In recent years, the PC-gaming for the Russians was a very expensive hobby. The fall of the ruble, the growth in popularity of mining and general rise in price of components have led to what is now a powerful computer to collect less than 50 000 rubles seems an impossible task.
How much are the components in Russia
If you look at the prices at local retailers, then in terror. RAM bracket 8 GB worth not less than 5 000, and for a comfortable game in modern projects ultranastroykah need at least two of these.
CPU the latest generation of medium power (Intel i5-8600, for example) will cost 20,000 rubles. And then for 60 frames per second on its ultra may not be enough - for this need i7, which costs 25 000 rubles.
But most of all afraid of the price of the video card. For example, a popular GTX 1060, which is considered the card of the middle segment (it produces only high FPS at medium settings), where there is a little less than 20 000 rubles. To play the new items in the resolution of 1920 × 1080 with a comfortable frame rate on high settings, you need at least 1070 GTX and 1080 GTX is better - it is not less than 35 000 rubles.
And when you consider the cost of housing, motherboard, hard drives, power supplies and coolers, it turns out that the price of a gaming computer ranges from 60 000 to 80 000 rubles. In this case, power the PC may not be enough for 60 000 to games at the highest settings.
Where to buy parts cheaper
Way to significantly reduce the price of supplies - order them from another country. The main options are: China, USA and Germany.
Chinese Stores
In the last few years there were Chinese manufacturers of video cards - eg, Maxton or Yeston. Their devices are usually cheaper counterparts from large companies such as ASUS or Gigabyte. The quality of the materials in these models is worse, but they are stable. While everything happens - so do not forget to pre-study reviews.
Among the stores where you can buy a video card of Chinese producers, it is worth noting GearBest and AliExpress. For example, GTX 1060 6 GB of memory at these sites for sale at the price of 20 000 rubles - 4-5 thousand cheaper than the models available in the majority of Russian retailers.
Amazon
Basically accessories in the United States cost about the same as in Russia. But there are exceptions: for example, on Amazon the latest generation of processors can be bought at a much lower price. Six-Core i5-8600 This store will cost 16,000 rubles - 3-4 thousand cheaper than in Russia.
computeruniverse.net
Computeruniverse - is one of Europe's largest online shopping technology, which is based in Germany. The range has a very wide - if you want, you can order all the necessary components and peripherals, speakers, headphones, and even monitors.
But it is most advantageous to take the video store. For instance, 1060 GTX from Palit with 6 GB of memory standing there about 18 000 rubles. Moreover, now computeruniverse - one of the few places where you can buy the new generation of cards from NVIDIA: RTX 2070 and RTX 2080.
The cheapest RTX 2070 costs about 34 thousand rubles. It is for 6-8 thousand less than the price in 1080 GTX - the closest analogue of this card - in local stores.
Prices for other components in computeruniverse less favorable (some things are worth even more than the Russian retailers). However, if you order several products, the delivery will be cheaper, and the difference in savings and eventually get more.
