    i5-10400 6 core 4ghz cpu
    Compared to a 7th generation i7, this 10th generation cpu has more cores and threads, is newer and 10 percent faster

    I don't think any company would want to spend extra money just to get that 10 percent boost. Or at least you didn't convince me.

      Well, if you actually look at some tests, not that userbenchmark spam, it seems that the difference is a little bit bigger: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/Intel-i5-10400-vs-Intel… from a score of 8634 to 12318 it's a 42% increase.

      • Associatedcoathanger007 @ Price Performance PC on 23/03/2022 - 00:23

        Thanks for the heads up. Yes, we were very conservative in the comparison. Many people don't distinguish between i5 cpus. A more recent generation i5 can be faster than an earlier generation i7.

    Is the Windows 10 Pro an actual OEM or Retail version where you get the physical Microsoft packaging and key or just a pre-installed, pre-activated version?

    • Associatedcoathanger007 @ Price Performance PC on 23/03/2022 - 00:35

      These are retail licences which can be verified following these instructions https://youtu.be/b8bLw50QvCk

      • BROKENKEYBOARD on 23/03/2022 - 01:29

        Even my MSDN license shows up as retail. A better tell for if its genuine or not is whether it comes with the physical items like the sticker and disc/USB and I'm guessing it comes with neither.

        • Associatedcoathanger007 @ Price Performance PC on 23/03/2022 - 06:24

          Windows 10 devices do not come with a COA sticker or Product key in general, because Windows 10 uses digital licencing and that device will have a digital entitlement to run Windows 10 stored on the Microsoft Activation Servers. Feel free to contact Microsoft to determine if your key is valid. If you need to reinstall Windows you can use the Windows media creation tool https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/software-download/windows10

      • HomeAlone on 23/03/2022 - 02:40

        The "RETAIL" license shown in that video is the generic Windows 10 Pro key that is assigned:

        • During a Windows 7/8 to 10 upgrade
        • When activating a new Windows 10 install using a Windows 7/8 key
        • When activating using an exploit like ####### (edit: name removed as I'm not sure if mentioning it is permitted here)

        VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T

        If anyone buying this sees 3V66T when following the instructions in the video then that should be taken as verification that it is NOT actually a legit Windows 10 Pro key.

      • DonWilson on 25/03/2022 - 00:12

        Frankly your price is impossible without basically free Windows licenses. A retail license of Pro is > $150 even at wholesale. Only top tier OEMs like Dell and Lenovo can bargain noticeably below that and then it's OEM licenses. This is dodgy.

        • Associatedcoathanger007 @ Price Performance PC on 26/03/2022 - 06:55

          The guys at Tech Yes City have been promoting Windows 10 license keys through SCDkeys for 15USD for years without any issue. We don't source through them but giving an example of how cheap these license keys can be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZlf1EmV2OA

          Even major reviewers like Toms Hardware advocate getting a cheap key from third party sellers https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/get-windows-10-free-or-…
          You really have to ask the question why Microsoft have done nothing with massive resellers like Kinguin. Microsoft aren't trying to get your dollars directly. Your data is more valuable.

          Doubt there are any ozbargainers paying $150 for a usb and box. It's not the ozbargain way.
          If you can't be bothered using the Microsoft media creation tool and must have the Windows 10 DVD, MSY are selling these for $139 https://www.msy.com.au/dandenong/software/2105-microsoft-ms-…

  • shaidas on 23/03/2022 - 00:23

    Plenty of used Dell and HP machines around… I am not sure how buying old machines and changing the chasis and adding on ddr4 RAM makes it a deal …

    • Associatedcoathanger007 @ Price Performance PC on 23/03/2022 - 00:37

      The difference with custom casing is they can be recased and upgraded easily without being hampered by proprietary connectors. Also tend to have better airflow than small form factor builds.

        An off-the-shelf case is preferable for upgrading, true. Your absolute bargain basement mobo and PSU isn't though - It'd likely be less painful to just purchase a whole new system for someone who hasn't researched and installed a new mobo or PSU before

    • dcep on 23/03/2022 - 00:48

      how much is 10th gen used dell / hp pc ?

      didn't see any posted here before

      • garage sale on 23/03/2022 - 06:50

        with microsoft not supporting windows11 on earlier than gen 8 , and mainstream windows 10 going end of support eventually, buying a used machine that doesn’t support windows 11 might be a bit of a dead end if used in an office environment .

        windows 11 is where the new features are for OS.

