PSYCHED

TechFast at it again with a decent build, this time with a GTX 1660Ti.

For those that are wondering about performance (as all gamers do) - the 1660Ti is just a little bit under the GTX 1070 in terms of performance, and about 30% better than the RX 580 in comparison to the RX 580 systems that TechFast has posted in the past.

Seems like this time they're doing the system itself without the monitor as well for $737.10 here: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Ryzen-5-2600-GTX-1660-Ti-6GB-120…

    I am on the lookout for a new PC for my parents… Mainly for emails, internet, Skype, YouTube etc.. They just want something that's not going to bog down and run like a slug within a couple of years. Would this suit? :)

    • Garbotoxin on 07/05/2019 - 16:40
      +15

      To answer your question in short - yes it would suit, but this would be pretty overkill for just emails, internet, Skype and Youtube!

      The long version of the answer:

      For just web browsing and general day to day, you really don't need a dedicated graphics processing unit. While it's NICE to have something dedicated to do it, there are CPUs that do that built in (all of Intel and AMD's APUs will do this). Without a dedicated GPU, systems will generally cost $250-350 less depending on how expensive the unit is

      • N1NJ4W4RR10R on 07/05/2019 - 16:50
        +5

        Note - It's no longer true that all Intel CPUs will have iGPUs.

        • Garbotoxin on 07/05/2019 - 16:53
          +1

          Yikes, really? I haven't looked at Intel CPUs for a long time ever since I switched over to Ryzen.

          Did Intel take out iGPUs with 9th Gen?

          • N1NJ4W4RR10R on 07/05/2019 - 16:56
            +1

            @Garbotoxin: Some of them yeah. The F series have had the iGPUs removed (I'd imagine for the sake of helping Intel keep up with demands, they've been struggling a bit apparently).

            The only one really widely available is the 9400f right now, though I think the 9700 and 9900 lines are meant to have an f model as well.

            Think Techfast has a bundle with the 9400f actually.

              @N1NJ4W4RR10R: Yep it's the only i5 we're selling right now. Have a 2080 system and others too.

          True but the GPU-less Intel CPUs have all been more expensive than without because … er. I don't know.

          They seem like a boutique product atm.

          • netsurfer on 07/05/2019 - 20:45
            +1

            @Diji1: Um… i5-9400F is $239 (MSY). That's cheaper than i5-8400 ($319) and Ryzen 5 2600 ($259). So, GPU-less Intel CPUs can be cost effective.

            • N1NJ4W4RR10R on 07/05/2019 - 21:44

              @netsurfer: That is definitely a deal. It's typically priced between the r5 2600 and r5 2600x.

    • CrayRay on 07/05/2019 - 16:41
      +3

      Short answer: Yes

      Long answer: This will be a complete beast for that purpose - unless they're not careful with adwares and click on every link online, then no computer is suitable

      • cala90 on 07/05/2019 - 16:47

        Thanks guys. I understand there's no need for a dedicated GPU, but (noob question) would it by any chance keep it running a bit faster for longer? Or is it more based on CPU performance and SSD's instead of HDD's?

        I know they don't click on things they shouldn't, had to make sure they knew that when they were learning to use a computer lol. It'll also be used for writing invoices etc. (not that I can see that making much of a difference).

        • Garbotoxin on 07/05/2019 - 16:51
          +3

          CPU speed and SSDs definitely takes the wheel when it comes to how fast you can do your day to day tasks on the computer.

          Back in the day you could have a super fast CPU, but a mechanical hard drive would be the bottle neck of your system. Think of it almost as "No matter how fast your brain can process what's coming, it'll still depend on your legs to move"

          CPUs that have built in graphics processing has resources "set-aside" to do so, I don't think it'll affect overall performance too much from a speed perspective. Most business laptops nowadays use the CPU's built in graphics processing features, unless you buy a gaming laptop specifically

          • cala90 on 07/05/2019 - 18:49

            @Garbotoxin: Thanks for the help everyone, some very good advice. Guess I'll keep looking around if this will be overkill (though it does fall well under budget).

            • netsurfer on 07/05/2019 - 21:24

              @cala90: Ryzen 5 2600 and GTX 1660 Ti - if you don't have actual need for that 6 cores / 12 threads and/or have sufficient number of games, it is an overkill.

              For parents, you could consider Ryzen5 2400G (that one has embedded GPU). The money saved on the graphics card can go towards a larger SSD, a 27 inch IPS monitor and you should still come out ahead from a price point of view (assuming you can assemble a PC yourself - otherwise some shops do charge extra to PC assembly).

              Parents tend to be using mobile phones, tablets or smart TVs more nowadays. My parents have better phones than me - that's intentional (one of them has iPhone XS Max).

              But if you need/want Ryzen 5 2600 and GTX 1660 Ti, this is a good deal (another way to look at it is that you basically get the SSD, monitor for free with this deal - but then you probably want to upgrade those two parts).

        • CrayRay on 07/05/2019 - 16:53

          For your usage a better CPU/PSU/Motherboard/SSD/anything else comes before GPU for longevity.

          Need to point out that there's no OS and only 120GB too, so you might wanna up that

    • Ostrk on 07/05/2019 - 16:59
      +2

      This is way too much tbh. I'd get a simple Ryzen 2200G build to save money and spend the rest on good storage and peripherals. That's just my opinion though and what I would do for my parents.

      • CoronavirusVaccine on 07/05/2019 - 19:27

        A good screen is probably money better spent if they are doing invoices And general web browsing. 2200G would be an excellent choice. Save some electricity cost too by not having a gaming graphics card; unless they want it to double up as a heater and don't mind the running cost

    • Snoovey on 07/05/2019 - 17:14

      How about a Chromebook with a decent sized monitor.

      I know you gave some web safety advice but it may be obsolete in 6 months.. The Chromebook is currently safer than a windows PC and will likely be a safe bet for a couple of years.

      The portability might be a plus too, but the big win is saving lots

    • HKS on 07/05/2019 - 17:21

      this is too overkill. buy them a 2200g with 8gb of ram in a tiny case and mount it behind their monitor. or a NUC

      Cala - You probably saw it but this sounds perfect for your parents - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/455363

      I bought my parents something similar a few months back. They still can't get over the speed of the SSD. It boots to the desktop in less than 10 seconds.

      EDIT: Check the comments in that deal, some people have found similar or slightly better specs for a bit cheaper.

    • vid_ghost on 08/05/2019 - 09:24

      More hard drive space is better then a 1660ti for what they want i for.

      I noticed you upvoted the boost mobile plan posted recently. However I have concerns that the plan didn't come with a free phone. It's like buying a computer with limited storage and no OS, you have to go and organise it yourself. I can't believe the gall of some companies.

      It depends. If you're doing all kinds of colour work and adding different graphics it will do ok, but a threadripper would be your best bet. But for the money this is unbeatable for 4k video work… Of course for 4k editing and scrubbing through the video your gonna want all the ram you can get! But the Ryzen 2600 and 1660ti are fantastically powerful for the money!

      Video editing systems should have 32gb of ram & ideally be clocked faster then the 2400mhz ram these guys offer, also a cpu with more cores & threads also helps with video rendering, something like a ryzen 7 2700x would be much better

      If you know anyone at a uni they might be able to grab a free copy of windows 10. My mate goes to ECU and the license key he got through his uni has activated windows on 2 computers so far. Worth a go if you're looking to save some $$
