[30k Budget] Upgrading i5 12400 + RTX 5070 for 1080p 300Hz competitive FPS gaming (Stutter issues)

Hey everyone,

I’m currently running into a CPU bottleneck and minor stutters when trying to push high framerates on my 1080p 300Hz monitor.

My current specs: - CPU: Intel Core i5-12400 - GPU: NVIDIA RTX 5070 - Motherboard: H610M (DDR4) - RAM: 16GB (2x8GB) 3200MHz DDR4 - Monitor: 1080p 300Hz

I mostly play competitive FPS games like CS2, Valorant, Fortnite, PUBG, and COD where I want high 1% lows and maximum stable FPS. I have a budget of around ₹30,000 (~$350 USD) to upgrade. My plan: 1. Update the H610 BIOS and drop in an **i5-13600KF** (or i5-14600K if priced similarly). 2. Upgrade/expand RAM to 32GB. Questions: 1. Will my entry-level H610M motherboard throttle an i5-13600KF/14600K due to VRM limits, or should I save some budget to swap the motherboard out as well? 2. Are there better alternatives within a ₹30k budget in India to fix 1080p stutters and maximize a 300Hz display?

Appreciate any advice!

Why is USDT P2P on Binance trading at ₹104-105 when the actual market exchange rate is ~₹96? Any way to avoid this?

Hey everyone,

​I'm trying to start investing in crypto on Binance, but every time I look at the USDT P2P market, the prices are incredibly inflated.

​Right now, the actual market exchange rate of USD to INR makes USDT worth around ₹96, but the absolute cheapest sellers on Binance P2P are selling it at ₹104 to ₹105. That is an instant \~10% hit to my capital before I even start trading.

​I have a few questions for the community:

​Why is the premium so high right now? Is it purely due to high demand and the banking restrictions on direct fiat deposits, or is something else driving this massive gap?

​Does this actually eat 10% of my portfolio? Since I'm buying high, do I also get to sell at this same inflated P2P premium when cashing out to INR, or is there a trap I'm missing?

​What is the best alternative to bypass this premium? Are you guys using FIU-compliant Indian exchanges to deposit INR at spot rates and transferring low-fee coins (like TRX/XRP) to Binance, or is there a better gateway?

​Appreciate any advice on how to get my Rupees into crypto without immediately losing 10% of my purchasing power. Thanks!

What will happen if?

I have purchased an item from Amazon through Bajaj Finserv EMI. Now they sent me a faulty product. If I return the product and demand refund, will my bajaj finserv emi card be blocked?
