For those who want to purchase a PC, it will be very convenient to assemble a computer online. The idea is quite simple - online stores have all the components of a computer, that is, and so on.
Therefore, you can take a specific model of a particular component, buy it and assemble a single computer from this.
But the problem is that not all models of PC parts will work well in combination with each other.
Content:compday.ru
compday.ru is an excellent online store selling computer equipment. The advantage of this site is that the range here is very large.
That equipment, which is not available, will not be able to participate in the comparison, and, accordingly, will not be able to become part of the future computer.
But due to the fact that there are always so many goods here, each user has a great opportunity to assemble a pretty good working machine online.
The process of using the compday.ru service is as follows:
1. First you need to go to the page "designer of the future computer" (here is the link).
Selecting each component is quite simple. For example, let's choose a processor model. To do this, in the appropriate section, click on the drop-down list, where initially there are three dashes.
Again, for example, we will choose a fairly old but reliable Intel Core i3 processor. As you can see, they are also divided into categories depending on the sockets.
It is also convenient that each available model has its price next to it.
3. Now the selected processor will appear in the block on the right.
The same should be done with the motherboard, RAM, video card, cooling system and other PC components.
If you do not want to select a part, just leave three dashes there, that is, do nothing. Gradually, the future machine will be assembled in the “Your Computer” block.
Its cost will be written below. You can click on the "Order" button so that compday.ru specialists will assemble a computer with the selected components.
Rice. 2. Assembled computer on the compday.ru constructor page
If any of the selected components are incompatible, the site specialists will inform you about it. In some cases, they do not advise choosing one or another set of components.
In any case, the compday.ru site builder is very easy to use and simple, even novice users can figure it out.
Each user can take a screenshot of the assembled computer, or simply print out the selected set of components and go to the nearest electronics store along with it.
In addition, the same components can be purchased in other online shops. And now let's consider another constructor with a similar scheme of work.
edelws.ru
Another very good resource that has a lot of recommended (ready-made) computer configurations.
In addition to the ability to select PC parts, there is a display of the characteristics of the future machine.
In particular, you can see the processing power, cooling efficiency, and how much. In general, it is quite convenient and, again, simple.
To use the edelws.ru constructor, do the following:
1. Go to the page of this service (here it is).
2. Let's first try to use the constructor, and after that we will consider how to use "Recommended Configurations".
The "Indicators" tab at the top is responsible for the constructor. Here, too, everything is divided into parts. For example, let's also start our choice with the processor.
To add it, click on the appropriate button under the inscription "Processor". A panel with available processors will appear on the right.
Rice. 3. Adding a processor on the edelws.ru constructor page
3. After adding the processor, the page of the added device will appear on the screen. This makes it possible to read more detailed information about it.
Rice. 4. Information about the device when adding one on the site edelws.ru
4. The same should be done with the cooling system, RAM, and other components.
Near each of them there is a button "Add". As you add, pay attention to the change in the characteristics of the future computer at the top.
Rice. 5. The process of assembling a computer using the edelws.ru constructor
5. And also in the process of adding devices on the designer page, information about all of them will be displayed. When the computer is assembled, you can click on the button "Collect and buy".
Then edelws.ru specialists will assemble a PC for you and send it to the specified address.
6. In addition to manual collection, you can also use the section "Recommended Configurations". To do this, go to the appropriate tab at the top of the designer page.
A list of available configurations will appear in the drop-down list. You can click on one of them.
The main indicator for selection in this case is the price of the computer. After clicking on the configuration, a list of devices included in it will appear.
Any of them can be changed by clicking on the corresponding button under the device. If desired, you can also reset the configuration or save it (there are also buttons for this).
It is also interesting that the edelws.ru site allows you to assemble a computer “for the game”, and for a specific one, for example, World of Tanks or GTA 5.
There are also graphic stations and PCs for work here. All this is possible using the appropriate tabs at the top of the site window.
Rice. 8. Ready computers site edelws.ru
In general, we have a really well-designed designer.
ironbook.ru
ironbook.ru is a fairly popular and promoted online store of computer equipment.
