          And? Good luck finding any large business who hasn't had a customer complaint in 15 days.

          To those who keep wanting to highlight this… What is the outcome you are going for?

          As for the joke of a poster who brought it up originally that he went the cheapest shipping option and his package was damaged in transit (wow what a surprise there), he says he is really happy with the outcome, ad that he holds no grudges and is moving on, but still manages to give a positive to every single post that criticizes cpl. I bet I could even take a look at the people who pos'd Geewhizz and find his name there. Yeah, he's got integrity alright.

          Only after he caused a big stink and posted publicly about it.

          Initially they told him to bugger off only after it got exposure they did the right thing.

        • [Deactivated] on 06/08/2013 - 12:37

          The right thing? I really hope you are joking.

          It was a he said/she said argument and the customer didn't pay for insurance on handling because he wanted to lowest price. Not only that, but Lucksmith initially demanded that they replace every bit of hardware as he personally saw every piece inside of it as an electrical hazard now (lol).

          Apart from him, they didn't get a single complaint, and in his complaint, there were cables not attached, dents to the casing, hardware not secured… Do I need to go on?

        3% discount - I think cpl is just trying to shift units - maybe so they can move into the next discount bracket with the distributer.

        I wouldnt buy this not only because its cpl but also because this configuration doesnt sync up at the same spec level.

      • WorkAround on 05/08/2013 - 17:07
        +2

        If you buy it yourself and assemble it yourself… it'll cost you $864, assuming you pick the parts up yourself or get them shipped for free. Then you have to add on assembly time/effort.

        CPL's price includes assembly, which is decent, considering MSY charges ~$70 for it.

        But yeah, I have to agree it's definitely more fun/enjoyable to learn to do it yourself if you've got the patience and willingness to learn. But… some people have the money and are smart enough to keep it away from Harvey Norman/Bing Lee. :P

    It's a good deal to get a ready to use desktop. If you know how to assemble it (which is not difficult) you'd probably be more picky on the components. i.e i5 4670k abd a better mobo, same with the other components.

  • marquise on 05/08/2013 - 14:17

    Pretty good pricepoint for a gaming system, esp. with OS

  • Riczter on 05/08/2013 - 14:27

    Wouldn't a better PSU be advisable? I'm no pro when it comes to PSU's but usually people always say to upgrade the PSU to a more reliable brand and not just the cheap one that comes with the case when dealing with decent Gaming builds.

    • [Deactivated] on 05/08/2013 - 14:36

      that is a Thermaltake case and the psu will also be that. Thermaltake is defiantly NOT a "cheap one". unless you are planing on changing things such as gpu or adding another gpu or maybe even a half dozen hdds then you wouldnt need a more powerful psu

      • CarbonTwelve on 05/08/2013 - 15:54
        +1

        As much as thermaltake aren't a "cheap one", they're generally not that great. In this case, it comes with a 500W LitePower which is decent, and should be ok for this system, but if I was building it myself I'd get a better PSU.

    • Yuri Lowell on 05/08/2013 - 15:43

      I would usually avoid "pack-in" power supplies but this build doesn't really need a decent PSU. The 7850 doesn't use much power and it's a non-overclocked CPU so 500W is plenty even for a lower end PSU. I wouldn't do any overclocking with it though.

  • jas0n on 05/08/2013 - 15:05

    when would people realise that a bargain is about maximizing ones purchasing power and has has absolutely nothing to do with your subjective evaluation of whether a product is good and/or can be improved upon - that's a matter of context/preference/priorities and will be very different between individuals.

  • manay005 on 05/08/2013 - 15:07

    Would this be overkill for a home office PC using Photoshop on a semi-regularly?
    How does it compare to http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/112439 for this use?
    Thanks all :-)

    • spiev on 05/08/2013 - 15:14
      +1

      Major overkill. So is the one you linked. Go for something with a mid range i5, cheap graphics (like in your link) and SSD storage. That's plenty for Office and Photoshop. Would be significantly cheaper than both these options too.

