Concluding Thoughts (4 Best Gaming PC Build Configuration Rs 70,000 or $700):
You should try to get the best graphics card and processor that you can afford as it is not something that is easily sold and replaced.
Intel has a slight advantage when it comes to the Gaming performance for the 12th Gen processors, but AMD is not far behind. If you want to do video editing and run more productivity Apps, AMD is also a great choice.
Graphics Cards- The Nvidia Cards GTX 1660 and GTX 1660 Super or 1660 Ti are so much better compared to the AMD Radeon series both in terms of performance and thermal efficiency. You can also check out the new Nvdia RTX 3050 Graphics card (it is a little expensive but worth it). You can replace the GTX 1660 in our builds with the RTX 3050 if you have higher budget.
