Many people still build computers in Nepal the cost the least. The most used processor is Core 2 Duo and it is more than 10 years old. This set is still good for very very basic tasks such as browsing 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.

This PC is for people who game, use multimedia, photo editing and some other mildly demanding processes.  Core i3 processors are now quad core and they can be really great.

5) Top Level Consumer  Desktop Setup

This category mainly includes the latest and the best processor available to normal consumers. It also means the best platform for the highest end users. Usually, corporate needs are different and Intel or AMD make a special platform and CPU for them. For example, Core i9 9900K is the top level consumer desktop CPU for now while Core i9 9980XE is the best HEDT CPU. Intel Xeon Platinum 8153 is the top server and workstation processor while AMD EPYC is red team’s server offering. So this is the best setup for consumers in our view. This can also be taken as top end gaming pc price in Nepal.

6) Enthusiast Level Workstation High End Desktop (HEDT)

This is the GOD level series in computing market. We rarely hear people using computer of this range. They have different architecture and unparalleled power. This is for the people who have highest demand and need best in the market. Users who need high core count, overclocking and power use this type of PC.

7) AMD Ryzen Entry Level Desktop

The AMD Ryzen market is very thin in Nepal. It is so small that it is very hard to find in Nepali market. If you want to buy AMD setup at good cost we have found some stores. They sell few numbers of entry, mid and high end chips. If Ryzen can take good market in Nepal, they can definitely change the computer market by making it cheaper and affordable. Currently this is the best entry level setup on Ryzen platform.

8) AMD High-End Setup

There are many powerful CPU from 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 great choice for everyone and every task.

Advice and recommendations

Nepali market has now all options of boards for 8th Gen Coffee lake CPU. You can pair budget i3 8100 with an H310 board and install a good GTX 1050 or 1050 Ti and get great gaming experience at 1080p. The Core i3 8100 is better than both Core i5 7400 and i5 7500. Users who want long run and better value should buy i5 8400 paired with B360 board and install GPU like  GTX 1060 6GB to have an ultimate experience. The i5 8400 compares very much with i7 7700 and 7700k so recommend our readers to buy new generation processor as far as possible.

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. 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. Because 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 sells Core processor as normal consumer product then they sell Core Extreme such as i9 7980XE under HEDT lineup and Xeon as workstation chip. Thanks to AMD Ryzen but due to some reasons, their presence in Nepali market is less. This is due to their reputation in past with their older processors.

In market we can find Intel platform for all level of computing and AMD sparsely. Currently the price of Intel processors are sky high and Ryzen is filling that gap. For example, Ryzen 3 1200 gives great value instead of buying a Core i3 8100. Also if we see in HEDT line, Ryzen 2700 gives 8 core and 16 threads at far cheaper value compared to Core i9 from Intel. Many of us 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 Ryzen system which in turn make them more 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 to buy a computer with at-least new Pentium Gold processor such as G5500 or a 8th generation Core i3. 7th Generation is also good but at almost same price 8th gen is providing double power. This will give plenty of upgrading option at future and it can be good gaming system as well.

4 GB RAM is plenty for any student and they can use any any size of hard disk as they need. For Engineering students at budget we suggest Core i3 8100 or Core i5 8400 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 and Maya actually requires Nvidia Quadro GPU. In our tests we found that SSD made significant speed improvement in applications like AutoCAD while opening and running, so we also suggest getting an SSD as boot drive and to install the software. 256 GB is the sweet spot but we don’t recommend anything below 128 GB.
