Conclusion
Overall "gaming" build without discrete graphicsbased on the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 3200G processor (from "Computer of the Month") and Intel Core i3-10100F (on AliExpress), depending on the exchange rate, it turned out to be 2,500 rubles more expensive or 1,500 rubles cheaper (at the QiWi rate) when ordering from China: 37,500 rubles against 40,000 (36,000) rubles.
AMD Ryzen 3 1200 Starter Buildeither Intel Core i3-10105F (from "Computer of the Month"), AMD Ryzen 5 5500 or Intel Core i3-12100F (from AliExpress) with the QiWi course came out cheaper. The difference was 5,000 rubles with AMD and 8,000 rubles with Intel.
With the base assembly, the situation is similar.A configuration with AliExpress based on AMD Ryzen 5 5600X or Intel Core i5-12400F came out cheaper at the QiWi rate than assemblies with components from Russia based on AMD Ryzen 5 3600 or Intel Core i3-12100F. You will save 7,500 rubles when buying an assembly with AMD and 4,500 rubles when ordering an assembly with Intel.
Difference between optimal configurations with AMDRyzen 5 5600X or Intel Core i5-12400F, (“Computer of the Month”), AMD Ryzen 7 5800X or Intel Core i5-12600K (AliExpress) with a QiWi rate less when ordering from China, and without accessing this rate – when purchasing in Russian stores. A kit with AMD will cost 120,000 rubles in Russia, and in China – 128,000 rubles or 115,000 rubles (however, the price on AliExpress does not include customs duties), with Intel – 119,500 rubles and 130,500/117,000 rubles, respectively.
Similar results are obtained when comparingadvanced kits from China and Russia. The domestic build option involves purchasing an AMD Ryzen 7 5800X or Intel Core i5-12600K processor, Chinese – AMD Ryzen 9 5900X or Intel Core i7-12700KF. Everything will cost as a whole, if you do not take into account the payment of customs duties and apply the QiWi rate, with AMD – 155,500 rubles from AliExpress and 161,000 rubles in Russia, from Intel – 160,000 rubles and 165,500 rubles, respectively.
Therefore, it does not make sense to look for all spare parts on AliExpress.
