The expert in the video relied specifically on spare parts sold at DNS.
Among the RTX 4060, 4060 Ti 8 and 16 GB graphics cards, the 4070 can now be purchased with two coolers. You’ll have to pay extra for three coolers, starting with the RTX 4070 Super. Models from the 7000 series through the 7700 XT must have two heatsinks, after that there will be three heatsinks. At the same time, there is no point in overpaying for high-end versions like Nitro Plus or MSI Suprim. For the most efficient system, the video card should cost 50% of the entire assembly.
As for processors, it’s hard to make a mistake here. Especially Ryzen 5 7600, 7500F, Intel Core 12 400, 13 400, 13 600 etc. If you’re building on it. Choose between Intel and AMD what will be more profitable along with the motherboard.
Motherboard selection largely depends on the processor. While it’s not the most affordable choice, it’s not the most budget-friendly, it’s not the highest-end models either. If you have a non-overclocked i5 or i7, get the B chipset. For the younger i5, a motherboard in the range of 12 to 15 thousand rubles will be enough for you. Any card in the range of 15-20 thousand rubles is suitable for i7. For example, this is B760 Gaming Plus. Z chipset is required for overclocking or high-end processors.
As for AMD processors, the situation will be slightly different when choosing a motherboard. There is no point in chipset A, but overclocking is possible on chipset B. As for the X chipset, it makes sense to buy it only for top models.
It is better to buy G.Skill Ripjaws S5 from RAM for 11 thousand rubles because it will be cheaper and better than its analogues. You should definitely not buy Hyper X because you are paying too much for it. DDR5 makes sense now but not always. For example, if you have 12,400, it is better to buy DDR4 and i5 – DDR5.
Samsung SSDs are extremely expensive. Therefore, you should not overpay for them. The problem is that these drives only have a one-year warranty. You can get 1TB Adata instead. Also, never buy a SATA SSD, especially in 2024. It makes sense to buy high-speed SSDs if you only work with 4K files or are constantly transferring files back and forth. Such drivers are not needed for games.
Do not choose a liquid cooling system unless you need it very much (air is much more reliable and quiet). You also don’t need to buy a cheap system this way, because in most cases a cooler will be enough for you. Water is recommended for processors such as the 7800X3D. At the same time, choose mid-priced models (from 10 to 20 thousand rubles).
You definitely can’t save on power supply. Of the good models, the expert recommends Montech (all without exception: Beta, Gamma 2, Century, Titan Gold), DeepCool (gold certified PF, PK, PQ, DQ, PX, PM, PN), Cougar (Gec, Gex). , Gex X2, Gem, Polar), Chieftec (Polaris, Polaris 3.0, Chieftronic Powerplay, Powerup), Evga (Seasonic, Super Flower).
Definitely not worth buying AeroCool, Player 1, Gigabyte, Be Quiet. To understand how many watts you need, you need to look at the TDP of the card. To do this, Google how much energy each part of the assembly consumes (processor, video card, etc.). You should not use calculators as they may show unrealistic values.
The case needs to be glass, not acrylic, because it will be scratched and get very hot within a month. Also, choose models that are not muffled from the front and do not have normal airflow. One more thing: Don’t buy the AeroCool case.
