3950X-EOFYS

Hi all,

Dropping this big boy today, in strictly limited numbers. We've chosen the two Gigabyte motherboards based on reviews and availability. It stacks up pretty nicely to this PCPP build at $2259.10 which also excludes all individual component delivery.

Ryzen 9 3950X Gaming & Workstation PC: from $2188 after 3950X-EOFYS

  • Ryzen 9 3950X processor
  • GPU range from RX 550 4GB, GTX 1660 6GB (+$360), RTX 2060 6GB (+$449), RTX 2070 Super (+$879), RTX 2080 Super (+$1149), RTX 2080 Ti ($2059)
  • Gigabyte X570 Gaming X motherboard - upgrade to Gigabyte Aorus X570 Master WiFi mobo available
  • 16GB 3200MHz RAM [3600MHz upgrades available on 16GB and 32GB variants)
  • 480GB 2.5" SSD
  • 750W 80+ Gold PSU
  • 240mm AIO (top mounted) - 360mm upgrade available (front mounted)
  • Thermaltake Commander G Series case [likely G32]

EOFYS deals all ending soon:

Cheers
Luke

    This deal is lukewarm. Something with a B550 mobo and cheaper price would be hot!

      550 will come when supply increases enough to run a deal. We'd run into stock issues otherwise and ain't no one got time for dat around EOFY.

    any reason for pairing a very expensive CPU with a very cheap GPU

    PS: I'm a pc noob

    • nushydude on 23/06/2020 - 16:12

      a 3950x is not a gaming CPU. it can game really well, but its primary focus is not gaming.

      besides, you have the option to upgrade.

    • camelthief on 23/06/2020 - 16:14

      This CPU has no integrated graphics so needs a discrete GPU to work. The included one is probably the cheapest current gen GPU.

      You can pay more and upgrade to a better GPU.

    • ItsMeAgro on 23/06/2020 - 16:27

      Workstation workloads (that is, not gaming etc) that need a fast many-core CPU.

    • emoticon on 23/06/2020 - 16:45

      $$$$. If you’re looking for a gaming PC this one is not worth the money, you’ll need to upgrade to at least a 2070 to make it a worthwhile match with that CPU, which would blow out the costs.

      Having a really powerful CPU and a weak GPU doesn’t make sense at all. It’s a total mismatch for gaming.

      Techfasts other EOFY deals that include the 2070 super are much better value for gaming.

      Though If I was spending $2000+ I’d be building it myself or at least choose the parts I want and get a reputable PC shop to custom build it. PCCaseGear/Scorptec etc.

      You don’t even have to be knowledgeable about PC parts, ask the store to put together a system parts list and price according to your budget, share it with the internet, https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/ or on ozbargain/whirlpool forums, the community will give you advice on if it’s good or what to change.

      When you’re spending so much money it’s worth spending extra time researching and choosing quality parts. It’s something that is supposed to last many years.

      Same principle with buying a car.

    These EOFY "deals" are worse than their regular deals. Please bring back a proper deal!

  • camelthief on 23/06/2020 - 16:16

    Hey Luke, have you guys stopped offering AMD RX5600s and RX5700s as GPU upgrades?

    • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 23/06/2020 - 16:19
      +3

      5600 didn't sell especially well when offered and I haven't had any requests for it since. 5700 is still in the mix, just not on this as 2060 is pricing is comparatively much sharper.

      • Void on 23/06/2020 - 16:46
        +1

        The 5600 XT seems to also just have a lot more issues than the 5700s. I'm really not sure why, but I see way more posts on r/buildapc about the 5600 XT with BSODs.

      • camelthief on 23/06/2020 - 16:49

        Thanks for responding, it's a shame that AMD pricing isn't more competitive.

        • Void on 23/06/2020 - 17:45
          +1

          5700 series is doing well. The 5600 XT not so much when the EVGA 2060 KO is like $20 more for all the NVIDIA goodies and more stability.

    • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 23/06/2020 - 17:28
      +8

      Every system is fully stress tested prior to shipping so arriving DOA would mean it was damaged in transit, and either a full refund or complete repair/replacement would be provided. If it hasn't been sorted for you, please let me know. Systems are securely packaged internally and externally to minimise the risk.

      • AustriaBargain on 23/06/2020 - 18:01

        If you are legitimately considering not purchasing from us due to a one-line review that is related to courier mishandling, I would be happy to talk you through any concerns you have. Please PM if so.

      • belongsinforums on 23/06/2020 - 20:14

        mine was also DOA but they did eventually send out a new video card and asked for the dead one to be sent back. new video card worked ok but three major issues remain:
        -DVI ports on GPU are dead (but HDMI works fine)
        - i get blue screens almost daily
        - usb ports are borked and constantly drop connection with any power hungry device (phone, HDD, thumb drive)

        granted i didn't pay $2000 for it.

        • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 23/06/2020 - 20:39

    • Aequitas on 23/06/2020 - 17:51

      That would more likely point to a bad postal service. Was the pc replaced for free?

    • dotMonkey on 23/06/2020 - 18:00

      Agreed, stay clear. I had an issue with the provided motherboard, had to pay out of pocket to get a new motherboard.

      • AustriaBargain on 23/06/2020 - 18:02

        Surely these guys could have RMA'd a mobo for you? How long after purchasing did the issue arise.

        • dotMonkey on 23/06/2020 - 18:05

          Not long, few months. I asked and they told me it would take a month to get it sorted. I don't think that is an acceptable amount of time to be without a PC.

          • AustriaBargain on 23/06/2020 - 18:10

            @dotMonkey: You could still warranty the mobo itself though these guys from the sounds of it. You paid for it, it's broken not due to your own fault, you're not using it, and it's only a few months old. Even if it's too late for a refund on the original mobo you should still get yourself a working one.

