    any plans for AMD RX based builds ?

      I reckon a 6700xt deal would be great

      I always wonder the same, particularly as there are benefits AMD+AMD

    • solacens on 26/12/2022 - 12:24

      I thought someone will ask for TR. BTW I personally use AMD GPUs also. Drivers and crashing less frequent these years. And it looks consistent on full team red build.

      • Bargaingeek on 26/12/2022 - 12:37

        yes the driver issues are resolved, they've come a long way, very stable, the whole AMD sucks at drivers is just an nvidia marketing talking point, no longer valid.

    Ryzen 5 5500 3060Ti 8GB Gaming PC(techfast.com.au): $1148 after 5500-3060TI-DECEMBER

    wasnt it $1048 a month ago?

    • Bargaingeek on 26/12/2022 - 10:45

      yes it was cheaper

      • zorodluffy on 26/12/2022 - 10:45

        id pay 1148 if it was 5600 or 5600x for this deal, what are the chances?

    its a no from me, these guys take too long to get machines out the door, still no phone support because "covid"

          +3

          Man they're so much more expensive. $1800 for a 3060 build. $2500 for a 3080 build.

            @Shaunzki: techfast dont have most of the parts for your pc when you order, its only after you place your order, they order it from overseas, it arrives after a month then they start assembly.. then send it out to you, that's why it takes 2 months.. each business operates differently and yeah you can save but what will your machine be worth in 2 months??

        • zorodluffy on 26/12/2022 - 11:38

          yeah nah id rather wait and save $600

          • johnfuller on 26/12/2022 - 11:39

            @zorodluffy: time is money my friend :)

            if you can wait 2 months for a pc build then go for it .. the new pc hype will be killed ..

              @johnfuller: You haven't seen the gpu HODLers lol, they can wait 6 months to see gpu price drop another 100-200$. 600$ for 2 month? I would go for it anytime.

              • Dsiee on 26/12/2022 - 14:36

                @Masticccc: Haha, I'm sadly a HODLer who can't stop. Been waiting since I thought the 20 series was bad value. Maybe the 7700xt will be it? My 970 certainly struggles at 4k but it gets me by.

              @johnfuller: I think most people would pay maybe $100 more for a quicker service, not $600 more

                @Grish: I ordered a 3060ti build at near the end of November.
                Last I heard is they're hoping to finish building it ands end it by the end of this week.
                Not two months, but it's been a long time.

    • Franc-T on 26/12/2022 - 12:03

      Low support low speed delivery but low prices.

      Ordered a pc from them, will again. Its not how long it takes to deliver its that it will be delivered that is most important.

      • sbcbakedbeans on 26/12/2022 - 13:30

        Yeah but it's also very very important how long it takes to deliver, it doesn't really matter which is "most" important.

        • Franc-T on 26/12/2022 - 15:46
          +1

          May be fair point in your case - but it is not very very important for every buyer.

          Most buyers dont need a pc then and there and if they clearly indicate lead times, I dont have an issue with it as buyers can chose to buy from them or someone else if they need it quicker.

    I can't bring myself to buy systems with unclear computer parts.

    • Vorsprungdurchtech on 26/12/2022 - 12:30

      Same here

    • pinkybrain on 26/12/2022 - 23:26

      most likely most of the parts are bottom of the barrel stuff
      with cost cutting as the biggest factor.

  • Kingofthecoast on 26/12/2022 - 11:30

    Bought from Techfast - my pc was quick, good quality and I asked a question (about case) through support with a quick answer

    • Trishool on 26/12/2022 - 20:17
      +1

      How many hours or days is 'quick'?

  • Jengel on 26/12/2022 - 13:31

    Techfast were fine for me as a non-enthusiast - saved money and headaches of trying to put everything together myself. The whole "lucky dip" of graphics cards, where they class every 3080 card they stock as the same, would be frustrating to some people.
    As far as branding of all other parts - after looking up all my components, they're pretty much perfect for performance at a low price.

    As for wait times … I ordered a build with a GPU at a time when they weren't in the country. I was warned on the OZB listing before purchasing, that delivery times would be "after GPUs arrive in Australia". That part took 2 months.
    Shipping was fast once dispatched, and construction was otherwise finished a few days after I ordered.

  • soaringphoenix on 26/12/2022 - 13:50

    I'm looking at the Ryzen 7 5700X RTX 4080 Gaming PC

    Two questions:

    A) Would the 5700X bottleneck the GPU? (I'd be happy to pay a bit more for a faster processor if this is the case)

    B) Would I be able to upgrade the GPU in 4-5 years and keep using the system or would all the other components be so outdated that I'd need a completely new build?

