    Honestly this is alright, the whole build is probably almost the price of RTX 4080 already. If this is new of course. But idk, I hope im not missing the catch here, please correct me if I’m wrong.

      RTX 4080 sometimes you can get it for around 1600. So the rest costs you around 600

    Damn that's good. That 4080 is about 1700 on its own.. though new intel CPU is only a couple of months away.. and the 7800xt may disrupt a bit

          I've bought one PC from them before, a very cheap Ryzen 5 system with a Biostar (not cheap, just not a retail brand) board and video card and low tier PSU but 5 years later it still gets used daily and has stood the test of time.

          Honestly, I'd have no problems buying another from them. Possibly the only option to get a decent deal on a new video card in a build these days is to buy a system like this.

        • mycosys on 28/07/2023 - 00:29

          Its not 'dodgy' but they are, as this tier list refers to the motherboard, 'entry level tier' - but you also aren't paying 'enthusiast tier' prices

          I've bought a couple. Hated the motherboards a520m (allied) bios was impossible to do anything with, but the one in this should be fine. Otherwise all the other parts were good for the price. The fans were basic molex power ones and were noisy again probably because the cheap motherboard would adjust pwm fans.

    • buffalo bill on 27/07/2023 - 21:38

      Mainly because you can't buy the 4080 for the price they can. The other parts to a certain degree as well.

      a real cheap motherboard, pretty cheap ram and case aswell would help keep cost down but its still a good value build besides that cause of the 4080

    Will the CPU be a bottleneck for future graphics uogrades?

    • cheapdoodau on 27/07/2023 - 20:24

      Short answer is no

      Longish answer is maybe - it depends on your use case, game requirements, screen resolution, time frame? what does future mean? 5 years? 10 years?

    • Matte101 on 27/07/2023 - 20:24

      If you're at 4k it should be fine, 1080p will bottleneck alot of games tho

    • Noodles93 on 27/07/2023 - 20:26
      +2

      It's already not going to max out a 4090 (and probably won't max this 4080) but overall depends what res you play at. 1080p definitely.

      1440p you will leave performance on the table. And 4k less so.

      Here's a 1440p comparison (with a 4090). Use the 5600x/5800x as a proxy: https://www.techspot.com/photos/article/2602-amd-ryzen-7600-…

    • John Doh on 27/07/2023 - 21:11

      Definitely YES. I have a 5600 sometimes bottlenecking a 3080Ti at 4K with DLSS quality enabled. 4080 is on a whole new level even without DLSS. You should be looking at a 5800X3D or 7000 series CPUs.

      • freefall101 on 28/07/2023 - 00:54

        What are you playing that a 3080ti is bottlenecked at 4K by the CPU, minesweeper?

        • John Doh on 28/07/2023 - 03:41

          No, not unless you enable DLSS which runs games in lower res.

    • ATangk on 27/07/2023 - 21:22

      You wont be upgrading your graphics anytime soon unless you want to keep pushing greater resolution. But 4K is a good limit already, I don't think 8K is very useful for gaming purposes.

    • GachaGamer on 27/07/2023 - 21:37
      +1

      To clarify, for the CPU to bottleneck the GPU, it means that the GPU has spare headroom. That is to say, the CPU cannot keep up with the processing that the GPU is doing, and so the GPU is forced to wait as the CPU sends it work slower than it can solve them. What this means is that you will generally only experience said bottlenecking in situations where the GPU is stronger than the CPU, and you put your game's settings to a situation where your CPU cannot properly handle it. So in general, the logic of lower resolution = CPU will bottleneck is normally incorrect, since your CPU will not bottleneck your GPU unless it can't keep up with the GPU's processing speed - which is unlikely to be the case at lower resolutions (unless your CPU is complete poop).

      Of course, in practice, games are not all created equal, and there are differences in design (some are more CPU dependent, others GPU dependent). So to figure out the correct answer to your question you'd need to know: what games are you playing, and at what resolution/settings?

    It is kind of balance if playing on 4k, but not ideal if playing on 2k, 4080 can't be fully used in most games because of releatively weak cpu.

