Spoke to rep Luke about lots of budget deal requests and they have secured stock of RX 570 8GB for this deal, great for back to school with a $99 24" monitor and keyboard/mouse option too. Upgrades available on most components - 16GB RAM recommended for gaming.
Enjoy :)

- 240GB SSD
- 550W PSU
- Leaper Air Mini MATX RGB case
- Add 23.6" Allied Monitor and Keyboard/Mouse for $99
VR will probably still work, but likely a lag fest and won't be an enjoyable experience. I'd say for a good experience, you'd want 1070/1660 level of performance and above.
Depends on the game but for HL: Alyx which is one of the more recent VR games — it's going to be a stuttery nauseating experience.
Thanks guys. I found this https://www.pcgamebenchmark.com/your-quest-2-system-requirem… googling whilst I waited for someone to let me know. But run vs run well is a good point.
To play Your Quest 2 you will need a minimum CPU equivalent to an Intel Pentium 4 3.00GHz. Provided that you have at least an NVIDIA GeForce 510 graphics card you can play the game. In terms of game file size, you will need at least 200 MB of free disk space available. The minimum memory requirement for Your Quest 2 is 1 GB of RAM installed in your computer.
Ummmm. What.
That website is rubbish and I wouldn't use it as a guide for anything. They're simply scraping data from other sites and there's no manual review process to make sure the information is accurate.
Out of all the laptops I've tried, the 1660ti had the best bang for your buck in terms of performance.. an easy 70+ fps on medium in HL:Alyx using Quest 1… On the Quest 2, had to lower the settings a bit to get the same performance.
I wouldn't bother with anything less than a 1060/2060 grade card, it's just not worth it
Very good points, looks like the $1500 i5 3060ti from techfast would be the way to go, but he will have to mow the lawn a few more times to get that one.
I did not have much experience with too many desktop VR title but so far….
Phasmophobia works seamlessly with this system in VR via Virtual Desktop.
No Man's Sky is too laggy to be playable.
Vacation Simulator also works seamlessly.
VR Chat is a bit odd because in some chartrooms it's smooth but others can be really laggy.
The only thing different in my system is that my CPU is Ryzen 1600x which is 6 cores 12 threads while the 3100 is 4 cores 8 threads. I also bought a cheap $35 8gb ram stick because 8gb is nowhere near enough nowadays.
because it's not cheap lol, Techfast will come to $650 with 16GB RAM, RX570 for $200 is too expensive, and you also have the famous Allied PSU waiting to burn your house down

