Hi folks,

Prices have started to fall, as shown by these new deals which are $71 and $119 respectively less than they were in May, with a better case and up spec RAM.

Both offered with either the MAG Forge 100R or Thermaltake Versa H18 case but there are only 25 Versas left so if you want the plainer case, get in fast as the option will go out of stock on the site when they are gone. Plenty of Forge on hand. Other shared specs are 16GB 3200MHz RAM, B350 motherboard from Biostar supporting 3200MHz RAM (B450 minimum required for an m.2 drive), 240GB 2.5" SSD and 750W power supply.

Ryzen 5 3500X | RTX 2070 Super Gaming PC: $1448 after 3500X-2070S-JUL

Ryzen 5 3500X | RTX 2080 Super Gaming PC: $1699 after 3500X-2080S-JUL

If you missed out on any of the many EOFYS deals ($200 off a range of systems, they are all still live under the CLICKFRENZY Coupon Code until July 5.

We're still working as closely as possible to 14 business days from order to dispatch.

Cheers
Luke

    The RTX 2080's are on sale for a little over $1100, seems pretty good to get the rest of a solid system for $600.

      The rest of the system doesn't really cost much especially if you're using generic parts but yea it's a good deal if you don't want to build one yourself or if you're comparing it to say Austins or PLEs.

      Interestingly I'm still waiting on my order from last month (hit 15 working/business days today actually).

      Today they emailed me with the option to pay extra for a different PSU, and when I say extra I don't mean the difference between the two, I mean more than it would cost for the upgrade on a new system on their site right now.

      The other option is to wait indefinitely for them to get more of the PSU I ordered.

      I wish I had of read your comment before making my order as this whole experience with them has been super disappointing and frustrating.

        14 business days, with 5 business day per week, equals just under 3 weeks.

        Writing 14 Business days, someone might not read the business, and think "Wow, 2 weeks"

    I ordered a system at the start of the year. After using it for 5 months my only complain is the PSU that it came with. RAM/mobo/SSD are all fine.

    750W A1 PSU can no way sustain even a slightest of overclock. Its just not stable. Didn't realise the PSU would be that bad. Definetly recommend anyone getting the system to upgrade to a 80+ gold one for $99. You can't get a 80+ gold PSU outside for that cheap.

    • cosmokram3r on 02/07/2020 - 16:47

      How do you know it can't sustain an OC? I have the stock 750w and I OC my GPU and it's been okay and I just turned on OC Genie in the BIOS for my CPU.

      Can you recommend me a PSU that you speak of for that price?

      • KirikParty on 02/07/2020 - 16:59

        It's the 80+ Gold upgrade option from their website. On previous deals it's usually always the Gigabyte G750H. It's a decent enough PSU.

        With regards to overclocking, this psu only has a 6 pin Pci-e connectors. Not even an 8 pin. Techfast had to use a 6pin to 8pin converter.

        Every time I try to overclock even a bit let's say 25-50mghz, it just crashes.

        • cosmokram3r on 02/07/2020 - 17:04

          With my stock 750w I turned on OC genie which bumped it up 600mhz and it seems to load windows and stay on okay. How will I know or be able to test if it's safe to keep on? How do I know if 750w or 650w psu is needed? I have a 2070 super system like on this deal

            +7

            @cosmokram3r: You won't know until it goes kaboom and takes out all the components. The stock allied-power PSU they use is junk. It doesn't even have a proper PCIE connection, they just used a Molex connector and PCIE adaptor. You'll be fine for now as you're covered by the 1 year warranty (well, unless your house gets burnt down) but after the warranty is over you should change the PSU asap, especially if you're overclocking your system.

            • cosmokram3r on 02/07/2020 - 23:00

              @j0hnd0e: Hmm yeah I think I'll look into getting a new PSU ASAP. I've been having a look at 80+ Gold 750W. I'd rather not have to deal with the kaboom and then waiting months for a replacement PC to arrive.

              • j0hnd0e on 02/07/2020 - 23:03

                @cosmokram3r: You don't need a gold rated PSU, see the PSU tier list before you purchase. https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1116640-psucultists-psu…

                Also just a side note, your warranty might (?) be voided if you replace the PSU on your own.

          • KirikParty on 02/07/2020 - 17:37

            @cosmokram3r: To check what your power requirements are with overclocking, a calculator like this(https://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator) would give you a rough idea. Although power consumption is just one aspect. Another and more important is how long can a psu sustain that load.
            As j0hnd0e you won't know until something crashes or burns down.

            I am now looking for a replacement psu, but can't find stock for the one I want at a decent price.

        • greatlamp on 02/07/2020 - 17:39
          +3

          Are you talking about overclocking the CPU?

          Ryzen is a very poor overclocking CPU in general. The 3500 is likely to be poor quality silicon as a budget cpu.

          I don't think spending an extra $100 on the PSU would have helped

          AMD has marketed the boost clock on Zen 2 at clocks so high many chips cannot reach them. This was a bit of a controversy when discovered but it has now been 'fixed' with higher stock voltages. https://youtu.be/DgSoZAdk_E8

          Reviewers often receive 'golden sample' CPUs unless they purchase retail

          People in overclocking forums purchase multiple CPUs, test them, and return the dud ones.

    • camelthief on 02/07/2020 - 19:06

      Please don't try to overclock if you got the Generic PSU. Invest in a good quality PSU if you plan to overclock.

        RAM is an exception. I used the TT Litepower (eventuall replaced with EVGA Supernova G2) and OC'd the RAM very nicely, and I even got a lil CPU and GPU OC in there. Shame TF don't ship at least the Litepower anymore.

        They have been good with these kind of things before. If something goes out of stock, they sometimes upgrade without charging or give you a reasonable upgrade price. Maybe their business model has changed now.

    Hi Luke,

    I'm sorry to message you like this but I'm really disappointed with my experience so far.

    I purchased a PC approximately three weeks from you guys (the 2080 super plus 3500X posted in early June).

    Since then I have seen you post similar specs with significant price drops, which is understandable and always a part of bargain hunting.

    However today I recieved a message from the warehouse as we approach the promise fulfillment date (14 working days) asking me to pay an extra $60 for a lower watt PSU (650W instead of 750W) or an extra $149 for the gold 750W, even though it's only $139 to upgrade to this PSU in your current builds.

    Finally my last option was to wait INDEFINITELY until the warehouse recieved the PSU that was bundled with my build.

    I can totally understand not being able to pass on discounts due to price drops for customers that have already placed their order, but right now it feels like I'm being punished for having placed my order last month.

    My order number is TF87272631

    Overall just really frustrated with the whole situation. I'm not the most computer literate so I thought going through you guys would make things easier but it just seems to have made it harder!
