      Excellent mid range option for a gamer.

      IMO. With the B550 it has a good upgrade path. in say 3 years you could bang a second hand 5900x or something in it. Would get a long run out of it.

    Trying to sit on it would certainly be an arse crusher. I like how Techfast's cheapest case has a mesh front. I really don't like how PC builders insist on tempered glass fronts with 3 fans. You're supposed to improve airflow, not turn it into an oven.

    • AdosHouse on 03/02/2021 - 22:27
      +1

      Nothing wrong with 3 front fans and tempered glass front as long as the fans have adequate venting to allow the fans to suck in air.

      • Clear on 03/02/2021 - 22:28
        +1

        That's the problem they often don't. When you factor in CPUs that run more hot like the 5800X it's not ideal when a simple mesh front has a considerable improvement.

        • AdosHouse on 03/02/2021 - 22:39
          +1

          Well yeah, front fans with a mesh front would be ideal in pretty much any circumstance. But mate think of all the FPS lost to not having full RGB front fans with glass front, so many FPS lost. LOL.

          I have 5 x 140mm fans blowing air into my case, all with decent static pressure. 3 of which are in the front panel, but decent venting for them. Of course I paid a bit more for this case than most would, be quiet! Dark Base Pro 900 v2.

            @AdosHouse: I remember Titan Tech (I think) saying how he thought RGB was more important than anything else. Was legitimately serious :/

            be quiet do good cases and good cooling. I love the orange strip on that one but would still take a mesh front.

            • AdosHouse on 03/02/2021 - 23:03

              @Clear: I got the black version, no orange. I was after quiet over anything. But I also did intentionally only consider cases with a type-c connector on the front.

              I'm not too concerned about temps, I have 5 good 140mm fans blowing in, and a Noctua D15 CPU cooler. While not incredible, running Prime95 on small FFTs, with 4Ghz all core (no OC), 80w in the CPU, I was getting 80 degrees max. When browsing or even gaming I can't even hear my computer, just how I like it.

    • zzyss on 05/02/2021 - 09:31

      Probably depends on what your dust situation is like. The glass would prevent more dust ingress, but it'd accumulate faster at the seams and would require frequent cleaning.

      • Clear on 05/02/2021 - 09:35
        +1

        NZXT H510 series is a really good example of an oven. The airflow isn't so good when there is a single air vent on the side and at the top you can only fit a single fan as opposed to 2 or 3 limiting the airflow even further.

          According to Partpicker chepeast 3070 in stock is $999, AMD 3600 is $309 leaving about $169 to complete the build…
          There is RTX 3070s listed in the $800 range on staticice but they're basically impossible to get.

            @CheapGit: If you look back at previous deal for 3070, you'll see that this is really only good cause of the tariff, there were plenty of good deals and not many flinched and got negged cause higher than "rrp" and now everyone is drooling over this, you pretty much get a free case and a free ssd here at the base spec

            But if you upgrade to the spec that I would actually build, it'll probably cost the same amount of money

              For people only building a new system now, even a basic PC it's going to be higher than we would like just the crappy environment we are currently in and looks like it'll be here to stay for a while.

                And people are not rational anyway, paying $550 for a 5600x is pretty strange

                And ordering from techfast doesn't mean you get the computer now, you don't know when you'll get it, that's why it's cheap, cause you're not paying to get a good service

  • BadAtNames on 03/02/2021 - 20:58

    This is has me to close to pulling the trigger, are there any obvious upgrades in the build that I should consider? (light gaming AOE2 DE streamed, other higher end games not streamed, very light video editing)

    • AlienC on 03/02/2021 - 21:02
      +1

      Streaming favours more cores and it doesn't hurt to have more ram.

      Otherwise this is a sweet build for what you intend to do.

      Great price too I would jump on it but I am holding out for 3080 Ti.

      • BadAtNames on 03/02/2021 - 21:15

        The game I want to stream is very easy to run, (>20 years old originally just with updated graphics) I'm hoping the 3600 tides me over and considering an upgrade to a 5000 series chip once (if) the market sorts itself out. Thanks for helping.

