    You think they would be putting more ram in these "gaming" machines -_-

    • geebee on 04/06/2018 - 12:44

      Easily upgraded and 8 GB in the bottom level is adequate, and 16 GB in the next up is ample.

        Easily upgradeable… just need to sell your left kidney to buy one

          Slightly damaged left kidney with at least 5 years of use. Will trade for 8GB 1600 Mhz DDR3 DIMM 240pin

      ram prices are still stupid high

    • Wampus on 04/06/2018 - 13:51

      Ram isn't the bottleneck you think it is for gaming. I'd throw money at GPU, then CPU, before bothering with more than 8gb ram

      • Viper8 on 12/06/2018 - 11:42

        I beg to differ. Unless you're playing the most basic games like CS or LoL, you'll need 16GB of RAM once you get to a 1060.
        I sit at 10GB+ when playing basic games like Overwatch or WoT's with minimal other stuff open in background. This is with a 3rd gen non-K i5 and a 1060.

        For me home/basic business requires 8GB and gaming requires 16GB.

        Of course this is assuming you already have decent CPU and GPU, which the PC in the OP does (8400 & 1060).

        • Wampus on 13/06/2018 - 10:31

          Is 16gb ram better than 8gb? You bet. But if you are throwing RAM at a PC to improve your gaming most of the time you're not solving the problem.

          Source: I do this for a living

    • alx88 on 04/06/2018 - 15:46

      They come with a single RAM. It's very hard to find the exact brand and model in Australia.

      • Viper8 on 12/06/2018 - 11:44
        +1

        You don't need to get the same. There's so much BS on the internet about RAM comparability. The only thing that matters is that it's the same form factor and generation (eg. DDR3 vs DDR4 and SODIMM vs DIMM). Ram with different speeds and even timing almost always does work together. Your PC will simply adjust the other stick to match the highest timings and slowest speed. I've personally seen this work on multiple PC's and laptop's and had discussions about it with IT hardware store owners.
        The whole DELL certified RAM thing is purely that they guarantee it will work with all their other components, and have done extensive testing. It's not saying it won't work with any other RAM.

        • Wampus on 13/06/2018 - 10:32

          Completely agree with this

  • Jonc on 04/06/2018 - 13:06

    Watch the delivery dates on the desktop systems I was looking at ordering an XPS Desktop from Dell Ebay today only to find out you can't upgrade any components online (set builds only) and the delivery is more than a month away which was crazy so did not purchase!

    • Nousernamehere on 04/06/2018 - 13:27

      The delivery time isn't accurate. They just put a lot of passing time 'just in case'. Ordered one of these for a mate back in April and it came in 2.5 weeks. Ordered another one the other day for work as well so will see how long that one takes.

    • Circly on 04/06/2018 - 14:57

      Took about two weeks for my xps

  • Crocbgn on 04/06/2018 - 13:21

    Can someone who already have this system mind sharing

    1)type and brand of motherboard they are using(Z370_/B360_ etc)?
    2)type and brand of video cad?
    3)type and brand and Wattage of power supply?

    • ozdesi on 04/06/2018 - 13:41

      For the money you are spending, why do you care?

      • Crocbgn on 04/06/2018 - 13:51

        I can build it myself using better hardware than buying from Dell if they're using low quality products.

        • Wampus on 04/06/2018 - 14:05
          +2

          Are you sure? I was so sure I could as well, but last time this came up, I tried pricing it individually and it came to just over the $999. Add in Win10 and the fantastic warranty that Dell have, I've stopped building PCs for friends and just recommend these instead.

        • troyrobbo on 04/06/2018 - 14:41

          Then do that?

        • Nadder on 04/06/2018 - 15:07

          From where? If I can get high quality brand name parts for cheaper than one of these builds I would like to know the source because I couldn't find it.

        • Crocbgn on 04/06/2018 - 21:02
          +2

          @Wampus: I don't mind paying bit extra to get better quality. Just want to make sure whether Dell includes cheap parts with this system or they are better quality. For example, an EVGA fully modular power supply vs a generic one has a massive price and quality difference and you can buy them cheap in Amazon deals. I didn't say I can build it under $999 anywhere.

