    PC Case Gear:

    CPU - $479
    Cheapest 6GB GTX 1060 - $379

    So that's 858 already.

    You now have $181 remaining to find a motherboard, power supply, ram, ssd / hd and win10 license.

    So pretty good value.

    • jasswolf on 24/09/2018 - 15:06

      While the system is great value, no one in their right mind is paying $480 for an i7-8700.

      Intel have a global shortage on 8th gen, so prices have spiked pretty badly, but there's still small opportunities to get the 8700k for under $500 (though it really should be priced around $420-$440 with better supply) and the 8700 for about $440 when there's good sales on.

      But there's not much of an argument to be made in favour of paying that much versus buying AMD, especially moving forward.

        Yea it'd be nice if someone who bought it can report back.

        Although it is possible that as Medion is more like a system builder (?), they might use parts from different brands.

        Although at least in Australia the warranty protection is kind of okay. I wonder if individual parts can be argued to have more than 1 year warranty, e.g. the graphics card (as most manufacturers provide 3 years warranty).

  • Carrian on 24/09/2018 - 14:31

    Hi need help. Will this fit/be a good fit for my GTX 1080 Gaming X 8GB Card???

      • lachhelix on 24/09/2018 - 14:40
        +9

        I don't think I'd call this a budget computer, and not sure what SSD size has to do with a 1080 over a 1060, but the air flow would most definitely suck!
        Easy way to grab this though & upgrade what you need to and you'd probably still be ahead in cost

        • dealhunt on 24/09/2018 - 14:43
          -4

          You're going to use the most expensive and high performance GPU on the market with a cost stretched computer, you can disagree with what I say but I must let who asked the question know.

      • HighAndDry on 24/09/2018 - 14:54
        +11

        I actually second this. The PSU according to the specs is:

        Accessory 4: 350 W to 450 W Powersupply add on cost

        And I personally wouldn't be comfortable running a GTX1080 on even a good 450W PSU, much less a potentially generic one like the one here.

        The rest of the components are solid though, and won't really bottleneck the 1080 for gaming. It's not really a budget computer, more mid-level gaming (specs-wise, not price-wise).

        • lachhelix on 24/09/2018 - 14:55

          Absolutely, with a decent case and PSU and you'd be rocking it with a 1080!

        • HighAndDry on 24/09/2018 - 14:58
          +5

          @lachlanww: Yeah. Though…. if the commenter needed to ask if this was a good fit for their GTX1080, I'm going to estimate their PC DIY skills as being beginner level. A new case and PSU would basically be a complete build, and I've no idea how feasible or easy that would be from this PC (and I'd worry that a lot of the parts/connectors/internal structure would be custom and not great for DIY).

        • lachhelix on 24/09/2018 - 15:00
          +1

          @HighAndDry: That's true.
          Would be interesting to find out when everybody receives their orders.
          The last Medion PC I bought was from Aldi a good 10 years ago and sounded like a jet taking off when you'd turn it on - it was all just standard (I assume OEM) equipment so swapped out to a new case and was good as gold

        • dealhunt on 24/09/2018 - 15:00

          @lachlanww: Someone serious about gaming who owns a 1080 should look elsewhere, you'll also be left with a case and PSU you won't need while you paid them.

        • HighAndDry on 24/09/2018 - 15:01

          @lachlanww: Ah sweet. Also yeah I was wondering about that as well, I thought Medion was an Aldi in-house brand. Thought I must've been misremembering if Binglee are selling it but… apparently not.

        • O15 on 24/09/2018 - 15:01

          A good quality 450w would be fine for a 1080 (as long as you weren't also trying to run half a dozen hard drives).

          In saying that, I wouldn't trust whatever PSU is in this PC with a 1080. Everything else would be fine, except probably the case, it looks pretty ass. Guy saying you'd need to upgrade the motherboard is loopy.

        • lachhelix on 24/09/2018 - 15:02

          @HighAndDry: I was confused for a bit too! They must be branching out!!