It is worth saying that there is an interesting trend right now, according to which the average site for the sale of computer components can become really cool if they add a PC designer page.
In general, this secret was used by employees of the site ironbook.ru.
The assortment of the store is also quite wide, so there is plenty to choose from and assemble a really high-quality computer. Let's proceed directly to the use of the constructor.
To do this, you need to do this:
- Go to the ru constructor page (here it is).
- Further, the principle of operation is the same - there are components, such as a processor, cooling, and so on, and all this must be selected. To do this, under each of them there is a button. "Select Component". After selection, you can click on the "Replace" or "Delete" buttons.

All in all, ironbook.ru is a really useful site to help you make a quality working machine.
Due to the current difficult situation with the video card market and exorbitant prices, it is not necessary to talk about buying a budget computer in 2018. Players might be advised to switch to consoles - for example, the Playstation 4 Pro/1TB is now worth as much as the average GTX 1060 graphics card.
The rest of the pack boyars have to moderate their graphical appetites and choose a video card one level lower. They wanted to take the GTX 1080, now, God forbid, scrape together on the GTX 1070. Thanks to the gentlemen of the miners and a small cartel conspiracy of video card manufacturers, who, in turn, kick at the manufacturers of RAM, allegedly the latter exorbitantly inflate the prices of their products and, on top of that, disrupt the supply of GDDR5 chips so necessary for the production of video cards.
So all the same, how to build the best computer in 2018? Which processor and motherboard to choose for it, how to choose a video card and optimal RAM - read below!
Top computer (enthusiast), budget from 100 thousand rubles
gaming computer
We prefer the latest generation Intel processors Coffee Lake. The most expensive in the coffee line is the i7 8700K. The motherboard on the older Z370 chipset is suitable for the processor. The Z370 will allow you to overclock the processor and increase the frequency of the RAM in case the performance in the stock is not enough.
Memory for a gaming PC is enough 16 gigabytes. It is advisable to buy a 2x8 GB kit for memory operation in dual-channel mode. The performance of the system as a whole directly depends on the frequency of the RAM, so it is advisable to choose DDR4 sticks with a rating of ~ 2666-3000 MHz. Also pay attention to timings. Memory with low latency CL14/15 is more expensive than a typical CL16. By the way, the profit from low timings is more noticeable on Intel processors, on AMD Ryzen the high operating frequency of the RAM will bring great benefits.
The main thing in a powerful gaming computer, of course, is the video card. The top models of the Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti are best suited for gaming builds. However, video cards now cost an indecent amount even for wealthy gamers. Therefore, we can advise you to pay attention to video cards of the GTX 1070 Ti, RX Vega 56/64 level. Wealthy gentlemen choose monsters like the Titan V, although it is more difficult to buy the latter than the iphone x on the day of the start of sales. According to the latest insiders, you should not expect price reductions with the release of the two thousandth series of jeeforces, unless of course you are ready to wait forever. For comfortable gaming in 4K, one 1080 Ti with ultra graphics settings will not be enough, if finances allow - get two GTX 1080 Ti video cards.
Installing an SSD drive will help reduce the boot time of the system and games. For optimal performance, it is worth spending on two disks - allocate one disk for the operating system with a paging file, and install games and applications on the second.
Hard drives are selected based on needs. Models up to 14 TB are currently on the market. If you do not work with huge amounts of information, it is quite possible to do without classic HDDs. However, remember that in the event of a failure, it is quite difficult, and most likely impossible, to recover information from a solid state drive. So regularly back up important data to an external HDD.
Computer for work
For work tasks (programming, rendering, editing, modeling, photo processing, and more), both the presence of fast cores and their number are important.
We recommend paying attention to the top-end Ryzen 7 1700 on the AM4 platform, as the most budget eight-core processor. The desktop Ryzen 7 uses the AM4 platform, so you can easily upgrade an existing PC that uses an AMD Ryzen processor. By the way, AMD will support the AM4 socket for another 2-3 years, so you won't have any problems with a future upgrade.
