We have long put off this material in a long box, since writing something on the assembly topic in 2021 is not the most successful idea. We have another mining boom here, and the deficiency of microchips, and the dollar course … In general, a whole heap of problems, because of which it is impossible to purchase a PC for adequate money. But time goes on, the situation does not change globally, and who knows how much more it will have to wait until the problems with the iron are tired. And if so, we will get out: today we will consider several optimal assemblies in different price categories. We do not indicate the prices of video cards purposefully: now they either are not available or resell for unthinkable amounts.
If you use mobile devices, switch to the desktop version of the article for the correct display of tables.
Available option without a video card
Opening the list of the assembly for those who do not assign serious tasks on a PC and are not going to play AAA projects. The systematic is not for pro-heimers, but rather for a fan of network shooters like World of Tanks, CS: GO, Overwatch, Valorant and not too demanding single games released two to three years ago. On minimal and medium settings, of course.

In theory (and according to information Digital Foundry And Hardware Unboxed ) We will get an average of 60 FPS in CS: GO, Overwatch and Rainbow Six: Siege. About 100 FPS shine in Valorant, and about 30-40-in The Witcher 3, Rise of the Tomb Raider And Far Cry 5. And all this at all without a video card. And in the future, no one bothers us to buy it: something from the category Radeon RX 580 or Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 n and 6 GB This configuration will look perfect.
The advantages of the assembly
- Long -playing platform: in the future it will be possible to easily put the level processor in the motherboard in the motherboard Ryzen 5 3600. Will work without complaints – but do not forget that such an upgrade is possible only when buying a discrete video card. Ryzen 5 3600 does not have built -in graphics.
- Decent memory. Be careful about her: Samsung releases a wide range of memory, and you need to choose exactly the one that we brought in the list above. It is she who practically guaranteed takes 3200 MHz at CL16 under overclocking. Everything you need for this is a free program Ryzen Dram Calculator , 1.45 to voltage on DIMM modules (DRAM VOLTAGE, VDRAM, VDIMM) and one or two days of time. Acceleration is significant – we repeat, significantly – will increase the productivity of the PC in general, and in the games especially, because the built -in video Ryzen 2200G uses the RAM as a video block, and the faster it is, the better.
- A decent cooler with a backplate and a reliable mount, and therefore a cloth. You do not have to change it when moving to a significantly hotter Ryzen 3600.
The disadvantages of the assembly
- Not the most purged case with one 120-mm fan on blowing. But this is on the one hand – and on the other, it is the most affordable and at the same time good quality body with hot glass. For our system, which will practically never be bask, it is perfect.
- A noisy power supply without a modular structure and with wires in the style of "mustard and ketchup". Wires – half -bastards, they can be hidden, but the turntable will howl. In power blocks of this price category, manufacturers do not use the highest quality bearings and, in addition, do not equip the blocks with a passive cooling function.
- Only 8 GB of memory. When upgrading on Ryzen 5 3600 you will have to buy two more modules.
Balanced system for AAA-IGR
The second PC in the list will be collected primarily for single AAA-IGR: Cyberpunk 2077 , Red Dead Redemption 2 , Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and so on. Target permits – 1920×1080 and 2560×1440. Graphics settings – Ultra. What iron to choose? The answer is simple. Almost any modern project launched on maximum graphics settings, especially in QHD, will somehow rest against the performance of the video card – which means that we do not need a super -suffering processor at all. He will still stand idle in anticipation of GPU. We need a strong middle peasant, and two CPs are ideally suited for this role: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 And Intel Core i5-10400f.
However, the platform based on AMD Ryzen 5 3600 is more flexible: the motherboard for only 7500 rubles is already capable of offering the buyer all the possibilities of acceleration and tuning. But Intel 10400F, being 2000 rubles cheaper than R5 3600, the possibility of acceleration is deprived (the factor is blocked)-it remains to set up a memory subsystem, but this requires a fee on a Z-chipset, and this is at least 11 thousand rubles for a frankly bad model. Dear. Without overclocking 10400f will lag behind the configured system on AMD. Choose AMD.

