₹25k is the cheapest PC worth building in 2026. Below this you’re better off buying a refurb business desktop.

Why a 5600G over an i3
- 5600G has 6 cores vs i3-12100’s 4 — cores matter for Zoom + screen-share + 20 tabs
- AM4 has cheaper boards than LGA1700
- Vega 7 iGPU > UHD 730 by 30%+
What to skip at this tier
- 8GB single stick — single-channel makes the iGPU and CPU both feel slow
- HDD-only — boot times kill productivity. NVMe is non-negotiable
- Pre-built brands at this price — they cut PSU + RAM corners
Upgrade path
This build lasts 5+ years for office work. If it ever gets sluggish, drop in a Ryzen 5 5600 + RX 6600 and it becomes a ₹50k gaming build.
