    • humm… How can we improve it?

      • +5

        I guarantee they're going to say something something Techfast but you're not using 3rd tier parts like Biostar, generic unrated power supplies from "Allied" and your systems are built within days and not weeks/months. I think that covers it? :)

        • we repeatly checking the system components and the price for it….recon its pretty good deal…. not sure what we miss out of, that's why we need some feedback…

          The only thing we come up with is the motherboard we use is a bit too high quality, probably need to lower the quality of it? (say B550m-a) and let other people to choose the upgrade to the current motherboard?… still juggling about it….

          • -1

            @virco: Couldn't give a damn about saving $100 on a $2k system if it means the parts are sub-par. That's not a bargain at all, unless you're shopping for a headache or a pain in the backside.

          • @virco: since it is with the Ryzen 5 3600 CPU this motherboard is overkill and most could easily get away with the B450 and drop the price, or at least have it as an option to select from. Also, I would add the ability for a cheap CPU cooler which will do a much better job than the stock one, after all this is a gaming PC.
            The mid case is a great option, For future gaming PCs I would drop the mini and micro cases permanently, too cramped, noisy and possible overheating issues….

            Waiting on the 5600x with 3070 at a similar/slightly higher price to pull the trigger from you… Good luck !

        • Yeah, I'd be interested to see the Techfast price for a similar system with upgrades to the wifi mobo, 500gb M.2 drive, 80+ gold psu & Deepcool case……and then the wait time after all that.

        • +2

          The '3rd tier parts' argument only applies to their budget systems. For their higher end builds they're using high-quality components. They had a 6800XT system for just $300 more than this that had a liquid cooled CPU.

          • -1

            @WinstonWithAY: A liquid cooler that they didn't specify. Most other parts in that deal were a lottery too. That's the difference.

            • +1

              @Clear: The only other lottery parts were the SSD and RAM. And for this system the GPU is a lottery.

              • @WinstonWithAY: It was an AMD reference design in that build. In this deal there's a dropdown menu with 5 different GPUs to choose from. There's no lottery.

                • -2

                  @Clear: My mistake. The techfast build is still better, for $300 more you're getting a much better GPU. Not sure what the issue is with the reference design either

                  • -1

                    @WinstonWithAY: So really it comes down to is paying $300 more for a better GPU, but random SSD/RAM/Cooling that might be lower tiered and a month plus wait.

        • +3

          For the sake of argument, (and we got 6800xt in stock anyway), we decided to release 6800xt as an option, just for a try out. For an extra $158 to the competitor’s NY deal (and we believe it gone up to $2388 now, which is higher than what we list on the website now, and no stock), we are using a Sapphire graphic card, with better board (ASUS TUF Gaming B550m-Plus Wifi), better RAM (Corsair C16 RAM), better NVMe SSD and ATX case with more fans. Not to mention about our build and turn around time. For those who are interested in this graphic card, please kindly choose the 850w power supply as an upgrade option. We refuse to use the specification as our competitor used to build such high end machine, it just wasted $2k worth of the build. If customer like to have a good high end machine, might as well do it right.

          • @virco: +1 for including the 6800XT version. A bit out of my league but that seems a decent price for those components (even before considering lack of stock of 6800XT)

            The Micro ATX Virco A416Ta (Rev 2.0) linked to above seems solid for the smaller-PC set (not a super-cheap bargain but there have been very few offerings combining all three of powerful, small and reasonably priced).

          • -2

            @virco: The mobo techfast use is a gigabyte aorus board. The only real difference between yours and theirs is in-built wifi. The speed difference between NVME and SATA and the different RAM timings are largely insignificant. The MSI case also has good airflow with a mesh front. I'm not sure why you're trying to paint the two systems as completely different in quality, especially considering techfast are offering liquid cooling with their CPU whilst you are using the stock cooler, and you don't have to spend an additional sum on upgrading the power supply. It's not a "waste of parts" as you put it. You do definitely have better build times, but then again you are also charging more, especially when you have to factor in the $45 upgrade for the 850w psu.

      • Motherboard: why did you choose such an expensive motherboard for a 3600

        Case: why are you putting a matx board into an atx case, there is cheaper matx cases out there

        GPU: do you think a Galax 3060 ti (2 fans) is worth $850

        GPU Upgrade: why does a 3070 needs a 750W PSU upgrade (it is more efficient than a 2080 ti and they were perfectly fine with 650W)

        GPU: do you think a Turbo 3070 is worth $1160

        Your pricing is perfect fine for a normal PC shop since margin is quite low and market is volatile these days, but this pricing should not be considered as a bargain

          for our previous build, we were using b550m-a wifi as base motherboard. 8 out of 10 people choose the upgrade of the motherboard to this b550m-plus wifi board, and even got the complaint from some ozbargainers saying why not use this board instead. So we pick this board for this build. Guess its not a good idea after all, can't really satisfy everyone. Would note for next deal.

