    Im not going to down vote you, but personally i think this is a better deal: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/350809
    Admitting its not the latest chipset the extra ram, ssd, bigger hdd, plus windows make it slightly a better deal. It is $200 more expensive if you got the 1070 (not the same as the 1080 i understand) but add everything else to it. i.e. a 256gb SSD goes for $130 at the cheapest..The extra 8gb of ram goes for $80~, windows….your choice legit or not.. Plus the extra hdd and warranty support…
    Plus how many people are going to use a 1080 without an SSD?

      Thanks for the comment! Yeah, I saw the XPS deal as well yesterday and I have to say you're right. The XPS has more storage and ram as well as better CPU (For gaming) if I'm not wrong but like you said, it is $200 more. For this deal, if the 8gm ram is not an issue, one can always get a 120gb SSD for less than $100 and slot it in making it around $1500 I guess?

    • Recently upgraded my PC. Definitely better to go for 16GB RAM and SDD especially if you are building it for gaming/rendering/etc.

    • This one also doesnt come with an OS - I know its easy to procure … but the dells are readdy to go out of the box.

    • +2

      The Dell is a good deal for someone that needs a system that is good to go out of the box.

      This one has the upside of a normal case that you can work on and upgrade components more easily.

      SSD and memory can be upgraded in the future when a good deal comes along.

      Also the CPU can be overclocked, and also potentially upgraded next year to a Ryzen+.

        If your intent is gaming and most likely it would be if you are looking at this system, 1080 is 25+ percent better performance over a 1070.

        As the gpu is such an expensive part of a computer it will be easier to buy more ram and an ssd, than it would be to sell the 1070 and buy a 1080.

        Price wise, 1080 is roughly $700 (+/- $50).

        If you ain't gaming then this is definitely overkill and having that ssd is a no brainer.

      Here's a novel idea, get this with a gtx 1080, buy an ssd and upgrade it yourself.

        Price jacking / removing products from eBay when coupons go live / they cancelled a bunch (all?) of the orders that double dipped the 10% off and POWERUP.

  • No ssd, and what brand/model is the psu? I wouldnt entrust my pc to anything but a good branded power supply.

    • Says on the website:

      550W High Efficiency Power Supply
      - 4+4 EPS
      - SATA Power
      - 4-pin Molex
      - 6+2 PCI Power
      (Corsair / Thermaltake / Cooler Master / FSP)

    An SSD should be a necessity on any modern system.

    I would probably go with this one. Better warranty for sure from Dell.

    • Didn't see this! Seems like a much better deal :)

    Cheaper to get an Xbox one X.

      One's a dedicated gaming console. The other is a computer that is capable of doing what the console does and so much more. So of course it'd be cheaper.

    I’m not a PC Gamer, but don’t the AMD chips offer significantly worse gaming performance than the intel equivelants? It seems a no brisket to go for an Intel PC if they share the same graphics cards.

      only if your gaming at 1080p,if your gaming at 2k to 4k there isnt as much difference

        I don’t understand, I don’t have a gaming at 1080p or a gaming at 2k to 4K. I don’t even know how you would possess one of those.

        • your monitor resolution determines what system you should build,i can tell your not a PC gamer ;)

          @tintsurfer:

          I believe he's poking fun at the fact you used "your" instead of "you're".

          It's interesting the performance gap closes at higher resolutions though, I've got a 1440p/144hz monitor so I might look at Ryzen when I build a new system.

  • I know I'm a bit late to the party.. but how does ryzen stack against an intel counterpart? I bought an amd-a6 laptop as it was supposed to be as powerful as an i3… but I've been left pretty disappointed, so am bit skeptical buying AMD again.

    • +1

      Slightly worse for gaming, slightly better for the majority of multi-threaded workloads. It's worth checking out some benchmarks that may be most relevant to your use case. Overall though Ryzen is a big improvement on previous AMD CPUs and is very competitive with Intel's offerings.

    • Who told you that? The store salesmen trying to clear old stock? A6 is extremely budget line that should be at the same price as Celeron laptops but perform better at the cost of less battery life. The only thing the a6 is more powerful than an i3 is graphics.

  • +6

    AMD Ryzen processors are right up their with Intels latest, Intel has a slight edge(5%?) but AMD will sell at a better price.

    The days when AMD CPU's were crap for gaming are over.

    • +1

      Yep only go Intel now for nostalgia sake and fan boy worship and for a gaming only use case scenario.. the performance edge in gaming is pretty to look at but the price edge is not.

      Honestly happy and sad to say it but AMD is back in the house.

      People still buying only Intel cpu's right now are mainly just using older parts or have high brand loyalty to Intel as they should as they still are the kings in many other aspects.

      But budget or overall performance consumer desktops are not one of them anymore.

      Unless you go back a few generations with the refurbished and second hand route.

      i'll take the 5%.
      it's funny how AMD plays the catchup game but never really catches up

      the best claim they can do is 'oh, we're nearly as fast' LOL LOL

  • Any 1080 PC deals with a decent RAM/SSD options?

  • didn't see the brand of graphics card? should I look at the brand of it?

    • Most likely founders

    Notes: no operating system, no wireless or wired network card, no ssd, no monitor, no peripherals, stock cpu cooler, no case fans, no fan controllers, no thermal compounds or ups systems

    Can't know if this is a good price for sure considering sales and etc but for a complete nearly all in one package it is pretty good considering cheap building fee.

    For me personally I would probably invest in an after market cpu cooler, 1TB ssd, 2 x bigger 5TB hdd minimum, network wireless and wired card, another 8gb - 24gb of RAM and probably some rgb lighting lol. But then that would push the budget well over $2200 and at that point I might as well get a GTX 1080ti. But to each their own.

    Merry Christmas.

    I honestly think a Ryzen 5 1600, especially at stock speeds, would struggle to drive a GTX 1080 to its full potential. Also slow DDR4 like the 2133MHz variety used here really kills Ryzen gaming performance. Ryzens design benefits greatly from faster RAM, this system just seems very unbalanced to me, not to mention a lack of SSD will mean horrid boot and load times.

    Without meaning to turn this into an AMD vs Intel shitfest, for a build clearly aimed at gaming, an Intel Coffee Lake CPU like the i5 8400 would have been a better choice, and consistently deliver better framerates in most games.
