I've had a couple more requests for productivity-type PCs with lower end GPU, so here are two variations with a B450 - with R5-3600 and R7-3700X. The 3700X deal compares favourably to the previous version which was $999 with B350/16G 3200 MHz RAM.

I can also do either of these with a GT 710 1GB GPU for the sole purpose of outputting a display if the CPU is what you're interested in - please PM me if keen for pricing. If there's enough interest I can look at posting the deal but I thought it a little left field to post without asking for interest first.

An R5-1600 AF variant is also coming.

    Hmm, have a 2070 sitting around.

    Would be interested in a quote for the R5-3600 with the absolute cheapest / no GPU please.

      Will look into it. 4 votes in 5 mins says it might be worth a deal.

    • animasoIa on 26/02/2020 - 16:33

      Likewise, have a 2070 super. Almost grabbed the last 3900x deal with the 1070FE

      • Doomedgrind on 27/02/2020 - 12:41

        I’d be interested in the same but with 1600af?

  • jeppetto367 on 26/02/2020 - 15:50

    Small typo in your post, under "High Spec Gaming PCs" you list 2700X instead of 3700X.

      ONE CHARACTER.

      Fixed, thanks!

      • Kiato on 26/02/2020 - 17:55

        One character can make a huge difference.

    Hi Luke, I have been watching your deals and these are great value but I have been holding out for mini itx builds. I know others have requested previously as well and there is more than enough demand for it. Can we please do something in that space? Thx

    • Anubis on 26/02/2020 - 16:06

      Agree, ITX build would be great

    • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 26/02/2020 - 16:07

      Agree demand is there. Wheels are in motion but the current supply environment isn't great for different products right now. Lots of variables.

  • Mortgagetightass on 26/02/2020 - 15:57

    would love a no GPU build

    • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 26/02/2020 - 16:05

      No GPU + end user installation is not currently possible in our business model/warranty structure, but can do the basement GPU.

      • Mortgagetightass on 26/02/2020 - 16:41

        GT 710 or GT 210.. cheap as possible please haha

  • Gusper on 26/02/2020 - 16:01

    What are people doing for an OS with these systems, Linux, Hackintosh, windows 10 buy/something else. It's the only reason I have bought one of these systems yet.

      Some of the Windows options are:
      * Pay $100+ and get a retail licence from Microsoft
      * Ask Techfast for an OEM licence, may be slightly cheaper than Microsoft but haven't seen it mentioned as an option
      * Buy a cheap Windows 10 licence from a 3rd party site ($10-20$), these are a bit contentious
      * Run Windows 10 in inactivated mode. You can't customise things and it has a notice on the desktop but apart from that works normally.
      * Install Windows 7 or 8 and do an inplace upgrade to get a free Windows 10 digital licence, then do a full install. The 7 or 8 doesn't have to be activated for this to work. I don't know of the rules, but I have used this method successfully before.

      • cnut on 26/02/2020 - 16:31

        Luke said $169 for OEM when I asked.

        • BadBreath on 26/02/2020 - 20:35

          lots of down votes heading my way , but I have been buying windows 10 pro keys from CJS keys For $19.71 - for the last 2 years - never expired or had a problem - have 6 running never had one fail

    • cycleri3 on 26/02/2020 - 16:28

      I have a MSDN sub through work, so never have to buy Windows.

      I installed Pop!_OS on one of my laptops I wanted to dedicate to coding.

      Been a few years since using a Linux desktop environment… its come a long long way! Super impressed with it.

      I hear Pop!_OS is one of the go-to flavours for Steam gaming on Linux btw.

    • dualcore on 26/02/2020 - 20:25

      1. Install Win 8.1. No need to activate.

      2. Upgrade to Win 10 for free.

      Easy.

    posted in the wrong area

  • shadowfax1007 on 26/02/2020 - 16:49

    Genuine question for people, what's the quality and longevity of Biostar stuff like? Considering one of these builds for my partner in the near future.

    • imcold on 26/02/2020 - 19:34

      They been making motherboards for 3 decades. In fact people haven been firing up their 486 computers with biostar motherboards and finding they still work.

      Which means you might get lucky in the year 2050, when you fire up your 3rd gen ryzen to play some games on a 2d monitor. Of course passively cooled boards of the era doesn't compare to the thermal throllings pcs of today.

      It's only a few hundred to upgrade all your parts from biostar, if your not a gambler. If they don't waste money advertising they can sell things cheaper.

      • dualcore on 26/02/2020 - 20:34

        Companies change a lot over 30 years. Different management, different factories, etc. you need to look at recent reliability.

        I think biostar is solid tho.

      I ran 5 mining PCs with 12 GTX1060s each strapped to Biostar motherboards for about year in Phuket. Hot AND humid. 0 issues.

      I've re-purposed one of those motherboard combos into my home nas/plex server for the past 2 years. Chugs along without worry.

  • Sutra on 01/03/2020 - 22:42

    Hi guys, is this deal better?
    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/515880.

    Is having the B450 motherboard better than having faster ram (from 2666 to 3200 MHz)?

    Thanks

  • darkness on 02/03/2020 - 07:57

    Hi.

    I just ordered the 3600. Does the video card have DVI output, or would I need to get an adapter?

    Thanks

    • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 02/03/2020 - 10:05

      The Biostar RX 580s have a DVI port.

  • Bigor on 13/03/2020 - 17:31

    Hi,
    Has this deal expired? I get "Enter a valid discount code" in checkout.