    Good deal. Basically paying $1.6k for the GPU and $600 for everything else. Would have been tempted if i didnt just complete my build

    On top of the offer you need to add OS and CPU cooling system.
    But if I'm going to build a 4080 new system (my 3070 is still going strong), I prefer to choose the parts like a better case with the right fans, a better PSU, a full ATX mobo, 32GB and better quality RAM, AMD or Intel CPU (the last time that I tried AMD was back in 2003 LOL), CPU cooling, A better brand and performing GPU, a better SSD etc. etc.

        • Matte101 on 27/07/2023 - 23:34

          Well it's good value but the 16gb will bottleneck some games at 4k, and you'll probably need to buy a new CPU fan. The motherboard is a low quality one, and only supports am4 and ddr4 so you won't be able to upgrade to ddr5 ram or 7000 series amd CPUs without upgrading it, but you should be fine for a while. Overall I'd recommend going for it, to build it yourself would cost atleast an extra $200.

  • Matte101 on 27/07/2023 - 21:22

      By memory the 5700X doesn't ship with one, but they would have to use one - so either a standard fan type job or maybe an AMD wraith stealth.

    • CalmLemons on 27/07/2023 - 23:37

      comes with stock amd cooler. you have the option to upgrade to a 120 or 240mm aio liquid cooler.

  • shaidas on 27/07/2023 - 21:32

    Thats a pretty good price in the current env.. except maybe for the RAM and warranty ..the only reason to get someone else to build is the warranty IMHO .. For reference I just got a RTX 4090 with a 5800x3d, 64 gb DDR4, 2 Tb M.2 gen 4 , a B 550 mobo for 4900 which includes build costs and 2 years RTB ..parts of course come with their own warranty but messing up chip headers when placing on the bay or static is not a good experience while building..not to mention the fan wires are a right pain to route if you cheap out on the case

    • Look Up on 28/07/2023 - 15:07

      No, the Nebula deal is better balanced

      This build is a weak body built around a bottom tier 4080

      5800X3D is the end upgrade for this build but the Prime B550M-K is a trash tier mobo with weak VRM and no cooling that will overheat and throttle

      As a collection of parts though, TechFast have negotiated well - based on current part prices and the 4080 price needed from PNY to make this deal work, they are making a very small margin

          Poor value, you can walk into a shop today and buy a 4070 for ~$900 or 4080 for ~$1700

          The upgrade is worth no more than $800 and when you consider Nebula's access to volume discounts, would expect the upgrade to be closer to $700

            +1

            @Look Up: Agreed, I have the Dell 4k 144hz monitor from the popular deal a while back, and it tempted me to get the Nebula deal. However, I felt the 4080 upgrade was a little expensive. I liked the components more since the usual upgrades you have to make, be it the PSU or the ram were already quite serviceable imo. Not to mention the AM5 path that it utilised, having a little more futureproofing. Currently have a 5600 and a 6800XT and am hoping for more 7900xtx drops and to snag a 58003d since I'll be at 4K and the CPU shouldn't hurt much.

      • ab c on 01/08/2023 - 00:13

        Any gaming-Guru with good foresight ?

        Do you think those who have jumped onto AM5, jumped too soon ?

        R5 5600X3D ~$AUD 350: if those reviews are true, then may be we'll see it here in a few months…pairing 4080 ?

        Not sure if AM5 is a 'bang for buck' path: ~ extra $400 PLATFORM-costs for AM5 mobo, DDR5, liquid-cooling.

          Detailed comparisons not done by Techpowerup & Techspot.

          An outlier review is below. In time, real-world performance & benchmark may give us a better indication of the hype.

          DDR 5 kits of quality 6000 ram has come down ridiculously, sales prices for AM5 boards have been pretty good all things considering and liquid is the same as always. I am glad I jumped on early with a cheap build path using a 7600 non x and will upgrade it all again near the end of the cycle (4ish years). Also the Starfield free promo sealed it for me.

          Good value for me, maybe not for you.

      Tech fast is the cheapest way to get a 4080. Nebula is getting premium components all around and a weaker GPU. Depends if you are deep value gamer who won't upgrade and just wants max frames per dollar vs one who wants to tweak and change components in which the Nebula will give you more ability in future.

    @luketechfast Any chance the 4070 deals are coming back?

    Any chance of a CPU upgrade option @luketechfast? This CPU is copping a lot of flak

    @luketechfast Awesome deal, really aggressive pricing. Can you please do a deal config with R7 7700X + AM5 MB + 32 GB (DDR5 6000) + RTX 4080 please!!!!! That would be my dream build.
