but isnt dell would be using better case/hardware inside? (genuine question)
True, but for this machine, just swap the PSU and you should be good too.
The Dell will be using the bare minimum psu and mb. Also consider if you wanted to swap the psu or mb or put the system into a different case those parts may not be atx compatible.
I watched a YouTube video that went into the parts some Dell desktops use. Some inspiron gaming desktops use Chinese generic GPUs, and I don't mean Colorful- actually unbranded.
Not really. Dell uses cheap hardware, the difference is that they manufacture 10k of them, so they know what problems to expect, and they will have better warranty service (probably).
The disadvantage is that you probably can't upgrade much in the dell.
Eh, maybe better brands. But Techfast seems to use the "meh branding, but will work" approach.
Mind that, the only part that this would even be a concern with within their builds are the PSU's.
Reasonable value, but I recommend against A320 mobos. You won't be getting the most out of your 2600 as it does not allow overclocks.
While true, these pre-builts are really for people without a lot of PC-knowledge to begin with. Anyone looking to OC really shouldn't be buying pre-builts to begin with, because things like cooling, airflow, voltage quality, etc all become incredibly more important.
For all the effort that I put into overclocking when I was younger, I would have been better off just buying slightly better hardware.
Now I just run everything at stock.
Eh. When you were younger you probably had a lot more time/energy/curiosity to spare than money. I know that that was the case for me. Plus, the process of OC'ing is half the fun, it's a practical puzzle.
@macrocephalic: Oh definitely. Especially back then when OC'ing stuff would 100% void your warranty, not the smartest.
This doesn't include a Windows 10 licence, just a heads up.
Mind that, according to the rep I spoke with (different pc, but likely still applies) it'll come with the "unactivated" version installed.
The $10 ebay ones seem to work just fine.
how do they work? Do you just buy a serial key and activate your existing win10 with it? or do you have to download/install their version?
Definitely advisable for the long term. But in the short if you don't want to invest more the unactivated version will work.
Bit off topic but Where can we get win 7 key (retail) for cheap but legit?
wouldn't building it yourself be cheaper? ie buy at MSY etc?
Maybe not cheaper, techfast have pretty dam good priced PCs. But definitely better for the long term with heavier users.
With price, to put it into perspective the 2600 is about $240 (not sure on current pricing, running off pricing a few months back), $350 for the graphics card, $100 for RAM, $80 for the case. That's without storage, a MoBo and PSU.
TL;DR, the parts of this that aren't bad alone make up the price of the PC. MoBo, PSU and SSD are meh, but the SSD will more than do (bar size), the MoBo is okay if you're not overclocking or anything (just okay) and the PSU…I'd swap the PSU.
In other words, the bad parts are still usable.
Da faqqqqqqq, I paid 1.1k for Dell variant like a month and a bit ago.
