Comparing Techfast build vs Umart ( including build )
CPU: Intel Core i7 9700KF Processor vs Intel Core i7 9700K
MOBO: Motherboard* — Intel Z390 Motherboard vs Asus Prime Z390-P ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER 8GB Graphics Card vs MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Super Ventus XS 8G OC Graphics Card
RAM: 16GB DDR4 [3200MHz] (2 x 8GB) vs Corsair 16GB (2 x8) DDR4 3200MHz Venge
Storage: 480GB 2.5" SSD vs ADATA SX6000 PRO 512GB M.2 NVMe Gen3x4 SSD
Power: 750W 80+ Gold Power Supply vs SilverStone ET750-G 750W 80Plus Essential Power Supply
Cooler: 120mm Liquid CPU Cooler vs Cooler Master Hyper 103 Universal CPU Cooler
$2499 vs $2878.00

Both look good to me, which would you get if you had the money and were looking to upgrade from your 5 year old Laptop ( GTX 880M )

Are there other sites where you can configure and get your PC built ?

    Always cross-check with http://au.pcpartpicker.com/

    Most people build it themselves, it's just a chunky Lego kit.

      Tried that, and had a DOA motherboard, but could not prove it ( The DOA ). Seller said I broker it.

        Pccg are great for warranty.

        Get a broker to negotiate a replacement for you :P

        You actually accepted that response ? Do a chargeback or report them to the relevant government body.

    Do it yourself. Have fun and learn skills. :)

    personally i wont choose both any of them..
    first of all, u can get 10 gen intel today….most shop started to sell today, it bring better value than 9gen, as future generation will build on lga1200,

    techfast is known of what they used and how much they charged, most likely a biostar motherboard,…ssd most likely lexar, sometimes u get better but most likely you dont..those are companies with less reputation than like asus or msi or samsung, i wont recommend others using those even 1k build if planning to use a decent amount of time,
    and dont get 120mm liquid cpu, most of them are useless, cheap aio is no better than stock cooler

    the umart listed actually decent, but i will suggest 10700k cpu and z490 motherboard and samsung ssd

    most of the shop actually will build it for you with a service charge, so you can choose what you want then ask them to build it for you..
    my advice is see which big computer shops around you and order online and pick up from store, as shipping usually will charge u an arm…

    I build my own,
    Purchasing components over time from when they go on sale

  • Mechz on 20/05/2020 - 19:15

    Centrecom, Scorptec and Computer Alliance. But build it yourself, honestly a no brainer.

    Don't let one bad experience stop you from building your own. So many good tutorial videos out there from Youtubers like Bitwit and JayzTwoCents.

    Any if you need any more help, there are plenty of forums out there as well with some many people happy to provide a tip or two.

    Neither, i'd build it myself every single time.
    it's not difficult or that time consuming to do and you choose parts yourself.
