    Is it possible just change the graphic card like to 6700xt?

    • cheapdoodau on 18/08/2023 - 15:45
      +1

      +1 but looks to be a very small case, would need to find a smol 6700xt. Case length is 200mm, random 6700xt I just looked at is 290mm

      edit - If anything maybe a itx 4060 could work, they seem commonly available

      5600, b550 & 4060 for a bit more monz would be a nice lil puter

      • jasswolf on 18/08/2023 - 15:57

        The 4060 would need the 5600 & B550 for PCIE 4.0 in order to perform well as it has an 8x bus. It's also not a great value card right now, but if it dropped below $350 AUD, that would be something.

    • umjamlam on 18/08/2023 - 15:46

      I highly doubt the RX 6700 XT will fit in this case.

      It is super tiny and only take single fan cards, the only one of which we have access to is the 3060.

      Would get better gaming performance from a PS5/XBX, but this is better suited for Ozbargain.

      • foxpants on 18/08/2023 - 16:40

        Wouldn't be a huge divide in it as raw power is concerned, but the PC is of course far more versatile.

        • Aureus on 18/08/2023 - 16:46
          +1

          PS5/XBX is around 2080 performance. A 2080 is a fair bit better then a 3060.

            @Aureus: It really depends on how optimised the game is to the console's hardware.

          • ONEMariachi on 18/08/2023 - 20:25
            +2

            @Aureus: 2070 not 2080. PS5/Series would see probably 5-10% at most performance on this. Whilt losing all of the versatility.

            Te benefit though, is if you already have a TV, vs having to fork out a monitor/accessories if you don't already have them.

            • Aureus on 18/08/2023 - 20:29

              @ONEMariachi: From what I have seen it is closer to a 2080.

                I'm sure you could isolate any one game any it possibly might. The architecture is very different.
                Here's a vid with a 3060 slightly edging it out.

                • Aureus on 18/08/2023 - 20:46

                  @ONEMariachi: Yeah it definitely does depend on the game, which makes it hard to compare.

                  A lot of those random comparison video Youtube channels are worthless, so I wouldn't put too much faith in those results. That is why I linked
                  Digital Foundry, who are very trustworthy. But yeah I get your point.

            @Aureus: I can't say for the 3060 in this build but the asus 3060 12g phoenix (single fan itx card) trades blows with the msi ventus 2080 in all the games my son plays.

      Looks like it's this, although they are bulk selling. Also used by alliedgaming

      They also sell it individually, but in both cases it's listed as 250mm height instead of 260mm, so maybe it's not the exact same model as techfasts'

      • corgi-runner on 18/08/2023 - 16:33

        Techfast is also Allied Gaming so no surprise they’d have the same case.

      You'll probably be able to find some in Chinese import sites. China makes a bazillion of these dirt cheap tiny itx cases because that's the preferred size of pc there due to space issues.

        I recommended techfast to a mate who wanted a cheap pre built. It had an issue with the GPU which was disheartening when you have recommended a product to someone and it fails.

        The way techfast dealt with the problem was incredible though, sending out a replacement before I had even returned the faulty GPU. Gave me a lot of faith in them as a seller.

        I have since recommended them to many people who have had zero issues with their builds. I'll be recommending this one to someone I know who is in the market too!

          … the desktop, but not by as much as you'd see in most comparisons. 3060 Mobile is not equivalent to a desktop 12GB 3060, but this is the 8GB cutdown version.

          See here before buying.

        • shabaka on 18/08/2023 - 16:03
          +1

          3060 mobile and desktop share the chip, and number of shaders, but desktop one will be able to suck much more power, and will perform better. mobile one goes to 115W and desktop to 170W

        • cheapdoodau on 18/08/2023 - 16:05
          +2

          Mobile GPUs are not the same as desktop chips given the same name sadly. It also depends how much total system power the laptop is given.

          A mobile 3060 with 80w system power will perform lower than one with 150w system power etc

          Its tough to judge laptops, and general rule of thumb is desktop would perform better

          edit: spelling

        • O15 on 18/08/2023 - 16:06

          Desktop 3060 should be a bit better than laptop 3060 but 6800H should be a bit better than 5500.

        • bio on 18/08/2023 - 16:07

          Usually laptop GPUs are inferior, but 3060 is a weird GPU. Its laptop version has more CUDA cores than the desktop variant, and gives almost the same performance.

        • Danstar on 20/08/2023 - 14:34

          Laptops sucks for gaming. Only get a laptop if you need mobility. Otherwise a desktop is far superior and cheaper for similar specs

  • iDrownFish on 18/08/2023 - 15:49

    Would it be easy to install Wifi/Bluetooth on this?
    Is it worth upgrading to b550 mobo and 5600 cpu?

    • cheapdoodau on 18/08/2023 - 15:52
      +1

      IMO yes.

      Wifi/BT depends on PCI availabilty - assuming zero on an itx board. So you'd need to just go with a decent USB stick.

      • DemocracyManifest on 18/08/2023 - 16:08

        Surprisingly you can get m2 cards that do both if you need - otherwise I got a Wi-Fi 6 compatible dongle from Ali express recently, for like $1.50 shipped lol and it works fine

        • cheapdoodau on 18/08/2023 - 16:10
          +1

          true - I was recently looking at m2 wifi cards - depends a bit on the m2 slot and motherboard capatibility too which is why it can be a complicated suggestion

    • Zondasss on 18/08/2023 - 17:02
      -5

      No. Those who answer "yes" to this are simply coming up with their own imaginative ideas. When you receive the computer, you'll realize there's no place to install a PCIe WiFi card. This is when the seller starts acting rogue.

      • Nom on 18/08/2023 - 22:14
        +1

        You can absolutely run USB Wifi and USB Bluetooth on this machine - the lack of PCIe space inside the case simply doesn't matter.

        • Zondasss on 18/08/2023 - 22:51
          -2

          This is your compromise. Most people would choose a cheap USB network card, then buy a USB Bluetooth adapter when they realize there's no Bluetooth. After that, they would complain about the poor signal from the USB network card. All the geniuses reading this post, no one realized that the thickness of the 6650xt occupies 2.5 slots, completely blocking the B550 motherboard we paid extra for. The seller didn't mention this in the description, only stating it's not compatible with graphics cards above 3070. I don't find the seller impressive, rather nauseating. The product design seems rubbish, purely for money. Of course, Ozbargain also has many of their bots.

      Nope, this is a budget build largely using parts from 2020.

  • jasswolf on 18/08/2023 - 15:54

    Definitely take the motherboard upgrade to B550 for the PCIE 4.0 16x slot, or you'll have almost no significant upgrade pathway for this build.

    Even then, you'd have to get a Vermeer-based Ryzen 5000 CPU to get PCIE 4.0 speeds, so perhaps consider the 5600 upgrade as well. That takes a lot of the shine off this deal.

    Then you've got to contend with the 8GB 3060, which is about 15% slower than the original 3060.

    • based on 18/08/2023 - 16:22

      That won't guarantee it, I bought a b550 from them and it's only pcie 3
      I didn't realise that was a thing but MSI do a few models with it, I guess it keeps the price down

      • jasswolf on 18/08/2023 - 18:23
        +1

        The Ryzen 5500 is not a Vermeer-based chip, but the B550 board named above does support 24 PCIE 4.0 lanes when something like the 5600 or 5700X is the CPU in socket.
