Hi folks

In anticipation of RTX 3000 series launch, we know many of you will be looking to buy the GPU of your choosing, so we're offering RTX 3000 series-ready PCs with no GPU. These are designed for RTX 3080 (with 750W Gold PSU upgrade), RTX 3070 and below GPUs; you will need to install the relevant drivers when they are released of course. We don't know enough about RTX 3090 requirements to offer a spec for them without having tested them ourselves, but they'll almost certainly be too big for this case and possibly spec.

So you're getting a fully assembled PC, stress tested with a GPU in our facility, and shipped, ready to take whatever card you want in there. Needless to say RTX 300 series cards aren't the only GPUs you can put in them!

If you're interested in an RX 550, RX 570, RX 580, GTX 1660 or RTX 2060 in one of these, please email [email protected] for pricing and invoicing, etc.

Ryzen 5 3600 and Ryzen 7 3700X RTX 3080/3070 Ready PCs: $699 and $899

  • Ryzen 5 3600 6 core/12 thread or Ryzen 7 3700X 8 core/16 thread processor
  • MSI B450M Mortar Max motherboard - B550 Mortar and X570 upgrades available
  • 16GB 3200MHz RAM (models may vary) - upgrades available on site
  • 240GB 2.5" SSD (WD Green) - upgrades available on site
  • Gigabyte P650B 650W 80+ Bronze power supply - 750W 80+ Gold upgrade available and strongly recommended for RTX 3080
  • MSI MAG Forge 100R ATX Case - 2 RGB front fans, 1 exhaust, mesh front, supports 330mm GPUs

Ryzen 5 3600 system: $699
Ryzen 7 3700X system: $899

We're planning to get these systems out well inside our regular 14 business day estimate. Unassembled systems will definitely ship quicker, as everything is in; to order this system unassembled, enter "SHIP UNASSEMBLED" in the Notes field during Checkout. We cannot remove any parts to reduce the price any further, from either assembled or unassembled systems

Important Notes about these PCs:

1) They do not feature a graphics card and will not output a display to a monitor without one. You must install your own graphics card for the PC to work as intended.
2) The PC will be fully assembled then stress tested with a graphics card installed, which will be removed prior to shipping.
3) The assembled system warranty for the system applies only to the components provided by us. Any additional components are installed at the end user's own risk. In the event of a warranty claim, any end-user modifications that are found to be the cause of, or contributing to, the issue being claimed, may have an impact on the claim.
4) Our assembled system does not apply to assembled systems; individual components' manufacturer's warranties apply. Email [email protected] for warranty claim assistance.

Expires midnight 17 September.

    Great idea but are you getting much 3070-80 series stock? If not I think you need to allocate "first refusal" pre-orders to buyers of these systems.. These systems could sit there gpu-less for months otherwise..

    But then you'd be pre-purchasing 3000 series rather than shipping from suppliers. Difficult for a small business due to cash flow.

    This is really hard logistically..

    • ATangk on 11/09/2020 - 13:59

      Isnt this deal, buy a computer without a GPU and you buy one later to fit in yourself?

      We'll be building everything to order so nothing is prebuilt. 3000 series cards are coming, but they'll be subject to regular handling times and potentially longer - we're still waiting on delivery details etc.

      We've been gearing up for this for a while so stock levels are great. Certainly a cashflow challenge with every generation, you're spot on there.

          Well i have two of the games installed namely RDR2 and Flight simulator 2020.'
          The sizes for them for me are:
          Red Dead Redemption 2- 116 GB
          Flight Simulator 2020- 95.2 GB
          Either way though 240 GB is not in anyway enough for any gamer who plays more than one or two games at a time.

          • El-CheapoNazi on 11/09/2020 - 14:51

            @firsttimeuser7: @firsttimeuser is RDR2 really 116GB only? So if I had a 240GB SSD with fresh install of W10 and maybe 30GB of persona files/data then I would definitely have space leftover for RDR2?

        it's a $900 gpu, equivalent to the 2070 super price

    • ln28909 on 11/09/2020 - 14:04
      +2

      Yeah I agree, this is not a good deal imo, people that are looking to buy with this specs, are probably not willing to pay a premium over the MSRP for the new card, and if you don't want to pay the premium, you would be waiting like a solid 6 months imo, cause this specs are just weird.

      Why do you put a mAtx board in an ATX case, ryzen 3000s when the 4000s would probably widely be available and reasonably price, once they can get the new GPUs, and not very good quality psu

      also at the very most, the people that are buying these specs would either buy a 3070 or 3060, would be hugely imbalanced to pair with a 3080

    • dcep on 11/09/2020 - 14:04

            @dcep: psu is the one thing you shouln't cheap out on, like you can buy a Corsair RM850x for about $200 (so double the price), but it should easily last you through like 3 builds. With this psu, when you upgrade the system in 3-4 years, you'll have to get a new one anyway, since the wattage is too low and not as good quality,

            yeah pretty much, if your system is over $1.5k no reason to not buy a top tier psu.

                @scuderiarmani: I feel bad for the guys at techfast seeing some neckbeards cry that it isn't the fastest pc each time on their posts.

                Nothing is wrong with these parts (they're actually pretty good) and a 3070 or 80 will go fine with them. We don't even have actual benchmarks but it's very unlikely a 3600 or 3700 will bottleneck these gpus, nvid also said the pcie 3 won't be a big diff on these cards compared to a 4. The 4000 series ryzens are also not out. Won't be out before the gpus are out and yeah they will cost more.

                You can also pay to upgrade if you want.