Here is such a system. As for video cards, then such a configuration suggests itself Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 Super , 2070 Super , 2080 Super And 3060 Ti , And also AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT , 5700 , 5700 XT And finally, 6700 XT. Any of these GPU will feel comfortable on the platform we proposed.
The advantages of the assembly
- A fully completed system that does not require a serious upgrade. By the end of its life cycle, there will be no point in changing the processor to the 8-nuclear warrior: this will not give a serious increase in performance. It will be easier and more logical to switch immediately to the next generation of processors from Intel and AMD, which will already work with DDR5 -memory.
- Anchor motherboard, perfectly cope with the acceleration of memory and CP.
- Great memory from Crucial : inexpensive and ironly takes 3600 MHz at CL14 and a voltage of 1.45 V, revealing the entire potential of the processor.
- Good cooling. Thermalright Macho Rev. B – Quiet and productive cooler. Enough for acceleration of CPU up to 4.4 GHz.
- Great processor: AMD R5 3600, depending on the success of a particular crystal, can conquer frequencies up to 4.3 – 4.4 GHz. This is more than enough for the video card to work on the full in AAA-game with maximum graphics quality.
The disadvantages of the assembly
- The case will inevitably require a small upgrade. Only one 120-mm fan is provided for the supply that works on blowing. And since we plan to install a powerful GPU, we will need a thorough blow in the case. Add 2000 rubles to the cost of the system-this is how much will cost a set of two 140 mm fans Be Quiet!

E -sports without borders for sane money
Now let's talk about the system for the gamer-kylectsman: a system that is obliged to issue the maximum FPS always and everywhere with the minimum possible income lag.
What to choose? In a good way, Ryzen 5 5600x! This is one of the fastest processors in the market, but prices for it remain inadequate, so, no matter how good it is, you will have to get around it. AMD Ryzen on architecture Zen 2 We are not suitable either: their lag behind Zen 3 and top Comet Lake Intel is about 19% – and these are only official numbers.
Then, probably, Intel? Yes, but what? Core i5-10600K With architecture Comet Lake, for complete disclosure, requires an expensive board on a Z-chipset, and i5-11600K , Although it is built on completely new nuclei, it bypasses the predecessor on some funny interest-and then far from always and not everywhere. At the same time, it is stable only in one thing: its energy consumption goes off scale, it heats up hard, and even the memory subsystem works slower than the similar CP of the previous generation. In general, such an option.
What then choose? Intel Core i5-11400f. Unlike 10600K, it supports PCIE GEN. 4, which means, it will be possible to install the fastest drives in the PC. In addition, we do not need an ultra-expensive board on the Z-chipset, since now B-Chipseta from Intel give the user full control over the memory subsystem. As for frequencies, then due to aggressive behavior Turbo Boost speed 11400f is enough. In short, boldly take 11400f, and leave 11600k for acceleration enthusiasts, ready to lay out several hundred dollars for a liquid cooling system in exchange for two hundred and tweads of extra megartz.

From video cards that will look appropriate in such a system, we would recommend Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Ti , 3070 And AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT. For owners of 240 and 360 Hz monitors, these are the most suitable options for playing Full HD with a minimum delay and stable FPS above 300.
The advantages of the assembly
- The upgrade will not be needed: the system is completely completed and does not require further investments. The transition even to I9-11900K will not give a radical growth of FPS, but it will require considerable investments in a more serious motherboard and liquid cooling. Therefore, in this case, it is reasonable to purchase the proposed components and without any compromises to use them before the release of new platforms with DDR5 memory. Here they will be much faster, and you will only have to guess the most profitable moment for the sale of your components and update the entire computer base (CPU, motherboard and memory modules). But only if you calculate that it's time to refresh the system, of course.
- Excellent memory from Crucial, as in the previous assembly version. Will completely reveal the capabilities of the CPU and will work at the maximum frequency of the memory controller Rocket Lake. At the moment, it is 1866 MHz, that is, 3733 MHz DDR4. Possible CL Timing in Ballistix U4 at a voltage of 1.45 V at such a frequency, most likely, there will be either 15 or 16. Great indicator.
- Worthy, quiet and more than productive cooler for 11400f.
The disadvantages of the assembly
- Relatively expensive case. However, in fact, this is one of the most affordable models with such an appearance, an internal organization of space and, most importantly, with such an effective blow. The latter is especially important, given that a productive and very hot video card will be inside.
Mid-End System
One of the most difficult categories today in terms of competent choice of components. On the one hand, the transition to eight -core CPOs from six -core, underlying almost any system in the budget and middle class, seems logical. On the other hand, striking differences in game performance will not give such an upgrade. 12 streams are quite enough for games – moreover, they have enough head. Where to put the remaining processor power? Maybe put it on striming? You can, but keep in mind: eight nuclei are not always enough for comfortable broadcasting! You can stop comfortably PUBG, Anno 1800, CS: Go, Valorant, Overwatch, Doom Eternal and many other games, but when trying to start the flow in parallel with Call of Duty: Warzone Problems will begin. It is very actively leaning on the processor, so you have to either reduce the quality of the transmitted flow or fix the FPS in the game to avoid unpleasant input lag.
Nevertheless, we perfectly understand that many want to purchase a PC for a long time and forget about reading articles on choosing iron. Well, since a larger number of nuclei is, whatever one may say, a certain supply, we will consider eight -core models.
There are not so many relevant among them: Intel Core i7-10700K , AMD Ryzen 7 5800x And Intel Core i7-11700K. The latter is discharged immediately: he manages to lag behind his predecessor in the person of 10700k. Yes, perhaps this is due to raw BIOS, but the guarantees that the situation will change, we cannot yet give. We miss this option.
Ryzen 7 5800X also remains overboard: 33 thousand rubles that are asking for it is an absolutely abnormal price. The same costs 10-core Intel Core i9-10850K , And he, for a minute, on equal terms Ryzen 9 5900x!
As for the previous generation Ryzen on the architecture of Zen 2, it also remains out of work, since 10700K is corny faster. Accordingly, select 10700K.

