High Spec PCs: R9-3900X from $1699 / Threadripper 1950X from $1499 + Game Codes + $29 Delivery @ TechFast

1780
3900X-HIGH1950X-HIGH

Hi all,

Based on feedback/requests for higher end Ryzen 9 and productivity/workstation type builds, this is what we've come up with. We have 1950X Threadrippers to clear so the pricing is pretty hot, but don't have any of the newer ones in or on the horizon.

Spec-wise, there's obviously a billion variations possible, so what is offered here is what is doable for now (i.e. can't tailor any further than this around motherboard spec, etc).

In both builds, the idea is to offer the RX 580 8GB, still a very capable card, as the lowest possible entry point GPU-wise, as we can't offer GPU-less systems due to warranty/testing complications. So if you wanted to install your own, this might be your best bet [note that warranty implications may arise if a self-installed component is found to be the cause of or contributing to the issue requiring service]. RX 5700 XT, RTX 2080 Super and RTX 2080 Ti are also offered and priced below.

Ryzen 9 3900X System:

Spec:
- Ryzen 9 3900X
- 16GB 3200MHz RAM (32GB and 64GB upgrades available)
- 240GB NVME m.2 SSD (1TB NVMe upgrade available)
- X570 Motherboard (brand/model may vary but currently using MSI Gaming Plus. Upgrade to Asus Tuf WiFi X570 option added for $59)
- 750W 80+ Bronze PSU (Thermaltake Smart BX1)
- Thermaltake Versa J24 RGB Edition case
Prices after 3900X-HIGH
- with RX 580 8GB: $1699
- with RX 5700 XT: $2199
- with RTX 2080 Super: $2399
- with RTX 2080 Ti: $2899 (strongly recommended bordering on required 750W 80+ Gold upgrade for $99) EDIT 6/11: $100 increase to 2080 Ti pricing (previous orders honored, new orders to pay additional $100)

Link: https://techfast.com.au/products/amd-ryzen-9-3900x-rtx-2080-…

Threadripper 1950X System:

Spec:
- Threadripper 1950X
- 16GB 3200MHz RAM (32GB and 64GB upgrades available)
- 1TB SATA 2.5" SSD (1TB NVMe upgrade available)
- MSI SLI PLus X399 Motherboard (brand/model may vary but that should be available for the majority)
- 240mm liquid cooler (brand/model may vary but will be brand name)
- 750W 80+ Bronze PSU (Thermaltake Smart BX1)
- Thermaltake Versa J24 RGB Edition case
Prices after 1950X-HIGH
- with RX 580 8GB: $1499
- with RX 5700 XT: $1999
- with RTX 2080 Super: $2199
- with RTX 2080 Ti: $2699 (strongly recommended bordering on required 750W 80+ Gold upgrade for $99) EDIT 6/11: $100 increase to 2080 Ti pricing (previous orders honored, new orders to pay additional $100)

Link: https://techfast.com.au/products/amd-ryzen-threadripper-1950…

16GB and 32GB RAM are currently from Team (T-Force and NightHawk respectively ATM) and 64GB upgrade will likely be G.Skill Trident Z 4x16 [special order, minimum 2 weeks to come in]; all models may vary. 2080 Supers have been MSI Ventus and Galax EX and will likely continue. SSD models will vary.

  • Is that the Asus TUF X570-Plus Gaming (WiFi) mobo? I'm thinking about buying the 2080 Super + 3900X. I know the Wraith Prism is a decent stock cooler but I'd rather use a 3rd-party CPU cooler like Noctua NH-U14S because my room temperature gets very hot in the summer and I don't use aircon and I don't know how to assemble a CPU cooler. The Versa J24 is a decent case but I think it can't fit the Noctua NH-U14S in. Hopefully the GPU is MSI or Galax. PSU is decent but if I can I'd also like to change it to Corsair RM650X. I don't mind paying more for them but otherwise everything looks pretty good.

  • +1

    Last question from me - if we pick unassembled do the parts come in full retail packaging?

