3700X-JUL3900X-JUL

Hi folks,

Hitting an all-time low price for a 3900X productivity machine, with Biostar X570 GTA motherboard, 16GB 3000MHz RAM, 240GB 2.5" SSD for those bringing their own or upgradeable via the site, 650W 80+ Bronze PSU, starting with a Biostar RX 550 4GB GPU upwards.

Also offering a 3700X productivity machine with B450, 16GB 3000MHz RAM, 240GB SSD, RX 550 upwards, and 750W power supply.

Both come in the new Leaper Air Maxx case, which should meet the majority of community feedback we have received over time regarding our cases. It's been a long time coming due to various minor complications like a global pandemic, but it is a full mesh-fronted ATX case with 3 x 120mm RGB fans (RGB functionality can be turned off while fans keep spinning), 240mm radiator support, full length tempered glass side panel, PSU shroud and support for 2 x 2.5" and 2 x 3.5" drives.

      The bundled B450 has 2. The MSI mortar B550 has 4. Deal will still be going.

  I think you're being sarcastic, but it's actually true. I have a 4th gen i3 without even an ssd at work. As an example one task I had to do maybe 4-20 times per day was compiling the project which would take 10+ minutes. At home I can do the same task in under 5 minutes, and I have a budget computer…

      Admittedly at the same hospitals, all connection is via virtual connection so the computer does nothing more than act as a display. But the virtual server is so slow that it might as well not be SSD…

The $260 price difference to get the 3900X system seems like a no brainer since you get the X570 board and the much better PSU. Sell the RX550 and drop in a GPU of your choice and you've got a serious machine for the money.
- jace88 on 28/07/2020 - 15:25
  
  I agree. This seems like a great setup for the money!
- milfey on 29/07/2020 - 16:49
  
  Would it make sense to get the 3900X bundle now and then wait for the new Nvidia graphics cards?
  Currently using a 1070 so the RX 550 would be swapped/sold.

    Yep unless you want to wait for ryzen gen 4, I think that would be a good way to go (chuck the 1070 in it and use it until RTX 3000 series comes out).
- J6 on 11/08/2020 - 20:36
  
  What's a good gpu that would be a general upgrade from this?
  - xyron on 11/08/2020 - 20:56
    
    My general view is the best bang for buck right now is the RX 5700/5700XT but big navi and RTX 3000 series is just around the corner…

      The B45M2 is actually pretty decent, the others aren't really good. I've been running an OC on my 3500X (nothing large) with it with no VRM throttling issues, and I also OC'd the 2666C19 RAM to 3733C18. It also has an M.2 slot, I think it's quite a decent cheap board.

  - Serapis on 29/07/2020 - 01:41
    
    If you're talking about the price spike, I believe price was more because Intel announced delays to their 7nm chips:
    
    https://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-announces-delay-to-7…
    
    This caused a dump in INTC and rise in AMD.
    
    News about Zen 3 was already trickling out before, price movement was up but nothing major.

  Component prices always gonna drop when new gear comes out. Keep doing it and you'll never end up buying.

  The tempered glass definitely adds weight. Its the same weight as the MAG Forge, about 5.5kg without components.

Hey Luke,
I've been a long time lurker of your posts just waiting for the day to either build or purchase a gaming computer and was wondering if you do custom builds?
Reason being is I've got my own ram lying around so wanted to save costs where I can.

      RAM resells well because it doesn't really die, at least it'd take a lifetime to. The manufacturers are pretty confident about it, with many offering lifetime warranties.

    Not necessarily… if you haven't got a top of the line GPU in your part list you could drop the Intel CPU and Z-series board necessary for overclocking to a Ryzen and B-series board, then you can afford a better GPU which will improve game performance more than the Intel CPU could.

With the 3700X build, is there any chance you could add an option for a b450 motherboard from another brand such as MSI or Gigabyte (perhaps one such as https://www.pccasegear.com/products/50001/msi-b450-gaming-pr… ) which will be slightly pricier than the biostar but not quite as much as the b550 option?
Also I'm curious about the PSU, as there's nothing specified for the generic 750W, however the gold certified 750W is significantly more. Any clarification on that?

Thanks in advance
- Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 29/07/2020 - 20:51
  
  We don't have any other B450 options at the moment - the B450 Mortar was there previously but is unavailable, others have not been available in sufficient quantities prior to that. The Mortar B450 may return when it comes back into stock.
  
  The base 750 is a simple cost effective unit with a substantially lower price than 750W Gold units, which have also jumped in price due to shortage and demand of late, hence quite a large delta. The Bronze is a good option for those seeking a rated unit.

Hi Luke

Is it cheaper to purchase it disassembled (parts only) or its the same price .. just takes longer cause you have to put it together ??

Thanks

  Lol they will never seller it disassembled, how would they test it? Since they warranty the system. Better option is just source the parts yourself and build, if it was more expensive won't be much
- Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 30/07/2020 - 09:50
  
  Hi, yes, we do offer it unassembled. Our assembled warranty does not apply so individual manufacturer's part warranties apply to each component. We can assist with this if required in the event of a faulty component. Enter SHIP UNASSEMBLED in the Notes field at Checkout to request it. It does not generally save much time as orders are picked on the same day.

Luke, what is the approximate date to receive the 3900x system if I were to buy, its says in stock but I've heard on previous deals people have complained of delays.
- Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 30/07/2020 - 09:51
  
  Every system is estimated 14 business days from order to dispatch and we do our best to be as close to this as possible. It is an estimate not a fixed time, due to the nature of the Australian supply chain environment.

Interested in the 3900X guys, umm ive read somewhere that getting upgrades directly from Techfast were very expensive, is this still true?

This was posted 4 years 3 months 25 days ago, and might be an out-dated deal.