For the serious guys, the Intel LGA2066 platform is the way to go, with a wide range of processors ranging from the ultra top 18-core i9-7980XE to more affordable octa-cores like the i7-7820x. For Skylake-X processors, rather expensive motherboards based on the X299 chipset are suitable. The chipset supports quad-channel memory, has a large number of free PCIe lanes, which allows you to connect several fast devices (video cards, nvma drives).
It is also worth considering assembling productive systems based on AMD Ryzen-ThreadRipper processors. Only three processors are available in this line: the eight-core 1900x, the twelve-core 1920x and the older ripper 1950x are equipped with sixteen cores. Threadrippers require a motherboard with a TR4 socket based on the X399 chipset. The characteristics are similar to the X299 platform from Intel, but AMD costs a third less. The only downside is non-standard mounts for the cooling system and a small assortment of TR4 motherboards.
Pretop computer, budget 80 - 90 thousand rubles
Great computer for work and play. On this system, you can equally comfortably play a popular game, or render a project in Premiere or Blender. Note that Intel processors are more suitable for building gaming systems, and the eight-core Ryzen for workstations.
Medium - mainstream computer, budget 60 - 70 thousand rubles
Optimal PC for gaming in FHD 1080p resolution, also great for office applications. Recommended graphics card is nvidia GTX 1060 with 6 GB of memory. The price tag on the RX 580 is now too high.
In this category, Intel fans have some problems - in particular, Intel has not yet given birth to budget motherboards for the 1151v2 socket (B360, H370, H310 chipsets), so you will have to buy an expensive motherboard based on the Z370 chipset. AMD has no such problems - for the popular Ryzen 5 1600 processor, you can choose any motherboard on socket AM4 (A320, B350, X370). The mid-budget motherboard based on the B350 has overclocking features and has everything you need to build a high-performance computer, while the price tag for such motherboards is half that of the similar Z370 from Intel.
Budget option 35 - 40 thousand rubles
RAM: 8-16 GB 2400-2666 MHz
For a gaming system without a graphics card, we recommend AMD Ryzen 5 2400G with a built-in Vega video core, which delivers GT1030/RX550 performance. The computing power of the R5-2400G processor is comparable to the R5-1500X, which makes it possible to upgrade in the future - you just need to buy a powerful video card without changing the processor. It is worth noting that the Ryzen 5 2400G out of the box is guaranteed to work with memory at a frequency of 2933 MHz (instead of 2400 MHz for desktop ryzens).
Ultra-budget assemblies up to 20 thousand rubles
Such assemblies are suitable for mining farms or media centers.
The cheapest processor is taken, for example Celeron G3930, equipped with an integrated Intel UHD 610 video core. This budget processor is capable of playing online video with 4K resolution.
4 GB of DDR4 RAM is enough for a media center. Any frequency is suitable, starting from the standard for DDR4 2133 MHz. We recommend taking the cheapest "green" chips from Samsung, this RAM is quite reliable and at the same time it accelerates well.
A discrete video card in the ultra-budget segment is not considered.
Popular builds are good PCs
In addition to the fact that the computer stores themselves are divorced immeasurably, besides, in the stores themselves, the choice of both ready-made computers and individual components for them is simply incredible. To an uninitiated user, it will not be clear what is responsible for what and what to choose. Often, people are guided by prices, by the number of gigabytes, gigahertz, cores, or simply listen to what sales managers tell them.
I, in turn, in this field, as they say, "ate the dog" and I know not only what goes with what, but also about more serious and important details, without knowing which, you can make gross mistakes. In this post, I will briefly try to talk about some of the details of choosing system components and give 3 examples of gaming computer configurations that you can order and assemble, both on your own and in a store.
The first thing to consider when choosing a gaming computer is that you should never buy them ready-made! Those people who are engaged in the selection of components do not at all want to select the appropriate components for a gaming computer, moreover, the finished PCs themselves, as a rule, are much more expensive than the computer you have chosen yourself, or rather its components, for subsequent assembly, and even taking into account that some stores take money for assembly, anyway, the kit you choose will be more powerful and cheaper than ready-made analogues. Therefore, we forget about ready-made solutions and proceed to the choice of components.
