Computer calculator of components. Online configurator (assembly) of the system unit with compatibility check

For those who want to purchase a PC, it will be very convenient to assemble a computer online. The idea is quite simple - online stores have all the components of a computer, that is, video cards, processors, and so on.

Therefore, you can take a specific model of one or another component, buy it and assemble it into a single computer. But the problem is that not all models of PC parts will work well in combination with each other.

For example, an Intel Core i3 processor will not always work normally with an AMD video card. And there are simply a huge number of such examples.

Therefore, some smart people decided to create services that would check the compatibility of various computer components. They collect data from other stores or are stores themselves and work only with their own products.

In any case, every ordinary user has the opportunity to select models of all the necessary computer components and see if they are compatible. After this, he can safely place an order in the same store or go to the nearest electronics supermarket and purchase the same components. Let's look at the most convenient and functional services for assembling a computer online.

compday.ru

compday.ru is an excellent online store selling computer equipment. The advantage of this site is that the range is very large. Equipment that is not available will not be able to participate in the comparison, and, accordingly, will not be able to become part of the future computer. But due to the fact that there are always so many products here, each user has an excellent opportunity to assemble a pretty good working machine online.

The process of using the compday.ru service is as follows:

1. First you need to go to the “future computer designer” page (here is the link).

2. Next we will see all the necessary spare parts, divided into categories - “System unit”, “Software” and “Peripherals”. Selecting each component is quite simple. For example, let's choose a processor model. To do this, in the corresponding section, click on the drop-down list, which initially contains three dashes. Again, for example, let's choose a fairly old but reliable Intel Core i3 processor. As you can see, processors are also divided into categories depending on the sockets. It’s also convenient that each available model has its price next to it.

Rice. 1. Choosing a processor on the website compday.ru

3. Now the selected processor will appear in the block on the right. The same should be done with the motherboard, RAM, video card, cooling system and other PC components. If you don't want to select a part, just leave three dashes there, that is, don't do anything. Gradually, the future machine will be assembled in the “Your Computer” block. Its cost will be written below. You can click on the “Order” button to have compday.ru specialists assemble a computer with the selected components.

Rice. 2. Assembled computer on the compday.ru designer page

If any selected components are incompatible, site specialists will notify you about this. In some cases, they do not advise choosing a particular set of components. In any case, the compday.ru website builder is very easy to use and simple, even novice users can understand it.

Each user can take a screenshot of the assembled computer or simply print out a selected set of components and go to the nearest electronics store. In addition, the same components can be purchased in other online stores. Now let's look at another constructor with a similar operation scheme.

edelws.ru

Another very good resource that has many recommended (ready-made) computer configurations. In addition to the ability to select PC parts, there is a display of the characteristics of the future machine. In particular, you can see the processing power, cooling efficiency and how well the computer can handle games. In general, it’s quite convenient and, again, simple.

To use the edelws.ru designer, do the following:

1. Go to the page of this service (here it is).

2. First, let's try to use the designer, and after that we'll look at how to use the “Recommended Configurations”. The “Indicators” tab at the top is responsible for the designer. Here, too, everything is divided into parts. For example, we will also start our choice with the processor. To add it, click on the corresponding button under the “Processor” label. A panel with available processors will appear on the right. There are categories at the top, which is also very convenient. We will also choose Intel core i3. To do this, next to the selected model you need to click the “select” button.

Rice. 3. Adding a processor on the edelws.ru designer page

3. After adding the processor, the added device page will appear on the screen. This makes it possible to read more detailed information about it.

Rice. 4. Information about the device when adding one on the website edelws.ru

Rice. 5. The process of assembling a computer using the edelws.ru constructor

5. And also as you add devices, information about all of them will be displayed on the designer page. When the computer is assembled, you can click on the “Assemble and Buy” button. Then edelws.ru specialists will assemble a PC for you and send it to the specified address.

6. In addition to manual collection, you can also use the “Recommended configurations” section. To do this, go to the corresponding tab at the top of the designer page. A list of available configurations will appear in the drop-down list. You can click on one of them.

The main indicator for choosing in this case is the price of the computer. After clicking on a configuration, a list of devices included in it will appear. Any of them can be changed by clicking on the corresponding button under the device. If desired, you can also reset the configuration or save it (there are also buttons for this).

