Great specs & price from our friends at TechFast. Consider upgrading to 16GB RAM & 240GB SSD for just $98 extra and you'll have a very capable 1080P gaming desktop. Doubt you'll find anything near this price. Apply code ARSE-RYZ for discount, with delivery anywhere in Australia. Offer ends Nov 10, unless sold out or withdrawn prior. Enjoy :)
GPU qualifies for a free game via AMD's Raise the Game promo. Redeemable here.
Bit of an Apples to Oranges comparison here…what are the full specifications you received for the $1000 PC you bought in 2012?
GPU: Intel HD 4000
Would not be surprised lmao, -1000% in gaming performance
@Korban Dallas: Just no. This computer is way better than yours.
https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/AMD-HD-7770-vs-AMD-RX-… - Radeon 580 is +304% better than your 7770 not including 12% better cpu than your i5 3770 that I posted earlier.
@vid_ghost: not this cpu though, this is still zen+ architecture and not zen 2, and even then intel has the clock advantage. plus the 3200g is only 4core/4thread, the 4c/8t i7 will be more future proof.
but the good thing about this build is it is relatively easy to upgrade to a better cpu down the line
@Korban Dallas: The so called 'Entry Level' GPU in this PC absolutely demolishes your Radeon 7770… No where near GPU performance… And that's the most important when gaming unless your processor is bottlenecking
Really??
Some bench tests would suggest that Ryzen 3200G is comparable to i7 3770 if not better.
And do you really have a GPU that came out 2012 or earlier that's better than RX580 ??
That's not my point. I am not here to gloat. What I am saying is you could potentially get a system a few years old for the same price if not less and better performance which can also still be upgraded at some point.
My comparison was extreme. However, what about a system from 2018 or 2019?
That is what I was trying to suggest, but I just got bashed for comparing.
… same price if not less and better performance.
What ?
3DMark Fire Strike Graphics Score
RX580 : 14,878 pts
HD7770 : 3,446 pts

430 % slower
@Korban Dallas: Please stop trolling. Do your research into the prices and realise that you’re not making sense, if somehow you’re not trolling.
@Korban Dallas: You also should factor in that this system is brand new, whereas any system second hand could have a failure at any time.
Any saving would be minimal with this big down side
@Shoocat: If you bought a $1k PC in 2012 how is it legitimate to complain about a $469 PC in 2019?
I bought a $50k Audi in 2012. I think a $23k Toyota Corolla in 2019 is crap.
Same lack of sense.
Spec out a $1k PC from Techfast and come back lol… what a clown.
highly doubt it.
500$ that has all the bells and whistler brand new.
cpu compare is close a quick search
also remember buying as a whole from retailer you have warranty which worth something.
It would suggest based on benchmark 14% performance difference
unless u had like crossfire hd7970s in that system which i doubt u got for only 1k…
it wont be faster than this for gaming.
This! And the price is now half with warranty.
No.
Your $1k 2012 PC is 1000% slower on gaming performance, which is what this build advertised for.
The CPU may be comparable, but I can guarantee you no single GPU bought in 2012 is keeping up with a 580.
https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i7-3770-vs-… - 12% Better according to Userbenchmark.
check out actual benchmarks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKDvZ5ugv_w
the 3200g is a minor clock speed bump on the 2200g
Muy muy bien!
4 or 8 gig 580
1gb
i dont know if this is my feeling .why the game is running so slow ?
What do you mean? Take note of the FPS, not the compressed youtube video. Its most likely running at 30fps so this doesn't give a good example of the quality.
Don’t expect the video to be a 1:1 reference of your experience. It’s someone’s recording of it, compressed and uploaded to Youtube. Look at the numbers on the screen to get an idea of what to expect.
I should have got this instead of the 3500x - GTX 1660 deal last week and saved $160. Oh well
I built 2200g APU system for $350 just 2 months ago
This brand new system with RX580 just $100 more
Shoot myself
Yeh I know what you’re feeling. I bought the same one as this I would’ve saved even more!!!