    • +2

      Where we receive them as such, yes absolutely. Some products, for example Biostar RX 580s, we receive OEM/bulk packaged goods, so we package them securely in alternative packaging for transport. But where we get retail packaging, you get retail packaging.

  • +1

    What range of brands / models we looking at for water cooling on the 3900x

    I'm assuming front mounted radiator?

    • 3900X cooler would be H100x or similar.

  • Hi Luke,
    I am thinking a system with:
    Must: 4 or more RAM slots & 4 or more SATA3.0 slots & 2 or more PCI-E 3.0 slots.
    Good to have: 3600 & 2080S.

    • Hi mate, those look doable on the above configurations. To go down in the CPU you would need to look at the 3500X / 2080 Super system and upgrade the mobo to X570 and CPU to 3600. Cheers

  • +3

    Great deal, I just ordered a new rig.
    3900X with the RTX 2080 SUPER graphics card

    It'll match well with my Acer Predator X34P, and just in time for RDR2

    My current rig is getting a bit rusty, i7 930 and other components from back in 2010. However I did upgrade the graphics card to a GTX970 in 2015 to give it some life.

    • +1

      Damn, you sound like my clone. I have i7 950 and upgraded to a ASUS GTX980 in 2015

  • +1

    Somehow you've read my mind on what I'm after. Was going to just replace my aging i7 950, Gigabyte x58 MB, and do the memory ……. but this deal.

    So 2 questions before purchase as I can't find the info quickly:

    Where are you guys based and any chance of getting 3600MHz memory?

    • We're in Adelaide. No plans to offer 3600MHz at this stage so if it's a must you might look at onselling the base RAM and adding your own in.

      • Thanks Luke. One more quick question, what are the NVMe drives. Trying to workout if they're SLC, QLC etc

        • The NVMe will likely be from Crucial or equivalent brand and will be average level in the performance scheme of things.

          • +1

            @luketechfast: Thanks for the information Luke, appreciate your time.

            It was tough but unfortunately I've decided against as knowing (choosing) the brands/models is important to me, also when I do a quick price check through PCCG I find I'd only be saving $1 on parts, $12 on freight, and the cost of assembly (which I don't mind doing myself).

            My +1 for the deal remains though as it's a huge cost saving for those who wish to avoid building the system themselves. I also applaud the effort it must take to stay so active in these forums while been swamped with machines to build and send - you do fine work sir.

      • Wow! I didn't know you guys are in Adelaide. Any chance for a local pick up, Luke?

        • +1

          Sure, just leave a note in the Notes field on the Cart page, and shipping will be refunded at the time of pickup, just in case it needs to be shipped in the end.

        • What suburb would pickup be from ?

          • @Squeezy: I think they're located in Beverly (according to Google).

  • I'd buy the 3900X + 2080 Super or 2080 Ti if there's an option for CPU air cooling instead of liquid cooling because I'm still too scared to use liquid cooling.

    • Comes stock standard with air cooling

      • Sorry I meant a better 3rd-party air cooling like the Noctua.

        • The stock cooler is free why not just add this yourself later. Is super simple.

  • +1

    What brand is the 750W 80+ Gold Power and the 2080ti?

    • +2

      80+ Gold is Gigabyte G750H at this stage. 2080 Ti likely Galax or MSI.

  • Pls sell us the the PC without the RAM/GPU/PSU thx

    • +1

      Nocandosozkthxbye :P

  • +1

    Hi Luke, great deal. Couple of questions:

    1) What is the brand of the NVMe SSD for the 1 TB variant?
    2) Any aftermarket air cooler option? looking at the 3900x deal

    • +1

      1TB will likely be from Crucial I believe but we are currently looking at the options. It almost certainly wouldn't be a Samsung etc.

      We haven't looked too far into it but I might ask Operations as we've had a couple of enquiries.

      • Yes. Appreciated. Something like Noctua NH-U12A or NH-D15S would be awesome unless there are better ones. NH-U14S would also be great though it needs a bigger case. Thank you very much Sir.