      The motherboard is pretty garbage, and the SSD is 1) slow, 2) not large enough, but you're probably better off buying a new one yourself rather than upgrading from techfast (unless you feel very not confident about tinkering with your PC)

      • WinstonWithAY on 03/02/2021 - 21:08
        +1

        Putting in another SSD is super easy to do though. I reckon even someone who isn't too tech savvy could add their own SATA ssd no problems. Might have a bit more trouble if its an m.2 though

      • BadAtNames on 03/02/2021 - 21:12

        Yeah SSD isn't much of an issue for me and my needs atm. I'm fine to upgrade it just with the current market it feels more cost effective to pay for one build that has most things and just tinker with aspects of it when I get it. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

        • abuch47 on 04/02/2021 - 13:04

          get an NVME for it, will be better for OS and any workstation use (NVME is about 7x faster than a sata3 SSD which was about 5x faster than a HDD).

          if im not mistaken all B550/x570 boards have dual m.2 slots Edit: supplied biostar has only 1 m.2 slot

          use supplied SSD for game or other less critical storage (its small and likely not of robust quality, hence price)

          storage is the cheapest pc component.

      • superuser on 04/02/2021 - 09:56

        i agree, but why the neg? really, it is a very good price, quick math cpu + 3070 ~$1300 + everything else
        and your time + warranty??

        • [Deactivated] on 04/02/2021 - 10:24

          Issues with the motherboard + liquid cooler combination that they're pushing. See the comments on the second page.

          If you're not upgrading to the liquid cooler, or you're upgrading the motherboard it's fine.

    • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 03/02/2021 - 21:06

      RTX 3000 cards do make CPUs sweat way more than 2000 did, so I would definitely recommend the 120mm cooler for extended sessions on either CPU option. You'll get better editing performance on the 3700X, depends how much video you're doing and how far your budget stretches though.

      • BadAtNames on 03/02/2021 - 21:18
        +1

        Yeah I'm hoping the CPU can tide me over until 5000 supplies are good then I'll have to work out what I want based on the 3600 performance for me. Won't be too long, max 4 hours (not too long he says lol) straight gaming. Thanks for the advice

            @arkie0: It is still a good price for a preorder though the wait time, yes a deal breaker. It's like saying i can get you a pepperoni pizza but i only have the pizza base; when will you have the pepperoni? I heard someone ask. It should be after CNY from what i heard. So can you get the pepperoni pizza to me after CNY? I should be able to based on the information given to me.

                @arkie0: IF it is 2 months wait…. You just never know, would you? Even Luke himself doesn't know. In all honesty, this should be a 10% deposit for a preorder and 90% to be paid once the pepperoni pizza is freshly made and out of the oven in Adelaide. Not 100% now, especially without any time guarantee. Actually, I don’t understand why buyers need to pay 100% of the build whereas the components are not even on hand?

                  @jamessong: Our build times are stated on the website and are estimated 14 business days from order to dispatch, so that puts an order now at the back end of Feb, which is after Chinese New Year, and which is what I've said. 1-2 months or calling this a preorder is just not accurate, we have had true preorders for 3080s where customers reserve their place for stock arriving on unspecified dates. This is not that. If the wait time isn't for you that's cool, but no one else offers anywhere near this price either.

                    @luketechfast:

                    end of feb onwards, supply dependent

                    So it means that the eta is expected to be over 14 business days since it is onwards and not at the end of feb

                    It is also contingent on the fact that supply improves

                    So it's not unfair to assume that there is a high likelihood of a 1 month wait or more

                    Purely, from what you said

                    pre order: place an order for (an item) before it is available for purchase.

                    You don't currently have all the parts to build the pc, since it is contingent on supply and thus satisfy the definition of a preorder, is it not

      Some conjecture around my wording on my original comment which I'm happy to clarify (I was making a frittata at the time), and I've asked TA to put in the deal post (he has done) as it's important information and completely valid to request.

      Our estimated build and shipping time for this system is 14 business days. As the site says, it may vary according to factors outside our control, but the majority of systems ship on this timeline. We have the major components on hand and the 14 business day estimate provides for our current order queue (we build a lot of PCs), and time taken for order processing (fraud prevention measures, order checking etc) and custom PC building of many PCs (which does not happen overnight).

      Supply generally will still improve after Chinese New Year, but the stock for this deal is not I repeat not contingent on that.

      I think most people following PC components are aware of the supply challenges at the moment, and we are committed to the lowest prices and shortest lead times we can manage, and have demonstrated that over the past three or so years here. All the info is on our website and I'm always happy to answer genuine queries.

      The frittata was good.

        So if i understand correctly from your statement above is that you have the 3070 on hand in your store at Adelaide but you can only deliver this 14 business days post CNY because of your backlogs (BFS, Boxing Day and all other orders prior to this deal)? Can you please kindly confirm?

      We use various brands/models according to supply and pricing, part of our model. There's a tab at the bottom of the listing that describes the most common.
