Journalists from "Kod.ru" conducted an experiment: they gave five popular neural networks the same task — to assemble a gaming PC for 100,000–120,000 rubles from current components, considering the memory market crisis and Russian prices. ChatGPT, DeepSeek, Google Gemini, Claude, and "Alisa AI" participated in the experiment. The request was identical for all.
The Russian neural network was the only one among all that chose an Intel-based build. Its configuration included:
- Processor: Intel Core i5-12400F (OEM)
- Cooler: ID-Cooling SE-224-XTS
- Motherboard: Asus Prime B660M-A WIFI D4
- RAM: 32 GB DDR4-3200 (ADATA XPG GAMMIX D35)
- Storage: SSD Samsung 990 Pro 1 TB
- Graphics Card: Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5060 Windforce Max OC
- Power Supply: DEEPCOOL GamerStorm PK600D (600 W, 80+ Bronze)
- Case: Prime Box Warrior Z3
The final cost, according to "Alisa", was 116,000–118,000 rubles; the actual price of the build, according to journalists' estimates, was about 120,000 rubles.
The six-core Core i5-12400F remains a decent gaming processor. The RTX 5060 pairs well with it, but 8 GB of VRAM might be a limitation in demanding projects at high settings in 1440p. 32 GB DDR4-3200 is an adequate solution, and "Alisa" was the only neural network to indicate a realistic price for RAM (25,000–27,000 rubles), unlike ChatGPT and Gemini, which significantly underestimated the cost.
However, there are also debatable points. The Samsung 990 Pro for 9,200 rubles, as indicated by the neural network, actually costs about twice as much. The Prime Box Warrior Z3 case could not be found for sale — it is likely that the model has been discontinued.
How others performed
ChatGPT showed the best result — its AMD AM5 build was recognized as the most balanced. DeepSeek and Gemini also offered working configurations, but with errors in memory and SSD prices. Claude bet on the old AM4 platform with DDR4, which is a sound decision within the 100,000 ruble budget, but without upgrade prospects.
Conclusion
"Alisa" coped with the task, but not without reservations. On the one hand, it was the only one to correctly estimate the cost of RAM in a crisis. On the other hand, the choice of a previous-generation processor and an unavailable case raises questions. Like other participants in the experiment, "Alisa" showed: relying on AI for PC assembly is possible, but only as a tool for sketching a configuration, writes "Kod.ru". Before purchasing, prices and the relevance of components must be checked manually.
