Hey OzBargain!

We know you are all very keen for the new 3000 range coming out soon so here is our attempt at a '3000 range ready' system. I do think these cards go well with the best system you can afford and I think it is important to make sure the rest of your build suits your shiny new GPU. We are currently aiming at a 2-3 day dispatch for these machines would should ideally arrive right when your 3080's do.

I encourage anyone who can build there own system, to do so. As we all know there are some crazy deals out there at the moment. Having said that, for those who cannot, or do not want to, here is another option for you!

Here is the PCPP version of this system coming in at $1,361 before shipping.

    Correct me if im wrong but b550 will work with a 3080 but it will also slow it down?

    • MasterScythe on 15/09/2020 - 18:20

      Correcting you.

      Even pci gen3 while below the maximum throughput threshold is unlikely to see any real world fps hit.

      Though b550 is gen4 anyway.

      • brrrrrgh on 16/09/2020 - 11:15

        Yep.. NVIDIA used PCIE gen 3 (i9) to benchmark their 3080s for all the slides that are available currently.. obviously a non issue.

        • Lighter Fluid on 16/09/2020 - 12:45

          Depends if your nvme drive is allocated to the same pcie lane and whether you're reading writing to it. Also at high resolutions 4k/8k with rtx on you will be right on the edge of the capacity of 3.0 if not over. This was tested again with an i9 + a 2080ti on tomshardware.

          PCIE 3.0 will be a limiting factor for these very very high end cards especially at maximum resolution. That being said the likelihood of this being relevant for the average buyer is close to 1% of the entire pcmasterrace if not lower.

      • Ash Mantle on 16/09/2020 - 21:33

        Confirming that this board wouldn't slow the RTX 3080 down, but benchmarks haven't as yet been released, but you should still be good. B550 AMD boards are great, in that they are already PCI 4.0 compatible, and importantly with this comes upgraded VRAM and cooling to best handle current and next gen parts.

        Importantly, B550 boards - which are mid-range AMD boards, and X570 boards - which are top-end AMD boards (though these are expensive and enthusiast orientated) are forwards and backwards compatible*, meaning they'll welcome current chipsets in, say, the AMD Ryzen 3700X, and they'll already be upgrade ready for the RTX 3000 series, and PCI 4.0 SSDs (I wouldn't actually recommend these for the time-being because they're too expensive and you wouldn't notice a real world difference), and AMD Zen 3 Ryzen (I'd recommend looking at and possibly upgrading to these when they're revealed) ready without needing to replace these motherboards.
        *Though not compatible with older Ryzen chipsets.

        You'll have a beast of a computer.

      I think the main thing you need to worry about slowing your 3080 down is your monitor!

      • timmydunlop on 15/09/2020 - 18:33

        WTB 32" curved 144hz 4k monitor :P

        does this rig come with a auto pre-order for the 3080? :D

        Nah it's the wallet that will slow it down

    • mitcheo on 15/09/2020 - 18:37

      thank you, i thought b550 was gen3, cant seem to edit my comment for some reason

  • king snake on 15/09/2020 - 18:19

    good price, I will buy i9 z490, haha

  • scuderiarmani on 15/09/2020 - 18:26

    Plus 1 for the PCPP price quote, good stuff from both.

  • BROKENKEYBOARD on 15/09/2020 - 18:28

    I wonder if they'll stretch this to include no CPU either since the 4000 series might be available very soon.

    • ln28909 on 15/09/2020 - 18:33

      Yeah I was thinking the same lol but that's probably too big a stretch, cause may as well build your own PC by then

    I'm sorry to say but this pcpp is no where near competitive enough

    Ryzen 3700x $471.03 Delivered by Amazon AU (overridden as 519)
    B550 Aorus Pro $270 Delivered by Computer Alliance eBay (overridden as $299)
    Corsair RM850 $197.10 Delivered by Computer Alliance eBay
    WD SN750 500GB $139 Delivered by Amazon AU (overridden to Mwave so no free delivery)

    Total $1346.29 with delivery included

    So yeah if you're gonna post the pcpp, don't override at the very least

    • AssociatedTitan Tech @ Titan Tech on 15/09/2020 - 18:49
      +3

      None of those Computer Alliance eBay prices show on my PCPP?

      I do not include NewEgg or Amazon in my PCPP as they usually have one of the following issues, Non GST inclusive prices or Incredibly long shipping.

      The worst thing for me with them is claiming warranty means shipping both ways from US. The prices I included are the lowest Australian sellers I could see.

      I would appreciate if you can show me a link your PCPP build with Computer Alliance eBay?

