At the first opportunity, we returned chips 9 to the basic gaming configurations0587 Core i3-8100 .
The catalyst here was some rollback in the cost of Intel processors in our market. No, they are still very expensive, but for this reason alone, discarding the possibility of building a PC on this platform is not justified. So, the most affordable 4-core Coffee Lake chips can now be bought in Ukraine for $170, that is, $30-40 cheaper than a month and a half ago. On foreign sites, this model is offered for $130-140. If you are not embarrassed by the nuances of warranty service, and even taking into account the cost of delivery, buying a processor will cost less, you can consider this option for additional savings.
Alas, there are no other ways yet. Or rather, there are, but you are unlikely to like them. The most obvious is the purchase of a processor of the Pentium Gold family. These will initially be frankly weak chips for a gaming system. Two computing cores are no longer enough for heavy projects, despite their fairly high efficiency and support for Hyper-Threading multithreading technology.
Even with a top-end graphics card, some games will experience very annoying stuttering. For example, in the network mode of Battlefield V in conjunction with an RTX 2080, a system with Pentium Gold G5500 provided a quite comfortable 70 fps on average, but the minimum values dropped to 30–35 fps, and in very rare situations (0.1%) performance dropped to 10–15 fps. At the same time, it was possible to observe a torn framerate graph, with special complications during a serious fight in the frame. The resources of the video card were used by 30-40%, while the processor was almost completely loaded. With a very strong desire, of course, you can play in this mode, but you can hardly get pleasure from the game. With the Pentium Gold G5500, it is not available in Assassin’s Creed Origins either. Even with ultra-graphics quality settings, the processor is always loaded at 100% here, the video card — at the same 30-40%. Of course, you won’t find a GeForce RTX 2080 in a system of this level, but these examples show that dual-core gaming systems no longer have a place.
While forced to increase the budget for the purchase of the Intel platform, we also increased the potential of AMD-based PCs by using the Ryzen 5 1400 processor for the base gaming platform. This 4-core model costs about $130, and its obvious advantage over the Ryzen 3 chips is its support for SMT technology, which allows the CPU to process up to eight data streams simultaneously. For resource-intensive games, this will be a very good option. Unless it would be nice to pull up the clock frequencies, because the regular ones are relatively low — 3.2 / 3.4 GHz. Additional 400-500 MHz will not be a problem at all if you have an unlocked multiplier and a motherboard based on the AMD B350/B450 chipset.
If in the case of the Intel platform, saving on the processor without serious consequences will not work, then with AMD there are options. For an initial configuration, a 4-core Ryzen 3 1200 (3.1 / 3.4 GHz) for $ 95 will fit perfectly, the Ryzen 3 2200G chip is also attractive in its category.
The latter costs a little more (~$110), but judging by the popularity of this model, the presence of integrated graphics Vega 8 plays an important role in choosing a processor. Of course, for a gaming system, in any case, you will need a discrete graphics card, but for universal PCs, the possibilities of such an “embedding” are more than enough.
If you continue to search for suitable chips in the indicated price category, you can not lose sight of Ryzen 5 1600 . For $150, it’s just some kind of gift. A full blown 6-core 12-thread processor with 16 MB L3, solder under the cover and decent overclocking potential from starting 3.2/3.6 GHz. This chip already allows you to completely close the issue with the lack of processor power for a gaming system of this class. And if you don’t want to bother with overclocking yourself, the Ryzen 5 1600X 9 is at your service.0588 with a frequency formula of 3.6 / 4.0 GHz, the purchase of which will cost $160. However, you will additionally have to take care of buying a cooler — models with the «X» index from the Summit Ridge family are supplied without standard coolers.
As you can see, AMD offers a lot of temptations here. By adding $10–20–30, you can improve the processor position, and the difference in performance will be by no means symbolic. Here it is already worth focusing on your capabilities. If the budget allows — the money will be well spent, if the allocated amounts are strictly limited, then the base Ryzen 3 1200 will do for a good start.
Against the backdrop of such an abundance of AMD processors in the $90-160 category, the price quirks of Intel chips and, in particular, the objectively overpriced Core i3-8100 are especially acutely perceived. The processor itself is good, but now the 6-core Ryzen 5 1600/1600X are cheaper.
Turning to the choice of video card, we note that the base gaming system now looks great Radeon RX 570 4 GB . The market is literally flooded with a wide variety of models based on the Polaris 20 GPU. The most affordable versions are already offered from $175. Often these are different variations of miner adapters.
Manufacturers need to somehow get rid of the deposits of these devices, and since there is no longer demand from would-be diggers, players have to be interested. Of course, the main lever here is the price reduction, and the results of its use can be observed in the market. In some cases, manufacturers have to negotiate with distributors to increase the warranty period, undertaking to expand technical support from 3 months to 12-24-36. Of course, in each individual case, when buying, it is worth clarifying this point, but if a large well-known online platform promises an appropriate warranty period, then you don’t have to worry about the performance of the video card.
