Hi all! Assemblies on socket 775 continue to be in demand today, although many no longer believe in it. In fact, there is demand and it is great. One of the main reasons why it is in demand is its low cost and functionality. How much money do you need to spend for such a build now? Let’s make a selection, calculate costs and ways to reduce them.

We will calculate the amounts based on various sources. We won’t be able to find all of the new components. Therefore, in addition to helping us: “Avito”, “Yula”, “AliExpress” and other resources. I warn you, there will be a lot of widgets from Yandex Market to show prices for new components. I don’t advertise anything specific, I show examples with current prices. Everyone chooses and buys what they want. A nice bonus for the author for his efforts, a modest amount from monetization. Go!
First you need to decide what will be included in the package:
- frame;
- motherboard;
- CPU;
- CPU cooling cooler;
- RAM;
- video card;
- power unit;
- SSD and HDD drives;
- additional fan on the case wall
- cables
Frame. There is any choice here; if you want a fresh and modern case, you can buy it in the store. Or buy used. sites, price 200-500 rubles. It is better to buy something that is not expensive, since there is no point in buying expensive cases for assembly on the 775 socket.
Motherboard. We select with the Intel 4 series chipset, which includes: X48, Q43, B43, Q45, P43, P45, G41, G43, G45. These chipsets support almost the entire line of processors for the 775 socket. The board must support DDR3 RAM; I do not recommend using DDR2. At used prices. In the market you can find such boards from 500 to 2000 rubles. It is more profitable to purchase a used motherboard. There are also offers for the sale of new ones, prices according to Yandex Market are attached.
CPU. Are looking forfour cores with the highest frequency. You can choose something from Intel Core 2 Quad, for example: Q9550, or a little simpler and cheaper. You can install Xeon server processors, for example: E5450. You can choose something else, a little cheaper, there is a choice. There is an article on the channel: “ The most popular processors for “upgrading” the 775 socket ,” read it if you are interested. The average price is 1000-1500 rubles, you can find it cheaper on a used one. market.
CPU cooling cooler. We select an inexpensive tower type or box type with a copper core. Used The market can be purchased at a price of 50-250 rubles. At new prices, according to Yandex Market.
RAM. Depends on the motherboard, count on at least 8 GB. Average price for used market for a 4 GB stick. 1333 MHz – 1000 rubles. Buying new ones will be a little more expensive, but there will be a store guarantee.
Video card. The ideal would be something on the level of an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti at 2 Gb. It’s better to bet on a dubious investment. There is a suspicion that the processor will not reveal the full potential of the video card. Average price for used market from 3000 rubles, new ones are correspondingly more expensive. You can install a GTX 950 2 gb., the price will be more expensive from 4000 rubles and above.

Power unit. Consider 450-500 W, it will be enough. With used power supplies. There is usually a shortage on the market, it’s hard to buy something normal. It might be worth considering buying a new one. It is better to take the purchase of a power supply seriously, since if it malfunctions there may be negative consequences. A malfunction can “pull along” other components. Boo. can be purchased for around 500-1000 rubles, and new ones from 2000 rubles. I attach prices according to Yandex Market.

SSD and HDD drives. SSD disk from 120 GB. and above will be enough, we take it for the system and the necessary applications. For large files, a regular HDD is suitable, for example, take 120 GB. An SSD disk can be purchased for 1000-1500 rubles, HDD for 1 tr. used – 1000-2000 rubles. For new, according to Yandex Market prices. If you buy used. disks, check with all available methods for errors and weak sectors. I do not recommend purchasing a disc with the slightest deviation, since it is a consumable item that has a certain service life.
Fan in case, cables. We buy all these additional accessories at any computer store. A fan on the wall of the case – 250 rubles, we install it to blow out warm air. The cables you need are: power supply for the system unit, sata for disks, HDMI or VGA for outputting images to the monitor.

That’s the whole assembly, don’t forget about thermal paste. The average price will be 10,000-15,000 rubles with a large percentage of new components . If everything is new, the price tag is even higher. Everything will depend on the components that you can find. The cheaper the better. You can collect less than 10,000 rubles , but you have to look, and everything will be used. A good way to save money is to buy used ones on sites. a ready-made assembly, but with a weaker package. Just then buy what’s missing and replace it. On average, for 5,000 rubles, you can find something. This assembly can satisfy all your wishes for a long time. Of course, if you are an avid gamer, then this is not for you, but for the average user it is a good option, with a small investment. The price range is wide, depending on your needs, but I tried to convey the main idea. Thank you all for your attention.
