          It performs fine for heaps of applications perfectly decent GPU and way better than integrated graphics… It's low power and passively cooled too so perfect for a home/office PC.

          Edit - are you referring to gaming? You'd have to be a troglodyte to expect this to perform well in games.

      CPU and memory would be fine, although 3000 or 5000 series Ryzen would be better, not going to be a big deal for most people.

      Depending on quality of power supply, that may be an issue depending on how powerful a GPU you go..

      240GB SSD won't hold many modern games, but could always add a second SSD or a HDD for storage.

      • spoco2 on 26/05/2021 - 15:11

        So the newer 6C12T Ryzens are better than this 8C16T one? Or are you suggesting going with a modern 8C16T one? The newer 8 core ones seem to be a fair jump in price.

        • [Deactivated] on 26/05/2021 - 15:26

          Obviously varies game to game but for gaming a 5600 is far better than a 2700. But that is assuming you are CPU limited so unlikely to matter as much at 1440P or 4k or with less powerful gpus (if you are still running 1000 series or 2000 series)

      Maybe a bigger HDD or SSD too..

    • sdfgsdf6478 on 26/05/2021 - 15:02

      If you only care about gaming; get the latest gen AMD 6-core (5600X), or one of the last 2-3gen 6-core Intel (9400F, 10400F, 11400F).
      Note that you'd also require a different motherboard when buying Intel.

      This 2700x is OK for gaming, but not great value.

      • [Deactivated] on 26/05/2021 - 15:20

        2700X is fine people these days just comparing against benchmark websites and get scared. I had 2700X with a RTX3070 and no issues whatsoever. the 3600 is a negligible upgrade against a 2700X imo just keep it as a 2700X

        • sdfgsdf6478 on 26/05/2021 - 15:25

          Sure, it's fine. But if you're buying now, I'd get 5600x over 2700x.

            @sdfgsdf6478: Disagree.

            Games will need more than 6 cores very soon.

            Benchmarks now dont mean much as all the games are 2 odd years old tech wise.

            Looking at cyberpunk and valhalla a 2700x is more than fine.

      • frondono on 26/05/2021 - 15:30

        2700x with 5700 xt is still plenty good for 1440p gaming. Most of my games run between 80-120fps max settings.

    • daffyd on 26/05/2021 - 15:16

      If adding a GPU for gaming then you'd want to upgrade the power supply.

      The case is pretty small so won't fit a long GPU, so get the case upgrade (or may be fine with a small GPU if you can get hold of one, max 230mm stated)

        Thanks Nomad.. yeah.. it's either 3/6/12/24 months and nothing mentioned on the website. Bought a bit of stuff through Zip and like the no interest option. $5/mth for free finance is too hard to pass up.

        • Nomad2233 on 27/05/2021 - 22:28

          You could do a test checkout using zip and double check the interest free period, most seem to be 6 months but I think the 12 months is usually a special offer kinda scenario. Yeah I like the no interest payments, even if I have money still helps spread the money out more

          • Vladdo on 29/05/2021 - 09:39

            @Nomad2233: I don't think they want people to pay via Zip as it incurs a 5% surcharge. So a $1280 order costs $64!!!

    Can't say that I have had a good run with Techfast and could not honestly recommend them. Ordered and paid for my system on the 22nd of April and informed them of payment by bank transfer then duly waited 14 business days before inquiring about my order. Told that they had no record of any payment and this for a 3090 build! After a bit of a panic and scrambling to providing screen shots of the transfer details they said they would process my order and I was told that it would be built, tested and shipped last week. After hearing nothing again I finally contacted them Monday night this week. Today I got a reply and now I am being told that they don't have my video card in stock anymore and are hoping for/expecting new stock next week. Looks like I will need to wait a minimum of another 2 weeks to get my system. Leaves me regretting purchasing from them but nothing I can do about it, just hoping the wait is worth it.

      • mlenser on 26/05/2021 - 20:37

        Techfast blamed the initial delay on the fact that they didn’t receive an email from the ANZ when my transfer was received. I had used their contact form to tell them I had initiated the bank transfer on the day I did it and I received a reply that they would keep an eye out for it which obviously didn’t happen.

      Just to clarify for those reading, the order was always in our system. There was a payment verification delay, but the order itself was not delayed in any way by this. The 3090 didn't come in and then go to someone else as

      they don't have my video card in stock anymore

      reads here, and this wasn't communicated to the customer as such - they just haven't come in yet due to the global delays. Had the 3090 arrived and the order still not had payment verified, we would have contacted the customer to ensure the order was valid/paid for, before moving onto another order in the queue.

      I understand the frustration here but the order is very much live, fully processed, and will be fulfilled as soon as 3090 allocations come in.

        Apologies Luke, I may have misinterpreted the above email to infer that you had stock of the card on the 17th and that is why I was so disappointed when I had heard nothing by the following Monday and was then informed of the further delays. I eagerly await you securing stock of the 3090's so you can complete our orders.

        • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 28/05/2021 - 17:42

          No problems at all - this is one of the situations that has been happening a lot, with short or no shipments coming from distributors. We were advised of allocation the previous week, which just didn't arrive. It makes communication extremely difficult as we often get information that turns out to be incorrect. It has been the plague of the RTX 3000 series all over.

  • OSienna on 26/05/2021 - 21:44

    FYI, the bog standard case, CPU cooler and PSU in these builds are quite loud. They are REALLY built to a price. In a quiet environment, it will probably bother most people - even if it sits under a desk. Swapping those components out to spare your ears will cost somewhere between $150-200 if you want to factor that in.

    Otherwise, I can say that the workmanship is pretty good. Neat cable management, well packaged and decent after-sales support. Also, be prepared to wait as delays could add weeks to the delivery.

        Its just how 3080's are some people still havent got orders from other retailers from September last year. I waited about 3 1/2 months for mine from techfast and they are selling for ~$3k for just the card now so its well worth the wait.

      The order queue has significantly shortened as cards have been coming in and more are in bound - please email [email protected] so we can search up your order and give you your queue position, thanks!