If the issue is resolved with the guarantee, then from the nuances of the miner versions, you can also encounter a limited set of video outputs. In the saddest cases, the «video card» may not have them at all. Obviously, adapter manufacturers were counting on the fact that the demand for such devices would be endless, and any even a penny savings on ports would make it possible to earn more.
Well, they have already paid for their miscalculations and continue to do so. Devices without video outputs are now virtually unavailable for sale, although you should not lose vigilance. But there are more than enough versions of the Radeon RX 570/580 with only one DVI-D on sale. At the same time, there are models with a full set of video outputs. Rated versions for diggers may be stripped of their protective metal plates and come in an anti-static bag without a box, but there will be no difference in terms of performance.
The Radeon RX 570 in the basic gaming segment can compete with … — Radeon RX 580 . Yes, it’s so unexpected. Starter versions with 4 GB on board are offered for $200-230. Moreover, among the «single port» miner versions there are even options with 8 GB of memory for the same money. In principle, there is something to think about. Such a wide range of video cards at very reasonable prices now looks like some kind of compensation for fans of the game for all the suffering that they had to endure during the mining boom.
Looking at NVIDIA solutions, having $180-200 to buy a video card, you will have to choose exclusively from the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB versions. In terms of performance, they are noticeably (20-40%) inferior to the Radeon RX 570 4 GB, although they also have their strengths. To get the same level of fps, you need GeForce GTX 1060 3 GB , but these video cards are more expensive — $ 230-270.
For basic gaming systems, we are starting to recommend 9-inch SSDs.0587 240/256 GB . Similar entry-level SSDs can already be purchased for $40. The doubled capacity will allow you to use the drive not only for the operating system and a set of everyday applications, but also to install a couple of games. In addition, more capacious models are usually somewhat more productive than smaller SSDs. In our opinion, it’s worth the extra $10-15.

Against the backdrop of continuing price upheavals with Intel chips, AMD processors occupy the CPU popularity rating in the corresponding section of hotline.
ua. The maximum user interest is the 6-core model Ryzen 5 2600 (3.4 / 3.9 GHz), which costs about $200. Good value for money with predictable gaming performance and decent headroom for multi-threaded applications. Senior 9The 0587 Ryzen 5 2600X (3.6/4.2GHz) has a more aggressive frequency formula, eliminating the need for overclocking, although it costs more (~$230).
If belonging to the 12-nanometer Pinnacle Ridge chips is not fundamental, the already mentioned Ryzen 5 1600/1600X will be quite appropriate in the optimal gaming configuration. Yes, you will have to tinker with acceleration for the younger model, but for someone such experiments will only be a joy. The older one is initially well boosted, but she will need to buy a cooler separately. In general, there is something to think about and plan to build your system.
The choice of processors is limited for the optimal Intel platform. In this class of systems, it is unlikely that anyone will have a desire to spend extra money, because the reasonable minimum here is the same 6-core Core i5-8400 .
Expensive, of course, but we, of course, will not refuse the Intel platform in the middle gaming segment.
It doesn’t hurt to take a closer look at the sections with offers Core i5-8500/8600/8600K . Given the relatively small spread in the cost of models of one line, it is possible to get a faster processor with a small surcharge. Recall that to overclock chips with the “K” index, you need a motherboard for Intel Z370/Z390 , therefore, if overclocking is not your story, then you can limit yourself to chips with a locked multiplier.
Special mention deserves the Core i5-9600K (3.7/4.6 GHz), offered from $320. Although the Core i5 chips didn’t get much of a change in the Coffee Lake Refresh incarnation, the increased clock speeds and solder under the hood can be a compelling argument for enthusiastic users. New 6-core Intel processors often confidently hit the 5 GHz bar during overclocking, which can justify the additional cost of buying a CPU.
Oh, if such chips were also sold at the recommended price ($262).
Gone are the days when it was easy to decide on a graphics card for optimal gaming configuration. Manufacturers have presented updated solutions, and the price drop for already proven devices in this segment does not make the task easier, although it makes these chores more pleasant.
If you look at the most popular positions, then at the time of writing the top five consists exclusively of Radeon RX 580 8 GB . There is no need to speculate about the reasons. As we have already mentioned, these models are now offered at very attractive prices. Moreover, not only miner versions have interesting price tags, but also classic game models. If you omit the starting options (this is not necessary, of course), then you can pick up solid versions for $250-270. Of course, there are still top-end modifications for $350–400, but the Radeon RX 580 for that kind of money is no longer interesting in principle.
