In the initial category of budget gaming laptops up to 60,000 rubles, which is exactly what is needed for modern hardware, models based on the Intel core I5-8300H processor for 4 cores and 8 threads are suitable for us, or a little easier than the i5-7300HQ without multithreading. 8 GB of DDR4 memory is enough for you with one die, because it is better to buy a laptop more expensive, and then take an additional "RAM" later. With a video card, things are such that either the GTX 1050 or 1050TI is suitable for us. The specified parameters are enough to achieve a smooth game at medium, in some cases, at high graphics settings with Full HD resolution.
