We collect a gaming computer for 2016

Hi all! The idea of ​​this post was born after the call of my friend, who was in a computer technique store in search of a gaming laptop, a gift to his beloved for the New Year. He puzzled me with a question of the relevance of the acquisition of a laptop 45,000 ruble for game needs. To add, to bewitched, and just play new games – he came up with such a task for his future laptop. His current piece of iron has stopped pulling all this pleasure. In general, he voiced me options for configuration and the cost of these very “game” laptops. I, in turn, advised him to run home from the store, until the money is intact and the “store gypsies” forced him to part with them.
As you already guessed, it was decided to spit on laptops and focus on the assembly of a really good game computer in parts, t.e. desktop. Moreover, the needs for a figurative game device as it turned out does not have. Like many in our country, he is just used to playing a laptop. And other options, except replacing it with another but better, it never occurred to him.
So, we are faced with the task of collecting the most productive and balanced game computer with a budget of 45,000 rubles.
Let’s start with Corps and power supply. Since our assembly will be enough budget (you can make it even more budget, but in this case you can forget about the game on high settings in new games), we look towards small buildings with a power supply unit in the kit. If you buy separately, it will come out more expensive. A good option in your price category up to 4000 rubles. I see a model Aerocool V2X Red 550W

In this case, nothing superfluous is a strict design, quite spacious and purged. It contains only one pre -installed fan on the back wall, so we need to buy another propeller on the front wall – for blowing cold air. A good option would be 120 mm Aerocool Lightning Red Edition 120mmm

With the case and the BP sorted out. Now we will consider perhaps the most important and interesting question that arises when assembling a computer. On which platform to collect it, Intel or AMD? If your budget is more limited, then AMD is your choice. Within our budget, it makes sense to look towards the processors from Intel. Intel is more expensive, but much more productive than their competitors.
The selection of the processor manufacturer was decided, move on.
Choice motherboard should start with a form factor. In our case, it will be microatx, t.To. Little motherboards are much cheaper than their older brothers. At the same time, on board they have 2 slots for RAM, 1 session for PCI devices, 4 USB ports, 4 SATA ports. In the ATX boards of all this more. But if you do not plan to put more than one video card and other PCI devices, you can safely save significant funds when buying such a motherboard. As a rule, people who are not engaged in the dispersal of their iron “by the eyes” will have enough budget motherboard like MSI H81M-P33

This “mother” is suitable for all Intel processors on the 1150 (Haswell) socket, so in the future you can stick the processor into it up to i7 4770.
CPU Without hesitation, we put it Intel Core i5 4570, and forget about him for several years.

This stone has a margin of performance for future upgrades of the video card, t.To. can “pull out” even the most top today. This processor without an “K” index (without the possibility of acceleration), so the standard cooler will fully cope with its temperatures.
Video card – The main device in your game PC. The number of cherished FPS in games depends on it directly. At the moment, the best price/performance ratio is demonstrated by the product from Nvidia GeForce GTX 950. The closest competitor from AMD – R7 370 at an equal price shows the worst indicators in games. Based on our budget, the GTX 950 is seen for me absolutely the best option. Version from ZOTAC Nvidia GeForce GTX950 ZOTAC AMP! Edition PCI-E 2048MB It looks like a very profitable purchase – 2 fans, good factory acceleration and attractive price.

Choice RAM no complexity. Take the cheapest from a well -known manufacturer – do not lose. The difference between expensive and cheap RAM boards is the presence or absence of unnecessary radiators (clean marketing), and the frequency of memory of memory (1600 MHz is the perfect option). For example 8GB DDR-III 1600MHZ KINGSTON – Great choice.

The choice of a hard disk is also not cunning. In the game PC, the HDD Obd is desirable at least 1 TB, and the speed of rotation of the spindle 7200 RPM. That’s all. You can of course read reviews about different models from different manufacturers, in order to roughly understand the percentage of marriage. But here is the case. In my PC, the third year is working 1tb Sata-III Seagate Barracuda 7200.14. I will recommend it in this assembly.

SSD drives are gaining more and more, and prices for them are gradually decreasing. So if there is a financial possibility, be sure to put in your game PC “STRECTOR”, at least 80 GB for the system. Believe me, the result is worth it.
Well, it seems to be everything 🙂 It remains only to buy, collect all these pieces and enjoy the latest new products of the gaming industry in high settings in Full HD resolution. For the next 2016, so accurately.
I hope this post will at least be useful to anyone. Thanks for the attention, and Happy New Year!:)
P.WITH. The above configuration is strictly my IMHO. I will be glad to postcate in the comments that I am stupid and I don’t rummage in the computer gland at all 🙂
P.P.WITH. Stay away from ready -made store assemblies like “2 nuclei 2 gigs”. In 99% of cases, this is a divorce for suckers.

The best comments

If you want to spread something useful-give people knowledge, not your opinion. Write in versatile, and not “take the rally only such, everything else is garbage”.

GTX 950 – a video card that pulls a witcher 3 and GTA 5 at high settings in 1080p. Nothing will change in the next year. I am sure that in a year and a half in the average settings you can play most games. You can dig and put 970 or 980 and in a year. For non -graperapists, this option has the right to be.
16GB Operations in the game computer? For what? Name at least one game that requires more than 8GB? In fact, the game is used no more than 5GB)
About Titan X I will say only one. If you get the money easily and a lot, of course, the video card is cool) but IMHO at the moment 980ti is a much more profitable option. Unless of course you play a 4K monitor. Otherwise, excess overpayment is 2 times.

