Hi folks,

We know demand is there for a) faster shipping and b) listed specs, so we have created TechFast Express: PCs that ship within 3 days with a balanced, set configuration whose components are specifically listed, at a set price. This run is strictly limited to 15 and if it is supported we'll look to increase these amongst our regular offerings.

So first up is a 3500X | RTX 2070 Super combo:

TechFast Express AMD Ryzen 5 3500X | RTX 2070 SUPER 8GB Gaming Desktop PC: $1599

  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3500X

    Not cheaper than building yourself this time around, though better than any other prebuilts out there. With this you get a nicer B550M board, a Ryzen 5 3600 (much better paired with a 2070S), some nice and quiet case fans and 3600CL18 memory. This is assuming you can get a 2070S for $749 though, and you'd be getting it from Shopping Express. Also compacted down to mATX.

    Edit: And missing a 1TB HDD here, this makes the Techfast PC a bit more compelling. You'd have to drop the CPU to a 3300X to get back in budget, I'd say it's better than the 3500X, but the difference is minimal.

      how about shipping cost for each individual items? Labour to put them together?

        Of course that's a consideration, and this is a good value prebuilt wise, but if you can build yourself definitely do it. The joy of building is unmatched and you still get better parts here like the RAM, motherboard, SSD, CPU (well 3500X vs 3300X is toe to toe). Shipping costs would be about $30-40, still cheaper than or equal to TF.

              @OnlineShopper123: It's easy if you have spare parts to test, but if you don't…

              Find possible defective component -> return/exchange -> retest -> fixed OR not fixed -> repeat and hope you'll find the defective component

              Could be a real painful experience if you bought parts from multiple sellers (worse if msy), the seller finds no defect and charges you extra, slow process if something needs to be shipped or the defect is really hard to identify.

            @MagicMushroom: I'be build my pc back in 2004, 2008, 2010 . Never had any problem and happy to do it again as my old PC is not good enough for latest video games running with I5-760 1151 socket and GTX760… Though it is still good enough for web browsing, office work and playing Skyrim and GTA 5… Even Far Cry 5 on medium settings at 1080p was playable for me.

        Shipping for CPU from newegg - $40
        Shipping from Mwave for motherboard, storage and case - $12.95
        Shipping from Amazon for RAM - Free with prime (i assume most of us here will have a prime account so I will give this a pass)
        Shipping from Umart for GPU - $11
        Shipping from Centrecom for PSU - Free

        Shipping works out to be $63.95.

        Labour is a bit more iffy but I assume you'll probably be paying at least $80-100+ for labour if you were to have a pc shop build something for you. You can debate whether you want to include this for the purposes of comparison or not but if for some reason you found the joy of building a PC was immeasurable then you wouldn't be looking at prebuilts in the first place so no point comparing cost vs doing it yourself.

          CPU is from Amazon.

            I can see free shipping with Prime.

          Last PC I built was 5 years ago, just built a 3900x system the other week and that only took 3-4 hours (with proper cable management). I think the new PC case designs make it so much easier to access everything vs 5 years ago.

        Wrong CPU

        Can't buy a 3500X here, 3300X would be the closest you can get.

        wrong motherboard

        Yeah you could go for the TUF and save like $15, but I'm comparing what you could get for the same price.

        wrong Memory

        The 3600CL18 is a better value.

        wrong storage

        Can't get the Lexar drive, A2000 is probably better anyway.

        wrong case

        Could easily get the 100R for another $10.

        No shipping added

        Techfast charge about $30 for it IIRC, and shipping here would be like $30-40.

        no labour added

        My point is to disprove that this is cheaper than building yourself.

        And could you not be so condescending?

        Edit: And the 100R may be cheaper, as it already comes with necessary fans. Knocking $28 off the total cost.

And if you saw my edit (from more than 12 hours ago) I said to drop the 3600 to a 3300X because the 3600 with the hard drive would turn up over budget. Also yes I am using Amazon US, because the point is that you can get something better with a little wait. Definitely shorter than TF non-express. Also the 2070 Super is $749 at Umart. I'm done arguing with you.

The Cinebench R20 and Geekbench 5 multi scores of the 3300X are about the same as the 3500X. You'll be surprised how far SMT has come. With the higher boost clock and single CCX design I see it will be toe to toe with the 3500X. In gaming the 3300X even beats the 3600 in games which aren't thread hogs like AC Odyssey, and in those games it will tie with the 3500X. This is according to Gamers Nexus.

                        Heck GN even has 3500X benchmarks in there and the 3300X wins. See this.

