      also keen to know this

  • Homr on 04/04/2017 - 19:58

    This or RYzen?

    • blaze on 04/04/2017 - 20:37

      if what you are doing utilises multi cores efficiently the ryzen has 6 cores vs 4 in the 7700k. ryzen is also cheaper afaik

      • Homr on 04/04/2017 - 21:46

        I will probably be using the machine for gaming.

        • blaze on 05/04/2017 - 01:44

          I'm no gamer but from what I understand you should be more than fine with something like this. Maybe someone else can chime in.

        • klaw81 on 05/04/2017 - 09:29

          Most games are fairly single-threaded and don't actually need much CPU power anyway. Ryzen doesn't offer any advantage, so it's a matter of budget.

          This is a good gaming machine at a very reasonable price.

        • Viper8 on 05/04/2017 - 13:06

          i7 has superior single-core to quad-core performance thanks to its significantly higher clocks (desktop and gaming usage).
          Ryzen has superior multi-core performance thanks to double the number of cores and threads available (workstation usage).

  • Circly on 05/04/2017 - 09:40

    What's a good monitor to go with this? Which one of the following would be the best ad an all rounder for games, movies, browsing etc.

    Games.. Not sure open world games and third person shooters and possibly Fps.

    Thanks for posting. I bought the version from the last ebay sale https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/296763

    This is both a little better, and a little cheaper.

    It hasn't arrived yet, and their customer service has been really good, and is going to refund and switch it for this version.

    • RogueWolf on 05/04/2017 - 14:18

      good to hear

  • jeefbeef on 05/04/2017 - 14:43

    Everyone is freaking out about the wattage of the PSU being 460W, but that's not the point. A Kaby Lake / Pascal build should not draw more than 400W even on full load.

    The point is the reliability of the unit, and the quality of the components that it uses. Shit-tier PSUs struggle to deliver their rated wattage, have bad ripple control and in rare instances, completely fail. Based on my experience with pre-built Dells, I wouldn't have much confidence in the unit unless they can specifically tell me the brand and model.

    With an i7 7700 and a GTX 1070, I'd want something reliable driving my expensive components. I wouldn't simply dismiss the concerns about the PSU just because 460W is "enough".

    A 460W Seasonic / EVGA PSU is very different from a 460W no-name.

    Seems like Dell is now with Powerbuy rather than Cash Rewards. Edited. Was only valid for first 40 claims this offer. Mods please delete

  • Sammyboy on 05/04/2017 - 16:34

    Just checked with the support guy at www.powerbuy.com.au and he said the $100 cash back offer is still going. I asked if the limit had been reached and he said not yet and offer was still valid. I just purchased and submitted my invoice to them. So will bring the system down to $1719
    There was a 3% coupon but it came off the original price (removing the cash-off discount). So don't use that

    So for those of you who hesitated, now is another reason to pull the trigger!

      good scoutin' boy

    • Circly on 06/04/2017 - 18:43

      The code doesnt work? It just removed the initial discount and replaces it with 5% off.

      • Sammyboy on 06/04/2017 - 20:21

        You have to sign up to the site. Then just submit a copy of your invoice to them. there is a link to submit claim. Dont use the code that joining gives you. that removes the dell 30% discount and uses the 5%.

        • Circly on 06/04/2017 - 20:26

          Thanks Sammy boy. I worked it out after I posted. Now to buy a monitor!

    • wizzlesticks on 06/04/2017 - 20:18

      I'm a bit concerned. The terms are clear that it's limited to the first 40 only. Not sure if I'd have a leg to stand on if they decided not to honour the claim, even though a 'support guy' said otherwise.

      • Sammyboy on 06/04/2017 - 20:22

        Chat to them on the support pop up window and ask. I thought the same too, and he said no, still going and go ahead and purchase.

        • wizzlesticks on 06/04/2017 - 20:40

          It's also asking me to select yes for "ARE YOU A Dell ASSOCIATION MEMBER?"

          Did you get that?

          EDIT: NM, Chrome auto populated my name into the sales rep field.

        • Sammyboy on 06/04/2017 - 20:58

          @wizzlesticks: Don't remember seeing that. I would presume if the limit is reached that submit your receipt section would be removed, as that is all that is for

    I grabbed one of these last night. Seemed like a good deal.

    Not overkill for home office and the occasional game with my son online.

    I Can claim on tax soon too :)

    Now just need monitor and keyboard/mouse.

    $100 Cashback is nice :)

    Thanks OP.

    Thanks OP! Bought one last night. Have been considering a new PC for the last month or so. I work from home, and my current PC is from 2010, so this will be a nice upgrade haha. I almost bought the last version of this computer when Dell eBay had 20% off. So glad that I waited. Estimated delivery on the 18th of April. Can't wait! :D

    Update: Just checked my estimated delivery date and it has now changed from the 18th, to the 11th of April.

      I'm getting increasingly jealous of people with an ETA of the 11th!

