While I was dreaming about the ASUS ROG Phone 7 Ultimate (it was not released today, but as a lover of flagships I still hope to see it in M.Video), I decided to turn to a more urgent subject and collect my top system units for gaming tasks. It is clear that it is cheaper and more custom, but sometimes it is not a sin to overpay for a ready-made “author’s” solution with a good case (such as, for example, MSI AEGIS Ti5) for games at maximum speed. I invite real PC-boyars to join the comments.

YAMBDA INFERNO L-GM1725-BK

Processor: Core i9-13900K
Video card: GeForce RTX 4090
RAM: 64 GB
1 TB SSD

My first reaction to this build is: what is there for 470k? The price is simply infernal. In LYAMBDA, there are several very similar top assemblies, which differ primarily in video cards and the appearance of the case. But video cards, as a rule, are very similar, so I will go straight to the main point. L-GM1725-BK is built on the basis of the latest generation processor – Intel Core i9-13900K, which has 24 cores operating at a frequency of 5.8 GHz. It is enough for anything. The video card here is the dream of any miner: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090, and perhaps there are currently no games that could give even the slightest drop in FPS with such introductions.

The RAM was not too high either – 64 GB with the possibility of expansion up to 128, so even the most complex neural networks can be run on this PC, and they will work smartly, producing voluminous results in seconds. All the necessary interfaces and adapters are built in, including Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, and the case itself, with a transparent wall and a cool backlight, definitely looks good for its price.

Important: the power supply in this machine is 1200 W, so a mains filter will come in handy to avoid overloads.

Lyambda Elisium L-GM1737-BK

Processor: Intel Core i7-13700KF (3.40GHz, 30Mb) Socket1700
Video card: Radeon RX 7900 XTX
RAM: 64 GB
SSD: 1 TB

This build costs 320K … Why so expensive for this balanced solution? Radeon RX 7900 XTX costs an average of 100-110 thousand rubles. The speed and smooth operation of all programs is ensured by 8 productive and 8 energy-efficient cores, which are able to work in a wide range of frequencies from 2.5 GHz, which are automatically increased using Turbo Boost technology to 5.4 GHz. The amount of cache memory is 30 MB (L2 level). The processor forms 24 streams. Performance is also increased due to the large amount of RAM GIGABYTE AORUS 64 GB with a frequency of DDR5 5.2 GHz.

A 1 TB SSD is used as a drive. For the graphic component, a GIGABYTE Radeon RX 7900 XTX GAMING OC 24G video card with 24 GB of memory and GDDR6 type is provided. High performance, visual effects and efficiency at 4K resolution and higher. The proprietary cooling system of the video card uses three fans of 100 mm each with an alternating type of rotation and the original profile of the impeller blades.

The GIGABYTE Z790 GAMING X AX motherboard belongs to the high-performance class. The set of built-in equipment includes high-speed Wi-Fi 6E AX210 160 MHz modules and Bluetooth 5.3 with a data transfer rate of up to 2.4 Gbit/s. The Realtek audio codec in the High Definition Audio format is used for sound accompaniment.

But this assembly is not good for one basic iron. The PC comes with Windows 11 installed. All this is supported by a stylish case with backlight and a transparent side cover, thanks to which the simple contemplation of your maximally quiet even with a heavy computer load turns into a pleasure.

For comparison: Atomic Heart, for example, on ultra graphics settings requires only 8 GB of RAM, a previous generation processor and an order of magnitude weaker video card.

Thunderobot Black Warrior V Shark 9

Processor: Core i9−13900K (24 cores and 32 threads)
Video card: GeForce RTX 4090
64 GB DDR5 + 1 TB SSD + 4 TB HDD

Wi-Fi 6E (read on Habri here).

New this year for almost 400k. I could say again that there are only thousands of iron for 300, but I will pay attention to the liquid cooling of the AIO, which removes heat from the processor and other components much more efficiently than copper tubes. A lower temperature ensures greater productivity and a significantly increased service life of the assembly, so that it (the assembly) will last for a long time. And the fresh and fairly demanding Star Wars Jedi: Survivor requires processors of the previous generation for maximum settings, and video cards of at least the previous generation.

Not everyone wants to spend significant amounts on top changes, comparable to the budget of a good old car “not broken and not painted”. So below are some more good options.

MSI MAG Codex X5 11TG-1473XRU

Processor: Core i7−11700KF
Video card: GeForce RTX 3060 Ti
RAM: 16 GB
SSD: 1 TB

The asking price is 135k. The processor of the previous, but still top generation, based on the Core i7 chipset confidently copes with tasks, and the inexpensive GeForce RTX 3060 Ti video card serves to display a stable, colorful picture with a large number of FPS. The latter, of course, is somewhat weaker than the RTX 4090 presented in the previous assembly, but it also shows excellent results in benchmark tests of hundreds of modern games. As usual in this kind of assembly, all adapters, ports, external connectors and internal sockets are included in the set, including also wireless modules of the latest generation of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. to cool all this goodness, the case has a unique heat removal system that prevents overheating even during long gaming sessions.

MUST MBM117

Processor: Intel Core i7 11700 °F 2.5
Video card: GeForce RTX 3070 Ti
RAM: 32 GB
2 TB SSD + 1 TB HDD

Good collection for 160K. The configuration based on one of the best processors – an Intel Core i7 11,700 °F with eight cores and a GeForce RTX 3070 Ti video card – pulls even Kerbal Space Program 2, which is terribly optimized, at maximum settings. The maximum assembly option is given here – as much as 32 GB of RAM, 2 TB of internal hard disk and 1 TB of SSD for ultra-fast launch of the OS and games, but if desired, any of the components can be replaced with a less expensive one. But it will not work to add additional wireless communication modules: they will have to be installed separately, as well as the operating system. Despite this, all the other advantages easily make the lack of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Windows into minor complications that are easily solved.

Thunderobot BW IV Max D

Processor: Intel Core i5 12400
Video card: GeForce RTX 3070 Ti
RAM: 16 GB
SSD: 1 TB

The processor of the Intel Core i5 generation does not become an obstacle for running games in maximum quality, despite the already existing i7 and i9, because the overall power of the PC is determined not only by the chipset. The GeForce RTX 3070 Ti video card performs very well even with poorly optimized games, and the Thunderobot BW IV Max D configuration pulls out Cyberpunk 2077 at maximum graphics settings of 50-60 FPS without any problems even without overclocking the video chip. RAM is optimal – 16 GB is enough for all new products, but if desired, the sockets in the motherboard allow you to add RAM up to 64 GB. Most of the necessary interfaces are already built into the case: for example, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi adapters do not need to be purchased additionally. The model comes with DOS, so you will have to install Windows or something from the Linux family yourself.

And finally, a table for comparing assemblies.
