1) Basic Desktop for normal home users

Many people still prefer building cheap computers desktop sets. The most used processor is Core 2 Duo and it is more than 10 years old. This set is still good for very basic tasks such as browsing the internet and working in MS Office. We don’t recommend getting older hardware, but if you do, it is better to get Core 2 Quad because 4 cores help a lot.

2) Moderate Desktop for medium users

This PC is for people who game, use multimedia, photo editing, and some other mildly demanding processes. Intel Core i3 processors are now quad core and they can be really great. Core i3 9100F can support graphics cards like GTX 1660 Ti with ease, which can give pleasing results. For the best results, we suggest our readers to get at least 128 GB SSD to see the real-world performance upgrade. The below-given set has a basic GPU and memory. Our recommendation is using at least 8 GB RAM and GTX 1050/1050 Ti. GTX 1650 Super and GTX 1660 is also a very good pair. If you want, you can go for RTX 2060 as well.

3) Mainstream Gaming, work and multimedia set

This computer setup is very powerful with a Hexa-core processor and a good graphics card for gaming. Core i5 10400F comes with 6 cores and 12 threads, which is a lot of power. New Intel processors with F in their name don’t have iGPU. So we need a dedicated graphics card. This processor can support high-end graphics cards like RTX 2080 Super and RTX 3080 as well. It is a computer made for productivity, work, gaming, and editing. For gamers or professionals, we recommend getting 16 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD, and a good graphics card. The RTX 2060 Super is a very good match for this processor to get the best results in games and editing workloads.

4) High End gaming, work plus editing computer

These types of computers are for big players and power consumers or users. We have seen offices and IT organizations buying these for intense server work, computing, designing, etc. These PC are fit for various heavy-load types of work, games, and multimedia tasks. We are pairing the 10th generation processor with the best RTX graphics card here. It has 8 cores, and 16 threads which is great for multicore and multithread workloads. The single-core frequency is also high enough for gaming when compared with new CPUs out there.

5) Top Level Consumer Desktop PC

This category mainly includes the latest and the best processor available for normal consumers. It also means the best platform for the highest end users. Usually, corporate needs are different. Therefore Intel and AMD make special platforms and CPU for them. For example, Core i9 10900KF is the top-level consumer desktop CPU for now, while Core i9 10980XE is the best HEDT CPU. Intel Xeon Platinum 8253 is the top server and workstation processor, while AMD EPYC is the red team’s server offering. So this is the best setup for consumers in our view. This can also be taken as a top end gaming pc price in Nepal.

6) Enthusiast Level Workstation High-End Desktop (HEDT)

This is the GOD level series in the high end computing market. We rarely hear people using desktop computers in this range. They have different architecture and unparalleled power. This kind of desktop PC comes under HPC (High Performance Computing). It is for the people who have the highest demand and need the best in the market. Users who need high core count, overclocking, and power use this type of PC. It is not a normal consumer platform and it is mainly for enthusiasts and enterprises.

7) AMD Ryzen Entry Level Desktop PC

The AMD Ryzen market is very small in Nepal. It is so small that it is very hard to find in the Nepali market. If you want to buy AMD setup at a good cost, we have only found some stores. They sell a few numbers of entry, mid and high-end chips. 10 years ago, there was a small market of low-end AMD processors. However, they lost it in the way, but they are back again. If Ryzen can take a good market share in Nepal, it can definitely change the computer market by making it cheaper and affordable. Currently, this is the best entry-level setup on the Ryzen platform.

8) AMD Mid Range Gaming PC

There are many powerful computer hardware in the market. We can make build from both AMD and Intel platform. For mid range budget, we have good Ryzen option in Nepal as well. We can get AMD Ryzen 3600 which has 6 core, 12 threads, 32 MB cache and PCIe 4.0 x16 support. The AMD Ryzen can be paired with a reasonable X470 board as well. In our view AMD processors are getting very good response and the market share is also growing in steady rate. For professional workload we suggest Ryzen platorm more than Intel in this budget.

