20 best gaming computers

The most budget gaming PC in the Omen line from HP. It is based on a 4-core Intel Core i3-8100 processor, complemented by 8 GB of RAM and a GeForce GTX 1060 discrete graphics card with 3 GB of video memory.This inexpensive computer is designed for simple games and is unlikely to successfully pull top-end novelties, especially at normal graphics settings.

But it has a good reserve for future upgrades, so even a simple replacement of RAM with larger slats will significantly increase its performance. Fortunately, otherwise, for a state employee, this system unit is quite good and even received two disk storages: a 1 TB HDD and a 128 GB SSD for installing the OS.

The DEXP brand, owned by the DNS network, produces very budget system units for gamers that are in fairly high demand. For example, the assembly of Mars E191 with an incredibly low price tag hardly claims to be a computer capable of running top games of recent years, but it can become an inexpensive basis for future deep modernization. The case of a budget PC hides a modest but hardy 3.5 GHz 6-core AMD FX 6300 processor, which is paired with a GeForce GTX 1050 Ti graphics card, supplemented by 4 GB of video memory.

There is only 8 GB of RAM, but there are slots for additional brackets. There is no SSD drive on board, but there is room for it, and a 1 TB HDD is offered as the only storage. All this comes in a compact black Mini-Tower standard and does not come with an OS, which also allowed the manufacturer to reduce the price.

The system is assembled in a ThermalTake case.It does not have any design elements, but due to the large number of ventilation holes, the temperature inside remains at an acceptable level. A total of 2 fans can be placed. The location of the power supply is at the bottom. The FX6300 processor is installed in the motherboard on the 970 chipset, which provides minimal overclocking capabilities for the controller and memory, which is 8 GB with a frequency of 1333 MHz. This is not enough and the frequency will have to be raised to at least 1600, and preferably 1866 MHz. The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti graphics card is optimal for a system of this level.

I was pleased with the disk subsystem: in addition to a 1 TB hard drive (rotation speed of 7200 rpm), a 120 GB SSD is installed. It is powered by a 500W power supply. In games, the system unit shows good results: at FullHD resolution, medium or even high settings, the system produces about 35-40 fps. Testing was carried out in games such as The Witcher 3, Battlefield 1, etc.

Inexpensive, but powerful enough PC for economical and practical gamers. It has nothing superfluous: a case with efficient cooling from Zalman, an 8-core AMD Ryzen 7 1700 processor, 16 GB of RAM, a powerful 450 W power supply, a 2 TB hard drive and a 240 GB SSD drive.

The only thing this system unit lacks is a fast video card.For the sake of economy, the manufacturer used a budget GeForce GT 710 with only 1 GB of video memory, which is why you definitely won’t be able to play comfortably at high graphics settings. On the other hand, no one canceled the upgrade, and in a year you can safely install a smarter video chip, easily transferring this gaming computer to the mid-budget segment.

Budget gaming PC with a functional and simple appearance. The front part is deaf, which is not very good for a gaming computer. Despite the presence of 4 seats for additional fans, they are not in the final assembly. Inside, there is a good gaming bundle of Intel Core i5-6500, GTX 1050 Ti, 8 GB DDR4 RAM at 2133 MHz and an entry-level motherboard based on the B250 chipset. It is better to replace the built-in 500 W power supply with something better, for example Cougar. In terms of connectors, there is nothing special to say - there is a standard set that will be enough for most users. Note the lack of a DVD drive. Also, the manufacturer did not install the OS, which somewhat reduces the final cost of the product.

In terms of games, everything is fine. The Witcher 3 on the beyond in Novigrad gives out 40 frames. Thus, before you is an entry-level gaming assembly without an OS and in need of self-finishing.

In the segment of entry-level gaming computers, Lenovo offers the younger models of the Legion line, of which we highlight the relatively inexpensive T530-28ICB model in the 90L300H6RS modification. This assembly received a good bunch of a 6-core Intel Core i5-9400F processor and a GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER video card, but still the latter clearly stands out against the background of a modest CPU, especially given the fact that it has its own 8 GB of video memory. As for the RAM, the Chinese dumped it in the amount of 16 GB, so it's better to buy the second bar right away.

Otherwise, the finished system unit turned out to be quite appropriate for its price: a 350 W power supply, built-in Wi-Fi, a stylish black case and two drives: a budget 1 TB HDD and a 256 GB silent SSD for OS installation. By the way, the latter is not included in the kit, so you will also have to spend money on buying Windows 10.

This assembly from CompYou is hidden in a good case from Zalman. Despite the ambiguous appearance, the airflow here is excellent due to the almost completely open front wall and the lower location of the power supply. The processor socket houses an Intel Core i7-7700. Paired with it is a GeForce GTX 1060 with 6 GB of video memory. Only the amount of RAM is frustrating - only 8 GB - I would like to double it. For the operating system (not pre-installed), you can use a 120 GB SSD. Another 3 TB of storage is available as a 5400 rpm HDD. Not the fastest option, but it is quite suitable for storing an archive.In addition, here you can put a 4 TB drive.

