    Any deals on a gaming SFF pc.

    • Kangal on 07/11/2019 - 21:05
      +3

      No, there never will be. Either you have to get a Low-Profile dGPU and something like an OptiPlex.

      Or you have to get a SFF Case (eg SilverStone Rvz02) and build the PC inside that using discounted parts, or from a different build like this one.

    • Zazer on 08/11/2019 - 14:07

      Yeah, I doubt they'll do it for years, if ever. The vast majority of their clientele is just looking for a gaming PC, not with specific niche requirements such as SFF. They work on scale, volume and speed, so any SFF builds would not be deals if they even offered them. There's just nowhere near the same demand for it. You're welcome to buy the components from them unassembled and build SFF yourself but it's a little redundant to do that, might as well eBay part hunt.

    “750W PSU (should be Thermaltake Litepower)”

    It is or it isn’t, not should be.

    • N1NJ4W4RR10R on 07/11/2019 - 19:29

      Should be likely means will be until their stock runs out. It's that "I want to guarantee something but don't want to keep track of 10s of parts over threads to ensure our stock hasn't changed a few weeks after it was posted".

      • MuddyClear on 07/11/2019 - 19:40
        +9

        Well it could be false advertising where there was never any 750W PSU Thermaltake Litepower PSU or limited quantities of it to be of any significance. I rather it read "750W PSU Thermaltake Litepower for first [insert number here] units sold".

    • Spun on 07/11/2019 - 20:36

      That's the risk you take with these systems. There are usually no guarantees on what parts you are going to end up with, but the prices are almost always unbeatable.

      I've always built rigs by handpicking the exact parts I want, but it's time for me to upgrade and at these prices I'm finding it very hard not to pull the trigger on a 2080 Super build.

      • Zazer on 08/11/2019 - 14:08

        Can always upgrade piecemeal overtime. Would prioritise RAM and SSD, then PSU before the 1-year warranty expires.

    • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 07/11/2019 - 23:16

      We're just getting hold of initial 3500x deliveries so some systems are shipping this with our aim of getting back into 7 business days for all existing orders by next week.

    Damn nice deal! I ordered the last 3500x/5700 deal but paid more for lower specs (8gb RAM, extra for b350m, only 550w PSU).
    It hasnt been completely built yet, is there any chance of upgrading the order?

      Drop an email to their support. Luke was pretty helpful when I wanted changes after my order, in my case it was a minor change, but worth a shot I guess.

    Another awesome bargain , you will again techfast!!

    3500+5700 seems to be a winner

    • Kangal on 07/11/2019 - 21:16

      *3500X (= underclocked 3600. Very different to a base 3500)

      Yes, this deal is great.
      The CPU is great value, the GPU is great value, the PSU is great value, and the Case is great value.

      It would've been a little better if the memory speed was faster (3200MHz), and the Mobo was a B450 or X470 instead. Even if it was a cool $999 or a bit more pricey, that would've been very worth it. The SSD storage is a bit low at only 256GB, but there are plenty of deals for cheap 1TB SSD's (WD Blue3D m.2 is great value) and also for cheap 2TB HDDs.

      • hotdog85 on 07/11/2019 - 21:26
        +2

        Would you say it's worth it to pay $59 to upgrade the memory to 3200MHz and $99 to upgrade to the B450? What is the advantage of the B450 over the B350?

      • Harold Halfprice on 07/11/2019 - 21:34
        +3

        3500X = underclocked 3600

        Calling it an underclocked 3600 is not quite correct. It's the same base clock as the 3600, but only has 6 threads instead of 12.

        • Kangal on 08/11/2019 - 00:11
          +3

          Yeah, I worded it wrong.
          It is actually an undercut 3600, with the SMT disabled. I know there are people trying to fiddle with it and see if they can unlock SMT, just like how some people were able to flash say their HD7950 to HD7970, or their old Phenom CPUs.

          @hotdog85
          The extra bandwidth in memory is to speed up the "infinity fabric" so that there is better thread performance among the cores. It's also useful for any iGPUs if that was the case. The B450 mobo was designed to run Zen2 better, but more importantly you get PrecisionBoost (like Intel's Turbo Mode) working. There's also StoreMI which is like Intel's Optane or Storage Management, and seems to be working well.
          …The upgrade of these two details will likely cost an additional $50 or so, and I imagine that TechFast would pass on the costs to the customer without inflating it (ie not overcharging), this would make it really the best value option out there.

