    Prices ???

    • Associatedbyrondowns @ Eight Bits on 20/01/2016 - 23:19

      It is 10% off the total cost of the system. Due to the many different configurations possible it is impractical to list prices. Systems start at $973 not including postage.

        Your supposed to post why this is a bargain.

        What are the specs for $973 system ??? I can buy a new PC for half that, so that's 50% off…

        • Associatedbyrondowns @ Eight Bits on 20/01/2016 - 23:32

          You will find these prices are quite in line with the competition. A powerful i5 6400 GTX 970 build is $1,612.00 (at 10% off this is $1450.80). A saving here of $161.80 is quite significant for a new computer.

          @byrondowns:

          jv asked for the specs of your $973 system, not for you to bring up other specs.

          What's the price of shipping anyway? e.g. postage to postcode 2000/3000. Or where is a pick up location? Some people may prefer to pick up a computer rather than risk it getting damaged in transit.

          How will we do that if you don't provide us with the info to compare.

          Do you think we will just take your word for it that this is a bargain ???

          Sorry mate, but you gotta try harder with those prices.

          Corsair 100R $79 (Umart)
          i3-6100 $173 (MSY)
          Gigabyte N950OC-2GD $235 (MSY)
          Kingston HX318C10FWK2/8 8GB(2x4G) Kit 1866Mhz $62 (Umart)
          WD Blue 1TB $67 (MSY)
          Gigabyte H110M-S2PV $95 (MSY)
          Corsair CX500 V3 $79 (MSY)

          Total: $790

          If you want MSY to build it for you:

          Coolermaster SIL-352M-KKN1 Silencio 352 $79
          i3-6100 $173
          Gigabyte N950OC-2GD $235
          Kingston HyperX FURY Blue HX318C10FK2/8 8G Kit (4Gx2) DDR3 1866MHz $65
          WD Blue 1TB $67
          Gigabyte H110M-S2PV $95
          Corsair CX500 V3 $79
          MSY Assembley $70

          Total: $863

          That's $110 extra for the same deal, $183 extra if you could build it yourself, another $28-67 saved if pickup is available.

      Thank you very much jv for picking up on that, description and coupon have been updated.

      • jv on 20/01/2016 - 23:16

        How about prices…

        10% off isn't a bargain if we can buy them cheaper elsewhere…

    8GB HyperX Ram 99.-

    CPL offers them for 69.- http://cplonline.com.au/kingston-hyper-x-fury-hx318c10frk2-8…

    Core i3-6100 $199.-

    CPL offer it for $173.- http://cplonline.com.au/intel-core-i3-6100-3-70-ghz-3mb-proc…

    GeForce GTX 970 4G $529.-

    CPL offers it for $459.- http://cplonline.com.au/gainward-geforce-gtx970-4g-graphic-c…

    And so on. A real bargain here!

    • deanylev on 20/01/2016 - 23:54

      Some builds actually are a real bargain. I maxed out the 'Alpha' build, which cost $3,748 before the discount, and the equivalent parts cost $3,994 at PCCG.

      After the 10% discount that makes it $3,373, a $621 saving in parts alone, not counting the fact they build it for you (a pro to a lot of people).

      • Cielescha on 21/01/2016 - 07:24

        Pretty sure that's a pricing error on the SSD, $20 extra to double the capacity? Even MSY's price is $410.

        If you disregard the storage:

        Corsair CC750D (CC-9011035-WW) Obsidian 750D $195 (MSY)
        Core i7 6700K $519 (MSY)
        Gainward GW-GTX980Ti-6G-PH $975 (MSY)
        G.Skill 16G (4x4G) F4-2400C15Q-16GRK PC4-19200 / DDR4 $145 (Umart)
        TP-Link Archer T6E AC1300 Wireless $69 (Umart)
        LG BH16NS40 Blu-Ray Writer - SATA (OEM) $85 (MSY)
        Corsair CWCH105 $149 (MSY)
        Gigabyte Z170-HD3 $184 (MSY)
        Corsair CMPSU-HX1000i $315 (MSY)
        Microsoft OEM 64Bit MS Windows Home 10 $139 (MSY)

        Total: $2775

        $455 more than MSY / Umart prices, $132 more with 10% discount.

    • Associatedbyrondowns @ Eight Bits on 21/01/2016 - 00:46

      Buying the parts separately and building the system yourself will of course be cheaper. I do encourage people to try building your own PC to understand and appreciate the internal workings. Not everyone however has the time and patience to build one and would rather the security and support of an professionally built system, this is the service we offer.

      • deanylev on 21/01/2016 - 00:52

        Actually building it yourself isn't always cheaper when compared with your site. Read what I said. You're prices on some PCs are excellent

          @byrondowns:

          Exactly same system, not one different component costs $802.- @ CPL. Check for yourself if you don't believe me. MSY is even cheaper. Standard assembly is $70.- which makes it with assembly it totals to $872.-

          Shipping to 2000 is $35,90 with fast track. Pick up in store is free. However i turn it your system is not a bargain.
