Hey guys,

I have got a build here - https://in.pcpartpicker.com/list/wvk7BP

That's for my friend and i have to adjust a desktop as well within 70k ₹. Anything between 1080p and 1440p is acceptable. So, it would be a great help if you guys could advice me on desktop and any other changea required. Use websites like 'Theitdepot' and 'Primeagbg' rather than amazon.

I notice you only have 1x8 kingston hyperfury. Ryzen is memory sensitive, and likely requires Dual channel (2x8 dimm) to maintain adequate performance. In addition, for not much more you can Probably change from the 1600 to the 1600x. I recommend not buying from two seperate bins as well, knowing of ryzens memory teething issues.

You might try this set of memory: https://in.pcpartpicker.com/product/y9rcCJ/corsair-memory-cmk16gx4m2a2400c16 for 7800
which should give you just enough of a bargain to grab the 1600x for a price right on the cusp of that 70k. The link has c16 in title, but the description says c15 timings so you might want to verify.

there is also https://in.pcpartpicker.com/product/RJVBD3/crucial-memory-bls2k8g4d240fsb for 7600, although its latency is 16 base versus your original and the corsair memory for 15 base CAS.

If you friend doesn't mind Overclocking he could probably tweak the memory timings a little bit himself, allowing you to buy a set that is even cheaper. I believe I noticed some 2x8 ddr4 for as low as 7200.

Overall I believe you chose parts well.