    • +1

      The two we have available to us is the Antec C400 (added, $59) or the Deepcool Fryzen (Ops checking pricing, not yet live). This code/product will still be available after this deal "officially" expires if you need it, so just let me know.

  • +1

    Hey Luke,

    Is there any deadlines to this deal or like limited units (specifically,r9 + 2080super).

    • +2

      I extended the deal to Nov 4 and we probably won't run an ultra high end offering for a little while afterwards. Units shouldn't be an issue.

      • +1

        Also another question - will the Graphics Card be shipped unassembled? (potential sag during shipping), or is that something to be requested?

        • +1

          That's a request, but definitely doable.

  • Sorry 1 other question before I pull the trigger whats roughly the time difference between getting it built/ sending parts

    • +1

      Unassembled orders skip build and testing, but are picked on the same day as other orders placed on that, to be fair to everyone. It's generally about a 2 day saving. These high end systems may be subject to slightly longer handling times to ensure quality, but it shouldn't be excessive by any means.

  • The Threadripper deal seems pretty good Value with the liquid cooler. Need to read up as last time I read up the threadripper was better than the ryzen but it seems the Ryzen might have upped the ante. Looking at primary use rendering 4K video / Lightroom processing.

    Will the Threadripper system be quieter given the specs on the Corsair cooler state 37 dBA ?

  • +1

    Thx for the replies and listening to feedback reg cases n mobo.. blew the budget a bit and ordered

  • Hi Techfast guys!

    I am interested in the 3900x with the Asus MOBO upgrade now that my Nintendo Switch order got cancelled and I have a bigger budget. My knowledge in desktops is very limited so if you could help with a few questions:

    1) Doesn't come with hard-disk or windows? Does that mean I can't use it straight right away on delivery?

    2) Hard drive I salvaged from old PC is a 808.8GB SATA / 32MB Cache. Can I install this into the computer? Would I need anything additional?

    3) Just confirming that my old DDR3 RAM sticks and my old GTX 660 TI GPU are pretty much useless now right?

    4) Can you tell me more about the liquid cooling upgrade option - Would someone not so computer-savy as myself be able to manage something like this? Is it needed or is the base cooling option fine? (Considering also could go for a GPU upgrade here)

    Thanks!

    • +1

      Howdy.
      1) Comes with m.2 SSD for fastest data transfer and any other storage, SSD or HDD, can be added in the configurator.
      Windows 10 Home is preinstalled along with graphics drivers and the system is stress tested before dispatch, so it runs out of the box. The option is yours to activate windows with a key from us, or elsewhere.

      2) If the drive has modern SATA power and data connectors it should be fine. You'll get a spare data cable in the accessories box.

      3) DDR3 yep goner, 660 Ti honeslty not sure but there are I think 5 generations since.

      4) If you haven't installed a liquid cooler before I wouldn't recommend it on a chip like this. There are tutorials but thermal paste application, coverage etc might be beyond a first timer and the chip is very exy to trial your skills on. The Stock Cooler is capable, depends how hard you want to push the system. 240mm cooling in particular is far superior.

      Cheers
      Luke

      • Hi Luke,
        Any chance of getting a CPU air cooler upgrade to Noctua NH-D15S or NH-D14 (2 fans version) or NH-U12A?

        • +1

          We had a look at air coolers and Antec C400 and Deepcool Fryzen were available from our suppliers.

          • +1

            @luketechfast: Can you add these air coolers as an upgrade for the systems? At a point where I won't be able to hold back then lol

            • @rainydays: Can you PM me on Monday to remind me to confirm with Ops and add it?

              • @luketechfast: Got it. Hopefully it doesn't add too much on top, stretching the budget as is!

  • +2

    Any chance for an NZXT case for these systems in the near future? Not too fond of this case's aesthetic. Also, if we order it assembled can we request the original packaging for the components as well?