      • So lo on 12/09/2020 - 12:34

        Ignore pricing. Relative cost of ram and ssd has gone down so much in the past year its proven that's a broken model. I have 2yo $600 ram and $1200 ssds that i could replace with new $120 and $200 parts with the same quantity and performance.

        At the moment how far down the AMD CPU stack do you have to go in order to bottleneck the best GPU (RTX 2080Ti) in comparison to the next CPU up?

        3300X. In some games.

        The 3700X has about the same boost clock but twice the cores and threads so its twice as performant (so long as for that specific game, performance scales with # cores and not clock speed).

        The relatively lower clock speed (but remember
        that 1 intel comet lake GHz != 1 amd zen-2 GHz, or any other architectures GHz. Instructions Per Clock [IPC] gets ignored way too much) of the 65W Ryzen chips can then be mitigated by increasing monitor resolution from 1080p to 1440, or [gulp], 4k.

        I think the best 4000 series 65W ryzen chip (3700x successor) will be the true i7-2700k replacement (which is the title the r5 3600 has been given, I think prematurely) given their rumoured higher IPC and boost clocks. We will see in 3 weeks.

        • RI4V4N on 11/09/2020 - 14:32
          +3

          The 3600 cooler is a bit noisey. The 3700 seems to be fine.

          Get a noctua 14 or 15. If your worried about it being real hot.

          • MHLoppy on 11/09/2020 - 15:48
            +4

            @RI4V4N: A high end Noctua cooler would be extremely unnecessary as a cooler upgrade for 99% of users and would be throwing $100 down the drain since the cheapest ones available start at ~$130 and only go up from there as you get better models (like a fully fledged D14 or D15).

            If you want a cooler upgrade and are not going for an aggressive OC then most of the 120mm (or larger) tower coolers between about $40-80 would provide adequate cooling without being loud. For the 3600 you could potentially get away with even less. If you're especially worried about both temps and noise (in an area with high ambient temperatures) just go for the high side of that range.

        • So lo on 12/09/2020 - 14:34

          https://www.gamersnexus.net/images/media/2019/CPUs/ryzen-col…

          Look at temps at the bottom, its kind of backwards for us who aren't doing sub-ambient cooling.

          Start at 55C - 4200MHz, then start going left. For every increase of ~5C you lose ~50MHz boost clock. NVIDIA started this with the 10 series GPUs, and now we're seeing it in CPUs.

          So, use the cooler that comes in the box. Check your temps. Then work out how much you would stand to gain by installing a bigger cooler, and weigh up your cost/benefit from there.

    • Vinodra on 11/09/2020 - 15:33

      If you're going for the 3080, you will probably need the 750W 80+ Gold upgrade, as that is the minimum PSU recommended by nvidia.

    I'm actually waiting on both the 3000 series cards but also the new gen CPU's as well. Can you offer something that is sans CPU, memory, mobo, GPU?

    Actually I already have a case and storage too so if you could go ahead and quote me on an empty box that'd be great.

    This was the email subject line that I received: "Front Page: RTX 3070/3080-Ready Gaming PCs [No GPU]: R5-3600: $699 / R7-3700X: $899 + Delivery @ TechFast"

    This is how I read it: "Front Page: RTX 3070/3080…$699 / $899 + Delivery @ TechFast"

    😂😂😂

    New 4000 desktop series AMD processors are being announced next month. Bad time to be buying a pc right now if you can you should wait till latter in the year.

    Guys just keep in mind that Nvidia recommends a min 750W power supply for the 3080

    • DeluxeBull on 11/09/2020 - 15:25

      This should be higher.

      • cille745 on 11/09/2020 - 15:37

        From what I know about power draw, even though a 650W would technically work you'd like to have some headroom, not a good look on Techfast's part. If you're going to spend $1139 on a 3080, you're not going to skimp $50 to get something like an 850W

      Fair call - the 750W Gold PSU upgrade is there but I have clarified in the post accordingly that it is strongly recommended for those intending to install the 3080.

        Awesome, it's a good deal

  • aosroyal on 11/09/2020 - 15:50

    the R5 3600 bottlenecks a 2080ti. it might possibly bottleneck a 3070 too. I would also be looking for something more than 750W PSU

    This is a good price.
    Adding the upgraded version into my cart works out to be very close to the build that I am doing (b550mortar, 32gb ram, 1tb ssd, 750w psu)~ $1100
    If anyone's interested here's my 3070 build for $2000

    Is there a possibility of a i7 10700k or non-k build?

    • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 11/09/2020 - 17:03

      Will look into Intel variants for sure.

    Hi Luke, I've just sent you a PM for adding graphic card quote.

  • Oauiii on 11/09/2020 - 18:34

    Is there any chance these will bottleneck a 3070/3080?

      At 1080p gaming for example wanting to get 360 Hz or 240 Hz for sure these CPU's will bottleneck.
      However for 1440p gaming and 4k gaming i don't think the CPU will bottleneck the GPU that much. It would be the other way around for higher resolutions. So it depends mostly on your monitor choice Sir.
      RTX 3070 for 1440p and RTX 3080 for 4k gaming.
      RTX 3080 for ultra wide 1440p at high Hz like 144, is probably the safe bet for future gen games also i think.
      Get the GPU that matches with your respective Monitor choice and there will be no need to fear bottlenecks as long as you got a decent CPU.
      I will note though that the R7-3700X will be the safer bet if you want higher Hz gaming for future gen games like 1440p 144 Hz ultra wide. Will need at least 8 thread CPU (4C/8T or 8C/8T) for high Hz gaming at high resolutions.

    Do you guys do custom build with small cases??

    • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 12/09/2020 - 09:10

      Not at this stage sorry!
