This setup seems aimed at gaming, but it could also serve other purposes depending on the components used.
I suggest choosing the ASUS Z390 E Gaming board because it matches your ATX case size. It also includes an AI-powered overclocking option that lets you utilize all boost clocks from your CPU and GPU. If you're a data scientist like me, I'd also suggest opting for a 2080TI (you only live once! )
Hey there, it looks like you're from India too. Let's tackle the parts you need. For getting the best PC components at the lowest cost, I’d suggest checking online marketplaces and local electronics stores. As for the graphics card, upgrading to an RTX 2080 Ti would really boost your budget, but it’s a big investment. The best deals I found were around 100,000 INR for the RTX 2080 Ti. If you go with a ROG model, it’s about 114k INR. I’m also seeing the RTX 2070 Super for 58K INR, so sticking with that seems more practical. Just remember, I’m not a data scientist—I’m just a gamer!
Excited to connect online with another Indian I purchased components from MD and Vedant Computers... the rates are quite favorable. If you're in Kolkata, you might want to check out their physical locations. Honestly, your storage ideas seem a bit excessive. If I were you, I'd opt for a 1TB NVMe drive (for Windows and software) and WD 4TB HDDs (for games and other needs), which can be enhanced with Intel Optane. Saving here could let you upgrade to a 2080ti instead of a 2070. You can expand with another NVMe later if you wish.
I was thinking about skipping the SATA III and going with a 6TB HDD instead. Even then, I’d save only around 10k in storage costs (SATA III usually costs about 20k). So it still wouldn’t reach the 2080Ti. I’m considering upgrading to an i7-9700K and using some extra cash to get a RTX 2080. That would work fine, though my CPU might be the bottleneck if I go with a 9900K and an RTX 2070S. I’m also getting a good deal on a 2TB NVMe drive and moving to 1TB would only save me a few thousand INR. Overall, I think the older setup is still the better choice.