I also got the 1660 deal last week, is this system not all that much different?
The 1660 is better but I don't know if it's $160 better
Thanks for another beatdown TA!…I think?
Lots of high spec rigs here with original end dates extended to this weekend.
My god this is a good price if it works well.
Mine didn’t work
Less games and options. Less controller support. Higher prices and have to pay for online gaming.
Consoles don't fit in the computer category
If you're comparing xbox/ps4 with a PC of the same price, I guarantee you the consoles will be more expensive in the long term because of running cost (most important that comes to mind is paid multiplayer, eugh).
Hi Luke,
I can't find any active deals on R5-3600/1660ti or R5-3600/2060Super
Any chance of offering one?
Hi mate. We're getting 1660 Super instead of 1660 Ti now, and are offering the Ryzen 5 3500X as the "core" value CPU as it's cheaper than 3600 for the same gaming performance. TA's last beatdown was for that system, where the 1660 Super Upgrade is +$99 and 3600 is +$150. Our pricing on 3500X is very low so the 3600 is comparatively more expensive than previously due to quantities/deals.
Hi Luke,
Do you have an ETA for the 3500x at the moment? Thanks.
Systems shipping from next week. Have you ordered? Happy to provide an estimate via PM if so.
Hey Luke, if I've paid for an upgrade with the 3500x system to the 1600TI, will it still include the Ti or will it now be swapped for the Super?
Hi mate, 1660 Ti orders will be fulfilled as Tis but all current and futures will get the Super.
how would the new cod online be on this pc? at 1920x1080
20-30fps
70 FPS on Med
With a Ryzen 5, I've seen benchmarks around 70fps on Ultra 1080p so Im guessing this build would run 60fps+ on High
Reasonably. But I would be to hopeful. Game crashes every 5 damned seconds.
Bought this similar PC from techfast early this year (except for more fancy RGB case), no issue playing in 1080p on my end (DMC5 and RE2)
I know I've commented on a lot of these deals recently, but dang, this entry level combo might just be the one.
Thanks team
See you on the next post :D
Always great deals. Just wondering if it is possible to get a deal on one without the GPU? Parent's computer just kicked it so need something to meet their needs (internet, outlook and some videos).
The reason this deal exists is because of the cheap rx580 cards that they scored.. removing the rx580 probably wouldn't decrease the overall price by as much as you'd think
I know next to nothing about computers, but out of curiosity, how much would it cost for the best possible desktop you could build?
People spend like $5000 if they're going all out on a new high end enthusiast system..
Oh you can spend more than that ;)
SLI Titans will set you back $6000 to start with and that's just the video cards sorted.
Maybe you want 14 cores at 5.2Ghz and you managed to get the $2,800 (USD) XE processor. That's just the CPU done next …
Then you could go nuts with 2TB NVMe in RAID configuration or (profanity) it just build a RAM disk for yourself and buy a few TB of RAM for your system storage.
Keep going mate, the amount one could spend on a custom desktop is pretty limitless 'these days'.
RX580 is just entry level now. wow…
How is that 'wow'?
Tech stuff. They get old.
200$ it is entry price.
Damn these deals are so good, it's amazing you guys manage a profit after GST.
Who said we do?
Step 1. Make PCs and sell below cost
Step 2. ???
Step 3. Profit
If it had 500gb SSD I would have pulled the trigger - 120GB is a joke for gaming
Doesn’t cost that much for more storage
Tell that to tech fast
Always enjoy your trigger contributions Bongo. The upgrade option exists and for +$78 for a 480GB I think it stacks up OK.
Wouldn’t it be less profitable for you if I buy a new one for less than $50 and sell the 120gb ssd? Hard pass anyway because too much hassle for a new system.
Swap a drive = too much hassle lol? Do you want it cheap or do you want it done for you? You can't have both mate
@scottySK: Old saying… people who can, DO. People who can't, COMPLAIN… and usually are quite vocal about it and their inability to do things for themselves.
