PREWINTER

Full desktop computer system with a Ryzen 5 1600 CPU, and a GTX 1080 for $1400? Is that possible in the current market? Yes it is.

Similar to this previously expired deal: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/360436

Unfortunately the GTX 1080ti version had it's price increased, but the GTX 1080 version is still the same price.
Easily good enough for most AAA title games.

Add in a cheap SSD and you're good to go.
RAM is upgradeable from 8GB to 16GB for an extra $111.20 as well - https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/161813007301

    Holy, it's tempting to just buy one and sell the parts. That's an awesome deal.

  • petry on 08/03/2018 - 16:19

    whats the warranty? 12 months?

    • Kiato on 08/03/2018 - 16:26

      pc byte is probably 12 months but the individual parts will range from 12 to 36 months.

    • [Deactivated] on 08/03/2018 - 19:56

      Consumer law: 2-4 years
      PcByte: 2 Years/None?

      Basically you're relying on manufacturer warranty then consumer law, not sure PC Byte will cover anything volunteeringly.

      PC systems: PC systems are covered by a two-year warranty period. If your PC becomes faulty during this time, you may return it to us for repair. Please note that each component of your PC system falls under different warranty conditions, depending on the manufacturer. We will only replace components free of charge if they are eligible for warranty from the manufacturer.

        We will cover any individual parts that are still under warranty after the 2 Year Return to Base warranty for the computer system. Different parts will have a different warranty period.

        • [Deactivated] on 09/03/2018 - 08:01

          Understood, though my point was according to your ToS you won't volunteeringly cover anything unless the manufacturer covers it.

          With your low profit margins (ie this is legitimately less than the cost of parts) I can understand this and don't have an issue with it, but just so the consumer is aware!

      I bought parts separately over time with a mix of second-hand memory and getting my Ryzen 5 1600 from Amazon US. And getting my RX 580 8GB from gumtree (came with receipt). It's possible to get it much cheaper if you just set some alerts on Gumtree and watch Overclockers forum for some potential parts for sale too.

      I bought the parts from Dec 2017 - Feb 2018 this year.

      I got:

      Gigabyte Gaming 3 B350 mobo: $80 from Gumtree
      16GB of Corsair 3000mhz memory: $190 OCAU Shop and Swap forum
      Gigabyte RX 580 8GB: $300 Gumtree
      Ryzen 5 1600: $220 AUD shipped from Amazon USA

      I already had a decent case and a few drives included 2 SSD just repurposed them.

      All in all, I got a beast of a system for quite cheap - total upgrade cost was $790 plus time looking and waiting.

      Also I had a $90 voucher for Amazon so it was $700 total - very pleased with the results.

          4k is handled by the graphics memory. Only 5 years ago the max you could get was 32GB and they were server machines running VMware.

          @freemoneyhunter: Yes, I know that. The GTX 1060 can handle 4k just for chrome tabs.
          I mentioned the 4k resolution is about fitting more small chrome windows on the screen.

      • hungrypopcorn on 09/03/2018 - 09:57

        Adobe software are power hungry. I use photoshop, premiere pro and after effects simultaneously. Rendering is just a pain in the ass once you get to a certain point. I only have 16GB RAM atm and the time i spend waiting for it to render is double the time i spend editing it. Lol.

    • [Deactivated] on 09/03/2018 - 08:05

      Personally wouldn't recommend bothering with a high end Ryzen 7 - the 1700 does its job well. It'd possibly bottleneck a 1080/1080ti, but you mention only wanting a 1060 so shouldn't be a problem anyway.

      At this stage if you want 64GB of RAM best bet is selling your car. No but really, wait a few months for memory prices to drop again (hopefully). Currently that amount of memory would be literally $1,000+. Once prices hopefully settle should be closer to $600-700.

      • hungrypopcorn on 09/03/2018 - 10:02

        Yes, you are right. the threadripper is an overkill for thework I am doing right now, but what I had in mind is to future proof my machine for atleast the next 5 or so years. Thanks for the tip . DO you know around which time of the year it goes this low?

        • [Deactivated] on 09/03/2018 - 11:00

          RAM has been quite high in price for around 12-18 months, I can't predict exactly when it'll come back down but it should at some point as supplies increase and demand decreases.

          Note there was a massive demand increase from Ryzen release and newer Intel CPUs, this demand is slowly dying down (as the hype around Ryzen/etc slowly decreases) but it still may be some time. There's been various indicators of supply increasing, though there's also speculation of price fixing amongst suppliers so unsure if this will help.

          Edit: I think the AMD data centre CPUs are slowly becoming available, RAM may actually increase in price further from this…

          Threadripper is great, but isn't really required anymore. The current 8 core line ups are already double what the older series 8 cores could do - doubling this again (ie 16 core threadripper) is simply overkill.

    RAM is upgradeable from 8GB to 16GB for an extra $111.20 as well

    Unless you need it that's not a good option to take up atm because of RAM prices. You don't need it for games.

    • Agret on 08/03/2018 - 19:34
      +3

      Modern games definitely take advantage of more than 8GB RAM. You might find that 8GB is not enough, as modern consoles have 8GB RAM (around 6GB usable for games on the consoles) and the PC ports of console games often require more resources than on the console themselves. Then you add Windows 10 + Background services + a couple background apps then a game on top and you can easily hit a RAM bottleneck if you only have 8GB. I would say 16GB is the minimum for a gaming rig these days, games like PUBG will on occasion get up to 12GB RAM used. Hell, even my phone has 8GB ram (OnePlus 5T)

  • Kegsta on 08/03/2018 - 17:48

    I'm pretty sure Ryzen needs really fast ram (3200) to run well.