          Case: due to the hot weather, we got a lot of build with heating problems. We even look at the weather to pick our case. From our sales report, this 4 fan case is most popular case, no matter for matx or atx board, plus for this system, we offer the user to be able to upgrade to RTX3070, which require even more bigger space for the case. We do offer Virco A416Ta microATX build, for those who like to have smaller case.

          GPU: Our cost of Galax graphic card maybe a bit higher, its first release of older stock, sorry about that, moodel is 36ISL6MD1WGG, probably our ASUS RTX3060Ti is cheaper than other retailers.

          GPU: We suggest our customer to upgrade to 750W for the RTX3070 build from our past experience, it runs more stable and smooth. However, we didn't enforce it, if customer insist to have 650W with RTX3070, by all mean you can do that, customer pay for it.

          Thank you for the feedback, our next deal would consider about your suggections.

          • @virco: @verco

          • @virco: Motherboard: you just shouldn't even give the option for the b550m-plus with a 3600, the main feature it has over a the b550m-a is bios flashback which is irrelevant since the people that buy this probably would never use them and they're paying ~$70 extra for it

            Case: if you're concern that a case does not perform well in hot weather, then you shouldn't use it at all, since I think most people would at least expect a few years out of a pc. Your main problem iss you offer build without any case fans and I think that's a mistake

            GPU: fair enough, that's understandable

        • Also you can get the 3600 for around $290 from Amazon's US store.

      • -1

        @virco

        there were deals like this one: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/584484

        that had a 3070 and 10700k and more storage only for $123 more, hence in comparison this is not a deal.

        • There are limitations with the Dell system though when it comes to upgrades like the motherboard. The PSU is only 500W, the RAM can only go up to 2933MHz and the airflow/cooling is terrible. People were reporting 100 degrees and only when they added in a Noctua poo fan monster did they get it down to 70.

          This would offer more flexibility in terms of upgrades. Pros and cons of all builds.

          • @Clear: yes, but money for value. I am basically paying the same for this deal and getting worse parts just so i can "upgrade"

            • @Specificagent1: Yeah I know what you're trying to say but the deal is also expired. It would seem even Dell don't plan on doing it again as they raised the price and added a 3 year warranty the last time it was posted. I would think the 25% increase in video cards will certainly make it harder to match.

  • Oof

  • +2

    Impressed with Virco, person I spoke to was great and I received my new computer (with all the changes I asked for) delivered to Hobart in less than a week after ordering.

  • +3

    What I would suggest is to a build on au.pcpartpicker.com and post it here for those who don't have time to look at your build and then research independently.

    • +12

      We did do it ourselve everytime before our post, to make sure our build is up to standard, its one of our SOP. However, we don't think its a good idea for ourselve to post the PC Part Picker price on the post, as a good build is more than just look at the price, but also how we build it, the combination of the compatibility and how we present the product and the service afterward.

      Thank you for the feedback though, very much appreciated.

      • +4

        Good response.

    • They do quality builds. You should always research regardless

    • I think it costs about $1750 to build it yourself.

  • +10

    Props to the poster for asking for feedback and answering questions

  • When is the Virco A5000 series coming out?

    • lols, our model number actually has some meaning to it. so help us to keep in track of what is what.

      I don't think anyone has crack the meaning of our model number as yet, anyone like to give a try?

      • a: assembled

        the digit/s before the a is for the gpu models i.e. A4367a: 6 is 3060 ti, 7 is 3070

        the digit after the A is for cpu model i.e. A5xxx is 5000 series cpu, A4xxx is 3000 series

        I dont know what the other number is for, I have a feeling it is something to do with the motherboard

        • close, I will say it about 70% right.
          very good try.
          Any other takers?

  • Honestly I think this is a great deal considering the parts listed. Only thing I could critic is the motherboard - a bit expensive for a mATX could probably change to drop the overall price by $70-80 to make it an appealing $1799 or something.

    • Agree, since it is with the Ryzen 5 3600 CPU this motherboard is overkill and most could easily get away with the B450 and drop the price, or at least have it as an option to select from. Also, I would add the ability for a cheap CPU cooler which will do a much better job than the stock one, after all this is a gaming PC.
      The mid case is a great option, For future gaming PCs I would drop the mini and micro cases permanently, too cramped, noisy and possible overheating issues….

      Waiting on the 5600x with 3070 at a similar/slightly higher price to pull the trigger from you… Good luck !

