Next month, I’m undertaking a desktop computer assembly project and I'm uncertain about the choice between an i5-8400 processor and an R5 2600. As a beginner in PC construction, I would appreciate recommendations for reliable, affordable components – specifically RAM, a power supply unit (PSU), motherboard, hard drive, and solid-state drive (SSD). I’m optimistic that the community's assistance will be invaluable during my initial build. My goal is to achieve 1080p gaming at 60 frames per second with maximum settings.

Defining “budged” is impossible as interpretations vary greatly; some consider $1,500 a reasonable budget while others see $600 as sufficient.

The price is 130,000 Pakistani Rupees. I’m using the local currency. An Intel i5-8400 processor is more affordable than an AMD Ryzen 5 2600 and is readily obtainable. Motherboards based on Ryzen processors tend to be costly. I'm aiming for premium components within a limited budget.