        • HighAndDry on 24/09/2018 - 15:09
          +1

          @O15: While it'd probably be okay in 99% of situations…

          Guru3D recommends 600W min for a GTX1080 and I'd personally agree. nVidia official recommends 500W system power. Plus, I wouldn't want to risk a 1080.

          Yeah, only the PSU (and the case - though eh - it'd be okay if you didn't mind it sounding like a jet engine) concerns me.

        • Bigboomboom on 24/09/2018 - 15:16
          +1

          @HighAndDry: 450W is more than fine. I'm pulling 350W-ish with OC GTX 1080 and OC i7-6700K (OCed it to 4.9Ghz once for giggles but unfortunately couldn't go any higher, running 1.45V). This with 5 X 140mm fans and 2 X 120mm fans, two HDD and 3 SSD.

          However I agree, wouldn't touch any OEM 450W.

        • HighAndDry on 24/09/2018 - 15:26

          @Bigboomboom:

          Whoa - that's a nice OC. And yeah - true, I'm definitely simplifying it a little for less savvy folks (I assume people who know about this stuff won't need that kinda advice anyway - certainly not if you're pulling near 5GHz OCs. Sheesh.)

          Just for others following this convo - you really don't want to be pulling anywhere near a PSU's max rated power. As a rough (conservative - because again, with PSUs you want to be safe) guide, you'd want to max out at around 80% on good PSUs, and probably not more than 60-70% regularly on unknown/generics.

        • Carrian on 24/09/2018 - 16:13

          would I have been able to pull out the parts and inserted them into a new case with a 600 watt PSU?

        • Bigboomboom on 24/09/2018 - 16:20

          @Carrian: Yes absolutely. The thing about PSU is make sure you buy a decent one. It's 2018 and we have less crappy ones nowadays but still a number of crap Chinese PSU with fake advertised wattage. Just go lookup a PSU review before you buy.

        • Carrian on 24/09/2018 - 16:24

          @Bigboomboom: thanks fam. unfortunately the deal is over so I missed out. maybe next time!

        • furythree on 24/09/2018 - 17:01

          ppl forgetting the cost of a decent cooler and fans. easily another $150 or so
          decent PSU - $150-$200 depending on model and brand
          decent case - $100+

          so looking at the hassle of harvesting parts, reselling GPU + $400+ in additional upgrade costs to make this decent

          and its probably value ram, so will look ugly with the rest of your new $1500 machine

      they serve completely different purposes.
      Medion = gaming
      HP Z3 = workstation

      HP probably has better build quality w 3 year warranty.
      No dedicated GPU, much older processor, less RAM, no SSD, more expensive etc.

      not comparable

      • drumrollplease on 24/09/2018 - 14:36

        Ah, I thought a good gaming computer would be able to process fairly intensive design software like AutoCAD guess not? I like the portability of the Z3 though, I guess Medion is better for upgradability reasons?

          The Medion would do much better than the HP for CPU/GPU intensive tasks, like AutoCAD

        The stock intel cooler is decent enough seeing as there wont be any overclocking. But yes I agree regarding fans. If the case only comes with 1 rear exhaust fan then would definitely wont to add acouple more intake fans if the case supports it.

          I'm using a Rift (3 sensors), and out of the 100 or so games I've tried (I'm collecting too many Indiegala bundles!), SuperHot VR is probably the standout. Love that game to bits. So much fun.

          Other than that, The Mage's Tale is good so far for a bit of RPG fun. I got given Fallout 4 VR but haven't tried that yet. Haven't actually finished Fallout 3 :)

          The Broken Seal is good too. Casting spells using your voice is awesome. They just need to build the game out more.

          Agreed, but in 5 years, the 1060 equivalent will probably be much faster than a 1060, and about as heat/power efficient. Assuming the components don't wear out, it could be a very cheap and easy upgrade to get more life out of the system.

      Depends on what you're using it for?

