        Am4's a dead end platform, not much future proofing there unless you want the extra m.2 slots.

        • megadeth on 26/05/2023 - 00:51

          That’s the name of the socket I guess (coming from the intel world), think 5500 and 5600 both use this socket and actually on their way out, but of course you’re not paying through the nose for them in this bargain anyway. It’s the 3060 + a cheap system to mount it on.

    nice upgrade over the 4060Ti… 😂

    • bopter12 on 24/05/2023 - 16:03
      +27

      What a massive disappointment the 4060Ti turned out to be!
      For those unaware, the 3060Ti beats the 4060Ti in several scenarios at 1440p and 4K… mainly due to memory bandwidth as opposed to VRAM capacity.
      The 4060Ti is a shockingly bad value gpu.

      • Nomad2233 on 24/05/2023 - 16:50

        Damn! I didn't think it was going to be that bad. Ignoring the bandwidth issues I assume the 4060ti is 8gb too ?

        • bunnybash on 24/05/2023 - 17:59

          Yup, there is a 12gb version that you have to pay $100USD more for. The normal one is only 8gb though. The 12gb still has the tiny memory bandwidth though. It’s a terrible purchase if you care about future proofing in even the slightest way.

        • bopter12 on 24/05/2023 - 18:02
          +4

          Yeah it’s 8GB but there is a 16GB version being released a little later (not sure of dates).
          However, the issue is with the lower memory bandwidth so adding more VRAM won’t address the bandwidth bottleneck.

      • Robbo014 on 24/05/2023 - 17:18

        Is it only the 4060ti that struggles with its predecessor?

        • dudleydoright on 24/05/2023 - 19:12

          Of this generation, yeah. No matter how crappy value they were the other 40 series cards absolutely smoke their 30 series counterparts in performance, though not in price/performance.

          • ssfps on 25/05/2023 - 01:26

            @dudleydoright: "absolutely smoke" is very generous, the smoking was done with fake frames. without the latency-as-a-feature, the 40 series is basically a modest generational upgrade for a lot more power draw, overall fairly shit returns for the improved lithography.
            then of course, as this comment thread is about, nvidia is going the AMD path and gimping memory bandwidth in order to prevent cards being as useful intergenerationally, i.e. to avoid competing with themselves in the future.

    Any radeon deals in the future? Most of the nvidia cards have really low vram

  • Dauphin on 24/05/2023 - 16:12

    Hey Luke - how many M.2s slot on the standard A320 motherboard and B550 motherboard?
    Also do you offer an upgrade for a M.2 wifi card rather than a USB or PCIE one?

    • Elijha on 24/05/2023 - 16:21

      Why would you want to use up a m2 with wifi though?

      • netsurfer on 24/05/2023 - 16:35
        +4

        Cheaper, just buy the m.2 wifi card. Another advantage is that it takes up much less space compared to a standard PCIe x1 card. Though, normally, you would prefer the motherboard has the provision for the antennas as well.

        However, for this package, I doubt even the B550 has the m.2 slot for wifi (normally, it is a special m.2 slot wired to PCIe x1). Using a PCIe x4 m.2 slot for wifi isn't worth it.

      • Dauphin on 24/05/2023 - 18:30

        Because I want to …. and because of the reasons that @netsurfer has listed.

        Behind the question is wanting more clarity around what the specs on the available motherboards are.

        @luketechfast could you please assist us and give us more detail on what the specs are for each of the motherboard options?

        Understand there maybe some variations.

    • [Deactivated] on 25/05/2023 - 09:14
      +1

      Neither board they offer has an E-key for M.2. wifi, you need an Asrock board for that generally, they're the only board manufacturer with E-key slots that isn't a wifi board

  • botchie on 24/05/2023 - 16:41

      Yes it is!

      Imagine though if you bought some meatballs from a supermarket and the packet didn't tell you the ingredients…. how much meat does it contain?

      I think @luketechfast is giving us great details, it would be the best out there if they could provide some clarity around some of the motherboards

      • botchie on 24/05/2023 - 19:44

        i mean the card is $599 so for extra $200 you could be getting dead parts and it would be almost worth it :)
        I assume you will get the crapest of the crap

  • BigTacoBandit on 24/05/2023 - 16:42

    Whats the benefits in upgrading the mobo to a B550? Future proofing?

    • Jimbuscus on 24/05/2023 - 16:51
      +2

      Normally PCIe Gen 4, which has double the bandwidth per PCI lane, this only means double the NVMe speed.

    • netsurfer on 24/05/2023 - 16:51
      +6

      Depends on which B550 Techfast provides. Normally, a proper B550:

      • PCIe gen 4 x16 slot support. Unfortunately, Ryzen 5 5500 does not support PCIe gen 4.
      • One m.2 PCIe gen 4 x4 NVMe support (instead of PCIe gen 3 x4 on the A320). Unfortunately, you know (the CPU doesn't support this).
      • PCIe gen 3 x1 slot(s) instead of PCIe gen 2 x1 slot(s).
      • (Maybe) another m.2 slot with PCIe gen 3 x4 support.