Techfast we're so close yet again, maybe next time they will nail it😂
Would this work well as a development desktop, running visual studio, multiple SQL server instances, office etc
Would recommend a faster CPU like a ryzen 5 3600 for development.
This is more of a gaming build.
Thanks for the reply Nitro
This seems to be a great deal but should I add the extra 8gigs of ram, bigger ssd to 240gig, 1tb hard drive and wifi adapter and keep everything else the same, It would come to $655 shipped, I'm need help I really want a PC but I'm wanting to be careful with my purchase.
Obviously its my business, but comparatively in the market you're several hundred dollars in front still with all of those.
More like couple hundred but you get a plastic case, slow ram, and no name/ unrated PSU, and no activated OS UNLESS you upgrade - the hidden downside many people not aware of. But great business to you Luke
To be fair it’s a metal frame with a plastic body type of case - overheats more easily.
Well,
Best case scenario buying parts
GPU = $180
CPU = $130
Motherboard = $80
Total = $390
= $80 for:
plastic case
slow ram
no name/ unrated PSU
and no activated OS
Could you please let me know where to get for $80
A non plastic case + fast ram + good PSU, I will disregard the OS
@UrbionPT: It’s not a good PSU lol but will probably work for the warranty period. Just don’t expect years from it
@MuddyClear: I’ve got about 4 PCs at home I’ve had for 5+ years with no name PSUs and they’re still working fine
@Danstar: You must be very lucky as there are plenty more people out there who didn’t have your kind of luck with no name/unrated PSU. You generally get what you pay for.
Keeping it as it is will provide the best performance per dollar.. buy more storage later and add it in yourself.. 8gb probably enough for now really, add more later if necessary
Is it worth upgrading from the 550w power supply to one of the others 700w plus $39, 750w bronze +99 $750w gold plus $250, I don't think the last to I would do but maybe the plus $38 unless it's junk.
This system won't be using anywhere close to 700w and more wattage does not mean you'll be getting a safer power supply nor will it be more efficient. The $99 option is ok if you don't want to (or know how to) switch out a power supply but you can definitely score a 80+ gold power supply for the same money from a reputable brand, it just might not be 750w unless you get a good deal, but should be around 500-650w.
I've been looking at this for hours, The case is junk so I don't think anyone should even use it but the cases on offer are actually cheaper to buy then it is with there upgrade prices Same with SSD, Power supply and everything really so you probaly just order this and Chuck out the other components or use where possible and upgrade them with cheaper better parts and utilise the graphics card, Upgrade the mother board to the 350 and the Cpu is what I'm thinking, But I've never done it before but I don't think it's rocket science I don't think it will be a cakewalk however but I think it's exciting probaly to do, I think there making there money on the upgrades.
Yes, if you do buy this, I recommend you upgrade all the important components yourself within a year and other components if you feel like it. Honestly the only part that you should replace asap is the psu since if it dies and kills your computer, you'll have to deal with customer support and it could take 2 months to get your pc back. Other components like the cpu and ram you can upgrade when you feel like it or have spare change. Storage is very cheap so you can just look for a deal on a 1tb or 2tb hard drive and you should be set to download heaps of games. Also note that you can sell the parts you switch out.
If you have a mate that could help you out with computers it could save time, but anyone (mostly) can do this with enough patience and youtube video watching. The most important thing is to know where and how to plug something in before doing so.
Overall some of the components in the computer aren't great, but there quite good for the price as you probably won't get something this good for this price anywhere else.
Replace the PSU immediately if you get this system with a Corsair or themaltake or one of the known brands. for about $50 - 60 and keep this as just a temp backup. You don't want this junk PSU taking out vital components if it goes booooom!!
What is the turn around time? If I order one now will I receive before Christmas?
Absolutely. We're getting busy but nothing like a month in order to build to ship times.