      I ordered on the 4th to be delivered to the Brisbane CBD and though it is "In Transit" my ETA has not changed from the 18th :(

      • axel32 on 07/04/2017 - 10:19

        I'm in the same boat. I even called and they offered to "expedite" the order because of their ambiguous shipping info which I of course said yes to. And yet the date still says 18/04 and there are a bunch of people here getting there's changed to the 11/04 who orderes later and who I assume didn't even call. Ahh!

        • Circly on 07/04/2017 - 13:54

          Mine says 21/4 lol.

          What's worse is my monitor comes in 26/4 so I will just have to forget I bought it!

          @Raihoo:

    • Raihoo on 11/04/2017 - 14:07

      Any sign of it showing up today?

      • xjcs88 on 11/04/2017 - 16:41

        I am also looking forward to my delivery.

      • Raihoo on 11/04/2017 - 16:51

        Mine is now with local carrier! Estimated delivery date of today which is unlikely as it's showing as being in Homebush and needs to get to Milton.

        • xjcs88 on 12/04/2017 - 11:36

          Still 'In Transit'…

        • Raihoo on 12/04/2017 - 13:39

          @xjcs88: I have now recieved a Toll tracking number - it has no ETA on it, and only states "EDI Received" however has the location of Redbank QLD. I can only assume that it's still on its way from Homebush and will show a scan when it gets to Toll in Redbank. From there it shouldn't take long at all, but who knows.

          Would be nice to get it before the long weekend!

        • xjcs88 on 12/04/2017 - 13:51

          @Raihoo: Yeah, hope you can get it before long weekend.

          I just called Dell and was told my order probably might change status tomorrow. No idea how he knew it.

          It is very unlikely that I am able to play with it during the long weekend. :(

        • xjcs88 on 12/04/2017 - 13:54

          @Raihoo: He also told me that these 8920 desktop were shipped from Malaysia.

          So maybe it is because I live in Melbourne Victoria, which is farther away from Malaysia than QLD, haha.

          I placed my order in the morning of 04/04, what about you?

        • Raihoo on 12/04/2017 - 14:02

          @xjcs88: I ordered mine the same date - it looks like you cancelled your order and then ordered a different PC though? That will no doubt start the whole process again :(

        • xjcs88 on 12/04/2017 - 14:22

          @Raihoo:

          Haha, it's a bit complicated. I checked the Dell website and found the CPU of this 8920 has been changed to "up to 4.2 Ghz".

          While I do want to buy another gaming monitor, so I bought that last night, and planned to return the previous order the next day(Dell customer service dept was already off at that time).

          But after discussion with Ozbargainers, I realised their CPU specs might be the same, just some paperwork error.

          So I cancelled the new order (placed yesterday) this morning.

          Having said above, I am still waiting for my previous order now…

        • xjcs88 on 12/04/2017 - 14:30

          @Raihoo:

          Just got the email from their customer service:

          Hi Simon,

          I called you after your email and spoke with Yuxi and explained her the status.

          This order should have been delivered to you by Friday the 14th April since it is a public holiday on the 14th and the 17th April and 15th and 16 happen to be weekend the order is getting delayed

          As discussed after your call for the ETA I expedited the order to have it delivered ASAP.

          The order status will be updated tomorrow as the order was sent through Air.

          Should you have any further questions please feel free to respond to this email.

          @Aced21: I received a text message, and email, from Toll yesterday with my tracking details - it is, however, the same reference number that the Dell site gave me.

          I am now tracking through Toll and not DB Schenker which has all the details.

        • Aced21 on 13/04/2017 - 13:24

          @Raihoo: Ahh, okay, I didn't get anything from Toll or anything but rather only the link to DB Schenker. Looks like I won't be getting it today. :(

        • Raihoo on 13/04/2017 - 18:36

          Received it today at 4:30pm - seemed as though it was a bit touch and go with the courier, but he came through in the end. Woohoo!

    • Sammyboy on 06/04/2017 - 16:47

      Oh wow, all through just haggling on chat or by phone?

      • pookie on 06/04/2017 - 18:56

        Online chat with customer service person. She was very helpful, although she did have to go check with manage, supposedly. And then I got sent a 'quote' email which I had to agree to. No problem :)

        It was conditional upon also buying the PC, which I did last night, she could see the order in the system so all good :)

        I just told her I forgot to include monitor, and that without a monitor the system is useless and I could get a similar spec with monitor for same price elsewhere but I heard good things about Dell and want to start equipping my whole office network and other businesses with Dell products if I was happy with this initial purchase etc…

        :)

    Ended up buying the U2716H to go with this desktop for $399 on the outlet store.

    Its a 1440p screen but only 60hz. Will that be a big issue with the gtx 1070?

      Plug to your GPU port. Or you can only use your integrated Iris GPU which is much worse than GTX 1070.

  • xjcs88 on 11/04/2017 - 22:06

    Hi everyone, since my order is still 'In Transit', I browsed Dell website and found they did some slight change to this Desktop.