    • Merlict on 23/03/2022 - 00:55

      I think this is the opposite, the case is used and the parts are new

      • shaidas on 24/03/2022 - 23:17

        That would make it a good deal mate..Why not buy it then ? I would if I thought that was the case..no pun intended

  • Solrak on 23/03/2022 - 00:31

    Anymore info on the PSU used? 80+ bronze??

  • incipient on 23/03/2022 - 01:01

    Could you not swap the 128gb nvme to a 256gb sata for a similar price? Would be more in line with the "budget performance, but still productivity focused".

    I don't think an office pc really needs a presumably fast nvme?

    And save yourself the time and just go with a clean windows iso out of the box? (don't preload stuff)

    • Associatedcoathanger007 @ Price Performance PC on 23/03/2022 - 01:15

      using m2 slot saves system builders time rather than screwing in drives and running. cables and cable tying cables ….. don’t think it’s a performance thing but easier to install.

      • incipient on 23/03/2022 - 12:08

        Nvme and sata refer to the interface, whereas m2 is the connector. It's perfectly possible to get sata over m2.

        Data being a slower and older tech, should have cheaper drives than nvme.

    $450 for the PC but $1000 for delivery?
    Excuse me?

    • Associatedcoathanger007 @ Price Performance PC on 23/03/2022 - 06:27

      The reason for that fee was to prevent interstate purchases. As per the ad click and collect or contactless delivery can be arranged around Melbourne.
      If you would like to deliver interstate please contact us to discuss.

      • Kyx on 23/03/2022 - 06:36

        Easier to just say offer for Melbourne only than putting that $1000 delivery.

        • Associatedcoathanger007 @ Price Performance PC on 23/03/2022 - 06:54

          Thank you for your feedback. We have removed the $1000 fee and replaced it so there are no shipping options interstate. Please contact us directly to discuss options on a per customer basis.

    $1450 delivered must be a joke right op? Various gaming pcs offered on here like the 3060 deal from Techfast are cheaper, all brand new and so much better than this. Even brand new gaming laptops are cheaper. $1000 for delivery? Is this from another planet? Uranus maybe? Or op might just want traffic to their website?

    • Associatedcoathanger007 @ Price Performance PC on 23/03/2022 - 06:35

      See our response above. The high fee was to prevent interstate delivery. Compared to the Techfast system we have double NVMe storage, better quality DDR4 and Phanteks case. Really comes down to personal preference. If you're just after a rock bottom price then you'll get what you pay for.

        See my reply to your explanation above. Putting in $1000 in delivery makes you look dodgy.

      Though this is one of the easiest desktops to upgrade, opening the case for modifications will void the warranty. Please return to base for upgrades unless you know what you're doing.

      • KLF23 on 23/03/2022 - 08:44

        I'm not sure that's how warranties work.

        • Associatedcoathanger007 @ Price Performance PC on 23/03/2022 - 09:16

          It's quite simple really. Let's say you open the case to add in a stick of ram. However you've inserted the stick in the wrong direction and try to force it in damaging the ram slot. Or you want to change the psu and see two 8 pin plugs but shove the PCIe 8 pin plug into the cpu connector on the motherboard. Or you're eating a soft serve cone from Maccas and some of that creamy goodness drips onto the motherboard shorting it out. These and a whole lot more can go wrong and are not covered by warranty. So unless you know what you're doing do not open the case.

            @coathanger007: The examples you provided are "If you damage the product, no warranty", which is fair enough. Customer caused damage isn't warrantable.

            What you have said is "If you open it, no warranty" which is not legally enforceable in Australia.

      • miarn on 23/03/2022 - 11:08

        You might want to read up on the Australian Consumer Law because this is incorrect, and it's an offence to mislead customers about their warranty rights.

        • Associatedcoathanger007 @ Price Performance PC on 23/03/2022 - 14:37

          There are many retailers who place a seal on the case. A customer is not doing themselves any favours by breaking the seal and tinkering with components. If a fault occurs it is best practice to return to base for repair rather than doing a diy potentially causing further damage.

            @coathanger007: That may be the case, but your assertion that "opening the case for modifications will void the warranty" is illegal.

            • Associatedcoathanger007 @ Price Performance PC on 23/03/2022 - 15:29

              @miarn: Yes consumer guarantees still apply regardless of the voluntary store warranty.

    With 8gb of RAM no one is losing out on efficiency gains here from having a old DDR3 machine.

    • Associatedcoathanger007 @ Price Performance PC on 23/03/2022 - 10:04

      It's not just about memory capacity but memory and cpu speeds. Generally DDR3-1333 has a peak transfer rate of 10667 MB/s. DDR4-2666 has a peak transfer rate of 21300 MB/s. Also see above for the performance difference of a 10th gen i5 compared to a 7th gen i7.