      • manay005 on 05/08/2013 - 16:37

        Thanks for the advice - will keep my eye out for a deal on a system to suit. I have read some peopl esay on-board graphics is fine if paired with an SSD but I'm reluctant to go that way to find the PC strucggles if it has a couple photoshop files running at the same time.

        • CarbonTwelve on 05/08/2013 - 16:42
          +1

          Photoshop is 95% about the CPU, hence an i7 with an SSD and decent amount of RAM is the way to go. There are a couple of filters that make use of the GPU, but not many and even then the CPU will still have more impact. So basically, onboard is fine for Photoshop.

        • manay005 on 05/08/2013 - 22:14

          Thanks CT, valuable advice, sounds like my money is better spent on the CPU, RAM and an SSD. The photoshop use is quite basic at this stage so on-board sounds fine.

      • King Steuart on 06/08/2013 - 06:46

        SSD should not be used for storage yet.. Passa, are you aware of the size of some .pdf files?

        • _Bruce_ on 06/08/2013 - 10:34

          240G drives are very affordable. How many PDFs do you have? Sure it won't do for storing bulk photo collections, but external/NAS is better for that anyway.

        • King Steuart on 06/08/2013 - 16:04

          When I said .pdf I meant .psd but I think you missed that too haha. .PSD's can be like 50-100mb

          They're still not really 'affordable' considering you can get 2TB sata3 for under $100. Better to get 128gb ssd and a 2tb sata3. Cheaper even!

        • CarbonTwelve on 06/08/2013 - 16:09

          Whether it's cheaper depends on the SSD. You can get a Sandisk Ultra Plus 256GB for $185 now. Having said that, if I was serious about Photoshop I'd probably go for two 128GB SSDs instead (one for OS one for scratch) and then a mechanical drive for storage.

        • _Bruce_ on 06/08/2013 - 16:33

          Having said that, if I was serious about Photoshop I'd probably go for two 128GB SSDs instead (one for OS one for scratch)

          Why not do that on just a single 256? More flexible that way.

        • CarbonTwelve on 06/08/2013 - 16:46

          Why not do that on just a single 256? More flexible that way.

      Yes, poorly. Not that this one isn't fine, Just that the otherone is more appropriate.

      At this price point for that use you should budget for an SSD though.

        The fact is the only reason he got a refund is because he caused a massive stink about it and got exposure. Their initial reaction was to tell him to bugger off.

        A good company doesn't fix an issue only after the customer has had to air the issue out publicly before they will do the right thing.

          They did make a deal like that a while ago. You've just gotta keep your eyes open every Monday when CPL posts a new deal. They often cycle between different customer niches every week so they'll probably end up doing a deal like that one soon enough.

    Would Radeon HD7850OC be better than 660 ti? Not really right?

    Good price for a ready built system, CPL do some good deals compared to self built parts, however 830 is a little expensive for a 7850 build, would recommend going 3rd gen core processors, you save on mobo and core which would let you pick up at least a GTX680 for about the same price making the overall rig a higher end machine. +1 anway!

    CPOnline,

    You gotta be kidding by calling this a "gaming PC" Unless when you say gaming, meaning to play games like Adventures of TinTin, Angry Birds PC, and Red Alert 2

    Sorry to get into a verbal bashing, but im sick of people telling me "im a gamer" when they play Plants Vs Zombies or any other Tablet type games for hours on end. Gamers aren't just classified by how many hours spent, but the Game genre and difficulty level.

    Anyway, back to this one…2 points i'de call out

    Graphics: Gigabyte Radeon HD7850 OC >> Not exactly a gamer level card as not sure it can decently run Metro Last Light or Crysis 3
    Case: Thermaltake V4 USB3.0 w/500W PSU >> 500W too low

    • CarbonTwelve on 06/08/2013 - 10:06

      A 7850 is definitely a gamer level card. It can easily run Metro: Last Light and Crysis 3. It might not max them out in Ultra details at 1080p, but then most people don't need to play at that level.

      And 500W is not too low. It's the appropriate amount to get for a single GPU system.

