May was very interesting for all kinds of new items. At the end of the month, I settled in a test lab, but in short time provided you, dear readers, detailed reports about all the hottest computer hardware. First we met with the GeForce GTX 1080 is the fastest gaming graphics card market of today. In the first part of the review, I considered the architectural features of Pascal, as well as examined the performance of a reference sample. He’s a Founders Edition. In the second part, I sped up the video card to a stable clock, then compare the novelty with overclocknet GeForce GTX 980 Ti and Radeon R9 X in 20 games, including DirectX 12. Then came the turn of the first Board 10-core Intel — Core i7-6950X. Finally, on 10 June, the market came the GeForce GTX 1070, which at the price of 390-450 USD is in some cases faster GeForce GTX 980 Ti. If anyone missed these reviews, then, as they say, you are welcome to read them.
The June “Computer of the month” turned out to some extent unusual. Almost all the assemblies observed nedokomplekt. Yes, the GeForce GTX and GeForce GTX 1070 1080 went on sale, but due to the shortage (and the natural greed of some sellers) are still too expensive. I suggest to wait a bit. Another month or two, and prices on cards will decline at least to the recommended NVIDIA performance. Besides, in July in sale Radeon RX 480. I too look forward to. If all said at the presentation confirmed that gamers will receive a card with the performance of the GeForce GTX 970/980, but for around $ 200-250.
By the way, what processor is suitable for GeForce GTX 1070/1080, you can learn in this article.

Starting Assembly — the only system that evolved for the month. Has not changed. Despite the announcements of new graphics cards, major price shifts in the decrease in the segment of Low-end is not happening. On the contrary! According to “Yandex.Market, the GeForce GTX 750 Ti in the allotted 31 days, only more expensive. In the end I had to put in the build Radeon R7 360. However, such adapter is quite enough to play GTA V on medium settings in Full HD resolution. This option is certainly better built-in graphics processor.
In the end, it only remains to determine the platform, namely to decide what to choose: two very quick core Intel or eight slow “heads” AMD. In both cases, used the most cheap matplot. Therefore, in the Assembly I added only one bar of memory 8 GB. Yes, the “RAM” will not work in dual channel mode (in most cases — is not critical), but over time you without any problem extend RAM capacity to 16 GB.
By the way, do not worry that the boards on the AMD 760G chipset has no SATA 3.0. ASUS M5A78L-M LX3 and that such decisions are only SATA II. The experiment showed that the need for such a system safely buy and SSD.

In the basic Assembly from AMD take the top “stone” FX-8350. If you are going to overclock the chip, then it makes sense to buy the cheapest 8-core, because all the chips for the platform AM3+ with an unlocked multiplier. This FX-8320E (8000 RUB). I have several times talked about it, but once again: take more Dora the processor — FX-8370 and something of the line FX-9000 — makes no sense.
In General, base Assembly over the past month has not changed. While taking the platform without a video card, and then wait for the specifics about the Radeon RX GeForce GTX 480 and 1060. But if you’re aching for, then look toward the 4-Gigabyte versions of the GeForce GTX 960 and Radeon R9 380.

I note that amid the release of GeForce GTX GeForce GTX 1070 and 1080, as well as the imminent announcement of the Radeon RX 480 a few cheaper adapters GeForce GTX 970, GeForce GTX 980 and GeForce GTX 980 Ti. Now you can rent them for 22 000, 33 000 and 43 000 respectively. Perhaps anyone would be interested in such proposals. Personally, I would wait a bit.
With the AMD platform is all clear. Use all the same CPU FX-8350, but at the expense of more effective cooler driven by it at least to 4.5 GHz. For this lesson you selected the appropriate motherboard.
But the Intel build has issues. So, I gave examples of boards on chipsets Z170 B150 Express and Express. Led by chance. Specifically, these motherboards Core i5-6600 chasing to 4-4,5 GHz. Detailed description of the process and analysis of all the pitfalls you will find in this article. For this step I went especially. Now came the GeForce GTX 1080. A very powerful card, but the processor and it needed an appropriate. But after a couple years will the adapter that will be 50-70% faster. And it will need more powerful CPU. In the case of the overclocked Core i5 bottleneck can be avoided. I hope that will be possible.
Option savings: immediately take the Core i5-6400 and “blew up” it to at least 4 GHz.

Refuse platform AM3+ in an advanced build. Enough, waiting for Zen. Still chips the FX-8000/9000, albeit dispersed, but weak for GeForce GTX 1070. Consider it a teaser for the next issue of the “Iron experiment”. Besides, any “stone” AMD is absolutely not a competitor to the Core i7-6700.
Board for Intel processor is also selected based on the acceleration of the bus. There needs Express chipset Z170. You can take a simpler solution: for example, Z170A MSI PC MATE (8500 RUB.). I just did not want to deprive the Assembly of over 100 000 high-quality network and sound chips.
That is logical, and in the case of advanced Assembly, waiting for the sale placer monitored by PWM versions of the GeForce GTX 1070. Then choose the most suitable model and enjoy life. The chain is simple and logical.
Extreme build is ~150 000 rubles
Build cost ~150 000 will allow the user to play modern computer games up to a resolution of 2160p. In GAMING you can treat yourself with the highest quality graphics. Ultra HD will have to choose the parameters, as the load on the graphics subsystem increases drastically.

Until this month for the extreme build I always suggest Intel Core i7-5820K. Besides Intel for the platform LGA2011-v3 just released Broadwell chips. unfortunately, the prices of new “rocks” it is not encouraging. For example, the six-core Core i7-6800K and Core i7-6850K are significantly more expensive Core i7-5820K, but it does not propose a radical increase in performance. OCTA core chip still costs under 1000 “green”, although I was hoping for a more humane price tag of $ 700-800 us presidents. And, more precisely, resource-intensive tasks, the platform LGA2011-v3 looks better. If you need six or more powerful cores, focus on chips Haswell-E and Broadwell-E. In all other cases it is sufficient Core i7-6700K and the LGA1151 platform.
