        Not at this stage - they were popular but there aren't enough CPUs to go around for GPU-less builds right now

    • JtheJab on 06/01/2021 - 20:50

      hi luke, i'm very new to PC, would you reccomend getting the 3x and liquid cooling?
      or buying as is would be good enough. thank you

      • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 07/01/2021 - 10:02

        I'm trying to work out what the 3X is but can't?
        On the cooling, we're finding that all RTX 3000 series cards are making CPUs work harder particularly at the highest settings, making them hotter. It's more intense among the top tier cards like 3080 and 3070, so paired with a 3060 Ti, liquid cooling would be a recommendation and would keep the chip cooler, but is not a requirement to prevent overheating.

        • JtheJab on 07/01/2021 - 12:55

          sorry, by 3x I meant the graphic card with 3 fan instead of 2 haha, idk why i go with 3x
          and what will be my upgrade option if i want to upgrade to a better CPU in the future?
          would getting 3070 be a better option than a 3060? i'd probably use it mainly for gaming and editing some videos and pictures. thank you in advance

          • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 07/01/2021 - 13:25
            +1

            @JtheJab: Ah gotcha, wasn't that hard. The Gaming X Trio has superior cooling plus RGB which we all know adds 10 FPS minimum.
            Both X570 and B550 are guaranteed compatible with Ryzen 3000 and 5000 CPUs plus whatever comes next. The base Biostar motherboard in this deal is entry level, so if you're considering a more powerful CPU you may like to consider a higher tier board - any of the upgrade options are good choices.
            I think a 3060 Ti is a really good sweet spot for all those purposes tbh.

            • JtheJab on 07/01/2021 - 13:29

              @luketechfast: ahh i see, thank you
              btw last question would it be easy to upgrade the power supply later on?

    • slurpthederp on 07/01/2021 - 09:10

      @luketechfast A bit of a strange demand, do you have any deals for workaholics who might want a 5950X and 128gb desktop with the capability to later upgrade to a nice GPU as a reward for their hard work?

      • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 07/01/2021 - 10:02

        If we could get 5950X I'm sure we could cater, but we can't!

  • WinstonWithAY on 06/01/2021 - 15:28

    Based on other people's reviews of the Lance case, probably best to factor in the upgrade cost of $89 for the case and $109 for the motherboard upgrade to the final price.

      While the ease of drive upgradeability does leave something to be desired, I think any other harsher criticisms like junk tier I saw are overstated - for a tempered glass, 3 x RGB intake fans, mesh front case, it does a good job.

  • daffyd on 06/01/2021 - 16:34

    After gift card I'd be more inclined to go with the Intel/MSI offer linked above with bronze PSU upgrade.

    By the time you've upgraded the motherboard and case of this one you might as well take a 3600 MSI deal, also linked above, so the AMD longer-term upgrade path isn't compelling here either (here you do have a B550 motherboard but probably not a great one).

    That said, this isn't expensive, just the MSI bonus vouchers makes the other deals better value.

    • dubroutine on 06/01/2021 - 17:02

      What's wrong with the motherboard in this build?

      • celery juice on 06/01/2021 - 17:38
        +1

        Poor quality VRMs and a bit bare when it comes to features (few USB ports, 1 M.2 slot and only 2 DIMM slots). For running a 6 core CPU for gaming without any overclocking it should be totally fine, and the board will suit most users on a budget.

        • dubroutine on 07/01/2021 - 14:00

          I just received the BF/CM deal with the Biostar B550MH board, big warning to everyone considering it: the GPU blocks both PCIe expansion slots, so you will not be able to put in any expansion cards for wifi etc. Huge bummer!

      • daffyd on 06/01/2021 - 17:45

        As celery juice said it should be fine in it's current setup.

        But the main reason to go AMD over the Techfast Intel/MSI deal linked to above is potential future upgrades. And I don't think this is an ideal motherboard (or case) to provide that, so the Intel deal looks better to me.

        • daffyd on 06/01/2021 - 18:59

          Specifically, buy the cheapest deal here, upgrading only to the 650W gigabyte power supply.
          https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/594691

          You'll have a faster system with better supporting components and if you spend the $150 gift card on groceries/things you would have bought anyway then you end up spending no more.

  • throwawayaccount7832 on 06/01/2021 - 17:03

    Will this run Assassin's Creed: Valhalla at a constant 1080p 60fps?

    Is there any way to have the game running on a desktop PC at home and streaming the game to a laptop or Raspberry Pi in a different physical location?

    • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 06/01/2021 - 17:18

      I've been playing Black Ops Cold War at 1080 High/Ultra at about 70 frames on this combo without issue so I think it would be fine.
      Others might be able to answer your other question as I have no idea!

    • rel on 06/01/2021 - 17:57

      Yes, check out steam in home streaming and the steam link app for raspberry Pi.

    • GafnYtHeLoRd on 06/01/2021 - 18:15

      There's also Nvidia Game Streaming, but that works only to Shield devices. Fortunately, there's nifty little thing called Moonlight, do check it out. For me some games work better through Steam, and some through Moonlight, so YMMV with both

  • sanur on 06/01/2021 - 17:41

    Is this worth upgrading to from 970 and i5-6400, or is this a sidegrade?

    • celery juice on 06/01/2021 - 18:03

      If what you have is satisfactory now, then I would recommend waiting a few more months until supply becomes more consistent and prices begin to drop, otherwise this is a pretty good upgrade and should age similarly to your 970.

      • abuch47 on 07/01/2021 - 18:01

        and prices begin to drop

        this is a decent IF. looks like GPUs will likely go up and demand will likely stay similar even with more products released.

      if you would like to build one by yourself you might get a 10400f + b460m + 1tb nvme ssd (or 500gb nvme+2tb hhd) + 24gb 2666 ddr4 + 550w gold psu (or 750w white) + RTX 2060 super/2070 strickly close to $1000

      • HaveANiceDay on 06/01/2021 - 19:01

        You can not get that within that budget unless you get the GPU used.

        • johangules on 06/01/2021 - 19:11

          It is totally possible as the 2070 super + 480gb ssd was $559 here at its lowest www.ozbargain.com.au/node/572620

            @johangules: That deal isn't going to appear anytime soon due to stock with other GPUs, it being EOL, among other things.

            Either way, even if that was that much, you still can not fit in a build with that.

            Also, I actually got that deal and basically no one got the SSD.

            • johangules on 06/01/2021 - 19:27

              @HaveANiceDay: That was sad though but i Acctually did this one in $1100 (i,ve got a better motherboard and ssd) and i built it for my friend. I knew 2070s at this price is not possible so i just listed it as 2060super/2070. There was one 2060s at $499 2 days ago. This time There are still 2060 at $448/459 and if you brought the ssd to 512gb+1tb and psu to 500w this whole system can even be within $900

              • HaveANiceDay on 06/01/2021 - 19:28

      I would say it's possible, but not probable. Depends entirely on CPU and GPU availability.

    Guys,

    Can this drive my ultra-wide Samsung monitor LC49RG90SSEXXY in 5120 x 1440 resolution?

    My current poor old laptop cannot go any further than 3440 unfortunately even though the monitor is more than capable to do so.

    And if not, would you be able to suggest a variation which could do it?

    Thanks

      Yes

        @stevtom27

        Would you be able to let me know where such information could be found for a specific GPU for example?

  • stevtom27 on 08/01/2021 - 00:46

    Good deal. I try build something similar but a 3060 puts me $400 more than their price. No decent cheap graphics card in the market really limits pc builds at the moment. (All 1660 supers pretty much sold out, only 1650s avail or 3060 3070s)

      Yeah it is hard to find!!!

    Hey Luke, any chance of an entry level pc deal coming soon??

    • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 11/01/2021 - 17:54

      Still searching for enough budget-tier components to do a deal, still none around!

  • Floydster00 on 12/01/2021 - 12:45

    Hi Luke, is it possible and what would be the price to upgrade the case in this deal to the Matrexx 55 Mesh?

    • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 12/01/2021 - 12:50

      Case supplies are low at the moment so we're reserving the Matrexx 55 Mesh to systems that it's bundled in, not as an upgrade. We're offering the M55 V3 3F (glass front) as an upgrade. Otherwise offering stock that's low in quantity as both Bundled and Upgrade items can cause headaches.

    Found answer…

    Hi,

    I need to get one for myself but I need 32GB RAM. If I modify it, the code still works?

    • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 13/01/2021 - 09:40

      Yes, the code reduces the price by a set amount, regardless of upgrades.

      This is very confusing

      On the Checkout page, please check that your order summary (in the top section) and list of components displayed (in the bottom section) match. If they do, please continue with Checkout. If they do not, those upgrades will not be reflected in your final order nor charged for, so will not be included in your system. Please clear your Cart, clear your browser's cache, and configure your system again.

    Hi Luke

    Is there any chance of a repeat 10100 deal similar to the one posted late last year?

    • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 13/01/2021 - 14:48

      Still looking for budget tier components in the market!