      As for your elitism for considering people who play casual games as not "gamers", well IMO you need to get the pole out of your ass and realise that the generic term "gamer" includes all sorts of people, and not just those who I'd classify as "hardcore" or "core" gamers.

    • Zylam Marex on 06/08/2013 - 20:57

      I agree, If this was a 600 dollar machine a 7850 would suffice but IGN had a article on how to make a gaming rig that could run Crysis 3 on ultra and it was around 700 I believe.

      What people don't understand is that building a gaming PC for 830 and having a 7850 means you spent money on the wrong parts. If a 7850 (217 dollar GPU) system costs 830 than what did those people who have a GTX680 pay for their system, 1300?. You can build a better "gaming" rig for 830. Sorry don't mean to bash CPL or anyone, the deal on here is good for this specific setup, but this specific setup is not ideal for gaming.

      • CarbonTwelve on 06/08/2013 - 23:04
        +1

        I'm assuming this is the IGN video you're talking about: http://au.ign.com/videos/2013/02/17/how-to-build-a-pc-for-cr…

        Their budget was $1500.

        You practically can't build a gaming system with a 7850 with Windows for $600. A decent case + PSU is going to cost $75 minimum, HDD is $60 (500GB), Windows is $100, RAM is $40 (just 4GB), and the 7850 is $200, and a DVD-RW is $20. That leaves ~$100 for CPU + motherboard. If you get the very cheapest CPU with the most basic motherboard, you can only just scrape that in, but any more money needs to go on a better CPU before you improve anything else.

        Yes, this build could do with some adjustment, but not a whole lot. It's a decent gaming build for $830.

  • frostman on 06/08/2013 - 10:52

    "7850 may not run Crysis 3 in ultra details"
    hmm that's already a given fact, no need to state it. Just imagine it could, and all those $400+ cards are rendered useless.

    But i'de be hard pressed to see it run Crysis 3 or Metro in High detail mode on a 1080 screen reso.
    Perhaps you're referring it to running these games smoothly on a 19" screen, remember, we're past that time now.

    Im not here to have a grammar debate on the gamer vs hardcore gamer.
    It's around the gamer word nowadays freely used (by some 50+ aged people) that "im a gamer" because they play "Block Puzzle" in their spare time.

    typical conversation and ill use you;

    CarbonTwelve: Hey did you play the new TempleRun
    Frostman: Yeah, it's not bad. Did you?
    CarbonTwelve: Well yes, Im a self-confessed gamer. So couldn't put it down
    Frostman: Wow, have you played BioShock Infinite and Black Ops 2?
    CarbonTwelve: What that? let me check the AppStore. Last game i went really well in was Candy Crush.

    • CarbonTwelve on 06/08/2013 - 11:00

      Newsflash: You don't need to run games at native res. There are plenty of people who build gaming systems for under $1k to play these sort of games, and some games they can play at native res, some they can't. Just because they can't afford the best hardware it doesn't make them any less of a "gamer".

      And yes, people who play Plants vs Zombies, TempleRun and Candy Crush are entitled to call themselves gamers. It isn't some exclusive term that you own because (comparatively) you spend a lot of money on it.

    • _Bruce_ on 06/08/2013 - 11:19

      Almost all monitors are still 1080. 19" or 27" makes no difference at all to performance.

      I am still running a 4890, which is less powerful than the 7850 and most recently I played tomb Raider (yes, the new one) at maximum detail 1080 without issue (min 30 fps).

      Even in the more extreme examples of Crysis and Metro you give this system will do very well. Wouldn't surprise me if it hits (or nearly hits) max detail in Bioshock Infinite.

    CarbonTwelve..

    I just can't stop laughing about my little dialogue speech above that I had of you. It's starting to look much closer to reality now the more you type here.

    YES - Go to any gaming Forum and any gamer will tell you you need to run on Native Reso of a Screen 24"+ to decently play ANY decent game

    NO - I, in no way implied gamers cant be gamers because they cannot afford a hardcore system. You've gone too granular in your discussion that it's come down to the money not the the real discussion.

