If you’re looking to buy a new gaming PC right now, there are a few things to consider. Such a mount will have an advantage over a gaming laptop, because on such a computer you can play games, as well as do 3D graphics, programming and work with video. In other words, it is a universal thing.
A desktop computer consists of only eight main components. IT CPU, graphics card, power supply, RAM, SSD, motherboard, cooler and case.
First of all, it is important to choose video card and Processorthis will pair well with each other. If any of these components is weak, it cannot fully function. If you want to get a more detailed, high-resolution image in games, you need a powerful graphics card, and if you want to have the highest possible FPS, you first need a powerful processor. For balanced gaming (Full HD, 60 fps), it is best to get a cheap video card and budget processor.
choose in 2022 Processor of any brand (Intel / AMD), but not only the cheapest and most expensive: the best options are Intel Core i3-10105F, 4-core 8-thread (4-core 8-thread models like Core i3 -12100) or 6-core From the 12-thread (Ryzen 5 5600X), flagship – 8-core 16-thread (AMD Ryzen 7 5800X) or modern heterogeneous Intel processors (Core i5-12400). Get Core i3/i5/i7 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th line or Ryzen 5/Ryxen 7 5000 and 7000 line processors.
Coolers Choose with 3-4 heatpipes and a big fan. Also, the larger the diameter of the latter, the quieter it works.
talking about video card, then the AMD Radeon has the lowest FPS price for today. For example, for 1920×1080 resolution this is AMD Radeon RX 6600 for 2560×1440 – AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT – Radeon RX 6800 and 6800 XT for 3840×2160.
Watch out for GeForce RTX 3060, 1440p – RTX 3070, 4K – RTX 3080 when choosing Nvidia for 1080p resolution. Also on such video cards, DLSS technology can be enabled in 4K, which will increase performance.
Regarding the amount of video memory: 6GB is enough for 1080p, 8GB for 1440p, 12GB for 4K.
From motherboards Definitely don’t buy cheap. The thing is that with such a motherboard, a powerful processor will not be able to realize its full potential. For modern Core i5 and i7, you need to buy boards for 10-15 thousand rubles, for Ryzen 5 and 7 – for 6-12 thousand rubles.
When choosing a motherboard, focus on the rulers and chipset, not the brand.
Related random access memorythen the optimal configuration would be two DDR4 8GB 3200MHz sticks in dual channel mode.
Of the drivers for a computer only SSD. A cheap, non-cache 1TB QLC SSD with enough free space on it is suitable. Also, the larger the capacity of the SSD, the higher its speed and reliability. Of the most affordable SSD models, Kingston, Transcend, Kioxia, Crucial, WD, from the younger series Samsung stand out (capacity – from 500 GB).
It is also not recommended to be used. power suppliescomes with this body. If the power supply fails due to overheating, it can also damage other components: motherboard, video card, etc. For games you need a heavy-duty branded power supply that is 80+ certified and has enough power. If possible, get detachable power supplies.
From buildings choose the ones with the transparent side cover, they are quite heavy and the power supplies are located at the bottom. It should cost about 2-6 thousand rubles.
