Cheap Gaming Computer Shopping Guide | February 1400

If you are looking to buy a computer with a limited budget that can be used efficiently in daily work, stay tuned to Zumji with a low-end PC shopping guide in February.

Buying the right computer parts and hardware is always one of the concerns of users in the traditional Iranian market, where information is not provided in a desirable way and usually the price of the piece alone is considered the first and perhaps the only criterion for buying. Different prices and even simulated parts from the original contribute to this unfavorable situation and many users are caught buying fake, low quality or incompatible parts.

In this series of articles, we try to introduce the latest personal computer hardware products and offer the most suitable ones according to the price and sales category of the market in accordance with the global standard, as well as their presence in the domestic market. We encourage all users and audiences to carefully read and scan this guide before going to the market or online sales sites so that they can act consciously on their application and budget. In this series of articles, we will introduce four different systems of PC systems with common functions and explain how to select components. Note that prices are calculated based on the current market rate of the Computer Equipment Exchange in Tehran and are for information purposes only.

You can not expect much from this system, if you want new games with normal or low settings or old games with high frames, watching high quality movies, surfing the Internet, working by email or editing and working with documents, this system can be your need. Meet. Of course, some of these demands can be met by buying a mid-range tablet or mobile phone, but it certainly will not have the flexibility and ability to run a lot of different software like this:

AMD Ryzen 5 5600G and AMD Ryzen 7 5700G processors are good new choices for gaming in 1080p resolution with medium settings and have very fast integrated graphics. Their gaming efficiency is sometimes higher than the combination of the Core i3 10100 with the GT1030 graphics card, but at the same time they are much more expensive. With the availability of some items from Intel’s tenth generation platform, such as the Core i3-10100 processor, we have placed them in this budget category for an alternative system. For a separate graphics card, we also considered the GT1030 as an option with similar performance or higher than selected AMD APUs.

Warning: Given the current situation, it is recommended to research the options and determine the list of required items, considering the current prices, before going to the computer market and buying.

The Ryzen 3 3200G and Ryzen 5 3400G processors with integrated RX VEGA graphics were on the market until recently, and the Ryzen 3 Pro 4350G and Ryzen 5 Pro 4650G models are now available. Given the good ability of these APUs to run new games of average quality and efficiency, we replaced them with the A8-7650K in the list of the main proposed system. This replacement, of course, is accompanied by a price increase, which is valuable compared to the efficiency achieved in games. An OEM processor called the Ryzen 5 PRO 3350G has also joined the ranks of options with integrated graphics.

Intel’s ninth-generation Core i3-9100F and tenth-generation Core i3-10100F processors are also much more efficient than the seventh generation, but due to the lack of powerful integrated graphics, they are not the main choice for our limited budget here, and if they are, they should be. Sync with a low-end graphics card like the GT1030 or higher. The low-end Ryzen 3 series low-end processors will not stand a chance of competing with Intel’s low-end processors due to the lack of an integrated graphics unit.

We also increased the memory of the original selected model to 16 GB (two 8 GB modules). By selecting memory modules with a frequency higher than 2400 MHz, we can upgrade both the processing efficiency and the graphics efficiency of the Raizen series of processors to a higher level. Increasing the capacity, in addition to smoother operation, will also increase the relative Ryzen integrated graphics frame, as the system RAM will work in dual-channel mode and will have higher bandwidth, and since the integrated graphics unit will also use the system’s main RAM as memory. Graphics benefit, the higher the memory frequency and bandwidth, the higher the chance of getting higher frames, especially at 1080p and higher resolutions.

The question many friends have been asking in recent months about choosing Intel’s Pentium or Core i3 processors instead of the OUI APUs. Although Intel-like processors have much faster processing speeds, they are still lagging behind graphically, and at least in this category they are not the best choice for our compact system and budget. But if you are planning to upgrade this system in the future, having an Intel platform with socket 1151 or socket 1200 is also a good choice.

CPU, motherboard and low-end system RAM

In the elementary systems category, the best available APUs are made by Imedi. APUs were first introduced in 2 years by Oymedi, and their purpose was to introduce a low-cost solution to meet the processing and graphics needs on a single chip; The chip was used a few years later on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles with some modifications. Selected Zomji processor here from the architecture Zen 3 With 6 physical cores and 4.4 GHz turbo operating frequency and integrated graphics, it uses the new generation Radeon RX Vega 7. The graphics unit of this processor is set to 1900 MHz and its CPU consumption power or TDP is set at 65 watts.

AMD Ryzen 5 5600G processor with integrated graphics suitable for light games

The advantage of this class of processors is not in their raw processing speed, but in the power of the integrated graphics chip, which is much higher than the graphics of its Intel all-in-one processors. Of course, it is difficult to interpret the graphics power at this level suitable for all PC games, but because the selection of components in this price range is based on onboard graphics or integrated in the processor and without the use of a separate graphics card, choose a processor whose integrated graphics Stronger than similar models, it is an arrow that can be aimed at two targets. Using two 4GB RAM modules is the least possible recommendation for using in today’s operating systems and running one or two applications at the same time, but considering the price difference between 8GB and 16GB kits, it is cheaper to buy 16GB dual kits. Regarding the operating frequency of the selected RAM, it is better to remember that if faster modules are used, the integrated graphics efficiency will be even higher, and this is one of the good features of G-Series consultant processors.

CPU benchmark and low-end computer graphics card

Here you can compare the linear and multi-threaded efficiency of the selected processor of this budget category with the efficiency of some famous processors of different generations to get a general idea of ​​the power of this processor. It is reminded that the efficiency of these processors in the game may have different ratios, and to see their efficiency in new games, it is better to refer to the articles on reviewing the efficiency of games in Zomji or click on the cover of each of the games below.

Cheap Gaming Cards for PC

Obviously, for a system that is not set with game goals and graphics programs, not much can be said in this section, but the same low-end system can be made more powerful by adding a separate graphics card for low-setting games or graphic editing programs such as Photoshop.

But the GTX 1650 low-end graphics card, depending on the game, offers about 10 to 20% higher performance than the previous generation GTX 1050 Ti and can be a good choice for new games at 1080p resolution and minimal frame rate ٣٠ Frame per second. Among AMD graphics cards, both the RX 560 are still a good choice, with the increase in working hours and the increase in graphics memory capacity to four gigabytes. The RX 570 is also in this budget category and is a great choice at a slightly higher cost.

Cheap gaming system display

For the selected system in this section, buying a monitor with dimensions of 2 to 4 inches meets the daily needs and at the same time is compatible with the graphic power of the system. These models have resolutions of 1600 by ٩٠٠ pixels or 1920 by 1080 pixels. Model ASUS VS197DH An inexpensive 8-inch monitor, MSI PRO MP221 A 22-inch with normal resolution, 22-inch display SAMSUNG S22F355 and SAMSUNG S22A330 They are also among the available options.

Alternative system

This system is recommended if you do not have access to the original component mix or prioritize future component upgrades. The advantage of this system is the much higher efficiency of the processor and graphics card. This combination will also be upgradeable to the fastest eighth and ninth generation processors.

SSD

In this price range, we use SSD models with SATA standard, in addition to cost savings, to achieve the best efficiency in the operation of the operating system compared to mechanical hard drives, and the system response time is significantly increased. Below you can see the comparison of the difference between the speed of SSD and HDD storage in loading games:
