Current price is $665.10 less an extra 10% off using POLKA = $598.59.
An absolute bargain for such an amazing CPU. I'm sure it won't last long.
If anyone has an eBay+ membership i'd appreciate if they can post a pic of their cart as i need one myself for price protection but my membership has expired.
EDIT: Previous cheapest was $670.65
umart
Oops double post
didnt happen to buy a second lot of that ram by chance haha
haha i wish i had, would have shared some on here, we all know a heap of those kits will end up on ebay…
What and where was the RAM for that price?
Also, how did you get the Asrock board for so cheap? I assume that sale is over?
@Ice009: Found it on sale on PCCG for $469, so googled the model, umart had it for $399 so I purchased. I feel bad now for not putting it on here, I thought it was more of a normal price, though when looking at the prices now, it wasn't
@scissorspaperrock: I would have loved to have gotten that MB for that price. I've never used an Asrock MB before, and I wanted to get a good one for when I did. The model you got was a very good one from what I have read.
How about the RAM? I've been looking for a decent priced kit of 32GB 3200Mhz or higher RAM (2x16GB kit as I want to upgrade to 64GB later on, or if anyone knows where I can get a decent priced kit of 64GB, I'd be interested in that too (4x16GB).
Could you elaborate on why you chose that motherboard? Tossing up between the ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming X and the Gigabyte X570 AORUS ULTRA.
Cheers
Price.
$399 vs $549.
If they were the same price i would have chosen the Gigabyte, due to slightly lower VRM temps. But the board i bought was on a huge sale, so i did what any true ozbargain'r would have, which was buy it… then explain it to the Mrs later
Good to know, I saw the Aorus Ultra is $486 on the FTC store, but I doubt I'll get the package before the SSD promotion is up. Issue is NOW I'm looking at M-ITX cases and motherboards… decisions, decisions.
@Room Temperature: All my decisions have been based on sales =D
watching OCAU for a larger case to keep everything cool, but there is a side of me thats tempted to go back to custom water cooling.
Was wanting an IN-WIN case now the phanteks have my attention
Thanks Op! managed to buy just before they increase the price earlier today.
Any suggestion for good micro-ATX mobo for this 3900x?
Gigabyte X570I
Kind of sad that i missed out as i really needed to buy this to build my PC…
will more cores make extracting rar files quicker?
The other task I do alot is converting media files from one format to another (thanks iTunes). Will this make that process go faster also?
Yes most archiving and encoding software will run on multiple cores.
Plenty of benchmarks for WinRAR for example on the Internet.
The ASUS PRIME X570-PRO/CSM seems like a good deal at $299? It should be good enough for the 3900X right?
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/AMD-AM4-ATX-motherboard-with-PCI…
Literally just purchased a 3900x from Umart today for $759.
Anyone have any opinions if its worth it returning it (still sealed exactly as I received it) and ordering this? is the $94 difference worth the possibly dodgy seller?
if they accept returns, might as well.
759 - 598 is more than $94 difference btw.
Thanks lostn!
Got darn it, I was waiting for a deal like this for weeks and I missed out on it. I am really, really mad as I simply don't have time to check here every single day. Do you guys expect a deal like this again, soon?
If I could predict the future like that I'd be the richest man on wall st within a few years.
I check OzBargain multiple times per day as I have missed out on many, many deals to the point of FOMO (fear of missing out).
Arguably if your not checking at least daily, then your simply going to miss out on some good deals. Even when I check multiple times per day I miss out - for example the Yoshi Nintendo game for $1 digitally delivered from Target US.
The Deal is back on but I doubt the seller actually has this many stock. The delivery will be a problem.
What do you mean the deal is back on? I just checked and it seems the price is around $632?
It's available again for $599.40 so 81 cents more than the original post.
Price before code is $666 with more than 10 available.
I didn't know you had to be an Ebay Plus member to get it for $599, so that is why I wasn't seeing that price. I am kicking myself that I missed out on the Ebay Plus for $1 deal about a month ago.
Anyway, I signed up for the free month. How do you cancel it if you don't want to go beyond the first month?
Also, what do you guys think of Ebay Plus for $49/year. Do you guys think I should consider keeping it? Do you think it's worth it?
@Ice009: I see it like this. It's around $4 a month. If I purchase one eBay Plus item a month; it seems a fair price. Then you get the added bonus of the occasional exclusive voucher code like this one.
Only you can answer if it's worth it for you.
@BradH13: Yeah, that is a pretty good explanation.
Can I ask, if you cancel it after a few months, does anyone know if you get the remainder of the money back?
Also, how/where do you cancel it? Is there a setting somewhere that you deselect or do you have to send them a message asking them to cancel it?
@Ice009: There's a landing page to cancel, I think but I've never actually cancelled it so not 100% sure.
I doubt they'd be refunding you though. Your sub would just expire when it originally did. But also, not 100% sure on that either. That's how most subscriptions work though.
I agree, I am concerned but the T’sand C’s are “ Most orders ship within 48 business hours after payment received. Please allow 7 to 10 working days for delivery”.
Look at the sellers feedback. They are probably drop shipping everything, so it will take an extra week or two for delivery.
U need to have ebay plus for this deal For the Extra 10% off.
Deal is back on just grabbed 1 =]
Now it's returned to a very similar price; I got one too. This is my 3rd FTC order. I've had one really fast, well packed experience with them, and one really slow, not so well packed experience. Assuming this will be slow too, but whatever. It's cheap.
How long did it take to arrive the first 2 times?
I'm worried about them being a dodge seller.
Any issues with returns?
First one was 3 days. Second was 15 days.
I haven't had to return anything so couldn't possibly tell you, but I can't imagine it would be pleasant based on the returns T&C's on the listings.
They do reply to messages relatively quickly though, so there's that (had to ask for tax invoice for both orders as they weren't emailed or posted with item).
Interesting..
Thank you for that!
Can anyone post once they actually get a shipment confirmation
Got one guys, thanks. I'd love to get a second one, but can't afford it, so I probably shouldn't. I am real happy to get one.
Just received mine in Brisbane, ordered on Wednesday. My order on Ebay is still not marked as shipped and I received no tracking info. It was delivered by a third party wholesaler. Nice and fast delivery though and the CPU itself seems legit.
Seems like a special case because you must live near the warehouse. This mob will do anything to save a few dollars. Haha.
i got tracking through a company called sendle, also ordered wednesday and nothing turned up yet. tracking says its waiting for drop off :(
im also about 20 mintues from willawong which is where it says its at
Same here, been two days and looks like FTC hasn't drop them off at the courier company?
Same status hasnt changed since like monday.
Mine has been marked as sent since the 20th, still waiting for the sendle drop off.
Sent a message through to them, doubt they will reply
Same for me. Ordered on 15th. Sendle tracking since Monday 20th, but still awaiting parcel drop off. Can't see them meeting the estimated delivery date of today or tomorrow (23rd to 24th Jan).
my delivery eta was yesterday, trying to claim ssd deal that ends this week with gigabyte.
@david6509: The gigabyte ssd promo has ended isn't it? Says all units has been exhausted? https://au.aorus.com/event-detail.php?i=1235
I sent a message to the seller about mine and they just replied saying it will be sent later today.
@scissorspaperrock: My tracking still says "Awaiting the parcel at the drop off location". So I guess they didn't send it yesterday like they said they would.
@great-price: Nor mine either, I don't want to annoy them either as there is already 1 ozbargain'er who has had their order cancelled. No buyers remorse here, I have actually ordered other parts to finish this build so I would be Pssd if it gets cancelled
Their latest feedback is also part of the deals they were running (NEG)
Terrible. Avoid dealing with them at all costs. Never intended to provide order. (2070 Super)
@scissorspaperrock: My Sendle tracking number has been changed to a StarTrack tracking number - but it says the item hasn't been scanned yet. With their website down, their ebay store now empty and account put on hold it's not looking promising.
EDIT: Website is back up now. I did an online chat with ebay and they said his ebay store has been put on hold as he needs to pay his outstanding dues.
@great-price: StarTrack is now showing they have an item, so here is hoping everything works out for all of us.
@great-price: Received my CPU today. It was drop shipped from the wholesaler Leader Computers NSW branch.
https://www.leadersystems.com.au
Well they refunded and canceled my order…….. Nice =/
Did you get a tracking number? I got one but it shows nothing.
Kind of hoping mine will be cancelled too. Getting some buyer's remorse.
Yes i had a tracking number. I did send them a message asking why they havent posted the item, and if they were selling items which werent in stock.
Could be why they killed the order.
They never replied to my msgs on ebay.
Same. They didn't respond and never picked up on any of my calls.
Well I’ll be pissed if they do cancel my order as I’ve already purchased new cpu cooler and case, ready for rock and roll…
I am in the same boat, guessing there could be a lot of negative feedback happening soon for FTC
"They did say mine was being posted today"
What day was your order on? this first batch or one of the following batches than hit ozbargain
Mines from first batch.
First or second batch on ozbargain for these? order date?
Curious if they are actioning these in the order they were bought, or which ever has the most expensive postage, or ones asking for updates
Ordered last Wed 15th of Jan, 10:38am. I sent an eBay message like on Sun 19th of Jan, and got a response Mon 20th of Jan, then later around 3pm got a dispatch Sendle notification. Now I am just waiting for them to "drop it off" at the nominated courier by Sendle like everyone else.
I bought a few things for a system from them.
MB and graphics card arrived quickly.
CPU is with sendle like everyone else.
Ram and m.2 drive says shipped with same tracking number as MB but haven't turned up.
Will see what happens next week.
Tracking through the Auspost app says "Shipping Information received by Australia Post" as does Ebay.
It's been that way since Monday, also, another weird thing, it says that there are 2 tracking numbers associated with my order even though I only order one CPU.
I hope sending it to a Parcel Locker doesn't screw me over if they are going with Sendle.
Update: FTC store & items for sale are empty… doesn't look good
Their website is also down.
https://www.ftc.com.au/
Facebook page has had all services removed.

I ordered a graphics card, motherboard and this cpu. Ordered Wednesday last week with the delivery this wednesday that just passed. This is the response i got yesterday
Hi, there
Thanks for your inquiry.
We were just waiting for the graphic card to arrive. Your order will be on the way today and tracking will be updated.
Sendle still shows the same waiting for drop off
Ok from Ebay
Checking on the seller's account, I see his account is currently on hold. Unfortunately, we cannot disclose the reason why his account is on hold.
Looks like this is going to be a dud sales. I would probably just give up and wait for the next best thing, if we eventually have our orders cancelled.
Where does it say his account is on hold?
That doesn't sound good since he was probably drop shipping everything.
I wouldn't be surprised if their paypal was put on hold as well and they won't be able to access the money until they prove to paypal they have the stock (which they might not be able to do since they may have been drop shipping).
@videoman: The packing slip on the box for the MB and graphics card clearly says drop ship on it lol

I'm missing a couple times I also ordered. Ram and m.2 drive. My Australia Post app says I have a delivery from umart online. I haven't purchased anything from them. So wondering if they're filling in the order. Seems really strange.
Received at 12:50pm 24/1/20:
Dear customer
Thanks for your order.
Due to huge amount of orders we have received there is some minor delay.
We are working hard to get all orders on the way asap.
Thank you very much for your understanding.
Same copy as paste reply as my two messages regarding two seperate orders. Received them 5 mins after I messaged them. Wonder if it's a bot or human copy and pasting. In any regards, I'm willing to keep it going a bit longer before I contact eBay for help.
got a new Startrack tracking number today
And StarTrack have the item!
Woot Woot Woot
Oh and its coming from Sydney
Also just noticed a new StarTrack tracking number on my AusPost account that I think is the CPU, not expecting any other item.
Item was picked up from Adelaide Airport by StarTrack with no other tracking history, which is weird.
Still got the other previous AusPost tracking number indicating item hasn't been picked up.
Did they update your ebay purchase history with the new tracking information or does it still have the same Sendle tracking?
Yep
Guessing FTC is ordering from any other store they can
@scissorspaperrock: Isn't that odd? I mean if they order from other store, would they be making money..? Unless if they get a dealer price from other stores?
@cloudie9: Backlash could cost them their business. So spending a few extra grand now may be the only way out of their hole.
got my tracking for my cpu and gpu. picked up friday at 4pm by couriers please, wont see it till tuesday now .
Your lucky. I must have been one of the first people to buy this deal (bought it 10 minutes after it was posted on ozbargain) and mine still hasn't been posted.
it took allot of hassling them to get it though
And someone in here got their order cancelled after much hassling.
Has anyone got their cpu from this deal? I ordered on the 15th and ut still says to be picked up?
Some people had or on their way, seller told me last Friday that it will be dispatched by end of the day, which I am very doubtful since it took this long.
So you haven't received yours either? Cause some people have whom I believe ordered after me :s
Not received, ordered maybe 3 hours after the deal was posted :(
Still waiting for mine as well. Will cancel the order if it doesn't get shipped before the 31st.. If you don't mind cancelling, open a dispute resolution first as they give the retailer 1 week to respond. That means you can't cancel and request for a refund until the response period has been provided
I lodged a Resolution Request via Ebay and Paypal. I messaged the seller via Ebay and got a response of either the 28th or 29th. The Sendle tracking number has never been updated to indicate that they received the item from the seller. My only concern is now that all the items from their Ebay store has disappeared and that the FTC website no longer seems to work.
I might need to do the same.
I ordered a few things…some have arrived but still waiting on CPU and RAM.
Ran says it's been delivered but I haven't received it. Today I got my m.2 drives and they were sent by umart online.
Seller isn't responding.
Got a refund. That'll teach me for not listening to all the negative feedback about these guys.
Feel quite glad I didn't go ahead and buy the RAM/mobo while I was waiting.