It is also interesting that the site edelws.ru allows you to build a computer “for a game,” and for a specific one, for example, World of Tanks or GTA 5. There are also graphic stations and PCs for work. All this is possible using the appropriate tabs at the top of the site window.

Rice. 8. Ready-made computers from the site edelws.ru

In general, we have before us a really well-developed designer.

ironbook.ru

ironbook.ru is a fairly popular and well-promoted online store for computer equipment. It is worth saying that there is now an interesting trend according to which an average site selling computer components can become really cool if it adds a PC designer page. In general, this secret was used by the employees of the site ironbook.ru.

The store’s assortment is also quite wide, so there is plenty to choose from and build a really high-quality computer. Let's move on directly to using the constructor. To do this you need to do this:

1. Go to the ru designer page (here it is).
2. Then the principle of operation is the same - there are components, such as a processor, cooling, and so on, and all this needs to be selected. To do this, under each of them there is a “Select component” button. After making your selection, you can click on the “Replace” or “Delete” buttons.
3. After all components have been added, you can click on the “Assemble” button on the right. This will result in your order being sent to the ru store and, in the shortest possible time, specialists will assemble the selected computer and send it to you.

Rice. 9. Designer page ironbook.ru

It is useful that this site also has ready-made configurations. They can be seen in the block on the left. There you can find a PC for work, a gaming PC and many other options. You can choose the one that suits you most.

In addition, there are three more links under the Collect button. The first of them allows you to print the assembled configuration. With this material, you can also go to the nearest store and buy all the selected equipment there.

The second allows you to find out what the specialists of the site ironbook.ru think about the computer you have assembled. In some cases, they may advise you to take a ready-made configuration, and in others, they may say that your PC is quite suitable for the stated tasks.

meijin.ru

Finally, let's look at another great configurator that allows you to take a ready-made project and make your own computer out of it, or build a PC from scratch. It’s very good that on this site you can immediately choose what you need a computer for and determine its cost. There are corresponding fields at the top of the site window for this. The cost can also be set using a slightly lower scale. When these parameters are specified, all you have to do is click on the “Find” button.

Rice. 10. Header of the meijin.ru configurator page

After that, the available options will be presented on the above scale. They are indicated by vertical lines. By moving the slider to each such line, you will be able to see the proposed configuration. Below are the devices included in it. If you click on the “Change” button next to a particular computer component, you can change it to another. Moreover, all devices are divided into categories - “Computer Configuration”, “Software” and “Peripheral Devices”. They are presented in the corresponding tabs of the designer.

Rice. 12. Selecting devices on the meijin.ru designer page

In this case, the assembled configuration can also only be printed out as a list or a screenshot. There are no built-in functions for all this on the site. But even without this, the meijin.ru designer looks quite efficient and effective. The range here is also quite wide and will please the eye of even the most experienced users.

How to assemble a computer online? Online computer configurator

Assembling a computer online yourself is quite simple. You just need to find an online store that has an online computer configurator that checks the compatibility of components. There are no hints in such configurators; they only hide components from the list that are incompatible with the already selected configuration. There are several fields to fill out, in which the main components of the system unit are selected, ensuring the full functionality of the computer.

The first step is to determine exactly the tasks for which your future system unit will be used. If you plan to purchase gaming equipment, then special attention should be paid to the video card, and for a graphics workstation, the processor power and the amount of RAM play a fundamental role. The least demanding in terms of performance are office systems. You don't even need to add an external video card, because the built-in one will be enough. First you need to select a processor. This element affects the overall performance of the entire system, and the more cores there are (and the higher their operating frequency), the faster operations will be performed.

Next, the PC configurator will help you select a motherboard. It must be compatible with the CPU and support RAM of the required frequency. Pay attention to the presence of all the necessary slots and connectors, as well as the size of the motherboard itself (ATX, micro ATX, mini ATX, etc.). Usually, any of them already has a built-in network and sound card. The online store website builder will automatically select suitable options after you select a processor, and will exclude those that are not suitable. A gaming computer must be equipped with an external video card. If you want to regularly play modern games and forget about upgrading your system for a long time, then you shouldn’t save. This also applies to the amount of RAM; it will not particularly affect the cost of the PC, but will significantly affect performance. The volume of the hard drive determines the amount of information that you can simultaneously store on your computer. But to increase system performance, it is recommended to additionally install an SSD drive. It will contain the OS, programs and applications.