        • Crocbgn on 04/06/2018 - 21:07

          @Nadder: Amazon US has better deals time to time. You may be not able to buy them on the same day as deals come and go.

  • Hybroid on 04/06/2018 - 13:43

    Hmm, shame can't get one without a GPU card at all. Have an original GTX Titan collecting dust that could stick into a semi-decent build.

    • jasswolf on 04/06/2018 - 14:21

      Have a look at PC Byte and Futu Online's range for parts then, as they are in this eBay sale as well and very competitively priced (with delivery included).

      You could easily knock up an i7-8700k build or a Ryzen 2700x build to house the Titan for less than $800.

      • Hybroid on 04/06/2018 - 14:58

        The problem with building PC from parts is the constant 'just a bit more spec' until you're suddenly triple the budget. It's very difficult to self-control with so much choice and options.

        • jasswolf on 04/06/2018 - 17:23

          Ryzen 1700, 8 GB DDR4-2400 (or 2933/3000), 650 W PSU, Case, 960 EVO SATA SSD, B350 motherboard.

          Off you go

    • Brouw3r on 04/06/2018 - 14:26

      420W PSU is probably pushing it, Titans need 250W and a quick estimate puts the main system (minus GPU) at ~160-180W

  • Zodiacmindwarp on 04/06/2018 - 15:15

    How quiet are these?

      Quieter than a chainsaw and noisier than an ant.

    • alx88 on 04/06/2018 - 15:44

      That was my main concern too. I bought one and it's very quiet. I am very picky about my pc noise.

    It is cheaper for a reason. Poor quality parts from DELL.

  • deanosh on 04/06/2018 - 17:10

    can they customise and add an SSD into the i5? Or do i need to add it myself?

    If i add it myself would i then need to clone the O/S to the ssd or can i just reinstall fresh onto the ssd?

  • crosx44 on 08/06/2018 - 16:10

    Can't seem to find info on it but this desktop has space for another 2.5 SSD right? Intend to boot with it. (for the i5-8400 $999.2 version).

    Or is it already installed onto the 1TB HDD? In that case, how can I 'move' windows over? Thanks!

    • scrimshaw on 08/06/2018 - 16:37

      Interface
      SATA 6 Gbps for 2.5-inch hard drive
      PCIe/NVMe for Solid-state drive
      Intel Optane for Solid-state drive

      Solid-state drive One M.2 drive

      Hard drive
      One 2.5-inch hard drive
      Two 3.5-inch hard drive

      Optical drive One 9.5 mm slim optical drive

      So yeah, there is extra room for two additional drives, plus M.2 solid state drive or even Optane if you want to get into that sort of thing.

      Don't worry about 'moving' windows over (but if you want to, Macrium Reflect).

      I would simply just install Windows starting from scratch on your SSD, set it as primary boot media in UEFI and then format your hdd and use it as game library

      • crosx44 on 08/06/2018 - 16:46

        Thanks heaps for the reply man. When you say install Windows from scratch, do you mean downloading windows 10 onto a USB? How do I use the license provided by Dell in that case?

        • scrimshaw on 08/06/2018 - 16:47

          Make your install media burn to USB drive or disc.

          How do I use the license provided by Dell in that case?

          You don't. It's pretty convenient nowadays, you just install Windows and it activates itself once Windows talks to their servers and validates the machine.

          Gone are the days of entering product keys, it's now just embedded into the motherboard

        • crosx44 on 08/06/2018 - 18:21

          Wow that's reassuring. Appreciate the help. Just curious in case I am too stupid to get it right - how do I go about reinstalling Windows (as in installing it on the SSD from the start)?

        • pikatech on 09/06/2018 - 18:41

          @scrimshaw: Just wondering wouldn't it be easier to just copy the files over to the SSD rather than reinstall? Or is there some sort of disadvantage when doing this?