            • dotMonkey on 23/06/2020 - 18:14

              @AustriaBargain: Yeah, I'll give it a go one day. I'll probably just sell it if it gets fixed, would work the same as a refund anyways.

              • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 23/06/2020 - 18:24

                @dotMonkey: LMK if you want to go ahead. Definitely warrantable. I don't know the specifics of the mobo, but a month for one that we don't have on hand or is short of supply can be correct, for shipping back, sending to manufacturer, return to us, fix, test and shipping back.

      • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 23/06/2020 - 18:03

        A motherboard issue would be either replaced or repaired under warranty, or if you wanted to upgrade it would be offered at the going rate (or downgrade with an applicable refund). If you chose to purchase another MB elsewhere, separately, that would be your decision. Again if this hasn't been your experience, I'd like to know about it.

        • AustriaBargain on 23/06/2020 - 18:07

          That sounds promising, if you'll let users swap to another mobo once their confidence in a certain model has been broken. Sometimes certain models have a bug with your exact RAM and Windows version or whatever, for all I know anyway.

        • dotMonkey on 23/06/2020 - 18:08

          See above. Also, I wasn't offered an upgrade.

            @dotMonkey: Come on mate. PM him the details surely there's something they can help you with.

            Also considering we are not in a normal world right now and heaps things take time to deliver and OOS.

            I don't understand people like you keep going on about one thing when you have obviously been offered an alternative/help from the seller.

            • dotMonkey on 23/06/2020 - 22:46

              @sauce2k: Um what? I have talked to them already when I needed the motherboard fixed. Now that I have fixed the problem myself I will contact them so I can sell off a working part.

              I was never offered an alternative from the seller. It was either: wait a month and not be able to do any work without a PC, or suck it up and fix it myself out of pocket. I tried asking them for anything else, I could have sent video proof that the board was defective and get them to send a replacement part without losing my PC in the meantime then sent them the defective one, or I could have been refunded the price of the board they used to get my own replacement. Any other time I've dealt with any sort of tech company I was sorted out in the best way possible. What I've learnt from this experience is that you get what you pay for: subpar parts and second-rate customer service.

              That wasn't even the full story, so don't come at me with "people like you" when you clearly don't know anything about the experience I had.

      • Hugh G Rection on 23/06/2020 - 19:43

      This is… satire… right? NVMe is pretty much a gimmick unless you're editing raw 4K (tbf people with this spec might actually) and 16GB RAM is enough and could easily be upgraded just by plopping in another 2 DIMMs.

  • bean_counter on 23/06/2020 - 18:43
    +2

    I have been looking at a few of the Techfast deals - initially attracted by the headline pricing. However, not being able to select the brand/model of many of the components is a concern for me. In addition, some of the upgrades I've contemplated don't appear to be that cost effective - in some cases the cost of an upgrade is almost as much as just buying the wanted component outright, in which case you also get to choose brand/model. Having stated that, if the packaged systems meet your requirements then the deals being offered generally appear to be very competitively priced. YMMV but I'd rather select actual models/brands for components - so I'll pass on these deals.

    • Void on 23/06/2020 - 18:49
      +1

      Let's make a thread of the component models buyers got! I'll start:

      B350 Motherboard: Biostar B45M2, this was switched to a different one iirc.
      SATA SSD: Lexar NS100
      750W Power Supply: Thermaltake Litepower Gen2
      2666MHz RAM: G.Skill Value RAM, it is Samsung C-die despite claiming to be B-die.
      RX 5700 (non-XT): MSI MECH OC (the bad batch one, (profanity) hell 110c junction)

              @j0hnd0e: Yeah shit Allied one for sub $800. Mine was $978 (excl. Shipping). The RAM really hindered my performance, luckily I overclocker it to 3733C18 but had I not my fps would be like 20% lower.

                    @Void: Wow, you must be really lucky to get that thermaltake PSU. It seems they're using their allied PSU for all standard PSUs now. If they offered that as a stock option for like $30 more I wouldn't hesitate to get it. I don't need a gold PSU and don't want to pay $100 for it.

  • skozb on 23/06/2020 - 19:02

    I really don't understand most Techfast builds. You don't need water cooling for this (does 3950x come with a cooler as standard?). 750w psu not needed. Anyone that needs a 3950x for work will probably need at least 32gb of ram to pair with it, and a higher end video card (eg video editing), and large storage, and that ssd is trash by new standards.

    Might be a deal compared to buying products from new like for like, but the pairings just make no sense to me.

    Lack of branded products like psu always concerns me too.

    I've just ordered (not yet built) parts including full peripherals for 4500, 3900x, msi gaming x trio 2080 super, 6tb WD Red NAS HD, 500gb gen 4 ssd, 32gb 3600 trident rgb ram cl17 (rgb lol), 360mm aio (will be oc), top of the line case, 27 inch Asus ips 165mhz panel, lightspeed wireless mouse/keyboard, 750w seasonic ultra gold+ psu, hyperx headset, all running on the brand new msi mag x570 tomahawk. All get amazing reviews.

    I will use it for office, video editing for work, and gaming.

    Yes 4500 is more than 2k, but I wonder what deal techfast could do with what I ordered, branded top of the line components?

    • Void on 23/06/2020 - 20:04

      The 3950X stock cooler is subpar, though I'm not even sure it has one. 750W is just their marketing shit.

    Hi Luke,

    In the description you have 480 GB SSD, but the default is 240 GB for the price listed.

    Am i miss understanding?

      No, one of my fields didn't save, thanks for the heads up. Previous purchases will of course be honored at 480GB as advertised.
