3500X-3060-APR

Hi folks,

There have been lots of budget deal type requests but due to the lack of available GPUs under the 3060 and insane price increases for those that are, it just isn't possible right now. For this deal, in spite of price rises (e.g. 3060 now $100+ more than at launch) we've been able to hit the same price point as the previous 3500X/3060 deal via a couple of spec alterations. If you don't fancy the base Biostar B550 motherboard (which will be fine for this spec) there are a larger than normal range of upgrade options available because we're sitting on so damn many mobos.

Ryzen 5 3500X | RTX 3060 Gaming PC: $1298 after 3500X-3060-APR

  • AMD Ryzen 5 3500X 6c/6t CPU [3600 and 3700X upgrades available]
  • RTX 3060 12GB (brand/model may vary, likely 2 fan variant)
  • Biostar B550MH motherboard [Gigabyte B550M H, MSI B550M Pro VDH WiFi, MSI B550M Mortar, MSI X570-A Pro and Gigabyte X570 Aorus Elite upgrades available]
  • 16GB 3200MHz RAM (2x8, brand/model may vary)
  • 256GB m.2 NVME SSD
  • Allied 750W PSU [650W Bronze, 750W Gold upgrades available]
  • Lance-V RGB ATX case

Estimated shipping from back end of this month onwards.

Other deals

Updates

  • All RTX 3060 orders will be back inside 14 business day ETA next week
  • GTX 1660 Super arrived today so we'll be prioritising those early next week for all outstanding orders

          True, but nothing in this spec sheet is overly considering tho. The power supply would be the biggest issue here, but even then… It doesn't seem too terrible

          Additionally, you could purchase the extended warranty if you're going to use this PC constantly for the next few years

        • Merlict on 09/04/2021 - 14:59

          Not really. It's still 'rated' at 750W by the manufacturer and it's safe to use.

          Gotta cut corners somewhere when the GPU eats up the vast majority of the price.

      The Allied non-rated 750W has a lower cost than the Gigabyte 650 Bronze unit we use, as we're tying to hit that pricepoint. It is a 750W unit.

    Massive props to Luke and the Techfast team. Currently typing this on my 10400F/3070 System. Build time took longer than expected, so I would advise in asking for transparency on if they are waiting on specific parts or not before purchasing.

    Delivery was great, system worked straight out of the box and runs all games I've tested it on exceptionally well. Runs AAA's at 80fps ultra, will give Cyberpunk a go once it gets fixed (if ever)

    Had an issue with a boot setting, their advice to clean install and then later follow-up by Luke was all appreciated.

    All in all, with the current climate of GPU shortages, if you can get an affordable deal from these guys it is well worth it.

  • UrbionPT on 09/04/2021 - 15:55

    Couldn't all this be put into a mAtx box? Still sticking to my optiplex 7010 as I can't find any good SFF deals

    • Switchblade88 on 09/04/2021 - 20:33

      Probably, but a cheap ATX case that comes with a PSU already installed is both the cheapest and most flexible option for any build. No need to change cases with an eATX mobo + 3 fan GPU which makes Techfast's job easier (and less expensive to carry other lines).

      I liked my 9010 for it's small size, but the Lance case gives me fantastic airflow plus expansion options. It's definitely quieter than having a blower 1050ti screaming at me

  • cheesecactus on 09/04/2021 - 16:02

    " A second PCIE device (e.g. network card) will not fit."

    Is the rtx3060 a 3 slot card?

    • Skhtor on 09/04/2021 - 16:12

      I've built with motherboards that do not leave enough space between the slots, even if it's a 2 slot card.
      I can't imagine this Biostar B550m being a great motherboard, therefore I'd probably make the assumption that the above may be occurring for this one.

    • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 09/04/2021 - 17:03

      Cant guarantee either way. Safest to say wont fit unless there is a slot above the main PCIE slot like on the Giga B550M H for example.

  • gizmomelb on 09/04/2021 - 16:19

    Hmmm I'd be concerned about the PSU - my sister bought a 3500 CPU / RTX 2060 GPU system from Tech Fast in October 2020 as a Christmas present and the motherboard died on the first power and setup process with windows. I then replaced the motherboard with one from Amazon (next day delivery) so the PC would be running for the Christmas present for my nephew. Today my sister has contacted me saying the PC isn't working again and when they opened the case said there was literal smoke coming from the video card.

    Not impressed at all with the short life this PC has had and the two main component failures - which I suspect were caused by the PSU.

      It could be any number of things covered under warranty, even transit damage. I understand the timing you were trying to hit but always best to contact [email protected] before replacing things so we can assist under warranty.

    hi luke. still using the ryzen 5 2600 with rx 580 budget deal from a couple of years ago. it barely runs dota 2 - have had to switch to low settings otherwise it crashes constantly - despite benchmarks suggesting otherwise. any ideas on how to fix it?

    • UrbionPT on 09/04/2021 - 16:26

      Check the CPU temperatures

    • Wonderfool on 09/04/2021 - 16:49

      Is it plugged into the gpu? Dota 2 at low is discrete graphics quality.

      If it's plugged in, maybe update your driver's, or use nvidia control/geforce experience to see if you need to force it to run with the gpu

      • belongsinforums on 09/04/2021 - 17:01
        +1

        yes. the mobo included has no onboard graphics.
        ive played with the drivers and radeon software. other games like rdr2 run fine on tests, but dota2 crashes often on high settings. after a lot of tinkering, running at low settings and forcing dx9 seems to be the only solution to stop crashes altogether. i have wondered if its a ram or cpu issue. this is the 2nd rx 580 in this build as the first one was DoA. never figured out how to get the displayports in the gpu working - only hdmi seems to work.
        anyway, i think ill build my own next time to get more quality components

        • Wonderfool on 09/04/2021 - 17:48

          Interesting. I remember this being the case with laptop vega graphics too, where different amd drivers can change the performance of different games. Didn't knew it can happen to their dedicated gpu.

        • fatbeer on 12/04/2021 - 11:36

            @fatbeer: tried reinstall on different hard drive. i feel like it might be a ram or cpu issue, since more intensive games mostly run fine. it runs fairly smoothly at low-medium - that's the only thing that has worked. i dont get BSOD, game just crashes.

    • Wralinar on 10/04/2021 - 14:58

      I've got a gigabyte 580 that did the same thing. Turned out there was plastic covering half the gpu chip and there was only a fraction of coverage with thermal paste. Fresh paste and no issues now for 2 years.

      3060Ti cards, like 3080 cards, are made from cut down/defective versions of better chips (3070 and 3090 chips respectively). The "problem" is Nvidia is making mostly non-defective chips, and with all cards being out of stock it makes a lot more sense to just sell them as 3070s and 3090s instead of artificially disabling parts of them to turn them into 3060Tis and 3080s. These are the cards you should have the least hope of seeing stock of any time soon - start saving for a 3070 or accept a 3060.

    This is probably fine if on a very specific/restricted budget or must have an NVIDIA graphics card. If you can still jump on it the $1488 6700xt deal is just much better value: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/611574

        Never trusting Dell again, much rather give my money to a local business. When I spent $2,500 back in 2008 on an XPS 1330 they were so “generous” replacing my motherboard with the same overheating nVidia 8400. After 2 or 3 replacements over two years they told me they were doing this gratis and I would now have to pay for a replacement motherboard. They so helpfully pointed out I could buy a motherboard with intel graphics with no overheating problems then, something they could have done after the original motherboard failed.
