I'm putting together my first PC and I need some advice on choosing the right GPU and CPU. I'm stuck between going for AM4 or AM5 for the CPU. AM4 is much cheaper, but AM5 offers better performance. For the GPU, I'm considering options like the 7700XT, 7600XT, or 4060ti, among others. Ultimately, I want a setup that can run AAA games at around 70 fps at 1080p on medium settings. Would it be worth spending 97k INR on an AM5 setup for just 1080p gaming, or can I manage with an AM4 setup using a 7700XT or something less expensive? Here's what I'm looking at:
**AM4 Build:**
- CPU: R5 5600X
- MB: MSI B550M Pro-VDH Wifi
- RAM: Adata XPG Spectrix D60G16X2 3600MHz
- GPU: RX 7600 XT
- PSU: Ant Esports FG750 750W 80 Plus Gold SMPS
- Fan: Deepcool LE520 240mm Liquid CPU Cooler
- SSD: Crucial P3 Plus 1TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe M.2
**AM5 Build:**
- CPU: R5 7600X
- MB: MSI B650M Gaming Plus Wifi
- RAM: G.Skill Flare X5 (16GBX2) DDR5 6000MHz
- GPU: Gigabyte Radeon RX 7700 XT Gaming OC
- PSU: Ant Esports FG750 750W 80 Plus Gold SMPS
- Fan: Deepcool LE520 240mm Liquid CPU Cooler
- SSD: Crucial P3 Plus 1TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe M.2

I think the AM5 build is the way to go! It offers better longevity and performance. You won’t need the liquid cooler, and the Ryzen 7 7700 is a great choice that will keep your system running smoothly for years to come.
The 7700XT is definitely a better choice compared to the 7600XT. If you can stretch your budget a little, you should consider the RX 7800XT for even better performance, although it's a bit pricier at around 53k INR.
Yeah, but the 7700XT is a solid pick at around 39k. Just needs a bit of budgeting.
