Best Gaming PC Build Under Rs. 60,000: November 2019edit
AMD’s mid-range performance king, the Ryzen 5 3500 based on the 7nm Zen 2 architecture is finally here. With a price lower than the Intel Core i5-9400F, it promises to be the go-to CPU for builders in the sub-60K range. It’s almost the same as the 3600 except drops SMT which isn’t a must for games anyway. Although we haven’t tested it just yet, knowing how potent the other 3rd Gen Ryzen processors are, we’re pretty confident that it’ll give the Intel competitors a run for their money.