Also you may get BETTER resale out of the 3300X as let's face it most people haven't heard of the 3500X and all the reviewers call it a disappointment, and if you're building a PC you probably know that a Ryzen 3 can beat a Ryzen 5 on occasion.

                              Your costs are on parts list which you provided as your first post which shows a low total cost at the top and is very very very misleading as it shows you haven't done a shred of research, you just added some parts to a site without looking at stock, delivery, availability, timeframes….pretty much didn't look at anything but blindly looked at the cost it gave you.

                              Don't speak on behalf of others, wether they know or don't is not an assumption I make, neither should you.
                              Assumption made about better resale value when physically the extra 2 cores are something you can feel and touch and is facts. You ASSUME resale might be higher. I am going off common sense.

                              You have failed to justify your costs being so high.
                              You have failed to disproove that there is a better deal by not using real world costing.

                                @goz30: They ARE in stock, eecan already ran the delivery numbers, the 3300X may need another $10-20 to get one in stock right now from the initial $200 but that's still in budget, the entire point of this is to show that you can get BETTER products at the SAME price. You could even go for cheapy molex case fans and cut out PCCG's shipping cost, because Techfast gave me shitty Allied ones. Amazon delivery can be expedited for not a lot of money with Prime, and you could even get a trial for that. Given COVID even Techfast's delivery will be slow despite their quick dispatch.

                                    @goz30: Amazon Prime makes the shipping free or you pay extra to speed it up. It's $7 a month, and you could even get more components from there if I spent more time to check. The budget including shipping here is $1628:

                                    System: $1570 swapping out PS15 for MAG 100R as Techfast do and adding a $25 buffer for an in-stock 3300X.

                                    Shipping: Amazon ~$27 expedited ($7 added for Prime), Mwave ~$12, Umart ~$12, Centrecom Free. $44 all up.

                                    Total cost: $1621.

                                    Now I don't know about you but that looks to be in budget.

                                    The system is a better value having a B550M motherboard, a better brand SSD, faster RAM, and a slightly better CPU. Let's not forget that this GPU is RGB.

                                      Show me the sites with the pricing, availability & delivery to make this $1628.

                                      Let's see it dude.
                                      Let's even see a 3300x in stock somwhere.

                                      Show me, show us all.
                                      Lets see a list of the price with delivery for every item on this "value pc" you speak of and let's end it at that.
                                      Just like I did the research to find every product on the list you added initially.

                                      Come on….let's see it my friend.
                                      I'll wait hahahaha

                                      And make sure you accout for ALL costs, don't scim on your details to try and spin it which you have continued to do throughout.

                                        @goz30: Mwave: $12.95
                                        Umart: $17
                                        Amazon: $6.99 + (no account so I cannot find expedited delivery but it'd be $10-20)

                                        Total: $51.94 (averaged $10-20 into $15)

                                        Total build (edited): $1623.94 or $1629.94 depending on whether you buy from TB or MB.

                                        Screenshots.

                                        3600CL18 memory moved up from $100.79 to $109, putting us slightly over budget, but even 3200CL16 will still match Techfast. 3300X can be had for $236 shipped at Megabuy (found it after taking screenshots, it's on special order but claims 1-3 business days), so it puts us ~$4 over budget, but you could take advantage the Amazon Prime free trial to bring it back down.

                                        Edit: You could even save another $10 by getting this NVMe drive, and the 100R went up $10 which I forgot to acknowledge so this'd balance it out.

                                        Techbuy also have the 3300X for $219 delivered but will take longer to order in.

      Don't forget max 3 day handling time for a complete system as well. The Amazon RAM for example is at least a week via the fastest shipping as far as I could see, and far longer with standard delivery. These are whole systems ready to go.

      Don't forget Windows Home - the average person still pays $100+

      Also the stress when you go to boot your pre-build system and it doesn't post - missing a heartbeat. You can't put a price on that.

    This is a good idea… I think it will be popular with OzB members.

    Does the Galax 1-Click OC RTX 2070 Super 8GB come with RGB?
    (I received my TechFast PC with that card yesterday, and I can't seem to get the card to light up at all - not even the logo)

    • mojadu on 04/08/2020 - 16:21

        Yep, I did and the RGB section of Xtreme Tuner is greyed out :(

        Ah phew… OK thanks for the confirmation Luke.
        I was worried that an RGB issue might mean that actual performance could have issues too.

            @Void: Sorry I wasn't clearer.

            People wanting things sooner is not a niche thing for sure.

            BUT being willing to PAY more and give up on customisation to get quick delivery is a niche.
