  Your 3900X description above says:

  16G 2666MHz RAM (3200Mhz upgrade $29)

  On the 3900X page it says the base spec is:

  RAM: 16GB [2 x 8GB] 2666MHz DDR4

  However when you expand the memory drop down, it says the default option is:

  Memory* — 16GB DDR4 [3200MHz] (2 x 8GB)
  Two modules of 8GB DDR4 RAM at a speed of 3200MHz.
  16GB DDR4 [3200MHz] (2 x 8GB)

  Hi Luke

  I'm waiting on a build with a Matrexx 55 case.
  Does this mean that you've run out of stock of the 55 or just slowly draining the remaining 55s?
  I've just sent you a couple of emails about that but didn't notice the line regarding the 55s being replaced.
  Looking to just go straight to the 50 RGB instead…

  • 

    Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 07/01/2020 - 16:02

    Just replied to your email but for others in same boat, we have exactly the right amount of M55s for existing orders. You can swap to the 50 if you like - they have been ordered and are incoming, maybe later this week, maybe next, so you would just need to wait for them to come in.

  Hi luke and everyone, looking for an entry-level gaming PC that I can use for a few years and potentially upgrade down the track. Heard alot of good things about the 2080. Is $1799 the cheapest point to get that? Or are there any other options? My budget was probably more low $1000's, not sure if theres any options for me.

    Considering the 2080 super alone retails for around 1099, 1799 is one hell of a good price.
    The 2800x is about $580 as well. Those 2 alone are already 1679

    The 2080 super isn't really an entry level graphics card, in my opinion a quite good mid-range gaming computer would maybe have a 2060 super/5700XT, and probably closer to your budget. But if you definitely want the 2080 super this is a good price, I can't speak for the quality of these builds as I have not bought from techfast before. The 2080 super graphics card just on its own sits around the $1000 price mark.

    • 

      [Deactivated] on 07/01/2020 - 18:24

      I would call it high end.
      Isn't 2080 ti top of the range. (Unless you count Titan RTX)

      2080 super is next in line

      I agree re:2060 super/5700xt. The 3800x/5700xt is amazing value but if you don't need processing power probably better of getting 3500/3600x with the best GFX card you can afford.

    RTX 2080 super is not entry level gaming, a GTX 1650 or 1660 super is.

    If you're thinking of getting a high end card, personally I would wait for the 3000 series, but given Nvidia have very little competition at the moment, they'll probably be ridiculously priced.

    If you want a high end gaming pc right now, both these deals are very good. The only caveat is that the budget case is a little bit disappointing as the case quality isn't very good and the airflow looks very restricted. If you do buy it I would move the three front fans to the top and back (if they fit) to create negative pressure and that might be ok functionally.

      • 

        iseeyou1312 on 07/01/2020 - 21:22

        Both of them look like they have terrible airflow, but the Deepcool Matrexx 50 RGB looks a lot more suffocated, so no the Coolermaster is not worse, it's better but could be a lot better.

        Honestly, the casing lets down both builds significantly, especially the Techfast one.

        Ideally, only slightly more expensive, better quality and far superior airflow cases like the p400a and h500 exist, so why you would stick $2k+ hardware in the aforementioned budget cases is beyond me. Especially considering cases could hypothetically last forever.

          @iseeyou1312: Cases don't last ages but not forever, if you use front usb ports.

          I love my current case but the day will come where I need connectivity updates. Which is absurd, the front ports should be on a standardised plate, in the same way drive bays are standardised

            iseeyou1312 on 08/01/2020 - 00:28

            @justtoreply: That's a good point actually. Only now are more premium cases starting to get front USB-C ports, so who knows what the cases with only 3.0/2.0 ports will be like in 5-10 years from now. But I think that 3.0 would still be adequate.

  • 

    Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 09/01/2020 - 07:34

    The Allied power supply has been our standard PSU for thousands of PCs and have proven the same reliability as other standard non rated PSUs on the market, branded or otherwise. 8 pin PCIe power, no adapters needed. The upgrade option to Gold, branded (Gigabyte G750H) is there for those wanting it.

    I don't think I really need to state for the public record that they don't burst into flames, but since it's been suggested, they don't.

    The stock cooler seems to perform pretty well.

    https://www.techspot.com/review/1875-ryzen-3900x-wraith-pris…

    The case will be a big let down though. From looking at the case, it'll probably be worse than the Lian Li Alpha 550 (stock) on this chart (they have similar intakes and fans but the Lian Li has a back fan):

    https://www.gamersnexus.net/images/media/2019/cases/lancool-…

    Adding a top mounted radiator or fans and rear fan could make it a lot better (if there's room) but then you'll have negative pressure and need to deal with a lot more dust getting into the case.

    • 

      Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 08/01/2020 - 10:00

      If they don't come with one (they are ordered and incoming), we will be installing an exhaust fan on the Matrexx 50. The temperature performance on the Matrexx 55 (identical cooling features) was very good with the three intakes and one exhaust. 120mm coolers are mounted at the rear; 240mm at the top.

      • 

        iseeyou1312 on 08/01/2020 - 20:47

        Is there a quantitative definition for very good?

        I can't really find any comprehensive reviews that compare the Matrexx 50/55 to other cases. The Matrexx 70 (which also has a dust filter so will have slightly worse cooling) with a 3600x and 1060 3GB has 50 degree idle cpu/gpu temps and 71/77 under load.

        https://xsreviews.co.uk/reviews/deepcool-matrexx-70-3f-pc-ca…

        I really wouldn't want to be putting a 3900x/2080 super under load in a case with such bad thermals using just air cooling, although a 240mm radiator would do a lot to compensate the poor airflow from the restrictive front intakes.

  • 

    iseeyou1312 on 08/01/2020 - 00:23

    The 3700x, 3800x and 3900x will all have virtually the same gaming performance with a 2080 super. The difference between the processors is primarily for other applications like 3d rendering.

    Blocko on 09/01/2020 - 00:05

    I don't recommend the B350 motherboard at all its was meant for first-gen Ryzen and not for these 3rd gen ones. I would say don't go anything below a B450. if you can X570 for PCIE 4 but their prices are a bit over what I would say is what I would pay for a X570. I always say build it yourself its not that hard but that isn't always an option for everyone.

    • 

      Icic on 18/01/2020 - 07:30

      I am using a B350 for my 3900x setup and it has Been working fine so far. There are many you tubers out there that have tested and none have find any issues with b350 with 3900x. If you have a limited budget and wants the best performance for the bang, you would want for more ram, more and faster ssd and better GPU before splashing on a x570 as it provides very little real performace gain over b450 or b350.

  Yetihunter on 08/01/2020 - 00:15

  A little confused, some options require an ATX case due to size but there’s only 1 case available (matrexx 50). Is that an ATX case ? Also are there cheaper ways of getting windows 10 or is it worth to just select it here (I am a noob)

  EDIT: also is there any point of getting an additional SSD if this is primarily going to be used for gaming or should I just stick with 1 SSD and get a regular HDD

  • 

    Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 08/01/2020 - 09:59

    Yes, this is an ATX case. The component options are shared among many systems in the back end, some of which don't have an ATX case as standard, so they say that an ATX case is required.

    Others here can comment on Windows 10.

    There are varying views on speed of games on SSD versus HDD, but it is generally accepted you will get enhanced speed by loading games onto an SSD rather than HDD.

Had A DOA system originally which was returned/repaired, and just had PSU blow up on me, which support are also helping with (hopefully will just need a replacement without having to ship the whole system back, hopefully no further damage was done).
    So I have no complaints at all over the service. But some of the cheaper components let down these good deals in some ways