  • Hi rep,

    Thanks for sharing, this would been the perfect system for me if it had an RTX3080 option.

    Any info on when more stock are coming? What's the best way to not miss out?

    Cheers!

    • We are saving our RTX3080 for the end of month build. (which is next week). We don't have much RTX3080 in stock, its so difficult to get the stock still.

      • Thanks rep, will keep an eye out for your post

  • +20

    you know what's the worst about these type of posts, everyone who has built a pc and knows how to research prices and use websites like PC Part Picker thinks they are a guru or something.

    the build is fine, sure you can ALWAYS get parts cheaper if you are patient or willing enough…but you have to order them individually and get them from potentially different shops - what is the point of sharing a PC Part Picker list when you have the items listed from 6 different stores. thats like $20 shipping per item - plus the inconvenience of having to potentially wait for parts to be delivered on different days.

    these shops need to make money on products, you are paying for the convivence of the build, some sort of quality assurance with the build, allocation of stock (which is something worth considering in these times, when you buy these pre builds you KNOW you are getting the GPU for example and dont have to worry about chasing stock - unless the seller is being dishonest), some sort of tech support/troubleshooting upon delivery of the item etc.

    this is essentially a take it out of the box, plug it in and you're good to go product.

    i think its unfair and stupid for people to always point/compare with techfast, when they still continue to have issues delivering to advertised timelines (which have been since their inception and still exist lol) and providing brands from the lower end for some of their products.

  • What's the warranty on this?

    • One year return to base (RTB) warranty

      • So no 3 year warranty on parts?

        • +2

          One year warranty on us, rest of the warranty can claime through original manufacture. Each components come with different warranty details, please check through manufature website for more info.

          for example, three years warranty for CPU, life time warranty for the RAM…etc.

  • Hey rep OP, I have a question on the V547a (don't see it posted on ozbargain for some reason so I'm asking on this deal):
    It says in a note on the page that products starting with a "V" will have orders collected first then components ordered. How does this impact the quality of components and the wait time for the build? Any sort of estimated wait time compared to the other virco deals (which are ready before orders collected)?
    Also, another question: what models are the upgrades for the PSU (the deepcool and corsair ones)? CV series for the corsair like the default one and DQ-M (non-V2/V2L) for the upgrades on deepcool? And do we have the option to install our own PSU?

    • hi, you can email us for your question next time on [email protected]

      There is no V547a deal on ozbargain, it's just an system we have available on our website. We are experimenting with a different way of selling online. Pretty much we collected the order first, and then we purchased the stock from the supplier, and then built the machine. That means, unlike all other Virco machines which we have all the components in stock, we can assemble the machine straight away after receiving the order.

      That also means, we can't really guarantee which model of product you are getting unless specified otherwise, but the price of the whole build would be cheaper. We introduce this sort of pre-build machine for us to be able to compete with other online shop, as most of other small online shop does that as well to keep the price down, although we are proud of Virco ourselve that we always use the quality product rather than cheaper product, but to survive in this market, we have to sometime do whatever other people does as well, hopefully you guys understand that. Anyhow, that's why we differentiate this sort of selling method with our model starting with "V".

      The estimated waiting time would be longer, but don't worry, won't be months, you are expecting roughly 1~2 weeks, although some builds we already despatched, that would be other stories.

      The upgrade of PSU is listed on the webpage, sorry, we don’t allow you to install your own PSU.

      • Thank you for the prompt reply! I'll keep that email in mind next time.
        The PSU upgrades on the webpage online say the brand (e.g Corsair or Deepcool), nothing more than that. Does that mean there's no guaranteed series/model? This is something keeping me from pulling the trigger

        • yes, no guaranteed with series or model. so for corsair upgrade, we would use Corsair 750W 80+ Bronze with semi modular, while, for the Deepcool upgrade, we would use 80+ Gold Fully modular psu, any model/series would fit into this description, we would use that.

          If you don't feel comfortable with that, guess its not the type of machine you should buy, so won't create for future issues or disappointments.

          Thank you for your support.

          • @virco: I forgot to ask this but, is the 3070 a founders edition or 3rd-party/aftermarket card? If it is aftermarket, what brand/s are you filtering for?

            • @Chronical V: Won't be the founders edition, would be use either Asus / gigabyte / MSI or Galax

              • @virco: Hi, do you know when the V547a will be back in stock? I was just about to buy and looks like it went out today

                • @Chronical V: With V model, not meant to be out of stock, it has been fixed

                  • @virco: Just to confirm, the upgrades use the same brands as the base build? (eg the 16CL upgrade of memory is also kingston/crucial)

                    • @Chronical V: Yes

                      CL16 would be using corsair / thermaltake / ADATA