Yes, it turned out not that cheap. At least 118 thousand – and this is without taking into account the cost of a video card! In its place, by the way, something levels of GeForce RTX 3070 begs, GeForce RTX 3080 or AMD Radeon 6700 XT and similar in performance and Radeon 6800 XT. It turns out, of course, a little expensive, but such a system fully meets the requirement "with a margin for the future".
The advantages of the assembly
- Quick NVME Disk, and this is important, since the developers of games have threatened to rethink the principles of striming textures in games and begin to use the possibilities of modern SSD To the maximum.
- Extremely reliable HDD , which should work out years without stopping.
- Advanced motherboard revealing the possibilities of 10700k. The 10850K 10850K will also cope without problems, which can be replaced by the initially proposed processor. And on its base you can already make a full-fledged striming system of a professional level.
- Memory on chips Samsung B-Die , That is, the fastest memory in the market for today. Takes the highest frequencies at the lowest timings. For example, 4400@CL16 or 4400@CL17. Such indicators will allow her to compete with the first revisions of the upcoming DDR5, since each new generation of DDR memory, although it increases frequencies, is always doing this at the expense of very high timings. And only at the end of the existence of the generation from the chips they pull out everything that is possible, reducing the delays to the limit. Remember: when DDR4 just appeared, modules with a frequency of 3000 MHz and CL15 were considered fast. Now these are quite weak indicators.
- Chic building from FRACTAL Design. One of the best produced, expansion, convenience and quality of execution. Supports almost all conceivable and inconceivable liquid cooling systems of various formats and configurations. With a high probability, it will not have to be changed even after a few years – when switching to a new platform.
- Great quiet cooler CP. The best in performance at the moment. What he does not cope with, only the liquid cooling system will cope – and at least a two -section and far from a budget segment.
The disadvantages of the assembly
- Price.

Video cards – Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 , AMD Radeon 6900 XT.
The advantages of the assembly
- Ultimatic performance. In terms of upgrade, you can only offer to replace the cooling system with custom, the benefit of the market has already appeared completely ready -made sets. It is enough to fasten a pair of fittings and cut the hoses, exactly following the instructions lying in the box with a single. What is the meaning? Firstly, it's just beautiful. Secondly, the colder the core Zen 3 , the higher the automation raises their frequency. By the way, we did not propose consciously in this assembly systems in this assembly: they are either ineffective, or work on the verge and are very https://charles-gb-casino.co.uk/ noisy. For the top zen 3, the liquid cooling system, unfortunately, is no longer a luxury, but rather a necessity.
- Well, the second thing that can be done with this PC is to replace the motherboard with it with it Asus Crosshair VIII Dark Hero With a chipset X570 : get more USB ports and several seats under NVME. Specifically, we advise it because it is one of the best boards for Ryzen 9, and she also does not have a fan on the South Bridge. Here it is cooled passively, using a massive radiator. . .