    Now the CPU comes with (up to 4.2 Ghz, which was 3.6 Ghz before), and they changed the Windows 10 from Pro to Home ( -100 dollors). They cancelled the discount but the offer came with a S2417 gaming monitor which is 144hz refresh rate.

    After consideration, I cancelled my previous order and bought this updated one.

    (Sorry for my poor English)

    • Circly on 11/04/2017 - 22:18

      I think the 4.2 is the Max turbo frequency. 3.6 is the base frequency.. It should be the same chip as previously.

      Still shows pro to me?

      • RogueWolf on 11/04/2017 - 22:46

        his looking at this listing the chip is the same 7th Generation Intel® Core™ i7-7700 Processor (8M Cache, up to 4.2 GHz), but comes with a gaming monitor looks to be end of life model, probably better off keeping the previous deal & buying a gaming monitor seperate

        • Circly on 11/04/2017 - 22:49
          +1

          I agree. The previous deal was $1819.. the monitor isnt worth about $700.

        • RogueWolf on 11/04/2017 - 22:54

          @Circly: $1719 if you applied for the cashback, each to there own I guess

        • xjcs88 on 11/04/2017 - 23:09

          My order shows 7th Generation Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700 Processor (8M Cache, up to 3.6 GHz) which is not the exact same chip.

        • xjcs88 on 11/04/2017 - 23:15

          Appreciate if you could help to check your CPU's spec.

        • RogueWolf on 11/04/2017 - 23:23

          @xjcs88: Im not very computer savvy but I think its the same chip going by intels specs, I dont see any other chips stating up to 3.6, I googled the chip you posted & all that say 3.6 then say up to 4.2 best someone else answers this, or double check with dell

        • xjcs88 on 11/04/2017 - 23:27

          @RogueWolf: Yeah, for my understanding, 7700 should be all the same.

          But I chat with sales tonight, they told me Dell did a update on that CPU. Is there any chance that the salesman know nothing about it?

        • Circly on 11/04/2017 - 23:34

          @xjcs88:

          I'm fairly sure its the same chip as before. look at this link:

          https://ark.intel.com/products/97128/Intel-Core-i7-7700-Proc…

          3.6 is base and 4.2 is turbo.

        • RogueWolf on 11/04/2017 - 23:38

          @xjcs88: No idea best call a few computer shops & ask, but I think it's the same

    • xjcs88 on 11/04/2017 - 23:10

      Made a mistake. This monitor has a refresh rate of up to 165hz.

      • Circly on 11/04/2017 - 23:38

        Ah yeah that is a nice screen for fast gaming. The colours aren't too accurate though. But you are paying the full price for the screen as it costs about $700-800 anyway.

      Thanks for the information. If CPU remains the same, I would still choose this 30% discount one.

      It's good that I haven't told Dell customer service to cancel my order, will wait and see. :D

    So I went to check my order status and it turned out to be invalid via the link today. It was working yesterday. Does anyone have this problem? My ETA on the email says 20/04 but on the tracker (yesterday) says 13th. I hope it goes get delivered tomorrow so I don't have to wait on the long weekend.

      Nvm it fixed itself. Got the shipping info.

      Please update us in your thoughts when you set it up :)

    • xjcs88 on 12/04/2017 - 11:38

      It is much appreciated if you could help to confirm this CPU spec.

    Apparently my Dell Monitor has been delivered.. Will check when i get home tonight. Now just for the desktop!!

    • xjcs88 on 13/04/2017 - 14:11

      Haha, you need to face to face with your monitor without a desktop. But still better than me, having nothing to look at…

    Mine is out for delivery today. Just had an issue where tracking was showing delivered, but nothing delivered. No card left in the letterbox. Called Toll who stated that the driver said no one was home which is rubbish, as I've been home all day and also have a motion detecting camera at the front door. Operator said that the driver will come back to my house "again" later this afternoon to deliver. Hmmmm.

    • xjcs88 on 13/04/2017 - 14:38

      They always state that on one was at home.

  • Circly on 13/04/2017 - 16:30

    Do we get any free games with the graphics card?

      Give us your thoughts after you have posted around for a bit!

        It is awesome!

        I don't know how to check what the turbo boost is, but in the system about section, it states 3.6 GHz base. Probably is 4.2 GHz turbo as earlier stated.
        Everything is fast as usual.

        MacAfee is automatically installed with sub active.
        Some apps from the microsoft store is already installed such as candy crush (other few games), twitter, facebook, etc.
        Full Suite Office is already there, but you need an account and since i'm a university student it's free.
        Seems like all the drivers are installed as the disk provided is only for reinstallation.

        I'm currently just re-organising the directories of everything, and it is my first time doing a SSD and HDD combo. Everything will automatically install to the SSD so it is up to you on how you want to set it up.

        The tower is actually compact. Small compared to my previous tower. you'd be surprised.

        Any other questions? Just drop it down below.
