6) Enthusiast Level Workstation High-End Desktop (HEDT)
This used to be the supreme 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 (HighPerformance 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.
However, after the advancement of normal Intel core processors and Ryzen chips, Core X has been replaced by normal consumer Core series processors such as Core i9 and Core i7. So it is better to get the latest i9 or Ryzen 7 series instead of these.

The AMD Ryzen market is solid in Nepal. AMD processors have regained their old glory. These days many Nepali sellers sell Ryzen processors and PC users buy them as well. There are many entry-level, mid, and high-end chips in the market. 10 years ago, there was a small market of low-end AMD processors. However, they lost it along the way, but they are back again. Ryzen has taken a good market share in Nepal, and they are popular among gamers and enthusiasts.
There are choices of budget Ryzen PC in Nepal as well. Currently, this is the best entry-level setup on the Ryzen platform.

Advice and recommendations
Nepali market now has all options of boards for 13th gen Raptor Lake, 12th gen Alder Lake, 11th gen Rocket lake, 10th gen Whiskey lake, 9th gen, and 8th gen Coffee Lake CPU. You can pair budget i3 10100 with an H410 board and install a good GTX 1050Ti or GTX 1650 Super 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 a long run and better value should buy i5 13400 paired with a B660 board and install a GPU like RTX 3060 to have the ultimate experience. The new processors like Core i5 12400, i5 11400, i5 10400, and i5 9400 perform miles better than older Core i7 7700 and 7700k. This is because Intel added more cores from the 8th gen. So we recommend our readers to buy a new-generation processor as far as possible.
As far as possible, buy the latest 13th generation and 12th generation F-series CPU with “F” suffix. But if you don’t want an external GPU, just buy a normal 13th, 12th, 11th, or 10th 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 power on a budget. The final high-end computer is for top-level, most demanding users. That is our recommendation for normal people who want multimedia, extreme gaming, top performance, and future-proofing.
Different Platforms and value proposition
Comparing Intel and AMD was never better than 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 16 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. The competition is so good that PC builders are getting good value processors for their money.
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 10100 and this is good for consumers. Also, if we see in the HEDT line, Ryzen 5700X gives 8 core and 16 threads at a cheaper price compared to some Core i9 models from Intel. Many 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 G6405 or a 10th generation Core i3. We recommend staying away from 7th gen Intel chips and only recommend 9th, 10th, 11th,12th, and 13th gen Intel CPU. 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 on a tight budget, we suggest Core i3 10100 or Core i5 11400F if possible. As the students need good power for software like AutoCAD, ETABS, SolidWorks, ANSYS, MATLAB, etc, we recommend at least 8 GB RAM. However, 16 GB RAM is best for engineering software. 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.
Conclusion
A computer is a basic need and it makes our life much easier. In our office, we have fixed many computers and built many as well. In this, we have learned a few things which we want to tell you. Always buy a processor and motherboard thinking of the upgrade you may or can do in the future. Also, think of the salvage value because parts like processors don’t go bad easily and they can be sold. Try to have the latest edition because they always have benefits in the computer world.