Back in early October, we assumed that conditional Radeon RX 670/680 video cards would soon appear, but the company did not attribute new items based on Polaris 30 chips to the next graphics generation. In addition, one new product was introduced, called Radeon RX 590 . Even before the announcement, it was probably known that no functional improvements were foreseen. The graphics processor uses the same architecture, however, the updated GPUs are manufactured according to 12 nm standards, instead of the previous 14 nm for Polaris 20. The improved technical process allowed the chip to increase the operating frequency and this became the main way to increase the performance of the Radeon RX 590. The number of functional blocks, the type and bandwidth of the memory remained the same as in the case of the Radeon RX 580. Except for the novelty, modifications with 4 GB of local RAM are not provided — only 8 GB versions.
GPU peak operating frequency increased from 1340 MHz to 1545 MHz (+15.
3%). In general, the acceleration is not bad, because the graphics processor on the RX 580 often rested at 1450-1500 MHz during overclocking, but of course you can’t count on a serious performance boost here. As the first test results show, in stock mode, the Radeon RX 590 improves the performance of the conditional predecessor by 10–12%. The frequency potential of Polaris 30 is also slightly higher than that of 14nm crystals, after overclocking the chip runs at 1600+ MHz.
Since AMD does not offer a reference Radeon RX 590 graphics card, the developer does not explicitly specify the thermal design of the adapters, allowing device manufacturers to optimize them at their discretion.
So, the Radeon RX 590 somewhat strengthens AMD’s position in the middle segment, although the Radeon RX 580 does not require much help here to compete with the GeForce GTX 1060. The success of the new product will determine its cost. Recommended price for basic versions of the Radeon RX 590 8 GB — $279.
Devices of the new line are just beginning to appear on our market, so it’s too early to talk about retail price tags. Given the current situation with the RX 580, there is no point in seriously paying extra for + 10-12% performance. Tolerable if we are talking about a proportional increase in price or so, but $ 400, even for the top model, is a clear overkill. We are watching.
What will please NVIDIA? Californians are stubbornly reluctant to announce their plans for next-generation discrete graphics in the mid-range segment. Stocks 9There is still enough 0587 GeForce GTX 1060 6 GB on the market, and therefore, until it is possible to sell devices that miners have not managed to absorb, nothing fundamentally new — GeForce GTX / RTX 2060 — can be expected. Well, almost nothing. Not so long ago, NVIDIA routinely updated the GeForce GTX 1060 specification, modestly indicating that now video cards of this series can be equipped with both GDDR5 memory and GDDR5X , which was previously used only for top models of the Pascal family — GeForce GTX 1080/1080 Ti.
In practice, this means that the GeForce GTX 1060 will use not only the typical GP106 graphics processors for this line, but also GP104, which allow you to work with GDDR5X. These chips are not interchangeable. In fact, for devices with GDDR5X, the platform from the older GeForce GTX 1080 models is used, however, the number of active GPU computing units will correspond to the usual formula for the GTX 1060 — 1280/80/48 (CUDA/TMU/ROPs). Surprisingly, the effective frequency of GDDR5X memory corresponds to that of GDDR5 — 8000 MHz, and in this case its bandwidth will also not change. Video card manufacturers are just starting to announce their GeForce GTX 1060 models with GDDR5X, and only selected versions receive a nominally higher memory frequency (up to 10,000 MHz). For most models, the standard frequency formula is used — 1506/8000 MHz, and in this form their performance will be identical to that of regular versions of the GeForce GTX 1060 6 GB GDDR5. Potentially, GDDR5X chips can operate at higher effective frequencies, but for sure not all video card owners will bother with independent memory overclocking.
What was that all about? Reflection on the launch of the Radeon RX 590 or the ability to use GP104 chips with a limited number of functioning units? Why did developers need to use a more expensive platform for the GeForce GTX 1060 without regularly improving its technical characteristics? So far there are more questions than answers. But we will try to get them during practical tests of video cards with GDDR5X. In the meantime, only classic versions of the GeForce GTX 1060 6 GB are available on the market, which can hypothetically take a place in the optimal gaming configuration. However, it is not easy for them to withstand price competition with the sold-out Radeon RX 580. GeForce GTX 1060 6GB Starter Versions Offered From $280-290, while the top versions cost $370-390. Those who prefer NVIDIA solutions will certainly find arguments for themselves to opt for this video card, even if they have to pay more than for a similar solution with an AMD chip.
To evaluate the current capabilities of the mid-range gaming platform, we recently conducted a hands-on test of the Ryzen 5 2600X and Radeon RX 580 8GB pairing.
This combination looks very convincing, allowing you to use high quality settings in Full HD mode, and often switch to ultra graphics presets. You always want more, especially when you get into exceptions, where such a bunch no longer pulls out a stable 60 frames / s. Of course, you can play around with the settings and get the desired values, but for this we buy a system that costs more than $1000?
