    Item title says i5 8400 but description says i3 8100

      Hmm I missed that one….

      I'm quite sure that this is the one with i5 8400 though as the seller (techfastau) has another listing with the i3 CPU, right here

      They're selling it for $729 right there (which translates to $619 after PLUSIT15 discount) for the i3 CPU.

      • [Deactivated] on 17/09/2018 - 16:48

        Soo like Duoka said, the item description says "Processor: Intel Core i3 8100 Quad Core Processor (2.8GHz - 4.0GHz TurboBoost)" can anyone confirm it is a i5 8400 or i3 8100?

        • Demarque on 17/09/2018 - 17:09

          I have sent them a message to ask if they can confirm that it's definitely packing an i5 8400, will post if I get a response.

          Heard a rumour (and it is just a rumour so take it with a grain of salt) that these guys ship PC's with refurbished (used) parts. I've also asked them to confirm that everything in the machine is 100% brand new for that build. Will post their reply to that too.

    I was looking at upgrading my 2500k to an 8400 because it has been chunking my FPS in BF5 during the beta (have a R9 390). I would have to upgrade my Mobo and RAM as well, getting those parts alone I was coming up with around ~$750 anyway haha. Pretty good deal

    • blue2609 on 17/09/2018 - 16:24

      @knobbs,

      Yeah, not bad eh? And this one already comes with a 1080p monitor, keyboard and mouse (they're just basic 1080p monitor, keyboard and mouse, but hey it's not bad considering the bundled price).

      Haha, yeah BFV beta damn man.

      I myself have what I consider a really high end build with 1080Ti/4770k and even at 1080p/high setting I still get some stutters and frame dropping to as low as 48 FPS. This game LOVES high end CPU and high speed DDR4 memory mate, dayumm

          Yeah it is what it is, you're right.

          Looking to upgrade to 8700/8700k right now, I'll see if I have the money though as that means I need to buy mobo/DDR4 memory/8700 OR 8700k. Or just get i5 8600k but I really do want the i7 for hyperthreading.

          That's true, either buy 8700 right now or just wait until 9th gen.

        • knobbs on 17/09/2018 - 17:03

          @blue2609: All I want is a measly 8400 till my GPU hits the bottleneck again and then upgrade the whole thing in a few years. The only thing about changing from my 2011 2500k is the price to get a new mobo and ram with it :S Almost better to just get something higher than that now.

          @blue2609:
          Why not Ryzen? More cores, lower cost overall. (Bonus of a respectable quality cooling solution, soldered IHS vs cheap ineffective cooler and low quality thermal paste).
          Just depends on your workload really though.
          Intel advantage is that you can give it cheaper RAM. If you want to squeeze everything out of Ryzen, you have a little more work to do.
          To each their own of course :)

          Should - but remember Intel's corporate greed knows no bounds.
          They may well just do the K series (or even only the 9700K) with soldered IHS as to minimise the 'extra' cost.

        It's also the beta, so optimisation is likely not the best and will probably be better at launch

    • EnALup on 17/09/2018 - 18:52

      BF5…. that was good fun.
      I have i5 4th gen with R9 290, 8 GB DDr3 and 500 GB SSD. BF5 on mine works fine after tweeking the visual settings to medium/high on Full HD monitor. Framerate was set to 60 fps as well.

      If you dont fancy 144hz refresh rate or dont want 2k resolution and current setup is working fine, I would advise to go for a build with NVidea 1080 or above card, so you are fine for next 4-5 years. Down the line, you can upgrade your monitor for better refresh rate.

      Assume the shittiest. I got (profanity) over buying a pre-build dell from OzBargain last year. Didn't even come with the advertised RX570 (it was an RX470 with a flashed bios).

      • GPU will be reference.

      • RAM will be generic, 2133mhz with CAS 18 @ 1.35v

      • HDD will be a WD Green

      • Mobo will be proprietary with no overclocking.

      If you're happy with all that and buy it ^ then you might have some nice surprises :)

        pre-build dell

        Why were you expecting branded parts in a Dell pre-built? Of course it's all generic/reference/proprietary parts. Also, no way a Dell machine came with a flashed RX470 instead of a RX570.

        • idonotknowwhy on 17/09/2018 - 19:49

          Yeah it was. Manufacture date was 2016. RX570s came out in 2017.

          https://www.dell.com/community/Desktops-General-Read-Only/DE…

          I'd been out of the game for a while and it looked like a bargain.