What about performance: all tests were carried out in FullHD resolution with the highest possible graphics settings, only Vsync was turned off. The results are as follows: CS:GO - 200-240fps, Dying Light - 60-70 fps with drawdowns up to 40, GTA V (8x anti-aliasing) - 35-40 fps, PUBG - about 100 fps on average.

This assembly is made in a case from Zalman. Appearance for an amateur, but you can’t find fault with cooling - the temperatures inside are kept at an acceptable level. The processor, at first glance, is lower than in the previous assembly - Core i5-8600. In fact, due to the use of a more modern architecture, this CPU is several percent ahead of the Core i7-7700. Paired with it is a GTX 1060 video chip with 6 GB of memory. Unfortunately, there is not much RAM - 8 GB DDR4. The disk system includes a 1 TB HDD running at 7200 rpm and a 240 GB SSD - enough for the system and for several games. Note that this inexpensive gaming system unit comes preloaded with Windows 10 Home.

In terms of gaming performance, the system is somewhat ahead of the previous competitor. On average, the performance is 10-15 fps higher. The minimum numbers were obtained in the dynamic Call of Duty World War II - an average of 50 fps with drawdowns up to 40 fps. In the vast majority of other games on ultra-graphics settings, the system produces a stable 60 frames per second.

ASUS offers gamers a high performance gaming system in a very compact and stylish body. You might think that “laptop hardware” is installed inside, but this is not so. The only non-desktop element is RAM. But its volume is higher than that of most competitors in the category - 16 GB. The place of the central processor was received by the full-sized Intel Core i7-7700. Reference video card, GeForce GTX 1060 with 3 GB of video memory. The disk subsystem includes one small 1TB HDD and a fast 256GB SSD.

It is worth making a couple of comments about the compactness of the device. Because of it, firstly, it is difficult to organize a serious cooling system, which is why temperatures are on average 10-12 degrees higher than in similar PCs in traditional cases. Secondly, there may be some problems with the upgrade - it is very difficult to install another video card due to the limited space.

Gaming PC of the Russian assembly. Inside is a powerful AMD Ryzen 7 2700X processor. This is an 8-core monster clocked at 3.7GHz. The video card is also quite good - Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070ti with 8 GB of video memory. Unfortunately, the manufacturer saved on RAM – 8GB DDR4 @ 2133MHz. Long-term storage is organized on the basis of a 2-terabyte hard disk. A 120 GB SSD is a good thing, but for such a price I would like a volume of 240 or 480 gigs.

In terms of performance, this system simply tears to shreds all its competitors. GTA V: FullHD, very high graphics settings - at least 88-90 frames, on average about 110. The same figures in FarCry 5, Kingdom Come: Deliverance.Even Call of Duty WWII couldn't get below 100fps. With such performance, it's time to think about switching to a 2K monitor.

Ready-made Lenovo system blocks with gaming hardware are becoming increasingly popular due to a good balance of components, a relatively affordable price and very high quality. This build is based on an 8-core Intel Core i7 9700K processor and a GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER graphics card with 8 GB of memory, which can be considered almost a standard for the mid-budget segment of gaming PCs. But a much more interesting detail is a stylish case with a good study of customizable RGB lighting, which should appeal to those who love not only working, but also beautiful equipment.

It was not without its shortcomings. Firstly, the Chinese saved on RAM, sending only 16 GB. Secondly, the power supply is designed for only 500 watts of power, which drastically limits the possibility of a future upgrade. Thirdly, the amount of installed SSD drive is only 256 GB, which is too small for a gaming computer with a price tag of 150,000 rubles.

Quite an interesting mid-budget system unit from MSI with a lot of room for future upgrades in a couple of years. The computer case hides a bundle of an 8-core Intel Core i7 9700F processor and a GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER video chip, which received 8 GB of its own memory, which will make it easy to run even demanding games without a noticeable subsidence of FPS.

The obvious weak point of this assembly is only 16 GB of RAM, so you will have to buy an additional bar. There are also two disks on board: a 512 GB SSD is perfect for a system and games that require data reading speed, and a classic 1 TB HDD is useful for everything else. An additional plus will be the delivery of MSI Infinite A 9SD-892RU with pre-installed Windows 10 Home, i.e. extra costs are not required.

A gaming computer from a Taiwanese manufacturer of professional-grade gaming equipment, with a catchy appearance and good stuffing. The PC is assembled in a compact and narrow body of the Slim form factor and will not take up much space at the gaming table. It is based on an 8-core Intel Core i7 9700F processor and a GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER graphics card with 8 GB of video memory. There is not so much RAM - the base is only 32 GB, but the possibility of increasing is provided.

The manufacturer also saved a little on disks by installing only an SSD, however, with a capacity of 1 TB, which is already not bad, although an additional HDD for games will not hurt.Perhaps, MSI simply decided not to bother with the selection of suitable components, because the Slim-case sharply limits the list of hardware that can fit in it. This, by the way, will create some inconvenience when planning a future upgrade.

