I've been noticing that Since AMD won with Ryzen all over the world and succeeded with Polaris, vega and Navi... Same doesn't seems to happen in Pakistan. In Pakistan most online stores are still advertising Intel and Nvidia on the front.. While AMD giving alternatives to make cheapest gaming pc under 200$ or 300$ for the rest of the world. Amd is still not better option in Pakistan when there isn't much difference in price. Also Every Pakistani computer online store has different prices for same thing, which makes it hard to us that which ones deal is better and at reasonable price. Is it possible to make gaming pc in very tight budget that isn't aged and is also power efficient?

AMD hardware is actually quite cheap here; compared to Intel's.

You can find a brand new B450M mobo for like 12k at local shops. Pair it up with a Ryzen 5 2600, currently going for 16k on AliExpress. About 6k for 8 Gigs of DDR4 RAM @ 2.8GHz.


Then just drop something like a used RX480 (14k locally) and you've yourself a VERY decent machine with a 'bright' upgrade path.

Non-registered parcels can get lost, but registered ones almost always reach the recipient.

Here's the tracking information of a Pentium G860 CPU I ordered not too long ago via "AliExpress Standard Shipping":

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
