  • esq on 28/11/2019 - 13:55

    is the 1660S worth the extra 229 compared to the rx580?

    Considering yolo-ing into the 5700xt as well, cant tell if this is good value for the extra 500, I'm interested in what ozb reckons.

    • garbage man on 28/11/2019 - 14:05

      As always, it depends. One thing to note is that driver optimisations mean that some productivity software gets a decent boost using NVIDIA over AMD for similar specced GPUs. See puget systems website for benchmarks and comparisons.

    • arkie0 on 28/11/2019 - 14:11
      +4

      Good deal in its base form, the upgrades are where you lose a little value.

      999 with RX580, Biostar RX580 worth approx $200-$250.

      +$500 for 5700 XT, MSI Mech can be bought currently for $550 separately.

      Better of selling the 580 separately +$200 and buying the 5700XT -$550, net $350 for the XT upgrade. This is assuming you can sell 580 for $200.

      Similar value loss for all their upgrades unless discounted.

      • scottySK on 28/11/2019 - 14:49

        You'd get less than $200 because it'll be sold as a used part

        • arkie0 on 28/11/2019 - 15:08

          I did a quick look on OzB/ebay/staticice, RX580 while not Biostar are going for $250+… So I said 200 for best case.

        • thepigs on 28/11/2019 - 15:28

          maybe you could get them to assemble everything EXCEPT the gpu!

          • scottySK on 28/11/2019 - 16:21

            @thepigs: You'd pay like $50 less.. I'd rather get the card and sell for $140 - $200 (best case)

            • thepigs on 28/11/2019 - 16:34

              @scottySK: I mean get them to ship the whole PC assembled but the GPU still in its box…

              • scottySK on 28/11/2019 - 17:25

                @thepigs: Ah yep, definitely ideal if you only want to sell it on

    • camelthief on 28/11/2019 - 15:24

      Wait a few days until they have this build with the 5700XT as standard it should be a bit cheaper than adding it on.

      Unfortunately not, the eBay side of things really doesn't work for us at the moment for heavily discount items.

      • Jaduqimon on 28/11/2019 - 14:03

        i think he means list it for a higher price on ebay to take into account the fees because he might have discounted ebay giftcards

        • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 28/11/2019 - 14:06
          +6

          Yeah. But higher would be way higher, not a little higher. eBay isn't working for us or the customer with seller fees etc. Needs a review on what systems are best placed there, but these sorts of deals are nowhere near possible, to the point where the increase needed would put anyone off.

          • Jaduqimon on 28/11/2019 - 14:15

            @luketechfast: ahh ok i thought it was just increasing the price by 15% ish cuz thats the fee ebay charges for casual sellers so might be different for you guys. fair enough.

          • parallelparadox on 28/11/2019 - 17:03

            @luketechfast: Feebay charge way too much fees. Normal account selling anything is total of around 17% fees when including PayPal.

    • Cataclysm on 28/11/2019 - 14:03

      • Zarlia on 28/11/2019 - 14:50

        Most likely they have discounted gift cards to spend

  • garbage man on 28/11/2019 - 14:06

    Any chance we can see a low-cost 8gb NVIDIA card for video editors? A 1660s or 2060s would do it.

    • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 28/11/2019 - 14:08

      The 1660 Super is there for + $119. The previous 3700X/1660 Halloween pricing isn't achievable because of non super 1660s not being available at that price anymore, so 1660 Super is the one we can get and that's the lowest price point.

      • garbage man on 28/11/2019 - 14:13

        Thanks for the quick reply.

        My mistake, I was mainly asking about 8gb cards and for some reason I thought there was an 8gb variant of the 1660s.

  • Gazette on 28/11/2019 - 14:18

    Which particular Galax 2080 Super variant do these come with? looking to avoid single blower fan models

      1-click OC for the Galax 2080 Super. We don't use any blower GPUs.

      Bundled PSU is Thermaltake Litepower and Gold is Gigabyte G750H.

      from my research, more core is better for video and photo + multi tasking, but R5 will do, if you are budget limited.
      premiere pro still need proxies on R5

    • IJustKnowStuff on 28/11/2019 - 15:25

    Just wondering what everyone's opinion on USB wifi-adaptors are? The last one i used was absolutely horrid, and think I've been hesitant to get a new pc without inbuilt wifi and BT.

