            @CascadeHush: Good share. I checked and the first 4K YouTube video was 2015, I think this system can handle it. Strangely though, the RTX 4060 is not even 2x faster than the fastest GPU from 2015. A GTX Titan X (12GB) vs RTX 4060 (8GB).

        The 12400F performs better in single core but the 5500 and 5600 are comparable across mutlithreads with the 5600 slightly better. The case and aesthetics (personal choice) are better on this one hence the price increase.

        • srven3 on 30/04/2025 - 18:24

          I looked at 12100F, you're right should have compared 12400F.
          Agree with your point and AM4 i think is better than Intel 12th gen as you have ability to upgrade to 5700X3D, a much better chip down the line if you want (provided still available)

    • Masticccc on 30/04/2025 - 17:57

      If you decide to stick with the PC until it ends of life, that one is better p/p. Also the ITX form is ideal if you want small footprint case on table, or bring it when traveling.

      However in general this deal PC is better for normal consumer. When you plan to use a PC for years, a 100$ upgrade shouldn't be an issue. With that you get a better case aesthetically and functionality, the ability to swap bigger components (mainly mobo + GPU), and AM4 has better upgrades compare to 12th gen Intel IMO.

      TL/DR: Get ITX PC if you know exactly what you need and don't bother for any upgrade. This PC deal is more normal and easier to upgrade in the long run.

      • ab c on 02/05/2025 - 10:48

        the ability to swap bigger components (mainly mobo + GPU), and AM4 has better upgrades compare to 12th gen Intel IMO

        Careful…they're ALL low-tier parts, except the Ryzen 5. The system is @ its limit & likely NOT able to handle pro-long HEAVY-loading with HIGH room temp. in summer months, eg 30°C during summer. Observe their temp. using HWiNFO-s/w & temp. sensor gun..eg MOBO.

        For those who've pushed their system(s), all of a sudden, your system die & for the NOVICE, it's a herculean-effort identifying the component responsible.

        Btw, many of readers' understandings is tainted by paid & bias reviews. Real-world experience fall short of that…lower your expectations. Look for the negative experience shared @ forums & you'll have a MORE-balanced understandings.

    • srven3 on 30/04/2025 - 15:30

      keep in mind you'll also need a wifi 6 router dedicated to Quest 3s
      play in same room as router connected to PC and you'll have wifi connection with relatively low latency

      4060, 8gb won't be amazing for VR games on PC however will work. Not for graphically heavy games as VR adds significantly more requirements than just the games themselves.

          That's a tough question, I'm running 5700X3D and 3080 10gb, no issues so far (I used Quest 3). Will likely upgrade graphics in next 1-2 years when something decent $ / performance is available. Graphics I'd go 16gb vram card.

    Chiming in, bought 2 computer from Techfast one 3070 deal and 5080 deal this year. Both absolutely great values and had no issue with build quality.

    As long as you are okay with their lead time and just care about well specced PC, they are great! (they have always been within their delivery estimate or very close for me, but there are cases here in the comments showing they don’t always hit that during their popular deals.)

    Not shilling or anything, genuinely happy full price paying customer. (zero affiliation with them or their people.) Just happy they are able to provide such good service and PC at very reasonable prices.

    • Masticccc on 30/04/2025 - 15:38
      +10

      I think the main issue with Techfast is that if everything run smoothly they are good; but when issues spike, their communication and customer service is delayed and questionable from many buyers' reviews.

      • Larsson on 30/04/2025 - 16:59

        I expect that going in and tbf I’d expect that from any company that delivers a assembled computer cheaper than its components without delivery fees.

        As long as they deliver a working well assembled product, I am happy. When you have issues, I am happy to wait reasonable amount of time, again price of the absolute bargains we get from Techfast.

        • Masticccc on 30/04/2025 - 17:43
          +3

          "As long as they deliver a working well assembled product"
          If it's delivered as expected. I'm in a hobby that waiting a product for months or even a year is a norm so patience is not my issue, same with many ppl. But Techfast has a history of over-promised the ETA then bring up excuses after that. If you can't commit to what you say, make a generous ETA instead.

