My current PC shit itself after a power failure during a BIOS update.
Yes, really.
Yes, I've tried to fix it (reset CMOS, flash bios externally, everything)
Yes, I've had a professional try to fix it.
Yes, I've asked for forum fixes EVERYWHERE.
No, I don't want to build a new PC again…

So now I need a new PC.
Mainly for CoD and MSFS at 2k ultra settings.

Been out of the buying-a-pc game for a while, is this a good deal? Or should I wait until Boxing Day sales?

Many thanks in advance,
Sad boi

      Go here and start building your own machine: https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/

      Then once happy with a spec and price point, shop around the usual suspects to cross-compare.

    Might as well get the current gen GPU if your budget is that high?

    Ryzen 5 5600, RTX 4080 16GB GPU, B550 MB, 16GB 3200MHz RAM, 500GB M.2 SSD, 750W Gold PSU: $2788 via Techfast.

    Techfast and Allied Gaming are the same company.

    Needs more storage but you can just migrate your existing drives to your new rig.

      yeah this is the much better deal to go with.

      It bums me out that they didn’t have a 3070Ti or 3080 desktop deal this Black Friday. I remember ones earlier this year being in the $1500-$2000 range - I would’ve been all over that.

      I guess my only worry would be the 5600 bottle-necking the 4080, even if I upgraded to the 5700x.
      But you're right, this is definitely the better deal. Thanks for this!

    With any luck OP, Techfast might repeat something like this deal around Boxing Day:

    Who really knows though…I expected it would happen again at Black Friday, but nope.

    It might not be obvious, but Allied and TechFast are sister brands and come from the same place & people.
