G'day fallas, first post so let me know if I've done anything wrong, or left something out.

Full Spec List:
* Intel® Core™ i9-9900KF Processor
* Gigabyte Z390 UD LGA1151 ATX Motherboard
* Kingston 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3200Mhz RGB Version
* MSI RTX 3060 GAMING X 12gb Graphic Card
* Corsair 4000D Airflow Tempered Glass ATX Case
* Coolermaster V Gold 650W 80PLUS Gold Modular Power Supply
* 500GB NVMe SSD
* 2TB 3.5" HDD
* 1x front and 1x Rear 120mm fans included

The GPU is LHR. And they don't really specify which SSD and HDD they got. However, there doesn't seem to be any compromises in any of the other specs. Full ATX Z-type motherboard, 650W 80Plus gold modular, dual-channel 16gb 3200 mhz (rgb if you care), and a i9-9900KF. I know there are better CPU's out there, mainly Ryzen ones with similar price for better performance (multi-core at least), but for gaming at the very least, this CPU holds up fine and seems to be good for the price.
PSU also supposedly has a 10-year warranty, not familiar with that aspect so don't know how nominal that is. Only thing is that there are only 2 fans included and no wifi adapter, but you can easily buy 2 more fans for like 40-50 bucks, and unfortunately you'll have to cough up 60-70 dollars if you need wifi. Estimated shipping time according to description seems to be about 2 weeks. So not great but just take it as a rough estimate if you will.

Honestly, did a light search for prebuilt PC's and I think this is a good deal but I wanted to hear what ozbairganers had to say, and if it is then why not post it for people. You could probably get something with a better GPU around the same price, maybe even a 3060 ti, but I've found that usually they have a worse CPU.

        If you happened to want these specific parts then it's ok. It seems unbalanced and a pretty narrow use case, though. You can also get a 10700kf (about the same as the 9900kf) and newer motherboard for the same price if you were buying components, and this is a terrible motherboard if you actually want to overclock to make the most of this CPU (check reviews).

        If buying for gaming you're better off skimping on other parts and getting a 3060Ti ($1048 at techfast, so less than you have this specific model of 3060 at) or 6700xt as the GPU will be the limiting factor for gaming. If not gaming then the GPU is wasted.

        So I guess this will suit you if you do heavy multicore/multithreaded work and occasional 1080p gaming or play older games (eg Witcher 3 should run great at 1440p, cyberpunk definitely won't) or maybe a little bit of 3D modelling in blender or similar from time to time.

        To be specific, if buying a prebuilt today for gaming around this price point I'd spend $100-200 more and get this techfast PC https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/658509
        Personally I'd go for the PSU upgrade and wifi motherboard but the PC would be fine without those.
        They'll probably have a similar or better deal in November in the lead up to black Friday.

            @giordan0: Why would you buy one (outside of a PC/bundle) when you can get a 10700KF for less, and a Z490 motherboard for about the same price?

  • incipient on 31/10/2021 - 14:45

    I think the 9th gen is starting to show its age. An 11600 seems to be better value at this stage. It's generally faster, and a good bit cheaper.

    • TimR31 on 31/10/2021 - 15:08

      If you've got workloads that benefit from more cores/threads, is this better than more modern 6c/12t?

      • incipient on 31/10/2021 - 16:31

        The 11600 is about even with this on multicore tasks, possibly worse in some areas, probably better if you can use new instruction sets. But basically even. For less green.

      It's really not, it's barely behind the current gen on performance.

      • incipient on 31/10/2021 - 17:52
        +1

        Depending on the exact price for each part, with a 11600 you're basically paying $200 less for a part that performs fairly similarly, and sometimes better. Around $350 vs $550, ish.

      • Hank Scorpion on 01/11/2021 - 14:25

        This 9th gen chip is pretty much a 10700KF, not really that old.

        They're obviously discounting the 9th gen parts to get to this price, changing them 9th for 11th gen probably wouldn't result in any savings.

      Generally speaking Apple gets you less bang for buck in terms of processing power.

        There was an anecdotal comment saying that they received a 3060 when they ordered a 3060 Ti and a power supply that was of a weaker spec than what was ordered.

        The machine I purchased had the right parts, however the tower cpu heatsink fan was making clicking noise and had to be replaced, and it was also installed pointing the wrong way (exhausting air to the front of the case rather than the back). Spent $17 on a replacement fan, asked for the reimbursement but BPC did not reply or just didn't bother.

        Clear also had an issue with liquid cooler mounted incorrectly.

        Just small things that are not a huge issue if you know how to identify it. Well, apart from buying a 3060 Ti and getting a non-Ti.

          Not to mention they lied about the USB-C port in the Corsair 4000D would work with the motherboard despite not having a USB-C header. Then the solution they offered they never went through with when accepted.

          It would seem the motherboard in this deal does have the correct header at least.

            Don't hesitate to contact our FB Team with your order number, and if possible, the name of the signature on the Thank you card.

            Have you met any thermal problems? Because the reason why the fans are all set to exhaust is to set negative room pressure in the build. Therefore the air will be sucked from the bottom automatically.

            As for the EVGA flow control issue, have you tried to update or reinstall the EVGA flow control driver, or have you tried to manage the RGB from the motherboard sync software?