When using a combination of Ryzen 5 2600X and Radeon RX 580 in games, there was a feeling of headroom of the processor that could be paired with a more powerful graphics card. The Radeon RX 590 won’t make a big difference, and the older Radeon RX Vega 56 are already over $500. If you still want to increase fps at a lower cost, you can look in the direction of GeForce GTX 1070 and GeForce GTX 1070 Ti . The devices of the last line look especially attractive now. The most affordable GTX 1070 Ti 8GB versions are available from $400 and are a good way to speed up your gaming PC.
It is likely that in the near future we will recommend the GeForce GTX 1070/1070 Ti for optimal configurations. Although, of course, being able to get the Radeon RX 580 8 GB for $230+ to almost double the budget for the purchase of a video card will not be easy. However, there are no less costly ways to improve gaming performance yet.

Counting the money and when choosing a progressive configuration, we recommend using Core i7-8700K processors for the platform on Intel, which now cost about $430 in Ukraine.
The obvious alternative here is the already commercially available Core i7-9700K . According to numerous tests, the 8-core chip gives slightly better performance in games, but disabling Hyper-Threading did not do it any good in multi-threaded applications, where the Core i7-8700K with a functional formula of 6/12 often has an advantage. The Core i7-9700K costs $100-120 more, although the main deterrent subjectively remains the rejection of HT. 8/8 is not always better than 6/12.
However, if buying a processor for $550 fits into your budget, you won’t regret your choice. On the side of Core i7-9The 700K also retains higher stock frequencies, solder under the lid, 8 full cores, and an increased L3 cache.
If the financial issue does not hold back, then the best choice of course would be Core i9-9900K . Top 8-core with support for Hyper-Threading and 16 MB L3. The model performs well both in games and multi-threaded applications, therefore, if $670 for the purchase of a CPU is not a problem, then there can be no other contraindications.
Well, of course, if you don’t mind the difference with $488 recommended for this chip in the manufacturer’s price list.
Against the backdrop of such spending on chips, Intel definitely should not be embarrassed by the price of $ 330 for the top 8-core Ryzen 7 2700X . The AMD processor will not surprise, but it will not let you down in games, but in multi-threaded tasks it will more than work out the money spent. For frugal users ready for frequency experimentation, the Ryzen 7 1700 is still available for $220. In the case of the Ryzen 7 2700X, everything is already overclocked to us, this is an option for those who want to play, and not play with frequencies.
As for discrete graphics, several video cards have a chance to get into progressive gaming configurations at once. If we talk about NVIDIA solutions, then these are of course the proven GeForce GTX 1080 , which can be found on sale for $550-600.
Despite the generally cold user reception of the GeForce RTX series adapters, the junior model of the line potentially looks good here — GeForce RTX 2070 .
In terms of performance, it confidently competes with the GTX 1080, often with a certain advantage, but sometimes slightly inferior to the Pascal solution. At the same time, the RTX 2070 received RT cores and tensor solvers, the usefulness of which may become more obvious over time. The cost of such adapters starts at $600, so we are not talking about a significant overpayment. Of course, if you do not try to compare prices with those for devices purchased at a similar price in the secondary market.
Buying the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti for $750 looks very attractive, especially when using monitors with resolutions higher than 1920×1080. There are enough more affordable options on sale, but now this market is literally flooded with dubious offers — refurbished devices and models from frankly «gray» supplies with a limited warranty from the seller. The temptation to save money here is very strong, but top-end video cards in gaming systems remain one of the most problematic devices, so you don’t want to risk significant amounts.
The used market is littered with GTX 1080 Ti, but the chances of getting a graphics card with surprises are very high here. It would be interesting to see in the comments the stories and impressions of people who chose and recently bought a GTX 1080/1080 Ti on the secondary market.
We also don’t drop the $550 Radeon RX Vega 64 variant. Yes, even if only one model is offered for such money, and even if this is an attempt by some distributor to get rid of deposits, there is no point in paying more for AMD’s top solutions now.
Owners of 4K screens who want to play at maximum graphics quality don’t have much to choose from. Only GeForce RTX 2080 Ti 11 GB can cope with such a task, and even then, with some reservations. We checked. Of course, it’s not easy to come to terms with the fact that for a performance increase of 30–40% you need to double the budget for the purchase of a video card (from $1350), but if there are no regrets about the money spent, otherwise there are no complaints about the RTX 2080 Ti.
To make it morally easier to prepare for a costly purchase, NVIDIA has prepared a gift for future owners of GeForce RTX 2070/2080/2080 Ti series video cards — the Battlefield V game. This is the first project to support ray tracing technology. The implementation still needs to be improved, but in some places it already looks very interesting. The NVIDIA promotion is also relevant for Ukraine, but in our country it works with only one partner.
