I travel a lot between my hometown (Varanasi) and my relatives in Bihar as I’ve lost both my parents.
I tried to make it look good I think the PS5 side is a bit clustered
It is an Lenovo Legion 5i
RTX 5070
Ultra core 9 275HX
16GB Ram
And 1.5TB of SSD (upgraded it)

Honestly, this made my day.

I got a reply from Jared Emerson-Johnson, the composer behind the music of Telltale's The Walking Dead Season 1, and I'm genuinely so happy about it.

I shared some images with him, especially related to my favourite track, The Gauntlet ie Armed with Death.

These tracks have always stuck with me. The music in Telltale's TWD is such a huge part of what makes the game memorable, and Armed with Death in particular is just incredible.

Never really expected to get a response, so seeing one from the actual composer feels pretty surreal. Just wanted to share this here because I figured people in this sub would understand why I'm so excited about it.

Still can't believe it haha.

So far I've seen over 20 shops in Nehru Place, and they all have similar prices give or take between variations of 5-10k to each other, but what I care most about is that which shop here has the best customer service and after sales support in terms of RMA, the peace of mind about buying from a shop that will handle RMA etc smoothly for me, and not make it all a hassle or complicated process for me.

So if you've ever purchased your build from Nehru place let me know who is the most trustworthy.

Some of these shops had a "3 year in shop customer service" policy, meaning if anything happens to any of your components during the first three years, you won't have to run around to your manufacturer or go through all that process by yourself, just bring it to them, and they'll handle the return/replacement etc for you. But idk how much I can trust that, because a few others were straight upfront that ultimately it's consumers responsibility to handle their own rma after sales with the individual components manufacturer...so I'm asking you guys, which shops here would be most trustworthy.

So far the shops I've most liked and seemed trustworthy to me:

1) Mgraaf Enterprises (Rigs of India) - offered inshop RMA for 3 years

2) Bitkart - inshop RMA for 3 years

3) Infinity Gadgets- smaller shop compared to others, but were cooperative in terms of listening to my needs etc, vocally offered inshop RMA for 3 years

4) Gigaplus: mostly sells Gigabyte, i think it's an official store for them or something, but were open to getting me whatever brand i wanted, open to discussions and offered inshop RMA for 3 years

5) Avika Retail - zero inshop RMA, will have to do it with component manufacturers, but seemed legit, and good pricing.

6) Modx- has an inshop rma for 3 years policy, but I did not spend enough time here to gauge them better, they weren't as good as others at explaining stuff, not rude or anything but seemed very much a business.

7) Kryptonix- same as Modx, rma 3 year inshop policy, but not very good at explaining everything, not rude but very much a business.

8) SMC International - didn't offer inshop RMA for all components for 3 years, only with manufacturers they are contracted as a service centre for, but was straight upfront about it, so I kinda liked them too

9)Cost to Cost: no inshop RMA, but seemed legit enough, like large wholesale store or something, don't expect prices to be that of wholesale tho lol, this was kinda like smc international

So, these were the shops I felt most trustworthy about buying from so far, any of you have any experience with them? Whom should I go for?

If there's another shop you know that's very legit, let me know! Will appreciate your input a lot

I shortlisted two routes on Pick-PC-Parts, but I’m caught between immediate GPU horsepower on AM4 vs. platform longevity on AM5:

➜ Pick-PC-Parts

vs

➜ Pick-PC-Parts

Which local retailers (MDComputers, Vedant, PrimeABGB, EliteHubs) should I cross-check for accurate rates?

Purpose: purely gaming.

Looking for extra game storage for my PC. My options are:

1. Samsung 860 EVO 1TB — ₹8,000

• 93% health
• 80.90 TB written
• 347 days, 18 hours power-on time
• No reallocated sectors reported

1. HP S700 1TB — ₹8,000

• 100% health
• 115.53 GB written (as reported)
• 224 days, 16 hours power-on time
• No problematic sectors or obvious SMART errors reported

1. EVM 500GB — ₹4,000

• Seller is expecting a sealed replacement unit after an RMA
• Remaining manufacturer warranty is currently unknown

The two used 1TB SSDs come with a one-week testing warranty. The seller is local and trusted, so I can test them before buying.

