5 Lenovo IdeaCentre 310S-08ASR (90G9006GRS)
Country: China
Average price: 16150 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.6
The maximum budget assembly of the system unit for the home based on the 2-core AMD A6-9225 CPU, operating at a frequency of 2.6 GHz and supplemented by an integrated AMD Radeon R4 graphics chip. There is also 4 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz RAM on board, with the possibility of increasing up to 8 GB with an additional slot. In addition to the low price, this desktop PC attracts with the acceptable quality of the components used, which are time-tested and enduring to the constant operation mode.

4 Profit77 PRO-0096420
Country: Russia
Average price: 17950 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.6
A good and inexpensive option for the home, able to digest not too old games, but with serious limitations in graphics settings. This desktop computer is based on the Intel Celeron G3930 processor with two Kaby Lake cores, clocked at 2.9 GHz. The kit comes with 8 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz RAM and a discrete graphics card NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 with 2 GB of its own video memory. A clear drawback of the PC PRO-0096420 is that it is delivered without hard drives, which made it possible to lower the price.
On the other hand, the Profit77 company completes the system unit with a very powerful 500 W power supply, i.e. you can safely buy a pair of SSD + HDD and plan a future replacement of the video card. Another important point, which is often pointed out by user reviews, is an extended warranty from the manufacturer: 2 years for all components and 3 years of free service.
3 Lenovo IdeaCentre 510S-07ICK
Country: China
Average price: 23900 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.7
The Chinese brand Lenovo has firmly established itself in the market of ready-made system blocks for the home, and one of the most interesting models is the relatively inexpensive IdeaCentre 510S-07ICK PC, based on a 4-core Intel Core i3 9100 CPU with a base clock speed of 3.6 GHz. In addition, this desktop computer immediately received 8 GB of DDR4 RAM, but part of it is reserved for the needs of the integrated graphics core Intel UHD Graphics 630. However, the main trump card of the model is a bunch of 128 GB SSD and 1 TB HDD, i. initially there is a better disk for the OS and a lot of free space for movies or games.
As for the opinions of buyers, negative reviews for this assembly are very rare and are often associated with minor quibbles that were not taken into account when planning the purchase. For example, the Slim case form factor, which complicates the selection of components when upgrading, or the lack of a Wi-Fi module.
2 TopComp MG 5835423
Country: Russia
Average price: 16990 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.8
This Russian-made desktop PC is built on the basis of a durable 4-core AMD A8 X4 9600 processor with a clock speed of 3.1 GHz. In addition to it, there are 4 GB of DDR4 RAM with an operating frequency of 2133 MHz, plus an inexpensive NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 discrete graphics card with 2 GB of its own memory. Also in the assembly there is a nimble 2 TB HDD, a whole bunch of USB ports and an audio chip with support for 5.1-channel sound, which is useful for building a home theater.
In general, it turned out to be a good system unit for home or office, capable of pulling most of the games of recent years, at least at graphics settings slightly below average. With working software, including graphics packages, this computer does an excellent job, as eloquently indicated by customer reviews, which also note the durability of the hardware used. Among the obvious shortcomings, we highlight the limited upgrade potential and only a year of factory warranty.
1 Acer Aspire XC-885
Country: Taiwan (made in China)
Average price: 17499 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.8
Demanded on the market and inexpensive model with an excellent balance of price / performance, which is separately emphasized in user reviews.This PC is based on a fairly powerful Intel Core i3 9100 processor with 4 cores of 3.6 GHz each and the ability to auto-overclock to 4.2 GHz. The video card is integrated here - Intel UHD Graphics 630 and eats up part of the RAM for its needs, and the RAM in the base is only 4 GB, but there is an expansion slot. Another interesting feature is that it only comes with a 128 GB SSD, so you will have to buy or use an external HDD.
As for sensitive shortcomings, the key lies in the layout of the case, made in a compact Slim form factor, which is why when upgrading or replacing a broken hardware, the range of available options is sharply limited. Otherwise, this system unit is perfectly balanced and is ideal for those who use the computer for work needs, and not for games.
The best mid-budget computers for the home
In this category, mid-range system units are selected with sufficient performance, approaching the capabilities of entry-level gaming PCs. With such a desktop computer, you can solve any task, including non-professional gaming without requiring ultra-high quality graphics.