      Ryzen 5 5500 kinda defeats getting B550. Also, all the benefits you get with a proper B550, if you need them, you probably prefer to do a DIY setup.

      The main deal does NOT have a CPU upgrade option, so really think about it. If you want PCIe gen 4, then you need to pick a different configuration altogether.

      • BigTacoBandit on 24/05/2023 - 16:57

        Ok, thanks for the feedback - will just leave it. Might upgrade to 1tb ssd although $100 extra seems a bit steep

        • jsediv on 24/05/2023 - 17:05
          +7

          Do the upgrade yourself and use the money you saved to get an M.2 enclosure for the 500gb included in this build

        • Dauphin on 24/05/2023 - 18:34

          A wise move

      • buffalo bill on 30/05/2023 - 12:41

        I'm using a B550 with gen3 NVME storage and a GTX1080. The real stitch up is the 5500 has half the cache of the 5600 and pretty sure the difference would be visible in gaming FPS. Not worth the few dollars savings IMO.

  • Jimbuscus on 24/05/2023 - 16:50

    We are actually at console killer pricing again, Too bad RX7000/RTX4000 are so poorly priced.

    • Phreakuency on 24/05/2023 - 17:33
      +1

      Amazing price for the performance at medium settings and 1080 to 1440 but it doesn’t compare to PS5 or XSX performance in actual games.

      This can’t so 4K, even upscaled like modern consoles and certainly can’t do the optimised ray tracing that PS5 does on its first party games.

      • Jimbuscus on 24/05/2023 - 17:37
        -2

        If you are sitting 50cm-80cm from your Computer, 1080p 25' is comparable to 4K 70' 1.5m from TV.

        +1

        Two years ago we saw LTT put together a rig with a GTX 1070 that could compete on some titles against an XSX - I'd assume a 3060Ti would actually be able to compete on all if not surpass

      • JerraJones on 24/05/2023 - 23:34
        +1

        PS5/XSX has somewhere around 2080 super gpu horsepower and a lower clocked 3700x in terms of cpu grunt. The 3060ti is between 2080 super and 2080ti in terms of performance, this 100% matches current consoles which don't even benefit from dlss/rtx.

        certainly can’t do the optimised ray tracing that PS5 does on its first party games.

        PS5 does 4k 30fps with ray tracing on and usually at a dynamic resolution, remember that consoles use an amd gpu which is considerably slower in ray tracing. 3060ti will crush consoles in ray tracing games.

        • mkt2 on 27/05/2023 - 01:09

          I feel like people look at and compare the raw specs and ignore a lot of the optimization and work that goes into making sure games run smoothly on consoles. Versus, games on PC need a lot more care, maintenance and tweaking to get to run smoothly with even much better hardware. Look at the release of Jedi Survivor recently as an example.

          IMO consoles still shine at being just plug and play, start it up and it does the job.

  • eksman on 24/05/2023 - 16:54

    wanting some advice. currently have an i5 9600k OC'd to 4.5ghz with a 1070 graphics card.
    would buying this be much of an upgrade?

    seems like 3060ti still around $600 give or take.

    • netsurfer on 24/05/2023 - 17:01
      +2

      Depends on how much you want that 3060Ti. The rest of the computer doesn't feel like an upgrade at all. So, do you have a need for another PC?

      Basically, $200 for Ryzen 5 5500, a dirt cheap AM4 board hacked with beta BIOS, cheap RAM modules, el cheapo 500GB SSD (better hope it is not a QLC), PSU and a case.

      • eksman on 24/05/2023 - 17:12
        +2

        yeah you summed it up right , 200 dollars for everything else excluding GPU.

        In terms of actual need for new PC, can hand it down old one to my son who uses a laptop with a 1050ti gpu. But i do not want to mix and match parts from old to new, hence thinking if the included parts would actually be a worse net gain/loss especially the cpu.

        • netsurfer on 24/05/2023 - 18:16

          Well, CPU is probably about the same (but you OC'd your i5 9600K). Memory, I don't think you put DDR4-3600 in your Intel based PC, but you might have a low CL DDR4-3200 kit (but that's already overclocked frequency for 9th gen). Motherboard, 9th gen intel would be at least fully PCIe gen 3. A320 is PCIe gen 2 except the PCIe x16 slot is wired to the CPU, probably the m.2 slot as well (so those are PCIe gen 3). I still consider that a motherboard downgrade.

          Only you know what's best for you. Spend more and get a proper upgrade or get this seemingly reasonable deal when you add all the parts up. My limited experience with TechFast is mixed. I've only gotten cheap GPUs from them.

          Mix and match shouldn't be an issue. Those parts are $200 worth roughly. They are not super duper cool parts in today's standard.

