    Does this not come with windows installed ?

    • FireRunner on 03/08/2022 - 16:30

      It’s installed but not activated.

      If you buy a copy retail, it's expensive.
      You don't need one or can get one under $20 online.
      Standard for cost effective prebuilt.

        Some claim these keys aren't legit longterm but I've had no issues over last 12 years

        • Larsson on 03/08/2022 - 22:04

          Got mine from aliexpress for $1 I think. Year or so in, no issues still.

        • BooYa on 04/08/2022 - 02:41

          They are "legit" but they are not used for the purpose for which they were issued or sold.

          So, IT professionals get them for free or very cheap, and people then sell them.

          Technically they breach Microsoft's Terms and Conditions, but it's unlikely that they would know (or be able to prove) that you are not using the key for the intended purpose.

          So, they breach Microsoft T&Cs, but people are very unlikely to have their key revoked, and even if they did, you could just buy the retail version then, without affecting your PC in any way.

          So, it's more a matter of ethics, rather than practical use.

        • Danstar on 16/08/2022 - 07:15
          +1

          Yes. When the PC first boots, you press F12 (could be another key on some boards) and choose where you'd like to boot from. Have the USB drive inserted and choose that device and you'll be off

    • Synticulous on 03/08/2022 - 16:33

      Installed, not activated. BYO key from another system or buy another off a uni student with access to Microsoft software (or some shady dealer).

      Linux, simply not activating, or sailing the high seas works too.

    Jebus, I bought a similar spec system from tech fast for $2k around a year ago. Did I get rorted or have the prices really come down this much?

    • Shef3000 on 03/08/2022 - 17:06

      Both but anyone buying a GPU over the last 2 years got rorted

    • interfreak on 03/08/2022 - 17:06

      If it's a similar system then of course prices will come down a year later.

    • N1NJ4W4RR10R on 03/08/2022 - 18:13
      +3

      Both. PC parts were ridiculously overinflated last year and prices have plummeted over the past few months.

      Techfast are normally good for pricing so you probably paid a good rate for 2021, but even that was way over what the equivalent tier costed in 2019.

      The case is not as ugly as it looks in the photos. It's very dark and slick with the lights switched off. It's also silent. Only downside is that it's prone to dust as the front is very open.

  • D-Dub on 03/08/2022 - 19:11

    Is it worth upgrading from the Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite MB to the AMD X570 for an extra $10?

    • greatlamp on 03/08/2022 - 23:21
      +2

      That question isn't possible to answer as the page doesn't say what the x570 board is.

      The b550 Aorus Elite has a very good VRM setup. It is entirely possible the x570 board is not as good.

      That being said with a 5600 CPU even the default motherboard will be fine. You aren't going to get better performance by spending more on the motherboard just more features. The only thing you would need is a wifi dongle, or you could get an excellent pcie wifi card with plenty of money to spare.

      Techfast prices aren't good when you start upgrading components, the best value is the system as advertised. I wouldn't upgrade the motherboard if I was buying this.

      • MuddyClear on 04/08/2022 - 00:29

        Techfast prices aren't good when you start upgrading components,…

        True. You have to deal with the standard ugly case, standard cpu fan, and cheap PSU. And don’t forget you have to factor in $99 delivery for PC to arrive 3 months later, and hopefully not DOA, which has happened to many.

      • D-Dub on 04/08/2022 - 11:57

        Thanks, much appreciated.

    Build it yourself and choose the parts you want. I was considering a built system, but the ugly cases, warranty return to base concerns, and mix of good and average components put me off. First time builder, it took me 3 hours start to finish. I had to do maybe a day of worth of research/preparation - a lot of which was understanding which components to choose. It's really not that hard.

    • Chicken risotto on 03/08/2022 - 22:13

      I got a techfast computer and the parts were just "ok". Which is 100% fine with me at this price point. I don't need to overclock my computer, I don't want to do anything fancy. The only thing I'd change is putting a decent nvme SSD in as a system disk and using the supplied one to store games, but even that isn't absolutely necessary

    Hi, would you consider upgrading the power supply, for an extra price?

    • Nalar on 04/08/2022 - 20:12

      Yes, More power efficient usually pays off over 5years of 100% uptime.

      • BooYa on 04/08/2022 - 21:28

        Also allows for any future upgrades.

        Power supply issues are some of the hardest to diagnose, because they are usually transient, and can occur in any part of the system.

    These deals are pretty good, but I always find the shipping kills it for me.

    $50+ regular and $100+ for express just chokes the value out of it, particularly given many retailers offer free shipping.

    Given, as far as I can tell, collection isn't an option, ~$1350 is realistically how much you will pay for the system shipped, which is essentially what it costs to buy the parts as listed above.

    Is it value for a prebuilt, yes. Is it value for someone who can build their own, probably not.

    • BooYa on 04/08/2022 - 12:23

      One bonus for people who aren't experienced building their own PCs, is that all the hardware (and I assume firmware and drivers) is installed, ready to use.

      People building their own system risk damaging a part (by static electricity for example, which most people don't use) or that a part could be faulty, which requires replacement (it also requires figuring out which part is not working or causing problems).

      I have found that setting up all the hardware, drivers, OS, with all the updates (which sometimes can only be installed a few at a time, before restarting), running part checks (hard drive and memory read/write tests, etc) so it takes a lot of my time to make sure everything is setup perfectly.

      So, for most people, I would definitely advise that they buy a pre-built system (unless you just want to do it for the fun of it or something).

    been serving me well so far, able to do most games at full resolution

    Only problem i've been having is at times the computer freezes every 5 minutes and you have to reboot it, not too sure what's wrong with it but happy with the machine itself

    • Danstar on 06/08/2022 - 13:40

      Most likely bloatware. I found the Razer app caused some games to freeze intermittently.

      Also have you have the PC a clean? As dust could be overheating it

      • Leleone on 08/08/2022 - 15:40

        yep, have it dusted every quarter

    • BooYa on 06/08/2022 - 16:41

      Monitor your CPU temperature, it could be overheating.

      • Leleone on 08/08/2022 - 15:41

        it usually happened as soon as i start my CPU, and even with high temperature things usually still run quite smoothly

  • BooYa on 14/08/2022 - 18:30

    For system monitoring and fault tracing, Sysinternals is one of the best ways (or even the best way) to monitor and diagnose your PC https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/

    It's a little jem which not many people have heard of, but is very worthwhile using.