5 HP M01-D0045ur
Country: USA (made in China)
Average price: 28560 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.5
Inexpensive mid-ranger for home or office with decent hardware on board: Intel Core i3-9100F processor with 4 cores of 3.6 GHz each, 4 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz RAM, upgradable up to 32 GB, 1 TB HDD and NVIDIA GeForce discrete graphics card GT 1030 with 2 GB of internal memory, so this system unit is quite suitable for rendering short videos, as well as for quietly running undemanding games.A bonus is a built-in Wi-Fi module, a card reader and a stylish case in dark colors with a patterned front panel, which houses four USB ports.
If you immediately add RAM, then this desktop PC can easily be attributed to the entry-level gaming segment, which indicates a good margin for a future upgrade. In reviews, the HP M01-D0045ur computer is praised for its excellent balance of components, a sufficient number of USB ports and Wi-Fi. Among the shortcomings, a weak power supply stands out, the power of which is only 180 watts.
4 RIWER Home 1987053
Country: Russia
Average price: 28980 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.6
A typical mid-budget and at the same time inexpensive home PC with a good balance of hardware used: it is based on a 4-core Intel Core i3-10100 processor with a clock speed of 3.6 GHz, which is complemented by a discrete graphics card NVIDIA GeForce GT 730 (2 GB of memory), 4 GB of "high-speed" DDR4 2666 MHz RAM and a set of disks - a 120 GB SSD for installing the OS and a 2 TB HDD for everything else. The result is a great option for home or office, providing an acceptable level of performance for a wide range of tasks: office software, working in graphic editors, watching 3D video and gaming without requests for a top image.
We also note a rich set of ports / connectors: three USB 3.0 (one on the front panel), six USB 2.0, one VGA, DVI-D, HDMI, RJ-45, and even a set of two outdated PS / 2, i.e. this desktop system unit will allow you to connect a lot of peripherals, and support for 7.1-channel sound will make it possible to build an excellent home theater.
3 HP 460-p215ur
Country: USA (made in China)
Average price: 36600 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.7
A fairly powerful desktop computer for the home, receiving good reviews from customers who praise the model for shipping with Windows 10 Home version preinstalled, which is very rare in this price segment. At the same time, the manufacturer managed to pack decent hardware into a nice case: a 4-core Intel Core i5-7400T 2.4 GHz CPU, 8 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz RAM, a 1 TB HDD and an AMD Radeon 520 video card with 2 GB of memory. The only weak point is the 180W power supply, which drastically limits upgrade options.
In general, the HP 460-p215ur system unit is flawless in office applications, it will allow you to work with graphics and even run not too demanding games of recent years, i.е. fully justifies its price and even throws a little on top in terms of performance. But it is worth remembering that any upgrade with an increase in the load on the power supply will require its mandatory replacement with something more powerful.
2 Profit77 PRO-1845080
Country: Russia
Average price: 36700 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.7
Pofit77 is famous for its ability to successfully select components for its PCs, guaranteeing their high reliability. In the mid-budget segment of ready-made system blocks, one of the best models is the PRO-1845080, which is based on a 2-core Intel Core i3-6100 3.7 GHz CPU and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER video card with 4 GB of video memory. The computer is supplemented with 4 GB of DDR4 RAM with a frequency of 2133 MHz, as well as a nimble 480 GB SSD drive and a “thrifty” 500-watt power supply, providing for great upgrade prospects.
Obviously, the processor in this assembly is rather weak and not designed for games.Rather, we have before us the optimal desktop PC for working at home, including graphics and video. We also note that the manufacturer is confident in the quality of its products and offers not only a two-year warranty for all components, but also three years of subsequent free service.
1 iRu Home 315MT
Country: Russia
Average price: 38700 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.8
An interesting desktop computer, the assembly of which uses a 6-core Intel Core i5-9400F processor with a clock frequency of 2.9 GHz. He was accompanied by 8 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz RAM and a discrete NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti video card with 4 GB of its own memory, which is very good for the house and will allow you to safely devote your free time to gaming leisure, launching even the latest novelties of recent years, albeit without high graphics settings .
This system unit comes without an OS on board, but this is a reasonable price for a very high level of performance against the background of excellent quality of components, i.e. The PC will confidently last three to four years and survive to upgrade with minimal risk of needing to contact the service. At the same time, the capabilities of this relatively inexpensive assembly are easily increased already at the time of purchase due to an additional RAM bar, the total amount of which can be increased up to 32 GB.