          -2

          @idonotknowwhy: Damn. To be fair to Dell, that might be more an AMD issue than Dells, because I think AMD were selling binned RX470s as RX570s because it's the same chip. Don't know though - let us know how that pans out because yeah that looks just a bit ridiculous.

        • maybe a bot on 17/09/2018 - 21:55

          @idonotknowwhy: the rx570 is based on silicon from 2016 — it's the same as the rx470 but with slightly higher clockspeeds and a higher power target (120w v 150w).

          if it runs stable at the higher clockspeeds it's definitely a rx570.

          due to being an OEM model the memory is clocked lower.

        • HighAndDry on 17/09/2018 - 16:51

          Nah it's a perfectly fine pre-built. Some people just have too high expectations for something like that at a <$800 price-point. Seriously, I'd be very hard pressed to come up with an equivalent system at that price-point, even using bargain basement parts. So if any of the parts here are branded, that's already a win.

      Honestly, for someone who's going to be looking at something like this (i.e. not a tech head, wouldn't be building their own PC, probably won't even be upgrading and definitely not OC'ing), the only thing that really matters are:

      1. PSU, and only edge cases because anything rated for 550W will be able to run those components unless you're OC'ing like a madman. And again anyone who's OC'ing isn't buying a pre-built anyway.

      ….

      Actually that's it really.

      LED Fan? Doesn't matter.

      Motherboard? As long as it has the right chipset it'll have all the basic I/O and ports - most of it is from the chipset anyway.

      GPU? Again, as long as it's reference it'll perform fine.

      RAM? Negligible difference to anyone who isn't a tech-head.

      SDD? Same as RAM - you might be able to measure the difference between a good and bad SDD with a stopwatch, but other than placebo effect it's not noticeable.

      HDD? Same.

      Plus - at this price, just getting the very basic, but working and functional, advertised parts in a pre-built is already a bargain. Getting good parts is a bonus at this point.

        Agree to disagree. As a consumer I prefer to know exactly what I'm paying for when I spend my money. If I wanted a mystery box I'd buy one instead rather than buying one disguised as a computer.

        Sorry but risking a non name brand ssd / hard drive is just not worth it you claiming they are the same is also false - sure they may work at the same speed but their failure rates are going to be much higher .

        But in this case the hd is 2 named brands so thats not really that bad

          +1

          I didn't neg you first of all, but eh. Like…. eh. There are only so many HDD manufacturers out there, they all have very similar failure rates, with some smaller players (Hitachi or Samsung for example) actually having better failure rates than the bigger players - Seagate and WD anecdotally and in my own experience. And as to SDDs… failure rates really aren't a factor, because there are even less manufacturers of NAND Flash memory chips (Samsung, Hynix, and…. Intel?) so that brand names literally don't matter.

    • dcash on 17/09/2018 - 16:54

      From a bit of sleuthing on their site using their other gaming systems for comparison, here are the main 'mystery' parts that come with this system:

      Biggest worry there is the PSU. Sure, it'll run the system, but for how long?

      • Tacooo on 17/09/2018 - 18:47
        +7

        Biggest worry there is the PSU shorting and burning your house down.

      • fsb667 on 17/09/2018 - 19:04
        +4

        You're not wrong!

        If that's the actual PSU, I'd stay away from this deal.
        It's a bad sign when the amperage (30A in this case) on the 12V rail is not used as the sole measure for the PSU's wattage.
        For all intents an purposes it's a 360W PSU (12V * 30A), which, as you rightly point out, is barely enough to run those specs.
        It will give out sooner, rather than later.
        Sauce; build systems and rework PSUs for fun and (barely) profit.

        • buffalo bill on 18/09/2018 - 02:40

          It's not so much the overall output wattage (it might be barely OK for this build), but also overall quality. Load regulation, ripple suppression etc, even noise. I've never seen anything good come from using a $35 desktop power supply. My bet would be that mobo wouldn't last too long anyway, but using that cheap PSU will certainly end it's life early.

        • fsb667 on 18/09/2018 - 10:14
          +1

          @trucktech:

          Output goes hand-in-hand with these things occurring though? As you approach max output, ripple and noise will become higher; they are connected, not a constant.