For convenient work with external storage media, the system unit is optionally equipped with an optical drive and a card reader. One of the important elements of the system unit is the power supply. Its power should be selected after calculating the total amount of electricity consumption by the components. In addition, leave a reserve of 100-200 W for reliable operation under increased loads on the processor and video card. The designer will not let you make a mistake when choosing a power supply, as he will take into account the components you have chosen and will provide only suitable cases with power supplies.

The configuration of a powerful gaming computer includes an additional cooling system, which is selected automatically, depending on the selected processor. All that remains is to assemble everything into the case. It can be very simple and straightforward if you plan to install the system unit under the table, where no one will see it, or it can have neon lighting and a window on the side that allows you to observe the operation of the system (gaming options). This is a matter of taste, but keep in mind that the case for a gaming PC should be spacious and have good ventilation so that the components do not overheat at peak loads.

Having difficulties?

For the convenience of clients, it is possible to send the resulting configuration for printing. And if difficulties arise, then you should use the help of our engineer, who will tell you which components are best to use to obtain optimal technical characteristics.
By deciding to build a computer with us, you get the best prices and service. We guarantee fast but careful delivery of your system unit.

Advanced online service “Computer Configurator”

The Arsenal+ company has been working in the production and sale of IT solutions for 25 years. Computers and PC components have always been a priority for the company, and that is why we have created and implemented one of the best services of its kind - “Computer Configurator”. This service is a designer for selecting and further assembling a system unit from components to create a computer according to individual parameters.

Using the configurator, you can order a computer with assembly service, components or PC peripherals separately, as well as create and save a specification for placing an order in the future. This specification can be printed or emailed, from which you can conveniently purchase a ready-to-build PC with just one click.

Description of the service

The convenience of services, as a rule, is a subjective matter, but we believe that the “Computer Configurator” is primarily convenient because all groups of components, as well as computer peripherals and software, are located in one place. Thus, to purchase, it is not necessary to search and select each product in the catalog separately - everything you need is in one window. For maximum convenience and comfort of our clients, the service has automatic checking of components for compatibility - if any component is not compatible with another, the configurator will definitely notify you about this. In addition, the configurator contains tips and recommendations with detailed articles that tell you what you need to pay attention to when choosing a particular component.

The service is also equipped with unique additional functionality - "Specification Management", with which you can create new specifications, view already created ones, rename them, move them to the “Archive” and load specifications into the configurator for further modification. The additional service “Specification Management” is convenient and useful when creating multiple computer specifications for different needs. This functionality will be convenient primarily for corporate clients, in particular, system administrators who daily have to select components and computer equipment to successfully solve their business problems.

Computer assembly technology

Over the years, the Arsenal+ company has gained extensive experience in assembling computers, servers, laptops and all-in-one PCs. The primary task of producing the above-mentioned computer equipment is the quality of the goods produced for our customers, therefore, for the assembly of PCs, monoblocks and laptops, components only from reliable manufacturers are selected. Before assembly begins, components are checked for full compatibility for subsequent launch into production. Currently, computers, all-in-one PCs and laptops from the Arsenal+ company are produced under the brand name "SKAT", which are certified according to the standard TR TS(Customs Union Certificate) and have GOST R ISO 9001-2011.

In serially assembled computers (ready-made solutions) “SKAT” you cannot change the configuration!

But in the case when SKAT computers are not suitable for the user in terms of technical parameters, you can use the online configurator, which will help create the necessary configuration according to individual parameters. After selecting components and peripherals in the configurator and placing an order, engineers from the assembly production department will immediately begin assembling the computer. At this stage, compatibility is checked and components are tested, as well as the preparation of the necessary software, system disks, firmware and drivers for their further installation on the computer.

Computer testing

During computer assembly, assembly engineers check all components for functionality, after which they test the devices, and in particular, all components. Testing is carried out with the housing completely closed, i.e. in conditions as close to reality as possible.

First of all, an update to the latest version and basic BIOS setup are performed. If you choose the computer assembly service, then updating to the latest BIOS version is FREE, and you do not need to choose a BIOS update service!