          Entry grade:
          8GB 2400MHz, No dGPU, 256GB SSD

    • cheapsuit on 07/11/2019 - 20:30

      I'm not associated but previously Luke has mentioned 7 business days to process the order and ship, so give a few days after that for shipping. Apparently there is a bit of a delay for 3500x systems though as they were awaiting stock and had a large amount of orders.

    • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 07/11/2019 - 23:12

      Yep cheapsuit is right, but of a hump getting over initial 3500x orders but most orders placed now should be dispatched within 7-10 business days.

    Wow! Between this and the 2800 super deal, really impressed by your prices so far.
    Just to confirm, is the 5700xt a reference card or branded with customised cooling. Cause from what i can tell from reviews the thermals are kinda terrible on the reference card.
    If not, is there a chance we will be seeing custom 5700xt in future deals? i.e. Gigabyte, Power color, asus etc.
    Don't mind holding out a couple of months if that's the case.

    Can you explain the price rise in this system:
    https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Ryzen-5-3600-RX-5700-8GB-120GB-S…

    Was $1099, now $1299 just as the 20% discount coupon kicks off ?

    It's still OK value, but 20% off $1099 was a lot better deal.

    On face value it looks like a pure price jack.

    • Dimz on 08/11/2019 - 17:44

      From what I can recall, they weren't supposed to be part of the sale but just had issues getting themselves removed.

        • djkelly69 on 08/11/2019 - 22:40

          The '20% off select retailers' discounts are split between eBay and retailer. Exact figures seem to vary, but consensus seems to be that they wear about 10% each.

          10% off sitewide is different, that is when it is all on eBay.

          Also I believe the price on that system went up a few days after the current discount code had started.

          • aussietivoman on 08/11/2019 - 23:16

            @djkelly69: I have worked in a larger retailer on eBay then techfast.

            Every campaign in the 5 years I did it, PayPal and EBAY funded 100% of the discount…

            What surprises me is EBAY was not keen to do it if your positive feedback rating wasnt high - at <95% I would have thought Techfast is under threat of losing these deals.

          • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 10/11/2019 - 06:33

            @djkelly69: This is roughly correct
            EBay do not fund all of the larger deals.

            • Danstar on 10/11/2019 - 10:26

              @luketechfast: So are you guys still not going to honour any of those eBay purchases made with the discount ?

    • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 08/11/2019 - 17:57

      Thanks for checking in. Since our main focus is now the 3500X we are buying them in the quantities we used to source 3600 in, so our pricing for 3600 has risen dramatically due to reduced quantities, and the pricing of 3600 systems has risen accordingly.

      The 3500X is where our best value now lies, and our website will always provide the best possible pricing because of associated selling fees etc.

      • aussietivoman on 08/11/2019 - 18:55

        Thanks for the clarification. Personally I'd prefer the faster 3600 but each to his own.

        My son is thinking of doing a 3600 build (his first) and the original $1099 less 20% would gave been too good to refuse.

    For those people out there that aren't computer programmers or computer savvy and are interested in having one of these gaming systems built by Techfast, maybe for a gift for a teenager (like me) and have a few questions regarding your requirements or don't know where to start, I would strongly suggest you call Techfast support on 1300 898 956 or email [email protected] or email and request a call back. I did a couple of times and they were very helpful when choosing the machine and upgrades.They even sourced and packaged a disc drive for my system. I cant recommend them highly enough at this stage.

        I found that sending them an email with my phone number and requesting a call back worked well for me. They called back within about 20mins. Maybe give that a try.

    How long does it take to ship?

    • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 22/11/2019 - 10:58

      Build times will average 10 business days or less from here on.

    I purchased this build on the 13th of November. So should I be expecting it by the end of next week at latest ?

      +1

      Yep that's the plan!

    Will the warranty be void if I install a Wi-Fi card or M.2 SSD?

    • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 24/11/2019 - 10:48

      If additions are found to be contributing to or the cause of a warranty related claim, there may be implications, and I think that makes sense as we didn't provide them.

        Ok, that's good. Thanks for the insight.

    Will a similar deal to this be coming back for Black Friday?