Vidyakha was GTX660, which is not Greenplay Casino review a very distant ancestor of the proposed vidyuha, in other words they are comparable. Games lag. And it happened that Lagal a computer, that you can’t sleep on the vidyuhu. Dragon Age Inquisition

The letter of the ITshnik of the year to this master!11. I’ll rush right now, wait.

VOOT, 8 GB opera is not enough? For 3DS MAX and similar specific progresses, it is better to have more, but.
For Igor, 8 GB is quite enough. Show me games that eat more than 8 GB, do not SIS. Requirements, but that’s exactly what the screenshot of the work toy where it shows how many opera it is eating.

If you have a computer lag, then this is 146% of the wine not a opera, but an assassinated OS, provided that you did not have a pentium 4. What percentage stood and when I installed Windows?!

By and large, it will be the same IMHO. But she’s some kind of … strange. Good processor, cheap operation with low throughput. By the way, on the i5 of the same 1600 MHz I do not have enough catostrophically – what’s in games, what’s in work, and okay, if it were not so noticeable.

Well, please. Here you have ..

You can refer to the party, but in the first time take a look at

Simply put, “I have a couple of my friends” – alas, the argument is weak on such a scale.

And these are your inventions, sorry. Reread my comment and poke me with your nose, where I at least hinted about WD there. And, be so kind, respect criticism, and do not pounce with such disturbances to everyone who disagree with you, but?

Yes, at least in yours “Pure marketing“. You directly urge you to buy what does not have radiators and consider the optimal frequency of 1600 (but already DDR4 on the way). Well, there is no rally on sale with timings and frequencies that arrange me without a radiator. Well, I will overpay for him 100-200 rubles, and what? You are too critical in this regard. Budget assembly is a fundamental matter, but sometimes it’s easier to overpay a couple of hundred rubles than to look for “without a radiator and ideally 1600”.

There are USB sounds;)
An extra overpayment for the mother would mean savings on the processor, or on something else. Just this mother is suitable for my case. PCI devices, in addition to Vidyakha, are not planned. My friend would have arranged a laptop in general, if what) and so, yes, the ATX board is of course more functional. If you need this functionality, take them.

Yes, Dofiga is relevant for a country where no one except legal entities even thinks about buying an OS. Especially the one whose sales were discontinued two years ago. 😉

Yes, the sound is especially important when you buy almost a minimum game computer. And then you listen to the sound in the headphones for 150 rubles or plastic office columns 🙂

I see for you the concept of exaggeration is unknown. The fact that you in our Russian Federation one license for a dozen pirates does not yet give the reason to say that this is a lie and licenses are bought well.

I climb and I have not read all the comments ..
1) Okay, mother … Well, why budget msi? Why not some ASUS B85M-K or at worst GA-B85M-D2V(I do not like motherboards from Gigi) On the 85th chipset? but can connect 3.0 on the case. Yes, it would be more expensive, but still more convenient. And reliability is a bit higher (I judge by the time when I was a seller in a computer). The 81st especially from Gigi almost 3/4 of the warranty returned within a week. Well, in my opinion, the 85th amazing set is more entered … A part of it can even be used (Daemon Tools Pro and even I remember it came in the kit).
With video – okay, as a temporary option(damn it is expensive as temporary, but such prices)
The power supply is still more interesting to look with the certification of 80+ and look at the unified 12-forth line and just its power. Aerocool KCAS-600W or the like … However, here we must also plan and look at the video that is planned once in the best times to put.
But with all my troubles that I indicated, it seems not to fit into the amount ..

There is an excellent alternative in the form of the 960th (there are also decent options from the Red Stan) in case of a small budget (for game machines in current frightening realities).
Percentage with a margin, I don’t argue here. But only two phases remain on the processor in fact (which I wrote about), and this is not so good. But if there is an upgrade on i7 (well, you never know), then then it will become bad.
By the way, I haven’t found anything on the BP from the corps. He is really in your arms? It’s just interesting that there are with 12-volt lines)

I would not agree with the video, but here it depends on what specific games to drive. Well, the price tags in the stores of your region are playing a role, here I did not think about it in advance.

Personally dealt with the MSI H81M-E33 and ASUS H81M-K-the separation of phases was on the face, they gave a drawdown into Core i7 compared to the better chips. This, in principle, is not a minus-after all, the difference in the price ranges of mat.Plates and processor hints ..

And about the PSU – and he will very much look for it) then, maybe they posted a photo of the disassembled on the network, it’s interesting to look at the schematic technology.

950 A good choice, I myself think that it would be nice to jump to it. But why the red? The AMD has a fairly sane and productive line of R7 and the prices are not even sky -high today, R9 is certainly better, but if everything is not worth the ultra and 4K, then R7 with tanks and ships, BF 4 shows itself very well.
It’s just that 950 costs, sharing KEP on the bridge, as many as $ 150, and give for it 14,000 rubles, I can’t, I just shakes me from this thought. Sometimes I go to the Amazon and cry with their prices in bucks.

You forgot one very important thing. Monitor, this is the plus of the laptop that he has it in the kit. Now Monica up to 24 “is not a whole fortune, but still a lot.
And yes, Klava is also needed, a penny of course, but here I got a fucking and I don’t know how to live with a claw without backlight, dark winter evenings especially.

Ps 4 costs 30k, games 2-4k. If only used to buy. But you can find a good one for the money for that kind of money.