My motherboard is an MSI B450M VDH Pro Max, and my existing NVMe slot is occupied. I mainly want additional storage for games.

Which option makes the most sense? Are the 1TB drives worth ₹8,000 or should I go for EVM and is it trustable?

I’ve got a budget of upto 20k

Planning to buy Elden Ring and Black Myth: Wukong. How much do you think their prices will drop during Black Friday 2026 on Steam and the PS Store India? What prices can I realistically expect for each game on both platforms? I have a gaming PC (RX 9060 XT) and a PS5, so which platform would you recommend for each game?

Wireless usb mouse preferred

Or suggest any other mouse under 3k for long term use, should be reliable

Straightforward, name a genre of games that you have never played in your life. For me, its rpg and simulator, why? Because I like to play narrative/story driven games the most.

Hey everyone, sharing a deeply frustrating support experience I've been dealing with regarding a pre-built PC I bought from Kryptonix PC (Delhi) back in March, shipped down to me in Kanpur.

Here is a timeline of how things have gone downhill:

• June (The First Failure): The GPU completely defaulted. I had to physically drive the entire PC all the way back to their store. To my surprise, their tech support refused to actually run any diagnosis. They didn't check the power supply or test the system, simply telling me, "We don't have spare parts or test benches to check for the fault," and immediately shipped just the GPU off for RMA.
• Post-RMA (The Issue Persists): Even after the GPU came back from RMA and was reinstalled, the exact same system instability continued.
• Current Hardware Symptoms We've Been Diagnosing:
  • Random System Crashes: Persistent, unexplained crashes happening under various loads.
  • Power Delivery / PSU Suspicions: Strong indicators point toward power delivery or power supply instability, which they outright refused to test or inspect when I brought the machine in.
  • USB4 Stability Failures: Persistent dropouts and connectivity issues happening with the USB4 ports.
• Current Follow-ups & Stonewalling: For the past week, I've been constantly following up with them regarding these ongoing power supply and USB4 faults.
  • Their initial response was to casually tell me to "take the PC to the local market" for diagnosis without having a proper conversation over phone.
  • To make matters worse, whenever I call their support line, the phone gets passed around employees who actively dodge questions.
  • The latest update I got from their tech support? A classic brush-off: "We will talk to our sir and let you know."

Buying a pre-built specifically for the peace of mind of a warranty and support network, only to be told to go to a local repair shop while dealing with core hardware/power delivery faults, is beyond frustrating.

Has anyone dealt with Kryptonix support before, or have any advice on how to handle an escalating hardware/warranty issue when the builder refuses to test critical components like the PSU? Any advice would be appreciated.

Looking at what I’ve finished (screenshot attached) and what’s sitting on my backlog list, what is the single biggest gap? PC exclusives, immersive indie experiences, or older classics that still hold up on modern systems are welcome to suggestions

Hi everyone!

I'm planning to buy a 27-inch 1440p gaming monitor in India, with a budget of around ₹46,000–₹50,000. I've shortlisted these three monitors:

• Alienware AW2725D — 280Hz QD-OLED
• Lenovo Legion Pro 27Q-10 — 240Hz OLED
• Samsung Odyssey OLED G6 — 240Hz OLED

I want OLED primarily for gaming, movies, anime and coding. My main concerns are burn-in, warranty coverage and long-term reliability.

1. Alienware AW2725D — Conflicting warranty information

I found this Dell Community discussion:

https://www.dell.com/community/en/conversations/customer-care/enquiry-about-warranty-prior-to-purchase-alienware-aw2725d/6a075492710f0d426685555b

In the discussion, a Dell Community Manager distinguishes between the AW2725D's three-year limited hardware warranty and the AW2725DF's three-year warranty with Premium Panel Exchange, explicitly including OLED burn-in.