A very stylish pre-assembled MSI is in the best spirit of the company - beautiful and hot. A single turbine in the upper part of the body is responsible for blowing. Air passes through the bottom and exits from the top. There are plenty of ports: 4x USB 3.0, 2x USB Type-C, 2x RJ-45 (you can connect two providers at once to ensure uninterrupted Internet) and HDMI. The Intel Core i7-7700 processor is very good, but the graphics card is relatively simple - GeForce GTX 1070 with 8 GB of video memory. RAM is only 16 GB. This is a DDR4 die running at 2400 MHz. 1TB HDD + 256GB SSD.

We can say that this is one of the best mid-budget gaming computers at the moment. The Deepcool Tesseract case is one of the benchmark gaming cases with excellent ventilation and variability in the configuration of the cooling system. Installed Intel Core i9 processor – The 7900X on socket 2066 with 10 cores runs stock at 3.3 GHz and overclocks to 4.5 GHz. The base version has 16 GB of RAM and can be upgraded to 32 or 64 GB. In all cases, dies from 4 different manufacturers will be used, but we recommend Samsung as the highest quality ones.There is only one video card and this is a 11 GB GTX 1080 Ti with a 352-bit bus.

The hard drive can be 1 or 2 TB from the only Seagate company. Installation of SSD-drives from 60 to 240 GB is available. It is worth noting that when assembling a PC at your request and with a surcharge, the store can replace the GTX 1080 with an RTX 2080 with all the ensuing consequences.

HP knows how to produce high-quality gaming PCs and the Omen 880-169ur is a prime example of this. Based on the 8-core Intel Core i7 9700K processor and Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 graphics chip, the assembly has been specifically tested for compatibility with Oculus VR headsets, so it is suitable not only for classic gaming, but also for immersive virtual reality.

However, several shortcomings prevent this computer from climbing to the top of the top. First, the amount of video memory is limited to 8 GB, and the base level of RAM is only 32 GB. Secondly, there are not the most capacious drives on board: a 1 TB HDD and a 256 GB SSD. On the other hand, the manufacturer equipped the system unit with advanced cooling with a power reserve, so there is an excellent head start for modernization.

Gaming system unit based on the powerful AMD Ryzen 9 3950X processor with a maximum operating frequency of 4.7 GHz. This computer also received a GeForce RTX 2080 Ti graphics card in a version with 11 GB of memory, plus 64 GB of base RAM, expandable up to 128 GB. There are two disks in the PC: a fairly capacious 3 TB HDD for games and a modest but quiet 120 GB SSD for installing the OS.

It is the small volume of the SSD that can be considered the main drawback of the PRO-0406542, but it can be easily replaced with a more capacious option as part of an upgrade. As compensation, the manufacturer offers a warranty extended to 5 years and free service during the first three years of operation.

Top assembly from a Russian company that has established itself as a reliable supplier of professional-level gaming PCs. At the heart of this model is a powerful 3.0 GHz Intel Core i9-10980XE processor, complemented by 128 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz RAM and a GeForce RTX 2080 Ti discrete graphics card with 11 GB of video memory. In addition, this gaming system unit is equipped with reliable liquid cooling, which will allow you to drive it at maximum loads without the risk of overheating expensive hardware. To install the OS and games, two disks of 1 TB each are provided: HDD + SSD.

As for the shortcomings, we note the delivery without a pre-installed OS, which is a clear minus at the declared assembly price. In addition, at such a cost of a computer, one would like to get more capacious disks, the volume of which in modern conditions can be safely considered insufficient.

The newest and incredibly powerful system unit from the Omen line, made in an interesting minimalistic style of case design. This premium gaming PC has an 8-core Intel Core i7 10700K processor with auto overclocking up to 5.1 GHz. Also on board is a powerful GeForce RTX 2080 Ti graphics card with 11 GB of internal memory, 32 GB of RAM and two drives: 2 TB HDD + 1 TB SSD. This PC build will allow you to run absolutely any game on the best graphics settings, and will remain relevant in the next couple of years without the need for an upgrade.

The only weak point is the amount of base RAM, but it can be easily increased thanks to four DDR4-3200 slots. Well, it makes sense to replace the standard 750 W power supply with something more powerful.

The most expensive ready-made gaming system unit on the Russian market, featuring incredible power and good opportunities for future upgrades. Under the stylish body is a 10-core Intel Core i9-10900KF processor with a clock speed of 3.7 GHz, paired with a GeForce RTX 2080 Ti graphics card, supplemented by its own 11 GB of video memory. This bundle easily digests any games at high FPS, and 64 GB of base RAM will eliminate any freezes.

What's more, the RAM is easily expandable up to 128GB, making this PC build the most powerful gaming PC ever made in Russia.Add to this a set of 6 TB HDD and 2 TB SSD, a 1000 W power supply, a lot of ports for gaming peripherals, and we get the perfect tool for a professional e-sports player. Of course, there are also disadvantages. Firstly, the case is quite simple for such a price. Secondly, this assembly is available in a limited number of stores.