    NO - Plants Vs Zombies, and Candy Crush players arn't gamers. Because you cant be a gamer by playing a game with ONE INDEX FINGER. Use your brain (if it's still there). Not to mention the fact that 99% of these games, including the ones you mentioned, you can finish much quicker if you have $200 spare to buy power-packs, Lives, and Add-ons which greatly aid your chances of moving on. If anything, a disadvantaged person playing Candy Crush can be much behind someone who's dad's connected the AppStore with his credit card to buy Add-ons….something you cant by with REAL games like Crysis and so on.

    • _Bruce_ on 06/08/2013 - 11:25

      Just because you feel the need to justify wasting money on competely unrequired hardware doesn't mean anyone else cares what you think.

      The idea that only social games have low requirements is also laughable, there are tons of older games and indie games that are far better than your precious Crysis.

      To repeat the main point though: this system will run ANY current game either at max or near max detail at 1080 resolution. If you need more it is because you have a higher res monitor or multiple monitors, both of which are not common, even amongst retard Cysis gamers like yourself.

    • CarbonTwelve on 06/08/2013 - 11:35

      I go to gaming forums regularly. I design gaming systems for people regularly. I play just about every AAA game that gets released on PC. No, you don't need to run games at native res.

      You said that the 7850 is not a gamer level card. There are plenty of gamers who can't afford a faster GPU. Therefore, according to your comments, people who can only afford a 7850 can't be gamers.

      The number of digits required to play a game does not define the difficulty or the complexity of the game. There are plenty of games both new and old that could be played just by mouse (and therefore could've been played by one finger on a touch screen) that nobody would even doubt would make you a 'gamer' if you played them. Examples: XCom (both the original and the new version), Diablo 1, MtG: DotP, Dungeons of Dredmor, FTL, etc.

      There's more to gaming than just FPS (which is all that you've mentioned so far).

    The other around this system should not be called a Gaming Rig because it will struggle to play up to date games on full reso.
    Dont believe me? Sweet, copy + Paste the specs, go to WhirlPool forums and write a new thread called "My New Gaming Rig" and paste it there. I guarantee people will laugh at you. So sit back on your chair and think before you type Pal, you're hyperventilating.

    @CarbonTwelve - I get what you mean, 7850 can run all games. I agree. Just not to the level of a real gamer. But that's fine. We all agree on that point there

    On the other hand, please Dont compare Diablo with an iPad appstore game like Banana Kong or Sally's Salon . PLEASE DONT. Diablo fans will blast you. Diablo is an RPG game, Snow Penguins isnt!

    I'm happy splitting it with:

    "Im an iPad gamer" = I play shitty one-touch, power-up purchased games
    "Im a gamer" = The real deal

      As someone with over 10,000 posts on Whirlpool, 90% of which are in the Desktop forum related to building systems, I can safely say that no, people will not laugh at you. Here's my proof of several recent budget gaming builds based around 7850 (either from the OP or recommended by respected users):

      It's the "not to the level of a real gamer" part that we disagree with. I even know of pro-gamers who use crappier cards than this to play games 12+ hours a day.

      On the other hand, please Dont compare Diablo with an iPad appstore game like Banana Kong or Sally's Salon . PLEASE DONT. Diablo fans will blast you. Diablo is an RPG game, Snow Penguins isnt!

      I wasn't comparing them, so much as pointing out that the control scheme has very little to do with how "hardcore" a game is.

      I'm happy splitting it with:

      "Im an iPad gamer" = I play shitty one-touch, power-up purchased games
      "Im a gamer" = The real deal

      And like I started with, I'd be putting it as

      "I'm a gamer" = I play games
      "I'm a core gamer" = I play AAA games

      … 7850 can run all games [] Just not to the level of a real gamer

      This is possibly the equally most retarded comment I have ever read.

        ^ That is possibly the equally the most retarded grammar ive seen typed up in a long time..

        you must be a high school drop out.

        Anyway, im done with this thread…

          WTF? There's nothing wrong with his grammar. Besides, you're hardly one to talk with the amount of missed punctuation and incorrect capitalisation you've provided.
