  Good deal as usual.
  Just a word of warning to anyone buying these-
  If you want to run these rigs without bottlenecks, I would strongly recommend buying a set of 16gb RAM sticks (ideally 3000mhz +) as 8gb @2400mhz won't cut it these days IMO.

  I don't mean to rain on your parade Luke.

    Was going to say the same. 8gb just isn't enough anymore. That said add another 8gb and happy days for the price

      On the lower end rigs I'd say by all means just get another 2400 stick, but for a high end rig like this 2400mhz isn't doing it justice.

      At the end of the day it really depends what you're doing with the rig too.

    Nope, adding 8GB to 8GB will do almost nothing when considering gaming alone and spending $250 on almost nothing is just silly.

    $250 on top of the 1070 price will almost get you to a 2080 which is where the bottleneck is unless you mean high FPS 1920x1080 (where adding more RAM will still do almost nothing but the CPU becomes the bottleneck).

      8gb compared to 16gb will do almost nothing you say? Strange I had 8 gb and got stutters in most games like bf v, far cry 5 and tomb raider. Once i changed to 16gb my games NO LONGER stuttered or had massive fps drops when gaming. 8 gb to 16gb is a massive improvement therefore in my eyes. Do note tho I swapped out the 2400 mhz to 3000 mhz so brand new set of ram.

        that's a cool story, but how long is your piece of unladen sparrow string?

        Run your rigs and figure out if you have bottlenecks during your normal usage - then assess upgrade options.
        There are many resources/people online who are happy to help.

          @Radar: It was obviously the ram since that's the only thing I swapped out.

            @firsttimeuser7: You ran your rig and figured out your ram was the bottleneck. Yet apparently upgrading your ram was a waste of money. Makes sense doesn't it :/

            @fiend: OK will clarify. nothing wrong with fisttimeuser's conclusion that more RAM fixed his problem - great result.
            What is wrong is the blanket sentiment that 8GB is a bottleneck and doubling will provide value. We all have different gear, settings, usage patterns… YMMV

    Did you have a single stick of 8GB RAM?

    • 

      firsttimeuser7 on 25/02/2019 - 21:02

      Yes mine came with A single stick of 8 gb ram.

  • 

    N1NJ4W4RR10R on 25/02/2019 - 18:53

    Doesn't Intel typically work fine with 2400 RAM?

    But yeah, definitely pick up an extra 8gb stick.

  Is there a list of potential motherboards for the i5?

• 

  [Deactivated] on 25/02/2019 - 13:22

  Is it worth it $300 extra for i7 and 200w psu.

  I bought the Ryzen 2600 one with the bundled monitor. Could I change to this instead?

    Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 25/02/2019 - 13:38

    You'd need to cancel and reorder. PM me if you want to do that.

  Do these have good components or are we better just building from MSY?

• 

  Andstar on 25/02/2019 - 14:25

  MSY prebuilds will not be better, that ram they use has to be one of the worst! Not sure what techfast use for RAM…

  • 

    Serpeant on 25/02/2019 - 14:32

    what about msy custom builds?

  Good builds at a great price, well done Techfast.

  Techfast should consider upping the RAM (quantity and quality) and Parts quality on a limited run of "Special edition" builds to allow those willing to spend a bit more to have more options.

    Good call, we will certainly have that functionality on our website (currently being upgraded).

      You could even have a submit a build of the month program through your social media.

      Winner gets a discount voucher and you do a run of that build for the month, rinse and repeat :-).

  looking at upgrading a new pc, currently running a 970 with a 4th gen i5. Is it worth getting a 1070 or 2070?
  benchmarks saying RTX 2070 is the way to go, especially when its potential?