    • Doubledge on 08/03/2018 - 18:44
      +2

      To get the most out of Ryzen, yes but that's only really for higher end gpu's. Hardware Unboxed already tested this with different ram speeds on different gpu's using Ryzen. Basically, higher ram speeds won't make much of a difference if you're using something like a gtx 1070 or lower and therefore isn't necessary at all (at least for gaming).

      However, this pc has a gtx 1080 so while you won't get the best performance that you can with the lower ram speed, I wouldn't consider it a deal-breaker. That's just me though, I'd rather spend less on ram speed to improve other components (like an SSD, which this doesn't have).

  • remedycrd on 08/03/2018 - 18:26

    I'm still happily rocking a Haswell system, but from what I've gathered RAM speed is kind of a big deal with these Ryzen CPU's . This rig only has 2133, so keep that in mind.

    • Diji1 on 08/03/2018 - 18:30

      Yeah it's also an issue for Coffee Lake as well. But it's probably better to wait for RAM prices to drop and then update the CPU cooler and memory at the same time and get some of that sweet overclock.

      I wonder if PCbyte is shipping a 250w PSU with this?

    • Ryballs on 08/03/2018 - 18:40

      Yeah Ryzen Infinity Fabric performance is directly proportional to RAM speed.

    • p3rsonally on 08/03/2018 - 20:10

      Something to be said for: Built & delivered (usually an extra $70 or so), and not from MSY (who often sell dodgy components, especially when they're $100 under the market rate - e.g. GTX1080)

      There's nothing garbage about these components. It's all sweet spot / mainstream stuff, except the HDD which is lousy, but can be upgraded to a 480GB Intel for $160.

      The main benefit here is simply the eBay 20% discount.

        I have bought parts for around 30PCs from MSY and only ever had 1 problem, a CPU fan header on a motherboard not working and it was easily returned for replacement.

      • Will Mcdonald on 08/03/2018 - 23:06

        All the components are the cheapest in their class except for the graphics card. Don't know what your on about. The dead give away is the 550 watt power supply for a 1080, you can even google the answer if you don't know.

    • Gobbo14 on 08/03/2018 - 20:19

      Thanks for doing this maths! It worked out slightly cheaper for someone else:

      CPU: AMD 6-Core Ryzen 5 1600 $258
      Motherboard: B350 $85
      RAM: 2133Mhz 8GB $119
      Storage: 1TB 7200rpm 3.5 Inch Desktop HDD $59
      Video Card: Nvidia GTX 1080 8GB GDDR5X 256-Bit $849
      Power Supply: 550W High Efficiency Power Supply $55
      Optical Drive: DVD Writer Optical Drive $19
      Default Case:DeepCool Tesseract White SW $35
      Total: $1479

      Ultimately, I don't need the DVD, the HDD or the case, so the money I'd save is being waster anyway.

  • petry on 08/03/2018 - 19:35

    good to see that EVERYONE who buys one gets a full list of the parts used - their serial numbers - with apparently the applicable warranty for each part according to

    'phunkydude 2 hours 43 min ago new

    the invoice will list all the individual parts with serial no.

    same as you were to buy all individual parts without assembly'

    But shouldn't that be accompanied by associated label?

    That's a bit worrying especially since PlushToys 1 hour 48 min ago new said

    'I did not have each individual part listed'.

      We generally don't provide a Tax invoice with the item serial numbers attached unless you request for it, we will provide a regular Tax Invoice for Tax and warranty purposes.

      There is a 2 years Return to Base warranty for all of our computer systems and then after that it will depend on the warranty period of the individual part.

  • adastur on 08/03/2018 - 19:44

        The 1080 is junk for mining.

        • Phreaker on 09/03/2018 - 07:58

          I would say go intel if you are going a Ti to make use of the card as the AMD's just can't compare once you get to that level.
          But if you are only going to mine and not play 2k-4k gaming AMD should be OK.

          I would suggest looking at reviews that compare the 1600 vs the 7700k with a 1080Ti is a rather significant performance difference.
          Just really don't want the H110 board.

      Before you pay you will see an area on the eBay checkout page that will ask you for coupons or vouchers, simply enter the code there to apply the 20% discount

      what make is the GPU? stock or something else?

      • Associatedhamster0069 @ PCByte on 08/03/2018 - 23:33

        It depends on how many orders we get and how many GPU's we have in stock, the brand may vary through the course of the deal if we run out of stock on a certain brand

    Anychance we can get this deal with an intel 8700kinstead? Happy to pay a little extra, just never been a fan of AMD. All in all fantastic deal though, thats the only thing stopping me pulling the trigger.

        Are there any tweaks to sweeten the deal you linked like @hamster0069 has made?

      That may be but without Ryzen, Intel would still sit on its ass and this CPU could have be 4 cores and 8 threads if Intel has its way. Thanks to AMD, Intel has to add more cores at a lower price. So its a win-win for consumer regardless of your fanboysim.

    Currently researching doing a Ryzen 1700 build on the x370 motherboard and was about to pull the trigger on the components, however I just read that the newer platform x470 will be release next month and it will have more PCIE lanes (more m.2 slot using PCEI Gen 3 x 4), higher DDR4 speeds support (4000MHz) and better overclocking of the CPU. So IMHO I would wait for a few more weeks to see how the new platform playout before building a Ryzen computer.

    Hi, I recently purchased this computer with an upgrade to 240gb SSD and 16GB ram. I just plugged it in and tried turning it on for the first time but the monitor is not getting any signal from HDMI or VGA inputs. Is there meant to be another step before we are able to install the operating system?

    • Durian321 on 19/03/2018 - 22:02

      Just realised that I had plugged the HDMI cable into the motherboard port. When I plugged it into the graphics card port it worked fine. My mistake!

    After using the computer i was curious to check if they upgraded the ram to 2400 Mhz but I can only see 2133 Mhz…..