          Max output rating is a helpful (though imperfect) measure of how much you can push the PSU before ripple and noise start causing significant premature failure of both PSU and parts. Stay well below it on cheap PSUs like these (max 60%-70% of true max 12V rating from experience) and you'll be fine. Higher quality PSUs you can push harder before ripple and noise become an issue.

          It's sad isn't it? You and I know that the nasty thing with deals like these is that everything seems to work just fine for a while; there are plenty of chokes and other stabilisation measures on the components (GPU, Mobo) to handle even out-of-spec ripple and noise. Having to deal with ripple will significant will shorten the lifespan of the caps and VRMs on these parts though. All to save a few bucks on a PSU.

          The unknowing customer just chalks it up to "bad luck" if the PSU or any of the other components inevitably die 2 years later. This is not a bargain unless you're willing to swap out the PSU for another one. This build will die prematurely.

          +1

          @fsb667: I was actually referring to noise as in dB from the PSU, but yes electrical as well. The best thing that could happen to the buyer here is that the PSU dies early… They replace it for a for a better one for around $100, perhaps extending their use of the other components by a few years.

          It's a shame because their systems are cheap enough (about to do a build but also considering good value pre-built), they would probably sell just as many systems if they spent even $50 more on a better PSU and passed that cost onto their customers. They had to go that one step further and make them cheap & nasty as well.

          @fluberries: What kind of chip you got in there, a Dorito?

    • ialam99 on 17/09/2018 - 20:53

      Mate, my one had a turbo button for when you needed that extra speed…but for snake, I had to turn the turbo off else it was way too hard

      Yeah and the average capital city house price was $110,000 in the 486 era.

      Shows how much better household financial situations were then and earlier, it'd be the modern-day equivalent of pulling around 30k+ out of your back pocket for basically a toy now - given that a computer was not required or used for most occupations at that time.

  • Godric on 17/09/2018 - 17:01

    Ew

  • arbok on 17/09/2018 - 17:11

    Sometimes things are too good to be true. An i5 8400 is $300 at MSY and a 6GB GTX 1060 is $400 already.

    They'd be taking a loss on this.

    I mean - they could theoretically still deliver and you'd get a great deal, or you'd be taking a risk to save a bit of money. That type of PC should cost around $1000-1200 done right.

    • rob87 on 17/09/2018 - 17:16

      Well it is 15% off $929 so it's close to the ball park figure.

      No real specs are advertised such as speed of ram? Could be DDR4 1666mhz?

      HDD? Cheap no name branded Hard drive OSCOO ?

      Plus i3 8100 is roughly $170, I know the title says 8400 but in the components ad it says i3 8100

    • fufufu on 17/09/2018 - 17:59

      You'd rather they list it for $1200 and have a "discounted" price of $1000?

      You know, like all the other price jackers out there?

    • bigmanlukaku on 17/09/2018 - 18:19

      maybe but they get discounts on retail price. these days prebuilt is more affordable.

  • Homr on 17/09/2018 - 17:29

    has to be i3 8100. If its 8400 then its way too good to be true.

    whats the catch? it seems like a solid deal. it would be nice if you could purchase without the monitor but thats where the money is most likely.

  • Quarn on 17/09/2018 - 17:46

    It's an Ebay Plus listing meaning you can return it at no cost or penalty if you don't like it or it's not up to scratch.
    They have to honour the i5 listed in the title.

  • [Deactivated] on 17/09/2018 - 17:58

    I would buy this for a teenager who wants a gaming pc and encourage them to save for and install the upgrades they want. Its just high enough spec to play games, just low enough spec for them to complain.

    • bigmanlukaku on 17/09/2018 - 18:14

      is gtc 1060 really just enough

        I run a GTX 1060 too and I find it more than enough… the 13 y/o who just seems to bandy about buzzwords is intent on a 1080Ti…. he can drop hints all he wants - hell will freeze over first.

    I got a PC from them and the mobo is no name (30 USD on Alibaba, the only place you can find it)
    Psu also blew up within 2-3 months but they replaced it :)
    Don't regret buying it, a bargain for the price

    • HighAndDry on 17/09/2018 - 19:06

      a bargain for the price

      Exactly this. At this price - you literally can't build a similarly specc'd computer and certainly not with peripherals.

      • badonde on 17/09/2018 - 19:26
        +1

        I think if you just want great specs and a PC that will work it's a great deal.

        If you're the sort of person that is very specific about the brand of every component then it's just not for you (like most prebuilts). Not in a negative way, but really you just wouldn't buy a prebuilt as they almost always skimp on parts to make a bit of profit.