          • Larsson on 30/04/2025 - 20:56

            @Masticccc: Yeap, not trying to defend them or anything. As someone who were closely following all the conditions around Nvidia launch and someone who builds pc and tinkers around all the time I just knew going in there was a good chance their timeline was very aggressive. So i expected it was pleasantly surprised for an almost on time delivery, but I guess people may not.

            So absolutely right criticism. I guess I am saying despite that, I’d still recommend.

      negligible but yes the 12400f is slightly better than the 5500 in single threaded application. In the end you are going to be hampered by the 4060. Also this comes with a larger nvme

    I am looking at buying this for light gaming but mostly to make music using Ableton. Mainly because my current system won't run win 11 and win 10 support will end in 5 months.

    Anyone know how noisy this would be? I built my current system 12 (yes, 12!) years ago and the fan noise bugs me when I'm trying to record using the mic. I guess due to the age of my system it would really be struggling to run Ableton 11 hence the noisy fan.

    I was thinking to upgrade to 32GB ram. I assume that would be better for Ableton, or would the system bottleneck elsewhere first?

    The PSU I'm using is a pretty good one, but I don't know if PSU tech has changed since 2012 and if it would be fully compatible with new systems. It's specs are here

    The 500W PSU that comes with this deal seems a bit low powered doesn't it? Given the price of this system I doubt it would be as good quality as the corsair either. I was thinking perhaps I should swap out the 500W with my 850W.

    I know very little about the latest PC parts, but based on comments here, this seller seems pretty good.

    Thoughts/advice much appreciated.

    • noodlez543 on 30/04/2025 - 21:17

      If your system happens to say something along the lines of "System doesn’t meet Windows 11 minimum requirements", it could be fixed by changing some settings in the bios. I had the same issue with my PC which was more than capable of running win11. I don't remember what the exact process was, but if you have the same problem, you can easily find a solution online.

      • Pusdi on 30/04/2025 - 21:29

        Cheers. Google says this :

        To ensure your system meets the BIOS settings required for Windows 11, you need to enable TPM 2.0, Secure Boot, and UEFI mode. Additionally, make sure your BIOS is up-to-date and CSM is disabled, if it's an option.

        How old is your system though? Mine is 12 years old!

        • noodlez543 on 30/04/2025 - 21:47
          +1

          That sounds about right - I think I followed those same steps.

          I built my system about 6 years ago for around $600, so it's half the age of yours haha. With your PC being quite old, this Techfast one sounds like a worthy upgrade for you.

    • CrispyChrispy on 30/04/2025 - 21:35
      +1

      Noisy fan might be because you're PC/fans are full of dust and are having to go harder than they should be (or just because they're old, or both)

      CPU is more important than RAM for DAWs. Though check task manager, if you're maxing out your RAM capacity when using Ableton then yeah you'll need more RAM.

      And no, 500W is perfectly fine for this build. 4060 is not a power hungry card and neither is the Ryzen chip. How old's your 850W? Is it past the MBTF 100,000 hour mark (going off your linked Corsair page)?

      • Pusdi on 30/04/2025 - 21:52
        +1

        I'm actually not too bad at keeping the fans and dust clear with compressed air.

        Currently only have 8GB RAM but I think CPU maxes out more often. I'm not on it to check ATM.

        I became a parent around the time of my system build, so it hasn't seen that much use, including the PSU. Still, if 500W won't be underpowered or noisy I will stick with it. Cheers

    • captbollocks on 01/05/2025 - 22:06
      +1

      Thanks man. Didn't think to check the power consumption as the power calculator said that the 500w would be pretty much at capacity and wouldn't support any additional components.

      Initially yes

      You should update the Nvidia graphics driver after installing windows (noting they had issues recently however the most recent seems to have resolved most of them)