When choosing components for a gaming PC, you need to consider the following factors:
1) And most importantly! The performance of a computer and its individual components cannot be measured by comparison with other models based on the amount of memory in gigabytes, or based on frequencies, number of cores, etc. Real performance is measured in terms of specific programs, in real tests that are conducted on popular, reputable publications dedicated to computers and components, you can easily find information on individual components by typing a query into Google, such as "Intel i5-4590k Review", or for example "GTX980Ti review". In order to verify the veracity of the information, go to 3-4 different reviews at once and check the information, if it converges approximately everywhere, then everything is correct.
2) Intel processors almost always turn out to be more powerful than AMD processors in games, and it doesn’t matter at all that the same intel i3 has only 2 physical cores, and the same AMD FX-8300 has as many as 8, and even for a large frequency. But the bottom line is that intel processors have a strikingly large performance per core and this performance gives them an advantage over AMD processors in games, because games are rather reluctant to optimize for multi-threading (multi-core). Therefore, when choosing a processor, you need to focus on real tests in real games, and not on synthetic tests, such as SuperPi. The most optimal processor for games is almost any intel i5 with a frequency above 3.2 GHz, and if you need more performance, then pay attention to processors with the letter "K" at the end, such processors can overclock, which adds to performance and sometimes very much ! Also, it is worth keeping a balance between the processor and the video card, it is completely useless to put the intel i5 in combination with, say, the GTX750Ti, but it will also be too illogical to put the i3 and the GTX980Ti, it will not be enough. It should be remembered that the processor should not cost more than the video card!
3) A video card is the main component of a gaming computer, on the basis of this component you need to build a gaming computer and the power of a video card is not measured in gigabytes, or simply in megahertz, in fact, there is no power measurement in principle. There are separate indicators, such as - the amount of memory, which is not so important if you have more than 3 gigabytes on a video card from 15000r, or from 2 gigabytes on cheaper cards, or the frequency of the GPU, which may vary between different models, the same product (one and the same chip model, say GTX970, can be produced by dozens of companies and each video card will be different), etc. Also, it is worth considering that there are reference and non-reference designs, what does this mean? The reference design is the standard design provided by the manufacturer for this video card model, the reference design video cards heat up and make more noise, so their purchase is not recommended. Video cards of non-reference design heat up less and make less noise, as they have a better cooling system, with several large and quiet fans, and also sometimes have a different component base, which allows them to be overclocked more efficiently, so I recommend purchasing video cards only reference design.
4) The amount and frequency of RAM - in fact, the amount of RAM for games is only 8 gigabytes, more is not needed in fact, and the frequencies do not play a special role, so the best choice is 2 memory sticks of 4 gigabytes with a frequency of 1600 MHz, preferably Samsung Original, or HYNIX Original. Sticks without the word "Original" are counterfeits on these chips and are of inferior quality.
5) Hard drive and SSD - for most games you only need an acceptable hard drive, for example Western Digital Black and there will be no positive reaction from installing an SSD in games, but installing the same SSD allows the system itself to work much faster and speeds up the loading of games itself .
6) Motherboards - the biggest misconception is that expensive, cool motherboards give an increase in performance. This, alas, is not so! The motherboard is the link between the processor, memory, video card and other components of the system, in fact, the motherboard is the wires between the components of the system. But also, it is worth considering that motherboards may have functions that are important to you and you should choose a motherboard based on your needs. When choosing a motherboard, in addition to the obvious things, such as choosing a socket (socket for a processor) and checking compatibility with the selected processor, you need to look at - the number of connectors you need - SATA for hard drives and drives, USB 2.0 and 3.0, etc. look at the presence of such functions as SLI, Crossfire, which allow you to install several video cards at the same time, but if you don’t need such a function now, then it’s better to refuse to buy such motherboards, you overpay huge sums for these functions. The best option is a motherboard costing 4-5 thousand rubles, ATX form factor with an 8pin processor power connector and 4 memory module connectors, as well as 5-6 connectors for connecting sound devices.