    • +1

      Not sure we can get NZXT in enough quantity to offer them as an option without stock issues. We can try to send as much packaging but it would be flattened and sent inside the PC case box.

      • If not NZXT, maybe Phanteks or Deepcool or a better looking Thermaltake case. This one kind of looks like doo doo and poo poo

      • Also, is the USB wifi adapter you offer dual band?

  • Hi Luke, does this deal expire tonight? I'm just about ready to commit to an order, but am a novice when it comes to PCs/building them and had a few questions.

    Looking at getting the 3900X + 2080 Super:
    1) I've heard that the Thermaltake Versa J24 case has some potential QC issues (something about missing 2 motherboard standoffs), would this cause any problems down the line?

    2) I was thinking of adding either of the fan cooler options, but if I'm not planning on overclocking would the stock AMD cooler be sufficient? The only worry I had is that my PC room isn't really well ventilated and does get a bit hot sometimes especially in summer.

    Cheers!

    • +2

      Hi mate, the deal has expired here but the discount code is still valid for the time being.

      1) First I've heard of it. If it was missing anything we would add it in

      2) The better you can cool the system, the better off you'll be. A lot of people point desk fans at their PC to aid with airflow. The J24 case has excellent ventilation. If your budget can stretch to a CPU cooler, I'd go for it.

  • +2

    when does this end can u extend one more day

    • +1

      The deal has expired here but the discount code is still valid for the time being.

  • Luke, you have finally got me with a better case and motherboard optioned. Bought! How long am I expecting to receive the delivery?

    These are my upgrade for the 3900x system:
    RAM Upgrade: 16GB [3200MHz] to 32GB [3200MHz] DDR4 RAM (2 x 16GB Modules) × 1
    Mobo Upgrade: Bundled X570 to Asus Tuf WiFi X570 × 1
    SSD Upgrade: 240GB m.2 [NVMe] to 1TB m.2 [NVMe] Solid State Drive × 1
    GPU Upgrade: RX 580 8GB/GTX 1660 6GB to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER 8GB Graphics Card × 1

    • Thanks for the purchase! We should be around the 7-10 business day mark, just being realistic about our current order status with a few deals firing, but we have drastically ramped up internal resources accordingly.

      • So is it 7-10 business days or not?

        • Of course it's not I'm starting to get annoyed if it's not here by end of next week I'll be doing a credit card charge back

    • How much was the total after all the upgrades? Tia

      • +1

        https://photos.app.goo.gl/WNe4B1znHM3n6gTR8 I went with these upgrades and it ended up been 3460 hope this helps

        • $3460. Damn! Is that after you applied the discount code? Or it isn't applicable if upgrades are made? Thanks.

      • +3

        For my system and the listed upgrade as above post and after $300 discount end up to be 2,745.00 shipping included.
        I have seen some test and the included heat sink with the 3900x is very good. Although I don't play much game, it was said the AMD is much more efficient than the Intel equivalent, and gaming often utilised only a few cores; less power drainage and less heat as a result.

        • Ta. Appreciate it.

        • Have you received yours yet? I bought the exact same build. Would like to know how you're finding it.

          • @lemonteh: I ordered 1st Nov still not shipped

          • @lemonteh: I ordered this same build on the 31st Oct, not shipped yet…

            • @Koolness: Have you heard anything about your build

              • @chris666: Nah mate, I was gonna chase them up on Monday/Tuesday.

                • +1

                  @Koolness: Mine got shipped today

                  • @chris666: Nice!
                    No updates from my end.

                    • @Koolness: Received mine on Thursday 21 Nov.

                      • @Koolness: Received mine 27/11 with the wrong RAM :/ (sorted this morning via p/c to customer service).
                        Make sure you guys check that all your parts are as you have ordered!

                        • @lemonteh: I checked my components and ran benchmarks, all good.
                          However my case only came with 2 ssd tray bracket things, I think the manual says it's supposed to have a couple more… not sure. I'll have to check with them.

  • Really wish there was an option to pre-order a build with the 3950X D:

    Really great deals though!