        • HighAndDry on 17/09/2018 - 19:27
          +1

          Yup exactly. And yeah - if you're the type of person to obsess over every component (like me), you wouldn't buy a prebuilt to begin with.

  • Johnny-Kun on 17/09/2018 - 19:25

    Anyone tell me if this CPU is VR ready? I'm currently running an old AMD 8350 and wouldn't mind upgrading to this.

    Already own a 1080, was gonna just swap some parts out of my old PC if I was gonna get this

    • XCelR8 on 17/09/2018 - 19:59

      As long as you are swapping your psu.
      This won't handle a 1080.

      • blue2609 on 17/09/2018 - 21:17

        @Johnny-Kun, @XCelR8,

        Apparently, according to @burrtotron below, the case is too small for a custom GTX 1080 or GTX 1070 unless they're the single fan model which is not good.

    • dan2k on 18/09/2018 - 10:26

      i5-8400 is VR ready, and the 1060 GPU is certainly VR ready - I use this exact setup with my Oculus Rift and it works fine.
      I'd consider the 1060 to be a minimum for VR.

  • siegfried on 17/09/2018 - 20:06

    just curious about the fan.
    It has 1 fan installed which is at the front, and the hot air is gonna blow towards the front which is basically where i am?

    Would it be better off if i install another fan at rear and change the direction of pre-installed fan?

    i actually don't mind this at all. It is almost 50% off from my own build which i intend to get it during Cyber Monday.

    • ode1online on 17/09/2018 - 20:14

      Actually id expect the FAN In front will draw in air and send air into the case, id definitely add more fans if the case allows.

      • siegfried on 17/09/2018 - 20:46

        If the front fan draw air into the case, good luck to the PC during summer time.
        The spec sheet says the case allow 2 more fans (rear 80mm and side 120mm).

        Now i am thinking twice about this PC

          @siegfried

          What do you mean mate? Most PC builds have cases at the front as intake to get cool air into the case and the fans at the back/top of the PC will take the hot air out. It's generally always been like that for any PC builds regardless of what season you're in.

        • ode1online on 17/09/2018 - 21:27

          Id be asking the seller about the specifics of the computer build, fans are easily added and rearranged after the fact.
          Fans are not the problem with this build, lots of info on youtube about best fan placement and direction.

  • badonde on 17/09/2018 - 21:01
    +6

    Just be aware with this the max GPU length is 230mm which is too small for a 1070 or 1080 unless it's a single fan one (not ideal as the case cooling will already be pretty bad)

    If you're getting it best to stick with the included GPU as anything more won't fit and too much for PSU as above have said.

      There's this one mate for $1,129.65. This one is equipped with i7 8700 + GTX 1060 but only 1TB HDD with no 120GB SSD and it doesn't come with monitor, keyboard/mouse

      • mikezillakind on 17/09/2018 - 22:14

        not to bad but what about A K variant ? with ether a 1080ti or with out ?

          This vendor doesn't sell anything with those parts.

          But I'm sure if you have a search you can find something good to share!

  • nmcc08 on 18/09/2018 - 08:21

    I bought a pc off these guys when they were called Origin pc, nothing but trouble the pc reset itself like 5 times a week at random times. Sent it back and they reckon there was nothing wrong with it after doing "tests" to replicate the problem, received it back and resetted itself within 5 mins. Did some research and found out in my event log that it had this error code that pointed to a faulty power supply but they wouldn't admit fault even after showing them a sceen shot of each and every time it resetted itself, but finally after doing a paypal case against them they admitted I was right and sent me a full refund. Their techs are a bunch of school kids who don't know dog shit, just thought I'd warn you guys.

      With all of the horror stories and precautions and stories like this I'm starting to regret posting this deal on ozbargain. Maybe not the smartest choice by me….

      I was hoping to post a really good deal but I don't know man, if it's this dodgy then it's not worth it.

      • dan2k on 18/09/2018 - 10:32

        Nah people need to be informed. I think this PC would cost ~$1200 for a local PC shop build, without the monitor. There's not much margin in PC parts.
        So what would a reasonable person expect if paying ~$800, delivered with a screen?
        It might be ok, it might not. So if other people have had a bad experience that just informs us all.
        and lets face it, some people just like to vent, and they probably feel better now too so you've done the right thing.
