In late June, I had ordered components for my high-end gaming PC and one by one over the course of July those components started arriving. My old gaming laptop had started to give up. Heating issues near keyboard while idle, frequent frame drops and freezes and graphics/animation slowness forced my hand to buy a new PC.
Now most of my build is completed, just the webcam is yet to arrive. Here are some pics of the setup:
Here are the components used inside the PC. A majority of them were purchased from shwetacomputers.com when Gigabyte was running a promo sale with select retailers while the rest were from Amazon:
Except the motherboard, all the other Shweta components as well as the Samsung SSD were all bought on a 3 month no cost EMI. Overall I saved around 50k thanks to the sale.
My overall budget for the required components was 3-3.1L, but thanks to the sale, I adjusted my budget a little to accommodate the water cooled GPU.
Given that this is a high-end gaming PC, games run extremely smooth. Even current games on Ray traced at 1080p Max settings are giving very good results. Pretty close to my monitor's 165Hz refresh rate and Nvidia's overlay actually shows 1000+ FPS on a few modern games..

Next I want to upgrade the monitor, but unfortunately right now in India there are no OLED DisplayPort 2.1 monitors yet. The big advantage with those is that 4K@240Hz does not use DSC anymore and instead utilizes UHBR, so color accuracy is maintained. Current 4K 240Hz monitors use DisplayPort 1.4 with DSC.