  • -3

    "High Spec PCs" with RX 580 LOL.

  • Hi OP,

    I'm wondering if I could ask for different brand of RX580 and using Noctua for CPU cooling by paying extra.

  • -1

    Loving my 1920x 2080 build from techfast for $2100 6 months back.
    Will probably buy from them again in 5 years, maybe a 5970x on sTRX4..?

  • +2

    Hi Luke, I've finally pulled the trigger on this deal despite the many, many, MANY Techfast deals I've forgone the past year and several more sleepless nights dreaming of a 2080 Ti.

    I was wondering when I can expect this to be shipped seeing as I've asked for the 64GB RAM upgrade? Upgrades on the system are as follows:

    *240mm Liquid CPU Cooler
    *RAM Upgrade: 16GB [3200MHz] to 64GB [3200MHz] DDR4 RAM (Special Order - Extended Lead Time)
    *Mobo Upgrade: Bundled X570 to Asus Tuf WiFi X570
    *PSU Upgrade: 750W 80+ Bronze to 750W 80+ Gold Power Supply
    *SSD Upgrade: 240GB m.2 [NVMe] to 1TB m.2 [NVMe] Solid State Drive
    *GPU Upgrade: RX 580 8GB/GTX 1660 6GB to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti 11GB Graphics Card

    Thanks again for the great deals. Can't believe I've finally bought myself a great system at a good price after 7 years on my old gaming rig. Looking forward to seeing this monster on my desk. Cheers!

    • I've missed a few comments on previous deals being away. Can you email [email protected] with this enquiry and I'll get back to you tomorrow?

      • Just got to this. Done, and sent. Thanks again!

  • Damn these take forever to arrive :( Been 20 days counting. I'm sure it will be worth it.

    • PM me your details and I'll give you an update tomorrow

  • Hey Luke, I been trying to email you guys about my order and no responses. Keen on an update on my order and to ask a couple of things re the order itself. Thanks!

    • Hi mate, as far as I'm aware we're up to date with the Sales inbox so maybe not getting through? PM me.

      • Sorry mate, created this account just to check in and get an update, and won't let me PM because my account is too new lol. I'll email your support with my questions?

        • Mind posting a way for me to look for it (email address or display name) then you can delete it if you want once I've found it? Otherwise sure, [email protected]

          • @luketechfast: Sure (i'll delete this after you read it)

            Re: order #TECHFAST26792631

            Hi Guys,

            Been speaking to Luke on OzBargain. I had a couple of questions:

            I going to ask about upgrading the motherboard, but guessing too late now if it's built? No stress about that if it is.

            Also, one more other thing - I think the price i paid isn't right? I thought i put in the code (3900X-High) but it didn't seem to activate or something? A couple of friends were looking at the same deal and they tell me for them it's a few hundred lower.

  • Mine turned up today pretty happy with.. Couple of minor issues no aus psu plug and a few scratches on the case where the glass has been slid back in.. 1 day shipping from Adelaide to Newcastle 19 days to build including weekends

  • Hey Luke, let's say if I put in an order, can you let me know the dimensions of your delivery package? I need to check up with my local post to see if I can pick it up as I can't be home for the delivery.

    Edit: for assembled system I meant.

    • The package is the exact size of the outer box of the original PC tower you choose. Could you remind me to get the dimensions on Monday for you?

  • What cooler do you use for the Threadripper system?

    • H100i normally is most available

  • +1

    I have received my pc yesterday.
    Thank you for the 3 spare screws floating in the unit. I have to fetch it out by tilting the unit a few times.

    These are the components:
    1. Ram is T-Force Vulcan Z 3200.
    2. nvme is Crucial CT1000P1SSD8 1 TB
    3. MSI RTX2080 Super Ventus XS OC (happy with this)
    4. Thermaltake Smart BX1 750W 80 Plus Bronze Non Modular Power Supply.

    The unit cable run is very neat and despite the 3 floating screws I am happy with the workmanship so far. I have not fire it up yet.
