have a budget of about ₹50,000, roughly $520 USD. I want the highest gaming performance possible for that money, with as few compromises as possible. Should I build new, shop for used parts, or consider a complete used PC?

The answer depends on what you mean by maximum performance. Around ₹50,000 can usually get you solid 1080p gaming at medium-to-high settings, especially with used parts. If you specifically want 1080p ultra settings or higher refresh-rate gaming, you’ll likely need to increase the budget somewhat. Prices and availability can also vary a lot depending on your city.
At this budget, used hardware is probably the best route. Look for a system with an RTX 2060, RTX 3050, or Radeon RX 6600 if you can find one at a fair price. Those cards should provide a much better 1080p experience than most new options available within ₹50,000.
A new build is possible, but it will be more of a budget or midrange system rather than a truly no-compromise machine. One example in this range could use a used RX 580 with a Core i5-10600KF, along with an affordable case and several fans. Just make sure the used graphics card is tested and the power supply is from a reliable brand.