Next, drivers for all components are installed, and it is checked whether they are installed correctly. The computer’s video card is tested in a graphics benchmark at least three times in a row to identify “artifacts.” If no “artifacts” are identified, then the RAM is tested several times in the MemTest+ program. After which, the discrete video adapter is tested on the computer for the second time in a graphics benchmark, only for a longer period.

If a discrete video card for a computer is not included in the assembly, the graphics adapter built into the processor is tested in the OpenSourceMark program. Also, the operating system is being deployed in “Windows Deployment Services”. This, in turn, is a simultaneous check of the central processor, motherboard, hard drive and RAM. At the end, additional devices are checked and tested if they were selected in the configurator: CD/DVD/BD drive, by reading and writing the corresponding disk, FDD drive, reading the corresponding floppy disk, external USB panels, by connecting I/O devices, as well as TV tuner by connecting an antenna and tuning channels. In addition, during testing, the software you selected when configuring your computer is installed - the operating system Microsoft Windows, antivirus software and/or office suite Microsoft Office.

If a defect is detected during testing, assembly production engineers replace the component with the same one. On average, computer testing is carried out within 24 hours - it all depends on the selected components, and the total time for assembling and testing a PC is at least two days.

Completing the computer assembly phase

After assembling and testing the computer, the components are sealed. The seals are glued taking into account “vibrations” with a small margin on the bend, i.e. When the computer is running, the seals will not come off or break. The computer case is not sealed, so in the future, if desired, you can complete the system with an additional video card, RAM, hard drive or SSD drive, if there is room for them in the motherboard and case you have chosen. The warranty on the assembled computer is 3 years, and it does not matter what warranty the manufacturer has established for this or that component - we provide a general warranty on the computer, including all components, if the PC was assembled by Arsenal+ assembly production engineers. Well, in the end, the computer, as well as all the peripherals selected in the configurator, are packaged and transferred to the delivery service, which delivers the device completely ready for use to the user.

Are you planning to get a new computer? You have 2 ways - buy ready-made or assemble it yourself. The advantages of the first way are obvious: bring it, connect it and use it. No extra hassle. Convenient, but... if you decide to do this, you will most likely overpay. And inside the sealed system unit there may not be what you expected. For example, cheap “noname” hardware sold to you at a High End price, or a slightly adjusted defect that, at best, will fail before the warranty period expires. And at worst - immediately after its completion.

Assembling a computer from separate components is a troublesome, but smarter way. Firstly, such a purchase is 10-25% cheaper. Secondly, you will know exactly what your iron “pet” is made of. And thirdly, you can handle this on your own, even if you have no idea about the compatibility of the parts. Online configurator services will come to your aid, and this article will teach you how to use them.

Before starting assembly, check for yourself:

• What tasks will the new PC be used for?
• What budget do you have?

The most economical option is office class computer. The range of tasks for which it is intended is small. This includes working in undemanding applications, the Internet, listening to music, watching videos on YouTube, and simple games. Such a machine (turnkey kit) will cost approximately 15-25 thousand rubles. It usually includes:

• Inexpensive motherboard.
• An inexpensive processor, like an Intel Celeron with a built-in graphics core, so you can save on a video card. Or plus a budget video card.
• Box cooler.
• Hard disk drive (HDD).
• 2-4 GB of RAM.
• Case with built-in power supply, peripherals.

Mid-budget option - multimedia PC. These are most often purchased for the home. Multimedia computers are used for a variety of tasks, excluding heavy games and particularly resource-intensive applications. The cost of assembly is 30-60 thousand rubles. As a rule, it contains:

• A motherboard based on a modern chipset with a large set of slots and USB (optimally with support for USB 3.1).
• Modern Intel Core i3-i7 processor or AMD equivalent.
• Cooling system (processor cooler + 1-2 case fans).
• Multimedia or gaming class video card.
• SSD+HDD (the first is for the operating system, the second is for data storage)
• 8-16 GB of RAM.
• Power supply 500-650 W.
• Multimedia monitor.
• Housing, peripherals, expansion boards.

Expensive option - gaming pc. The price of a computer for gaming on average starts from 60,000 rubles, the upper threshold is not indicated. Assembly usually includes:

• Gaming motherboard.
• Modern Intel Core i5-i7 processor or AMD equivalent.
• Productive cooling system of air or water type.
• 1-2 gaming video cards.
• A discrete sound card (if the built-in audio sounds good, you don’t have to buy it).
• SSD+HDD.
• From 16 GB of RAM.
• Power supply from 550 W and more powerful.
• 1 or more gaming monitors.
• Case, gaming keyboard, mouse and other accessories.