Hmm do you think this case would fit 2 x 3080s for my mining rig?
@Skramit: Just put it on the table lol secure with some paper so it doesn't fall over, my 6 gpu rig is like that
You have included 16gb ram and Techfast only have 8gb making this price even better. NOT A DEAL for me. Why all the upvotes ?
Techfast have had value packages. Some of which I've purchased. This is not one of them and too expensive.
@WilhelmBargo: Labour and a 4 week lead time with a low quality components in this budget build. The trade off here is usually you get a great price as the positive with Techfast. In this case the price is average but you still have to deal with the other negatives.
Once again not worthy of the upvotes as a good deal. It's OK pricing(you wouldn't feel ripped off), that is the point I am making.
@belongsinforums: Did you read his full build description. He states why it isn't included.
Also above build has all quality parts..Techfast will give some biostar motherboard. Some allied branded ram and a cheap PSU. And you still want to compare apples for apples. The quality just isn't there from Techfast this time and you can build a HIGHER quality build for the same price .
Would you buy a Toyota or a Great Wall for the same price? They both drive A to B right.
@cheapaschips: ah that wasnt clear. i agree that 570 is a bit dated. im using my 580 build, one of the first techfast deals, and to my surprise it runs cyberpunk. pretty sure i paid around the 800 mark but i forget
The only negative about this build is upgrade path… Oh wait the deal has a shitty A320 board lol
You have a pattern in your responses.
hehe :)
I feel bad for the people not in the know and buy this kinda pc because of the irrational upvotes
Ohhh you mean that wayyy. Your comment shoulda mentioned it in that way first off
@perhaps: well I personally would not recommend this specs to begin with, i would recommend to save like $100-$200 more before you buy a pc if it is meant for any purpose other than a home office computer
The price is also mediocre
@ln28909: esp at RRP it is terrible value. I agree a $1000 well-specc'd PC, compared to the RRP of this unit is chalk and cheese
@ln28909: Agree
I would also recommend to spending another $100-200.
But at that point, another $100-200 will get you even better system.
And why not spend another $100-200 for greater performance.
Another $100-200 will do great job for future proofing.
You should also spend another $100-200 at this point for better quality parts.
And you might as well spend another $100-200 for aesthetics and stunning rgb.
@MagicMushroom: People laugh at buying 3090 over 3080, this is the same but reverse, the value also significant decrease if your budget is this low
will this run Among Us?
No chance. /s
Absolutely
Will this run Qbasic - Nibbles game?
Gorillas
Budget Gaming = "great for back to school"
Love it!
You can't play fortnite until you've finished your homework might be a good way to get someone to do their homework…
I read on the internet that I can get a PC with a 5950x and rtx3090 for only $4000 more. Therefore this deal is terrible. Also, pwrz slupy riiiiii
I need sleep.
applause
at least someone appreciates trolls being made fun of
I think $599 is still above my budget lol
16gb ram seems to be the standard, if you equip with that then you require upgrading motherboard. You may also consider upgrading SSD to nvme and that takes you to around $1000. my god…
Lol "gaming" this dosnt even have a spinner in it. That 250gb SDD won't even fit the new COD + an OS. I guess if you are happy to only play games from 5 + years ago. I'd love to see this tackle a recent AAA game.
Web Games :-)
Flash games
MW is particularly abnormal when it comes to size.
The game is poorly optimised (presumably because it's built for HDDs and wants to mitigate seeking on last-gen consoles) and shouldn't be used as the benchmark for 'normal' game sizes. Cyberpunk is about 60gb, Half Life Alyx 63gb, heck even MS Flight Sim is 130gb.
Lol cod
Now I have to deal with all the (mod: edited) that have bought this as a 'gaming computer' disconnecting mid game cause of 100% RAM and CPU usage!!
What game?
Vice city
Wow. Really?
Sorry guys I am noob, what is required to make this is a VR gaming PC? A good video card? If yes then which one?
You need MONEY !!! $$$ $$$ $$$
And buy something better.
Yes, no shit sir, I was hoping to know which card and what setup rather than a lazy answer of "You need money!!! $$$$$$$"
They literally talked about it in the first comment
Depends what VR headset and what sort of performance you expect. Though I would say there is not much point in turning this into a VR gaming PC, the baseline is just not appropriate. more memory, better graphics, probably bump in CPU too
You would require at the minimum a 1070 and a mid to upper tier cpu.
Do not buy this if you want to VR. :)
Thanks mate ❤️❤️
hi, if you can find the "desktop computer" tab near the top of this page (the tab is not always available on other pages) you can see a list of recent deals. About half way down said page there is a system from TechFast for 1398 with a 3060ti card that would cover most virtual reality system requirements, although I understand that computer is over twice the price of the present listing
I think you are referring to this one. Seems like a popular one looking at the upvotes though.

I have a mega old build from circa 2013. I upgraded it my gpu to gtx2070 in late 2018.
What’s a good budget build that I can sub my 2070 into? Looking to outlay 1k max shipped.

Have you seen this TechFast deal with no GPU?
You can't overclock the processor with the a320 motherboard
I'm a fan of mini case builds
Can someone tell if this is a good deal compared to this dell? The $367 discount is tempting
https://www.dell.com/en-au/shop/dell-desktop-computers/inspi…
If you think the dell pre-built is great value for money, then just chuck in a low powered GPU, and your good to go. Personally, I wouldn't go for OEM prebuilt because of the motherboard and PSU they use (Power supplies in prebuilt most often don't have PCI-E power cables, and the motherboard is just limited by the OEM to what you get), maybe try to find another company such as tech fast (or buy from them) who build PC's from parts so you have an upgrade path in the future (still, they tend to use cheaper PSU and budget motherboards).
ohhh, think I'll pass then
Would this do VR with quest? It’s perfect for my nephew if it does.
