Looking to build a powerful yet budget-friendly PC that supports the latest features like DLSS 4, Ray Tracing, and Path-Tracing? In 2025, it’s absolutely possible to put together a machine for under ₹1.2 lakh- that means at least one of your kidneys is safe.
Let’s dive in!!
CPU
At the heart of our build is the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, arguably the best single-core performer right now. This CPU outpaces even the higher-priced alternatives, delivering superb FPS in gaming and buttery smooth workflow performance for productivity tasks.
Budget Alternative:
If you’re not on budget, the Ryzen 5 9600 is a solid starting point. It’s upgradeable and still offers good performance for most tasks, though for this guide’s benchmarks, we’re using the 9800X3D.
GPU
The highlight of this build is the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB from ASUS.
We’d like to thank ASUS for supporting this project—and it’s worth pointing out a few key things:
- Even in their budget-friendly Prime model, the build quality is top-notch.
- Dual fan Axial-Tech cooling ensures silent and efficient performance.
- Sub-components, soldering, and capacitors are military-grade, making ASUS a premium choice—even in the budget category.
- The 2.5-slot design is perfect for small form-factor builds.
Performance & Features:
- DLSS 4 support brings AI upscaling to the next level.
- Ray Tracing with no performance-killing drawbacks.
- NVIDIA Reflex ensures ultra-low latency in competitive games like Valorant, MWIII, and Fortnite.
- New Transformer-based DLSS enhances visual fidelity, especially with reflections, transparent surfaces, and background NPC detail.
Benchmarks:
With DLSS and Ray Tracing turned on, expect up to 4x better performance than ??? thanks to Multi-Frame Generation—a feature exclusive to the RTX 50 series that creates three additional frames for every single rendered one.
Some games are actually unplayable without AI upscaling.
And if you’re still not convinced, watch this video on our channel. Which covers why the gaming industry is shifting towards AI-driven rendering, so GPUs without DLSS support will soon be obsolete for AAA titles. But with the 5060 Ti, you’re future-proofed for at least the next 4 years.
Why Is It Future-Proof?
Most upcoming games are built for current-gen consoles like PS5/Xbox Series X, which are roughly equivalent to a 2070 Super or 3060.
The 5060 Ti is already ahead by two generations, and will comfortably handle modern titles until consoles like the PS7 launch.
Productivity Powerhouse
For creators and professionals, the 5060 Ti also delivers in DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Creative Suite, and other 3D rendering tools, thanks to its robust support for AI-accelerated workflows.
RAM:
32GB DDR5 is the sweet spot for gaming + productivity.
Want to run After Effects, Chrome and GamingI all at once? Then go for 64GB, or prepare to hear your PC cry.
Reputable brands: Corsair, G.Skill, T-Force
Storage:
- 1TB NVMe SSD for OS, main apps, and your primary game.
- 1TB HDD for backup and bulk storage.
Motherboard
Motherboard is pretty basic – we’re using the ASUS B650M Gaming Wi-Fi.
- DDR5 support
- Multiple NVMe slots
- 4x DIMM slots for future RAM upgrades
- Built-in Wi-Fi – No more Ethernet cables turning your room into a spider web.
Cooler
Ryzen 5 9600: Stock cooler is enough unless you live in a volcano
Ryzen 7 9800X3D: Go with a budget air cooler like the DeepCool AG400 for long-term thermal stability.
PSU
Calculate your build’s total power draw and multiply by 1.5 for safe overhead.
Gold-rated PSU from Corsair or DeepCool recommended as they are reliable and efficient without frying.
Cabinet / Case
This is subjective—Pick what you like as long as it fits the GPU and has decent airflow.
Bonus points if it has RGB – because what’s performance without a little personality?
Conclusion
And all of this should cost you roundabout 1 to 1.2 lakh rupees. And you can pretty much do anything you want with this system.
Not just gaming at 2K? but you can literally run AI models locally, you can build games, you can do high-production color grading, VFX. Anything… and everything, if you’re that crazy.