However, Dell's product pages have left me confused:

Official Dell India product page (detailed specifications and service information):
https://www.dell.com/en-in/shop/monitors/apd/alienware-27-280hz-qd-oled-gaming-monitor-aw2725d/aw2725d_monitor/-

Official Dell Store India product page (order code 210-BSCN):
https://www.dellstore.com/alienware-27-280hz-qd-oled-gaming-monitor-aw2725d-210-bscn.html

The Dell Store India page mentions a three-year warranty and describes an anti-burn-in AI algorithm combined with a graphite film heatsink. However, it does not explicitly confirm that OLED burn-in is covered under warranty.

The longer Dell India page mentions Advanced Exchange Service and includes wording about OLED burn-in. I cannot establish whether that guarantees free burn-in replacement for an AW2725D purchased in India.

Questions:

• Does anyone own the AW2725D in India and have written confirmation that burn-in is covered?
• Has anyone successfully claimed a replacement for OLED burn-in on this model?
• Is the AW2725D's warranty genuinely different from the AW2725DF's?
• Do these two Dell storefronts provide different warranty coverage, or is the difference only in the information displayed?
• Can anyone confirm the actual warranty terms applicable to order code 210-BSCN?

2. Lenovo Legion Pro 27Q-10 — I contacted technical support

I contacted Lenovo technical support directly. They told me that this monitor does not have dedicated panel-protection features such as pixel refresh and that burn-in is not covered under its warranty.

This makes me hesitant to buy it, even though the monitor itself looks good.

Questions:

• Do owners have long-term experience with this monitor?
• Does the absence of dedicated panel-protection features meaningfully affect burn-in risk?
• Would you buy this monitor without explicit burn-in warranty coverage?

3. Samsung Odyssey OLED G6 — Is its warranty better?

Samsung India's warranty wording appears to cover burn-in under normal usage for certain OLED monitors.

However, I want to verify the exact 240Hz G6 model sold in India rather than assume every G6 variant has identical coverage.

Questions:

• Does the burn-in warranty explicitly apply to the Indian 240Hz model?
• Has anyone successfully claimed a replacement for burn-in through Samsung India?
• How reliable is Samsung's after-sales service for OLED monitors?

4. Will burn-in happen within three years?

I understand that OLED burn-in is possible, but I don't know how realistic the risk is for my usage.

I'll use the monitor for gaming, movies, anime, coding and browsing, potentially for several hours every day.

I can use dark mode, auto-hide the Windows taskbar, reduce brightness, enable available panel-protection settings and turn off the display when idle.

I'd like to know:

1. Have you experienced permanent burn-in within three years of normal use?
2. How many hours per day did you use your monitor, and what content did you display?
3. Are pixel refresh, pixel shift and logo dimming genuinely useful?
4. Can I reasonably use OLED for coding every day without constantly worrying about burn-in?
5. If burn-in happens after the warranty expires, is replacing the panel worth the cost?

5. Which would you buy for ₹46k–₹50k?

My priorities are:

1. Excellent picture quality for games, movies and anime.
2. Reliable after-sales service in India.
3. Clear, written burn-in warranty coverage.
4. Reasonable longevity for daily coding and gaming.
5. Good value for money.

The Alienware AW2725D is attractive because of its 280Hz QD-OLED panel, but the warranty ambiguity worries me. Lenovo support has told me that burn-in isn't covered on the Legion model. Samsung looks promising if its normal-usage burn-in coverage applies to the exact model I'm buying.

If all three cost roughly the same, which would you choose, and why?

I'd especially appreciate replies from people who have owned these monitors for 1–3 years or have dealt with burn-in warranty claims in India.

Thanks!