    • Freestyle on 26/12/2022 - 14:16

      A) No Its adequate, even more so if you plan to play on 1440p or higher

      B) Depends, hard to predict the future but one thing to consider is we are changing generations from ddr4 to ddr5 RAM now. If you just play games it should be fine if you just upgrade GPU, if you do more professional work maybe not.

      • soaringphoenix on 26/12/2022 - 14:22

        Thanks mate, that's very helpful. I'd be playing at 4k and have no plans for using it for professional work.

        Any of the upgrades worthwhile (cooling or RAM)?

        • Freestyle on 27/12/2022 - 12:16

          ah I’d probably get a higher wattage PSU since that part is annoying to replace.

          Cooler should be fine sinces its a lower end CPU and gaming doesn’t use as much CPU powet as professional workloads

    • Franc-T on 26/12/2022 - 15:55

      Just have a think about this.

      A) If you buy a 4080, most of the cost of the build is the 4080 itself though it almost certainly last four years on the face of it.

      B) As the 3080 is really very capable - if you bought a 3080 system now, you pay half as much now meaning you can replace the whole pc entirely in 2 years if you need to with something almost certainly as fast/faster than the 4080 system you would have then vs a 4080 with aging parts plus you have a second pc to sell/give away/whatever.

      Theres lots of subtley around the specs of the pc etc as well but on the face of it this is my take, and this is how I do my upgrades generally (went from a 1070 to a 3070 and will skip this generation entirely in all likelyhood). I never get top of the line for a GPU, though still get very capable cards.

      • soaringphoenix on 26/12/2022 - 17:49

        Makes sense, but for me personally doesn't work so well on the 'half as much' (Which would require the 4080 build to be $1788 more, rather than the $1100 it is here). Totally agree with everything else however.

        I think the performance per dollar is close enough (even if the 4080 is objectively a poor value card relative to previous offerings).

  • LucidNinja on 26/12/2022 - 14:50

    What are the chances of all the 3080 components being able to fit in a matx case? I want a small form build 😅

    • Franc-T on 26/12/2022 - 15:59

      You 100% will need to know which model as some will fit and some wont, though you can have other issues than just the length (Cabling, fan height, other components etc).

      Personally I would never do so due to cooling issues.

      This is a handly list that has dimensions of a lot of 3080 cards and would be of some help if Techfast can help you with what model they will supply:

    • scottySK on 26/12/2022 - 16:43

      I have a full size atx psu and an matx motherboard with a 3080 inside an itx case (nr200). Most (just check dimensions) mATX cases will be more than adequate for a 3080 system

      • LucidNinja on 26/12/2022 - 16:58

        Yeah I know a bit case dependant but surely all bar the largest of cards will fit in a matx.

        • scottySK on 26/12/2022 - 17:21

          Only my antec nx200m couldn't fit a GPU once due to the length of the card. All the other mATX cases I've used have been accommodating of larger cards

  • ShinK0 on 26/12/2022 - 21:19

    https://www.bpctech.com.au/product/sv-xmas4080-01-siren-vort…

    I think this one is still the better deal. A newer gen CPU + double the storage and what seems to be better quality parts for $45 more. (With code: PC10)

    • KARMAAA on 27/12/2022 - 17:49

      What do you mean newer gen CPU?

      • ShinK0 on 27/12/2022 - 22:29
        -3

        It has a newer CPU.

        • KARMAAA on 27/12/2022 - 22:34

          5600 vs 5700x

          • ShinK0 on 27/12/2022 - 22:37
            -3

            @KARMAAA: No, Ryzen 7 5700x vs 5800x.

            I'm comparing the only two options with a 4080.

            • KARMAAA on 27/12/2022 - 22:38
              -1

              @ShinK0: That's not a new gen… Same generation, in fact the same chip/die, the only difference is one is lower quality silicon that's been power and frequency limited.

              • ShinK0 on 27/12/2022 - 22:43
                -3

                @KARMAAA: Glad you can google. Nevertheless it doesn't detract from my original statement, and that is I think the BPC build is better value.

    Posting this until I get a satisfactory response from someone at Techfast

    I would be EXTREMELY HESITANT ordering from this company

    I bought their i5-12400F | RTX 4080 16GB PC on the first of December last year..

    It has arrived today (so took 6 weeks door to door) in non-working condition with the GPU clearly poorly installed

    Having seen previous good or mixed reviews as a longterm OZB lurker I get the sense this company may have used to be more reliable but they've let their standards slip in light of COVID +/- other factors
    Super dissapointing and I guess most relevantly, at least to me the ordeal is NOT worth the small amount of cash saved buying through Techfast when compared to another company that would surely be faster and reliable..