      • ln28909 on 15/09/2020 - 18:52
        -8

        I understand but if you use pcpp as a benchmark for prices, you shouldn't overridden as they would auto adjust each other to account for the deal you could get from eBay

        And the prices from Amazon that I listed are all shipped and sold by Amazon AU not US

  • j0hnd0e on 15/09/2020 - 18:45

    Sorry TT, your previous deals were great but I give the prize to TF for this one.

    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/565073

    Under $1.2k after upgrading MoBo to B550/X570 (no wifi), 1TB ram and Gold PSU (G750h).

    • ln28909 on 15/09/2020 - 18:50

      you keep saying it's the G750h but I search through Ozbargain and see no explicit mention of that by TechFast, see this comment for example, it is a lottery

      https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/552097#comment-9008209

      and that PSU is rated as Tier C Recommended for cheap mid/low-end systems from LTT

      https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1116640-psucultists-psu…

      even if that tier list is harsh, I wouldn't want that to run my 3080

      • j0hnd0e on 15/09/2020 - 19:07

        You complain about this deal being uncompetitive, and you complain about the TF deal using crappy parts. If you're so picky on parts and prices then don't go for a prebuilt system.

        • ln28909 on 15/09/2020 - 19:09
          -6

          I'm saying that the rep is providing misleading information here, if they were to post the original pcpp then Id have no problem with this deal.

          As if someone don't want to build a PC, paying $100 to get it built is reasonable

          And you should do the same and stop spreading misleading information

          • j0hnd0e on 15/09/2020 - 19:17
            +1

            @ln28909: My point still stands. There are different deals with different price points for people with different needs, just because one with a lower price point that doesn't suit your needs makes it a bad deal.

            • ln28909 on 15/09/2020 - 19:19
              -3

              @j0hnd0e: like I said, I negged this deal due to the misleading pcpp that makes people think that it is only an extra $5 for build fee, but in reality the build fee adjusted would be like $80-$100.

              like $80-100 for built fee is fine, but marketing it as only an extra $5 that I cannot agree with

              I'm not saying that the price provided by TT is not competitive, I'm saying the pcpp provided is not

              and look if I were to recommend someone in buying a prebuilt, I would probably recommend TT tbh

      • smokey and on 16/09/2020 - 19:36

        for many, many months TF did use the gigabyte G750H, as the gold 750w upgrade, which is a verygood PSU, especially as the upgrade was very well priced originally
        I believe lately the have been Deepcool and Unwin gold 750w upgrades used instead

    • Roger Ramjet on 15/09/2020 - 18:56

      Wouldn’t touch TF with a ten foot. Past posts consistently have complaints about shipping delays, doa and shite brand parts being used.

      • j0hnd0e on 15/09/2020 - 19:04

        Can't speak about shipping delays but the recent TF deals or at least the one I posted above shipps with (mostly) reputable components.

      1TB ram? where is this deal? I will buy 10 😋

      TF always has been and always will be cheaper then us. I won't deny that.

      Best of luck to anyone buying there lol.

    You are getting negs cause you didn't build a dirty piece of rubbish rig like techfast do to save $200 on total cost.

  • squall3031 on 15/09/2020 - 22:13

    Is XMP enabled before you send the system out?

    • syousef on 15/09/2020 - 22:45

      I've blocked Techfast so I don't even see them but this isn't any better than the deals I saw and was blocking. A key reason to buy a pre-built PC is so that it is professionally assembled and the whole thing comes under one warranty. If anything goes wrong there is no question which retailer supplied it. This build negates that, and for what advantage exactly?

    • AssociatedTitan Tech @ Titan Tech on 16/09/2020 - 07:15

      Yes, unlike some of our previous systems these come fully ready to go.

  • syousef on 15/09/2020 - 22:38

    Why wouldn't you just wait till GPUs are available?

  • pronoun on 16/09/2020 - 08:05

    Up-voting for the honesty in the OP.

  • TsunamiInTheHouse on 16/09/2020 - 08:55

    Put a 3070 in there and you're looking at a $2300 build which would barely, if at all beat my 2 year old $2000 build (8700k / 1080ti) build, i dont see the value tbh.

    • AssociatedTitan Tech @ Titan Tech on 16/09/2020 - 09:57
      +4

      I personally wouldn't say 1080ti and 3070 are even in the same ball park.

      • TsunamiInTheHouse on 17/09/2020 - 00:07

        That assertion is arguable at best.

        1080ti has been serving me for roughly 2 years, 3070 is yet to arrive.

        So yeah, the 3070 isnt even in the same ballpark, there're not even playing ball.

  • Trys10k on 16/09/2020 - 10:02

    +1 as I was expecting a shit-house PSU to make the price this is at but thoroughly impressed by an RM series

    I'm considering buying something like this although not rn nonetheless I will be on the lookout for more post of yours in the near future for sure