    • netsurfer on 28/11/2019 - 15:24

      I just used a PCIe to m.2 Wifi adapter card, paired it with Intel AX200. WiFi 6 + Bluetooth 5 sorted. You don't need to buy an expensive motherboard to get that kind of combo if you really want WiFi. The only tricky part is installing the antenna connectors to the AX200 is tricky because the connectors are so small. Connectors must be installed properly otherwise the WiFi card won't work.

      USB WiFi adapters, my experience is that, feeBay ones might be dodgy. Branded ones - cheap one have limited speed, above average one is far too expensive to be worthwhile.

      • dny on 28/11/2019 - 15:34

    • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 28/11/2019 - 17:26

      Standard is MSI Pro VDH. We're looking at an ATX B450 with Wi-Fi but haven't confirmed yet is MSI Mortar OK with prospective buyers? Upgrade price would apply.

      • cristianx on 28/11/2019 - 18:01

        MSI Mortar b450m for the $99 upgrade would be perfect. Let me know if that can be arranged!

        • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 29/11/2019 - 14:43

          MSI Mortar B450 added for $129 (non WiFi - not enough stock available to guarantee on that model).

      • garbage man on 28/11/2019 - 20:32

        Also interested if MSI Mortar is the mobo supplied for the "AMD B450M Motherboard $99.00" upgrade option.

      • N1NJ4W4RR10R on 28/11/2019 - 21:04

        If you can snag the gigabyte auros pro elites for that wifi board it'd probably be the best. Inferior hardware to the gaming pro carbon but gigabyte is the best in regards to software support this gen afaik. The gaming pro carbons bios is also fairly rough thanks to the bios chip stuff.

        On the upgrade option. The mortar is an excellent board, pretty much a tomahawk in m-atx form factor. Although I'd be curious to know if that'd be the max or non max version?

      • jazeng on 28/11/2019 - 21:41

      Second - 3700x and I'll buy straight away.

    • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 28/11/2019 - 16:53

      This is the equivalent due to our supplier promotion. It doesn't work to go down to 3700X for less in terms of the pricng available to us. So it's 3800X at 3700X pricing. 1660 also not available pricing wise at the moment, hence Super upgrade for $119 rather than bundled 1660. How that makes sense.

      • JinXR on 28/11/2019 - 18:05

        I bought anyway - I couldn't beat it with an ebay 3700x & 2070 super.

    Wondering if anyone can tell me if it's worth getting the extra cores and threads on a 3800x when compared to a 3500x for about $200 more?

    I bought the 3500x a couple of weeks ago (status unfulfilled) and now I'm wondering if I'd be better off cancelling that and getting this rig.

    I'd be using it for Office work, some Photoshop, and usually have over 30 browsers open on Chrome.

      The comparison between the two in light windows use will be minimal, I suspect. If you have the funds get the more cores.

    A big positive for these builds is that BioStar are one of the few motherboard manufacturers that have implemented the new AMD 1.0.0.4b BIOS in their B350 boards. This brings massive improvements for Ryzen 3rd generation. Big motherboard companies like ASUS or MSI have NOT done this, so good for Biostar to support all their motherboards.

  • Mintees on 28/11/2019 - 17:06

    Looks interesting but gonna wait for tomorrow to hope for a 2080/2080ti 3700x deal for less
    Any plans for something similar, really want to get a good 2080ti deal since the upgrade price is probably more than a bundled system price

    • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 28/11/2019 - 17:25

      Howdy. We don't have plans for anything 3700X as this is the one from our supplier, 3800 at 3700 pricr. We dont bundle 2080Ti so this is our lowest price for that

      It's as much to call it out for people who have been asking for it around thus price point as anything. The 3800X offers comparatively more performance than the 3700x at the same price in this deal. There is also the 3900X but it starts several hundred dollars more, of course with a big jump, but I felt this was the one people were asking for.