7) Power supplies - The biggest misconception about power supplies is that more watts is better. Nothing like this! There will be no difference between a 65 and 1500 watt PSU for your system, if it is built on one processor and one video card. The power supply must be selected based on the consumption of the system. The most powerful video card cannot consume more than 350 watts, the processor, no more than 250 (rare specimens, overclocked, without overclocking, powerful CPUs eat about 80-100 watts), everything else consumes about 70 watts. Therefore, for systems around 30000r, 500-550 "watts" is enough, for powerful PCs, with one video card, "for overclocking", 650 watts, and for the rest, it depends on the number of video cards, but the rule is simple - +1 video card = +300 watts.
8) Do not forget about cooling systems, if the processor is overclocked, then you need to choose a processor "cooler" based on tests, the most optimal option, for example Coolermaster S200. If the processor is not chasing, then you can choose a simpler cooler, up to 500 rubles, according to reviews on the same Yandex market.
This is how components are selected somehow, and now I will give 3 examples of decent assemblies with a certain price category, these assemblies are intended only for games and do not meet certain requirements, but this does not mean that they cannot, say, be engaged in work, or rendering / audio processing. Also keep in mind that theoretically it is possible to select even more optimal components, but for this you need to start from stores and the presence of certain components in them, these components are selected in one store that delivers goods throughout Russia and has its own representative offices in many cities. (prices are taken from one popular store, its name cannot be indicated according to the rules of chips).
And so here are 3 configurations from me:
The configurations themselves with links to the store:
30.000Р:
Processor (CPU) - AMD Athlon X4 860K Black Edition, OEM 4170r
CPU Cooler - Cooler Master S200
Motherboard - ASUS A88XM-A 3340r
RAM - DIMM DDR3 1600Mhz 8GB Hynix Original 3750r
Video card - MSI R9 270 GAMING 2G, R9 270, 2048MB, GDDR5, Retail 9430r
Housing - InWin IW-EAR007 500W4290r
Total - 30300r
This configuration has a price within 30000r and is designed to replace game consoles, it can play all modern and planned games at settings close to high. If you have money, then you should replace the motherboard with an AM3 + with an AMD970 chipset, for example from MSI and replace the processor with an AMD FX-8300, it will cost about 3-3.5 thousand rubles, but it will be worth it.
55.000Р, video timecode 15:55:
Processor (CPU) - Intel Core i5-4590, OEM 13860r
CPU cooler - Cooler Master CP6-9HDSA-0L-GP 530r
Motherboard - ASUS B85M-G 3640r
Hard drive - 1TB, Seagate SV 35.5, ST1000VX000 3750r
Video card - Palit PA-GTX970 JetStream 4G, GTX 970, 4096MB, GDDR5, Retail 22170r
Housing - InWin IW-EAR007 4290r
Total - 52310r
This system unit is designed for high and ultra settings in all modern games, like the previous system unit, it has exactly the same case, with a built-in 500 watt power supply, mATX motherboard, the same 1TB hard drive. But this configuration is not designed for overclocking, at least the processor, and the power of the video card and processor allow you to play all games comfortably.
80.000R:
Processor (CPU) - Intel Core i5-4690K, OEM 16620r
CPU cooler - Cooler Master S200 940r
Motherboard - MSI Z97S SLI KRAIT EDITION 7520r
RAM - DIMM DDR3, 8GB (2x4GB), Kingston HyperX FURY blue, HX316C10FK2/8 3970r
SSD - SSD 128GB, Plextor M6S, PX-128M6S 4500r
Hard drive - 1TB, Seagate SV 35.5, ST1000VX000 3750r
Video card - MSI GTX 980 GAMING 4G, GTX 980, 4096MB, GDDR5, Retail 33450r
Case - Corsair Carbide Series SPEC-01, CC-9011050-WW 3790r
Power Supply - ATX Corsair CX 750, CP-9020015-EU, 750W 5930r
Total - 80470r
This system unit is at the forefront of technology. The motherboard with SLI support, overclockable processor, power supply and case are designed to install two video cards, and the existing video card is a pre-top one and gives consistently high FPS in all games. This configuration is intended for a narrow circle of people who crave high FPS and juicy pictures.
Of course, not everything is matched perfectly, but it is possible to select ideally only for a specific person and his tasks.
