    Nice find OP

  • +7

    Beautifully formatted post, OP.

    Tempted by the 1070 Desktop. Doubt I will ever get around to replacing my 2011 build with a 2500k and GTX580

    EDIT: Can anyone confirm if it does come with USB Type-C. The pics are inconsistent.

    • for $1700 you can make something better yourself

      • it's pretty line-ball to be honest, for $1700 you're going to be skimping on good quality parts and going for the cheaper options on everything. with a pre-assembled PC you should at least get some degree of confidence & warranty should you run into any difficulties.

        that's also taking into account that you've got the time & knowledge to assemble the whole thing

        i just priced up a pc from PCCG with the same specs, choosing pretty much the cheapest option most of the way through and it came to $1812. i realise there's a slight premium from PCCG vs some other places, but if any one of those components strikes issues i know the warranty return system at PCCG is good.

        • MSY build your PC for around $50 last I tried

      • I bought a second hand PC for $1400 with similar specs
        -GTX 1070
        -i5-6600k
        -32gb 3000mhz RAM :)
        -z170 Asrock
        -480gb intel SSD
        -256gb NVMe
        -HCG 620M PSU
        -Corsair H60 liquid cooling
        -Windows 10 pro

        bought when it was only a year old. It has however given me a bit of gyp crashing but after some updates it has gotten better but not totally fixed; pretty sure its the motherboard.

        Thought it was a pretty good deal but I'm not sure if i should sell it and buy something new (preferably a laptop). Otherwise im looking for a 1440p 144hz monitor that doesn't cost my soul.

    • +3

      Yes I can confirm it comes with USB Type-C.

    • Yeah just sell your gtx 580 and get yourself a 1060 6gb or higher gpu.. Sandy bridge is still kicking it.

      • Multiple people have said this.

        It'll be 1070 or higher.

  • -6

    Very poor quality components and cable work.
    Only buy one of these if you don't have the time and/or expertise to build it yourself.

    • +5

      That's a sweeping generalisation.

      What components specifically are poor?

      And do you have pics of the cabling?

      • +12

        First hand experience, I bought one last year. Not this specific model though.
        Main issue for me was, it was supposed to have an RX570 (made in 2017) but had an RX470 with a flashed bios (made in 2016, before the RX570 was released).

        Pics of cabling, and the RX470 (look at the 2016 date), before the cards came out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD_Radeon_500_series

        One of the few hardware purchases I've regretted.

        • +1

          Flashing an old GPU and claiming is new seems dodgy to me. They probably got the okay from AMD though as the 570 is just an overclocked 470, but it still feels off to me.

        • +1

          If that's true then that's really (profanity) up. Did not expect dell of all companies to be like that…

        • +1

          Same here mate- I actually posted earlier a few replies above you.

          I also got a bad system from Dell, and they were just terrible in getting a refund.

    • +3

      Is this first hand experience of recent Dell Inspiron use or a general disliking or pre-built PCs?

      PC Mag reviews it on this video and open it from 2:40, it looks very neat inside

      @idonotknowwhy While a bit of an exaggeration, it is true that the component choice is poorer than what you could build yourself, this is represented by the warranty of 1 year on the Dell vs 3 years plus on many parts you order and build yourself. With prices of GPUs finally coming down, the value proposition on these Dell units is slowly coming down. He is completely correct in saying only buy one of these if you dont have the time or expertise to build it yourself. If you can build yourself, and if you can get windows cheap or free then it is quite likely you could get the same spec build for the same price or cheaper and have a high chance of it lasting far longer since it would be using better quality parts. But for the novice majority, these still represent very decent value.

    Check the delivery time on these by the way. Youll be waiting almost a month and a half.

    • In a thread about the previous 20% off deal (which ended yesterday), several people mentioned that delivery had taken a week and a half to two weeks.

      I'm hoping they're right because I ordered the 5680 last night.

      • Oh! interesting.

        • +1

          Update (for anyone interested): Just got an email and mine's due to be delivered to Melbourne inner East tomorrow, which comes to 7 working days.

      • Got one in the deal before last and was 3 weeks delivery.

        • Where did you get it delivered to? Non major city?

        • @ShttngDckNppls:
          Wynnum West. Suburb of Brisbane

      • I'm one of those people. I order laptops and desktops from Dell every few months. (Melb based.) Longest wait was 1.5 weeks.

    • Yeah same, got mine in a couple weeks.

  • Is it worth waiting for EOFY sales if Im not in a hurry to order? Realise its hard to guess if they will be any cheaper or on sale for that matter.

    • Get the 1060 if you have been waiting and can't wait any longer

    • From what I've read on other forums, computers don't get discounted much at EOFY because they don't have huge markups and instead the price fluctuations happen when there's new versions released.

    • Just get a pc from Gumtree and keep haggling with sellers till you find the right one.