9) AMD High-End Setup

There are many powerful CPU from the red team, and they offer great value because. Unlike Intel, they support overclocking and ECC memory. Such support of ECC memory and overclocking makes them a great choice for everyone and every task. The Ryzen high end platform comes with all features and top power. Here for this budget, we are choosing the Ryzen 3700X with the X570 motherboard.

Advice and recommendations

Nepali market now has all options of boards for 10th gen whiskey lake, 9th gen, and 8th gen Coffee Lake CPU. You can pair budget i3 9100F with an H310 board and install a good GTX 1050Ti or GTX 1650 and get a great gaming experience at 1080p. The Core i3 9100F and 10100F are better than both Core i5 7400 and i3 8100. Users who want long run and better value should buy i5 10400F paired with a B460 board and install a GPU like  GTX 1660 Ti 6GB to have an ultimate experience. The i5 9400 and i5 10400 performs better than Core i7 7700 and 7700k. So recommend our readers to buy a new-generation processor as far as possible.

As far as possible, buy the latest 10th generation F-series CPU with “F” suffix. But if you don’t want an external GPU, just buy a normal 10th, 9th, or 8th gen processor. If you are using a computer for the first time and learning, then go with the first PC. People with good experience should choose the second one, and the third PC is for users who need gaming and closed by budget. The final high-end computer is for top-level, most demanding users. Above mentioned set for different types of users. This is our recommendation for normal people who want little multimedia, gaming, good performance, and future-proofing.

Different Platforms and value proposition

Comparing Intel and AMD was never better like it is today. Due to the tough market competition, we can finally now buy better computers. Before 2017 we were stuck on 4 cores in the mainstream for 10 years. Nowadays, we have 6 cores in mainstream, 4 cores in entry-level and 8 cores in the high end. Intel now sells Core processors as a normal consumer product, and they sell Core Extreme such as i9 10980XE under the HEDT lineup and Xeon as a workstation chip. Thanks to AMD Ryzen, we are getting the right products. But due to some reasons, their presence in the Nepali market is less. This is due to their reputation in the past with their older processors.

In the market, we can find both Intel and AMD platforms for all levels of computing. The pricing for both processors and platforms are almost the same. There is a good competition to see. For example, Ryzen 3 3200G gives a good challenge to Core i3 9100 and this is good for consumers. Also, if we see in the HEDT line, Ryzen 3700X gives 8 core and 16 threads at a cheaper price compared to top Core i9 from Intel. Many of experts find Intel processors great in gaming, but for multi-threaded work demands and overall platform price, AMD is winning. Motherboards are also cheaper for the Ryzen system, which in turn makes them a much better choice.

PC Recommendation for Students

People study different subjects, so their need is also different. If any of you were to buy a desktop set for a student in school or high school level we suggest you buy a computer with at-least new Pentium Gold processors such as G5500 or a 9th generation Core i3. We recommend staying away from 7th gen Intel chips and only recommend 8th or 9th gen chips. This will give plenty of power and upgrade options in the future, and it can be a good gaming system as well.

4 GB RAM is plenty for any normal student, and they can use any size of hard disk as they need. For Engineering students in a tight budget, we suggest Core i3 10100 or Core i5 10400F if possible. As the students need good power for software like AutoCAD, ETABS, SolidWorks, ANSYS, etc, we recommend at least 8 GB RAM. A good graphics card can help in 3D and graphics related work. Applications like AutoCAD, 3ds Max and Maya actually require Nvidia Quadro GPU. But you can work with a good normal GTX graphics card like GTX 1650.

In our tests, we found that SSD made significant speed improvements in applications like AutoCAD while opening and running. Therefore we also suggest getting an SSD as a boot drive and to install the software. 256 GB is the sweet spot, but we don’t recommend anything below 128 GB.
