Under ₹30,000 — Entry / Learning Build
Who it’s for: Absolute beginners who want to learn Animate CC and do very light Premiere editing (use proxies / low-res). Heavy editing or 4K is not realistic at this budget.
Recommended parts (approx.):
CPU (APU): AMD Ryzen 5 5600G — ₹12,000
Motherboard: B450 / A520 mATX — ₹5,000
RAM: 16GB (2×8) DDR4-3200 — ₹6,500
Storage: 480–512GB NVMe SSD — ₹3,200
PSU: 450W 80+ Bronze — ₹2,800
Case + fans: Basic mATX case — ₹1,500
Price math (step by step):
12,000 + 5,000 = 17,000
17,000 + 6,500 = 23,500
23,500 + 3,200 = 26,700
26,700 + 2,800 = 29,500
29,500 + 1,500 = ₹31,000 (approx.)
Pros: Cheapest route; good for learning Animate CC basics.
Cons: Premiere Pro performance limited; exports slow; not suited for big projects.
Upgrade path: Add discrete GPU later (GTX 1660 Super / RTX 3050) and increase RAM to 32GB.
Under ₹50,000 — Entry+ / Light Editing Build
Who it’s for: Creators who edit 1080p timelines, use Animate CC comfortably, and want hardware-accelerated exports.
Recommended parts (approx.):
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600 — ₹11,000
Motherboard: B550 mATX — ₹6,000
RAM: 16GB (2×8) DDR4-3200 — ₹6,500
GPU: Used GTX 1660 Super (6GB) ~₹12,000–₹15,000 OR new RTX 3050 (6GB) ~₹17,000
Storage: 500GB NVMe SSD — ₹3,500
PSU: 550W 80+ Bronze — ₹3,800
Case: Good airflow case — ₹2,000
Price math (using GPU ≈ ₹17,000):
11,000 + 6,000 = 17,000
17,000 + 6,500 = 23,500
23,500 + 17,000 = 40,500
40,500 + 3,500 = 44,000
44,000 + 3,800 = 47,800
47,800 + 2,000 = ₹49,800
Pros: Smooth 1080p editing; GPU helps exports (NVENC/CUDA); great value if you find a good used 1660S.
Cons: 4K editing limited; 16GB RAM minimum—upgrade to 32GB later recommended.
Upgrade path: Add another 16GB (→32GB), larger NVMe, better GPU later.
Under ₹70,000 — Balanced Creator PC (Recommended)
Who it’s for: Serious creators who want comfortable Animate CC workflow and smooth Premiere Pro (1080p and light 4K).
Recommended parts (approx.):
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600 — ₹11,000
Motherboard: B550 ATX / mATX — ₹7,000
RAM: 16GB (2×8) DDR4-3200 — ₹6,500
GPU: GTX 1660 Super 6GB or RTX 3050 — ₹18,000
Storage (OS/Work): 500GB NVMe SSD — ₹3,500
Storage (Archive): 1TB HDD — ₹3,000
PSU: 650W 80+ Bronze — ₹4,000
Case + cooling: Good airflow case — ₹3,000
Monitor: 24″ IPS 1080p — ₹9,000
Keyboard + Mouse — ₹1,000
Price math:
11,000 + 7,000 = 18,000
18,000 + 6,500 = 24,500
24,500 + 18,000 = 42,500
42,500 + 3,500 = 46,000
46,000 + 3,000 = 49,000
49,000 + 4,000 = 53,000
53,000 + 3,000 = 56,000
56,000 + 9,000 = 65,000
65,000 + 1,000 = ₹66,000 (approx.)
Why this is good: Balanced CPU + discrete GPU + NVMe scratch disk + IPS monitor → smooth editing and animation workflow.
Upgrade path: RAM → 32GB, add larger NVMe (1TB), upgrade GPU (RTX 4060) when budget allows.
Under ₹1,00,000 — Power Creator / Semi-Pro Workstation
Who it’s for: Heavy Premiere Pro projects (multi-cam, color grading, effects, 4K), professional Animate CC work and After Effects.
Recommended parts (approx.):
CPU: Intel Core i7-13700F OR AMD Ryzen 7 7700 — ₹28,000–30,000
Motherboard: B660 / B650 — ₹10,000
RAM: 32GB (2×16) — ₹12,000
GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4060 8GB (or 4060 Ti if possible) — ₹28,000
Storage (OS/Work): 1TB NVMe — ₹6,500
Storage (Bulk): 2TB HDD / SATA SSD — ₹5,000
PSU: 750W 80+ Gold — ₹6,000
Case + cooling (AIO 120/240) — ₹6,000
Monitor: 27″ 2K IPS — ₹18,000
KB/Mouse/UPS etc — ₹2,000
Price math (approx. tower only):
28,000 + 10,000 = 38,000
38,000 + 12,000 = 50,000
50,000 + 28,000 = 78,000
78,000 + 6,500 = 84,500
84,500 + 5,000 = 89,500
89,500 + 6,000 = 95,500
95,500 + 6,000 = 101,500 (with cooler) — tower ≈ ₹95k if monitor is purchased separately.
Why this is great: Strong multi-core CPU, 32GB RAM, NVMe + RTX GPU → excellent for 4K editing, many effects, and faster rendering/export times.
Upgrade path: Add more NVMe, upgrade GPU to higher tier (RTX 4070+) if needed.