      1. For web browsing/phub and just basic applications, yes, 10 years you're good.

      2. For gaming it is very decent and should get you to 5 years comfortably. The GPU may need an update in year 4 though.

    This is one of the best PC deals I've ever seen on OzBargain! Congratulations to OP and to those who jump on this. Very good value for a very good system.

    cheers! I bought wasn't really in the market because I'm pretty happy with the PS4 but for the price I can justify

      Those specs on eBay is incorrect. Go down to actual specs (not Product Description) and you'll see same specs as here.

    On the surface looks like a cracker of a bargain, and I jumped. Thanks Op. GREAT post.

    Looks like #1 Son gets my old system and I get a new one. win/win.
    Now to have that conversation with the missus……..

      If the missus wants a divorce tell her she can keep the house and you are keeping the new pc. Win/win/win!

  • kulprit on 24/09/2018 - 15:06

    No brands for any parts though? MB or GPU?

    I can 100% confirm that you can use 10 gift cards in this transaction
    Worked out pretty well

    Can post confirmation on a hosting website if anyone needs it

    • loadingpast on 24/09/2018 - 15:09

      Can you stack multiple gift cards?

      • playmaker on 24/09/2018 - 15:10

        Stacked 11 no problem

    • OfTheOverflow on 24/09/2018 - 15:23

      So what did it come down to for you, effectively?

      • djkelly69 on 24/09/2018 - 15:40

        $939.20 for me - 10 $100 ebay giftcards (which cost $900), one 20% off coupon (-$259.80) and $39.20 on paypal.

    Got it from their site:

    Before I start please note I knew nothing about gaming rigs until 2 weeks ago so please treat this review with that in mind. According to Wiki Medion is a German company owned by Lenovo. Has ECS Motherboard Z370H4-EM – ECS boards have average ratings being described as a budget gaming board. I believe the motherboard will not permit overclocking of CPU (according to www.computerbase.de when they reviewed X67020/X67015 models - best review I could find on any of the X670** models like this one noting it has 1070). That said I don’t think it is needed because a bottlenecking website estimated the CPU can process 23% faster than the 1060 6b - 2% with a 1080ti :) UserBenchMark program: Game 73%, Desk 98%, Work 82% CPU: Intel Core i7-8700 – 103.1% GPU: Nvidia GTX 1060-6GB – 69.5% SSD: Intel 600p Series NVMe PCIe M.2 256GB – 115.3% HDD: Toshiba DT01ACA100 1TB – 67.1% RAM: Kingston 9905678-012.A00G 2x8GB – 76.4% MBD: Medion MD34084/C637 – brand of components & performance seem ok? Using MSI afterburner I overclocked GPU (from 1911 MHz) by 160 MHz and got 74% (above ave). I havent done much testing but +200mhz seemed stable – min FPS stock to +200Mhz was always about 35. Heaven Benchmark score 1911 MHz averaged 3130 & +161 MHz was 3250. GPU slot PCI Express 3.0 (says GPU-Z). 450w power source. The German review raised concern about cooling system & potential negative impact on longevity of system e.g. no case fans…2 yr warranty. One issue I had was setting up microphone (no issues with audio). I was getting system output into microphone using jacks (never worked this out). Could have been issue with headset so tried it with HyperX external sound card (usb) on work pc & no probs. Then tried this at home but microphone would not work at all. Unplugging, replugging, ticking & unticking, uninstall & reinstall drivers etc & eventually got it to work (not sure why) - max audio down but still at a comfortable level so Im ok with it. There seem to be a lot of ppl with similar probs with different systems & headsets & finger is pointed at Windows. So overall I am happy with buy. Seems like good value. For 1080p (my monitor) it should be more than adequate for the amateur gamer (me). I have a 60hz monitor but I reckon it got the juice to almost make the most out of a 1440p/144hz if u want to spend the extra $. If I get serious with gaming (& VR) I think all I will need to do is upgrade GPU (& power supply & cooling systems) provided it has the legs.""