            We definitely can manage the return and full refund to you, If you are not happy with the build.

      This cooling design is very poor. The cooler is the redux version, it is not enough to run 9900k at stock even. Intel k series can use way more than TDP when u remove power limiter. And I would assume they won't put enough fans to keep air flow high to remove the hot air. Air cooler relies on good case fan to work well unlike AIO, which is the exhaust itself. And the mobo is basic too.
      If buy this bundle, get three arctic p12. Put two on the cooler, and one as the exhaust fan facing the cooler, put the included case fan as intake, the noctua redux fan on the top

            @Clear: It's a fantastic case only if u can take advantage of the low air resistance. One intake and one exhaust fan is not enough to keep the CPU and GPU cool at low load. I prefer to keep CPU temp 15 C above ambient temp

      Perhaps:

      • Rebate by supplier/manufacturer due to age of parts;
      • Rebate by ^/^ to move stock;
      • Sell some parts at a loss to move stock (esp since 12th gen Intel is around the corner, and some of those parts are old or not great).
      • Received more stock at cheaper price, and using that stock in pre-builts whilst maintaining high (old) pricing for individual items (e.g., if BPC received more RTX3060's at a lower cost per card, they may use those cards in these builds and sell older cards for the same price seperately, rather than reducing retail price according to the average, reduced, cost per card).

      From my experience in tech retail, there's heaps of ways BPC could do this - and sometimes while maintaining margins :)
      Hope that helped!

      Economies of scale

    bunch of 3yr old parts they are trying to get rid of by bundling it with a 30 series

    People above are whinging about older parts being mixed in to the components, but pricing this system up I can't see how you could buy each of the components on your own for cheaper.

    Good post OP, have a plus vote.

  • Serpeant on 31/10/2021 - 16:58

    Seems a good deal unless you need the latest gen CPU!

    • kaikor on 31/10/2021 - 18:35

      Quick way is to buy the new released Alienware Aurora R13, then you can get the latest 12th gen Intel prebuilt machine, but is like paying 2.5X more …

  • cristobaljames on 31/10/2021 - 17:36

    Wish they offered the Ti upgrade as an option..

    • LegitimatelyLegit on 01/11/2021 - 12:44

      They now offer it for $350 extra. For reference, RTX 3060 by itself ~ $950, RTX 3060 Ti ~ $1200.

    I've checked this GPU and it doesn't seem to have a PCIE slot at the back

    What does that even mean…?

      Confused also.

      • LegitimatelyLegit on 31/10/2021 - 19:02

        Yeah I meant the PCIe power connectors, sorry for the wrong wording. Removed that part cause I realised how unnecessary that is considering it's a prebuilt.

        • viper8548 on 31/10/2021 - 23:44

          what do you mean by the GPU doesn’t have power connectors?? i’m pretty sure the 3060 does

    • Lonewolf1983 on 31/10/2021 - 18:30

      Would mean the pcie power plugs I'd say

  • Dealgogogo on 31/10/2021 - 17:51

    Still expensive though, expect to see some much cheaper builds, 9900kf is still usable but definite not an ideal choice.

    There's still stock of Intel 9th gen cpu? 12 gen out in a few days.

    Not windows 11 certified, so a discount will be required to buy this system for Windows 10.

        Not really, I'm sure Microsoft can.

        • askbargain on 31/10/2021 - 19:25

          It’s okay, most people are used to not getting software updates for their devices.

            @askbargain: I'll agree, my phones never been updated before, however with the pc I'm divided on that.

            I'm hoping windows 10 becomes the anti Christ to windows 11 and the sheer number of hardware parts flooding the market (given crypto people only want the GPU, and SSD) would make people consider what value is, and paying a fortune for Windows 11 (because clearly Microsofts thought hard about it, after the countless products they've abandoned over the years) because that's essentially what people will be doing.

            And when the next arrival of gpu's come out, people will have to make one huge moral conscious buying purchase on what's important to them.

            Windows 10, with affordable parts + expensive GPU.

            Or

            Windows 11 with expensive everything.

              @LoserScott: Are you sure?
              My 9600k installs win11 just fine. I'm pretty sure 11 is supported by 8th gen intel and over?

              • Clear on 31/10/2021 - 20:42

                @Thongus: You are correct. Some 7th Gen CPUs are also supported officially.

              • askbargain on 31/10/2021 - 21:05

                @Thongus: It works fine, OP is just bs’ing to see if he can get a further discount.

            • askbargain on 31/10/2021 - 21:05

              @LoserScott: If you want the latest, pay for it.

    A mate of mine bought a prebuilt from these guys recently. Despite the "testing" done before shipping. it came with a faulty cpu fan that was shorting out the 2nd fan and pump on the aio cooler. led's werent plugged into the hub, and despite paying extra for an internal wifi Bluetooth card, he had no Bluetooth because the build now has 3 internal usb components and only 1 usb header on the board being split into 2. The support he got was pretty poor too, had to call multiple times to get any help, and waited weeks for a replacement fan after someone "forgot" to send it.

      Hi Bloggs24,

      We are sorry to hear about your friend's experience.

      Would that be possible for you to ask him for the order number? We will look into the order and talk to the technician who built his PC.

      Regards
      BPC Team