That's all, I hope you enjoyed reading this ton of text and it will be useful to you. And remember - in no case, do not buy ready-made computers, they cost you more and work much worse. In the modern world, there are shops where you will be collected and helped in the selection of components for the system!
Even a beginner can build a gaming PC in the HYPERPC online configurator. Specify a gaming platform, and the service will offer components for stable collaboration, drives, cooling systems and peripherals. And our engineers can professionally assemble a computer to order in Moscow. When assembling a computer, the HYPERPC system block configurator takes into account the requirements of heavy games - this is a great helper to create a powerful platform with the best components of 2018. The compatibility analysis takes into account the recommendations of manufacturers, the results of stress tests and the experience of e-sportsmen.
Choose a configuration
The system block designer with compatibility check evaluates not only the type of slots, buses, ports and connectors. All components are tested to work in harmony with each other, so even with a limited budget, you can build a good computer with high performance. Start by defining your platform, and the configurator will suggest the available components to build your custom gaming PC.
Online assembly of the system unit

The calculator will show the cost of the configuration, including assembly and customization. There are hints for each component, they will help you make a decision. You can immediately order peripherals, install an operating system and other software, modding and safely overclocking your computer. You can create several configurations and compare them with each other.
PC configurator
For each gaming platform, components with different characteristics are offered - from the entry level in their segment to the top-end hardware. The system block constructor with compatibility check contains components from different manufacturers, so the choice of a gaming computer is not limited. The order will go into production immediately after confirmation from you. If in doubt, the expert assistance of HYPERPC employees is at your service, who will help you assemble a gaming computer in 2018 to confidently conquer the gaming peaks.
The first step is to determine exactly the tasks for which your future system unit will be used. If the purchase of gaming equipment is planned, then special attention should be paid to the video card, and for a graphics workstation, the processor power and the amount of RAM play a fundamental role. The least demanding in terms of performance are office systems. You do not even need to add an external video card, because the built-in one will be enough. The first step is to select a processor. This element affects the overall performance of the entire system and the more cores there are (and the higher their frequency of operation), the faster operations will be performed.
Next, the PC configurator will help you choose the motherboard. It must be compatible with the CPU and support the RAM of the required frequency. Pay attention to the presence of all the necessary slots and connectors, as well as the size of the motherboard itself (ATX, micro ATX, mini ATX, etc.). Usually, any of them already has a built-in network and sound card. The online store builder site will automatically select the appropriate options after you select the processor, and will exclude the ones that are not suitable. The gaming computer must be equipped with an external video card. If you want to regularly play modern games and forget about upgrading your system for a long time, then it's not worth saving. This also applies to the amount of RAM, it will not particularly affect the cost of a PC, but it will significantly affect performance. The amount of information that you can store on your computer at the same time depends on the size of the hard drive. But to increase the performance of the system, it is recommended to additionally install an SSD drive. It will contain the OS, programs and applications.
For convenient work with external data carriers, the system unit, if desired, is equipped with an optical drive and a card reader. One of the important elements of the system unit is the power supply. Its power should be selected after calculating the total volume of electricity consumption by components. In addition, leave a margin of 100-200 watts for reliable operation under increased loads on the processor and video card. The designer will not let you make a mistake with the choice of power supply, as it will take into account the components you have chosen and provide only suitable cases with power supplies.
The configuration of a powerful gaming computer provides for an additional cooling system, which is selected automatically, depending on the selected processor. It remains to collect everything in the body. It can be quite simple and straightforward if you plan to install the system unit under the table where no one will see it, or it can have neon lights and a window on the side that allows you to observe the operation of the system (gaming options). This is a matter of taste, but keep in mind that the case for a gaming PC should be roomy and have good ventilation so that the components do not overheat at peak loads.
Any difficulties?
For the convenience of customers, it is possible to send the resulting configuration for printing. And if there are difficulties, then you should take the help of our engineer, who will tell you which components are more correct to use in order to obtain optimal technical characteristics.
By choosing to build a computer with us, you get the best prices and service. We guarantee fast, but careful delivery of your system unit.