Let us separately highlight servers and specialized computers, for example, for video editing, mining, etc. Their price can be anything, but it is usually quite high. The composition of the configuration is determined by its purpose.

How to allocate a budget when purchasing components

Start building the assembly of your future computer with the key and most expensive part. This is, as a rule, a processor, and when buying a gaming PC - a processor + video card combination. And sometimes - a monitor.

Secondly, we select:

• Motherboard.
• Cooler.
• Power unit. We determine the required power after selecting the remaining components, but we allocate funds in advance, since it is impossible to save on the power supply.

The third line is where you can save money. Of course, savings should in no way affect the quality of the devices. This category includes parts that you can postpone the purchase of if you don't have enough money. Or buy in smaller quantities than planned.

• RAM. If you can’t buy everything at once, you can get by with one module for a while.
• HDD.
• Expansion cards (sound card, TV tuner, DVD/Blu-ray drive, etc., optional for PC operation).
• Periphery. If you don’t have enough money for expensive gaming devices, you can use regular ones for a while. This is better than cutting the budget for a video card or power supply.
• Frame. The cost of system unit cases does not always reflect their quality. Some manufacturers increase prices only for decoration - lighting, unusual shapes, etc. If decoration is not the main thing for you, feel free to buy a case with a regular design. The main thing is that it is roomy (especially important for long video cards and tall tower coolers), with a convenient location of the compartments (the power supply is at the bottom, the disk shelves are across, there is a compartment for cables), as well as with an ergonomic placement of buttons and connectors on the "muzzle".

Assembling a computer using the online DNS store configurator

Let's figure out how to use the online configurator using the computer store DNS service as an example. The choice fell on it, since it has a device compatibility check and everything else is very simple and clear. For example, let’s assemble a gaming system unit with a minimum configuration.

Let's start with choosing a processor. To do this, go to the service page and click the “Add” button in the first line.

The left column of the next page contains the characteristics of the CPU, and the right column lists the products from the store’s assortment. We select an Intel brand processor with a free multiplier (for overclocking). After we noted the parameters of interest, the service automatically found suitable models. Having selected one of them - Intel Core i5-6600K without a cooler, click “Included”.

• For a gaming computer.
• GPU manufacturer - NVIDIA.
• GPU model - GeForce GTX 1080.
• Memory capacity - 8 GB.

They may be different for you. In general, when choosing components for a gaming PC, focus on the system requirements of the most resource-intensive game you are going to play on it. Then you can't go wrong.

Our choice fell on the GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1080 WINDFORCE OC. We add it to the kit and move on to selecting the motherboard.

In order for the service to display only those motherboards that are suitable for the selected processor, at the top of the filter table (characteristics) we put the “Compatible” label.

From the rest we noted:

• For a gaming computer.
• Form factor - ATX (full-size).
• Based on the Intel Z270 chipset.
• With USB 3.1 type A and C ports.

Next to the name of each product there is a short list of its characteristics. To open the full description, just click on the catalog line.

The kit included the Gigabyte GA-Z270-Gaming K3 board.

We noted:

• Tower type.
• Copper base.
• 4-pin connection connector.

The choice fell on DEEPCOOL GAMMAXX 200T.

The next components are RAM and SSD. Let's take 2 Kingston HyperX FURY Red 16 GB sticks and a 512 GB Plextor M8SeY solid-state drive.

Finally, let's select a power supply. The total power consumption of our assembly is 352 W (to find out, click on the button shown in the screenshot at the top of the page).

It is advisable that the rated power of the power supply exceed this value by at least 25-30%. We got almost 2 times more, and that's not bad.

There are no compatibility issues with our build. When they are, the first button on the panel (with puzzles) turns red. The hardware is optimally selected, the only thing missing is the system unit case. But we will buy it sometime later, since the price of all this stuff was as much as 124,993 rubles.

You can save your build in your personal account on the DNS website (registration is required) and, if you want, make a purchase there. But we do not advise you to do this right away, since similar configurator services are also available in other stores, where prices may be lower, the assortment may be richer, and delivery times may be shorter. Let's get to know them.