          • AndrewMTG on 24/05/2023 - 19:47

            @netsurfer: I'm tempted to buy this …

            • netsurfer on 24/05/2023 - 21:50

              @AndrewMTG: I'm not stopping you (not that I can stop you anyway). From a bit of checking on your past comments:

              • Has TechFast helped you fix the RAM timing issue for the 6700 XT build? No more blue screens?
              • You know tech so you don't really need my help. I can't quite get you want me to talk you out of it or talk you into it.
              • My gut feel is that it's best to avoid getting another similar built PC, unless one of your family members is in need for another PC. I get the FOMO factor. This deal can be quite tempting to a lot people.

              It's not going to be a big issue if you were to purchase this. As I see it, this is essentially a cost effective gaming PC build right now (basically, buying the cheapest). Majority parts are being sold to you at rock bottom prices. GPU prices are not going to be heavily discounted any time soon.

              • AndrewMTG on 24/05/2023 - 22:18

        You MUST have 3 INtake fans (extra cost) -> https://techfast.com.au/products/AMD-Ryzen-5-5500-RTX3060-Ti…
        'Leaper Air Maverick' looks great: white with RGB mesh-font & most importantly good airflow to cool your HOT-systems. It's out-of-stock but will be available again. Spec. -> https://techfast.com.au/products/Intel-Core-i5-12400F-RTX-30…

        TF's 'low-end' deals: Mobo & PSU can only cope with factory settings, NO-OC.

        I'd say over 10-20% CPU bottleneck unless 4K gaming. Agree better to go a 5600 with a 3060Ti, both have more cache and are better for gaming.

        • Nomad2233 on 30/05/2023 - 15:49

          Yeah I agree. 5600 is such a good CPU for what is is, I'm biased as i had a 3600 for years too haha.

    • [Deactivated] on 25/05/2023 - 09:21

      Unless you cheaped out when you built it, you're going to have a much better case, PSU, RAM and cooling than what this comes with. So its just the 3060Ti. I'd just buy a CPU/Mobo/GPU upgrade and sell your 9600K + Z390 + 1070. A Z390 + 9600K combo sold for $350 last month on eBay.

    THis is a better deal than getting a PS5.

    Of all the PS5 games, the ones that interest me are also ported to PC.

    And you can play FOrza Motorsport on PC.

    So besides Gran Turismo 7, there's nothing going on for the the PS5 (for me).

      Do you own PC version of those games? By the way, Microsoft stopped the $1 new user special for GamePass and GamePass Ultimate.

      Forza motorsport 8, you still need to wait. Forza motorsport 7 or below, you need to own them already. Microsoft no longer sells them (car licensing ended) and they are not on GamePass.

      Anyway, no more PS Plus collection so unless you are willing to pay PS Plus Extra, you won't have access to those games on PS5 either (I assume you don't have a PS4 either). Sony doesn't make much money on the console (if any). Sony cares more about you buying games.

        You can buy games on Steam (including the ones from Sony)… no need for PS Plus Extra.

        And no I don't own any of those games.

        I guess I'll have to wait for FM7 (which I'll play instead of GT7)

          Physical games can be sold or traded in later on. Also, an FYI, a lot of people got PS5 through EB pre-order for basically $100. Obviously, need to trade in PS4, PS4 Pro or XBox One S|X and games to cover the rest. The guy next to me when I was doing my trade in walked away with additional $900 of EB world credit.

          PS Plus Extra for $3 special deal (1 month) was pretty good. All those games you want to play + Horizon Forbidden West, Ghost of Tsushima (Director's Cut), Final Fantasy 7 + Intermission, + a lot more.

          It's Forza Motorsport 8. I get this deal is quite good, but those Sony games on PC, seem like you missed out buying them when they were discounted. It's fine as they will be discounted again later.

    Over $100 shipping to Far North Queensland kinda kills the deal for me

      $136 to upper Sydney. Kills it for me.

        $40 for Sydney metro

  • Slvasta on 25/05/2023 - 07:16

    Hi luke. Im still seeing $999 on website instead of $799 here. Is that $200 shipping ?? Or website is incorrect and needs to be updated

    • Robbo014 on 25/05/2023 - 07:44

      Did you input the discount code?

  • megadeth on 25/05/2023 - 07:42

    Think price comes down during checkout when you use the coupon.

    Would I be able to fit a DVD RW drive into this machine?

    • TheFrunj on 25/05/2023 - 10:25

      No, neither of the two cases support a 5.25" drive. You can always purchase an external USB drive, they're normally laptop drives so are quite slim and easy to keep in a drawer when not using.

      • sunday9987 on 25/05/2023 - 12:45

        Cool, thanks for letting me know!

  • gilbert151 on 25/05/2023 - 08:15

    Any good cheap PCs that are less "gamer-y" for my Dad? Desktop warrior

    • ryantsang713 on 25/05/2023 - 09:04

      Preuse DELL, HP or Lenovo?

      Plenty of refurbed office PC deals here, typically coming in between $200-$400 as well. What's your Dad's use case/s? Don't need anything fancy if just web-browsing.