    People interested in these PC's might want to look at this

    TLDR - GPU's are not on par with mainstream equivalents

    • +1

      Watched the video, the problem with GPUs is the cooling. The performance is on par with 1070 reference designs but the Dell blower design runs hotter and makes more noise than the NVIDIA reference fan.

      • Interdasting.

        What would you recommend to improve cooling?

        • If I personally owned this I'd use Google to search how to undervolt, did the same for Vega 56. The idea is that it reduces performance by about 2 to 3% but reduces power consumption by a higher margin leading too a cooler card and less fan noise.

          I have a small PC case so reducing heat is important.

          -Edit-
          Also aftermarket cooling, that is to replace the cooling unit on GPU. Even the budget options can improve on this if installed properly.

          Don't want to spend too much money? What about replacing thermal paste on the GPU and of they are not on the GPU some tiny GPU RAM heat sinks.

        • +1

          @FabMan:
          Thanks FabMan, I'll give it a shot.

    • Watched the video.. they run a little hotter and louder but the performance is essentially the same. I'm not too fussed there.

  • +1

    Good price on the i7 laptop - makes it hard to go desktop when the prices are so close…

    • +1

      Isn't the 1060 significantly better than the 1050 though?

      • Yes

      • +1

        1050Ti
        Yes but not as much as you’d think

        May only be a 1050Ti but comes with an SSD+HDD and a proper i7 HQ at 2.5kg wth an IPS FHD screen

      What are your thoughts about this.

  • +5

    So I recently bought a gaming PC via one of these deals & Dell Ebay and I must say, its been an awesome experience.

    I even had an issue where I messed up the computer by deleting drivers & such trying to get something connected - Dell online support was a godsend.

    Whilst people say they can build better/cheaper computers, I must say the online support & ease of dealing with Dell were a major plus that I didn't expect when diving into one of these new rigs.

    • +1

      But in general the ppl who build their own equivelent don't mess up the computer by deleting drivers? therefore have no need for a (nanny) hand holding service?

      • +5

        Different strokes for different folks.

      • +2

        But in general the ppl who build their own equivelent don't mess up the computer by deleting drivers?

        Incorrect, we learn from our mistakes. That is how we learnt not to delete drivers ever again. :)

        My first big mistake back in the MS-DOS days was deleting command.com.

        I quickly learnt the ins and outs of that operating system after that, but I needed the initial help to fix my problem. I never made that mistake again.

  • That Inspiron 15 7000 Gaming Laptop i5-7300HQ with GTX 1060 Laptop for $1,359 is still $10 cheaper on the Dell website, and I think it has slightly better cashrewards…

    • Question of the day is upgrading from a 1050ti to a 1060 worth $250 AUD.. and the answer is…

      Are these even full desktop or mobile equivalents or what. Makes a huge difference when comparing to a desktop.

    PCByte has the same deal, only it will get here 10x faster.

    • +7

      Just keep in mind the one PC Byte is selling has no Operating System;

      OS:
      Not Included (Please purchase Windows Upgrade Option)

      • a lot of people don't include that in their assumptions :D

  • Can anyone identify the difference between this Inspirion 5680 and the Dell Inspiron 5675 Gaming Desktop Intel i5-8400 8GB RAM 1TB HDD GTX 1060 6GB that ended yesterday?

    Thanks.

    • difference is 5

    • +2

      I believe It's meant to be ryzen models 5675 vs intel models 5680, but somewhere along the line they mixed one of them up in their listing and never fixed it which caused confusion so now we aren't sure, but the one that ended yesterday for the same price is identical.

  • +2

    I bought one of the 5680 systems a couple of months ago, it's a great upgrade for me. Can any owners of this system suggest a good upgrade for the RAM please? Much appreciated, cheers.

    The 5680 does have NVMe support. If anyone who owns the 5680 can't get their system to boot from their NVMe SSD, feel free to Pm me and I'll advise the steps I took to get this going.

    • Following

      Interested in NVME and also adding in an extra 8GB. Wondering what's been trialled and tested.

    • Is there some kind of unique problem with the 5680 with NVMe or are you just talking generally?

      • +1

        When I first installed my 960 into the 5680, the drive couldn't be seen in windows and couldn't switch to it in BIOS. Had to do some research and a little tinkering, but got it going. Happy to share details if requested by PM.

        Others have reported a similar issue in previous deals for the 5680 posted here on Ozbargain, but am on phone at work, so unable to link to them right now (if you dig through previous posts for this item you'll come across them though).

  • hey guys i bought the 5680 and a SSD drive, but am just wondering if i have the right drive and is this the right place to plug it in?

      Noooooo! That's a SATA power connector!
      The M2 socket is on the motherboard.
      BTW, that's a SATA SSD - I'm not sure it's supported on this motherboard, but if it is it's going to be 3-5 times slower than an NVMe SSD…

      • Thanks, found it hiding below the gfx card.. just ordering an m2 screw now to bolt it on and see how we go with compatibility
