    roughly just under $400 for the rest of parts when you take out the gpu and thats if you can manage to get one.

    • +4

      If you're looking for the card alone, PLE are showing stock available for $849.
      Sorry, not trying to hijack post, just for discussion purposes.

      On a sad note, saw someone trying to scalp the exact same card for $1250 on Gumtree this morning.

      • +2

        Lol, anyone who tries to buy that might as well just save the $50, purchase this, and then have a fully-blown PC :)

  • Is it just me that feels uneasy with a PSU under 600W, though this build is likely completely adequate?

    • +2

      Was looking at this yesterday, when scouting ideas for ITX build, apparently 600W is recommended for 3060/3060Ti build.

    • +6

      a good quality 500 watt power supply is adequate for a 3060 / Ti

      https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/k6ftty/will_rtx_306…

      EVGA GD is 'above average' for a power supply so it's all good to go

    • +14

      No idea why everyone keeps wanting to buy high wattage PSUs. I run a 3700X + 3090 on a 650W high quality PSU and it works just fine. Cutting it fine, but totally workable. Total draw is 510W under load. You'll be fine even with a 450W high quality PSU for a 3060.

      Much more important to get a good quality PSU than one that is just high wattage.

    • A 400w psu is more than enough for this system

        • And people laugh at me when I buy a 1600w psu 😒

          3950x + 2x 2080ti is already 1000w

          • @ln28909: It mostly comes down to whether you're overclocking or not
            Brian from tech yes city ran a stock 3950x and a 2080ti on a CoolerMaster MWE 450w bronze psu
            It worked fine without any throttling
            So tbh you'd be fine with a 1000w psu

            • @cre8t1v3yoozername: I initially have them on a hx1200, and it would trips some sort of protection at full loads

              But yeah they were overcclocked pretty hard

          • @ln28909:

            And people laugh at me when I buy a 1600w psu 😒

            hahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahha

          Torture tests on the GPU's and CPU's simultaneously aside, when does your system ever even draw half as much power?
          Buy a power meter and see for yourself.

    • Overall wattage ratings don't really say too much. You need to look at how much current it can provide on the 12V rail consistently and it's peak current capabilities.

      In this case they're using the EVGA 500 GD 500W 80+ Gold which has a current rating of 41.6 Amps on 12 Volt rail meaning it has about 500W it can supply (albeit not very efficiently) on said rail.

      Taking a look at the TDP figures we can estimate the average power draw on load for both the CPU, which is 65W, and the graphcics card, which is 180W. This is well below the 'max' 500W on the 12V as they state. Now I'm not sure is this is how much current the power supply can continuously supply or if it's just a peak current rating.

      In any case my point is this power supply is more than capable of handling this sytem.

  • Made a pcpartpicker minus gpu because getting a good price on one is impossible https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/vbW4vf
    Psu price from newegg but not listed on pcpartpicker also the deepcool case isnt listed but this is same price as pccasegear matrexx 40

    You are looking at a sub $600 3060 if you take into account the rest of the pricing which in this market is a damn good deal.

    • -1

      i.e. what they should be charging?

  • +7

    For those planning on buying a pc from these guys, in a previous thread they told me that they won't ship the additional accessories that come with the components (screws, SATA cables, additional PSU cables etc.) to add your own storage drives unless you pay an additional shipping fee. Maybe something to take into consideration if you need to add your own drives and can't pick up the system in person. Could the rep clarify if this is the case?

    • +4

      Just got an email back regarding this issue and apparently all the relevant cables etc. will be shipped. Not sure why in the past they've said they won't unless you pay an additional charge. Here's the comment chain for anyone interested: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/604297?page=1#comment

      Again if the rep could clear up the confusion that would be much appreciated.

      Thanks

      • +2

        Hi Winston,

        I just confirmed with our warehouse staff that all the cables will be attached to the case.

        But we unable to deliver the original package box unless extra shipping cost.

        Sincerely,

        BPC Sales Team

        • +1

          Of course, I was never asking for the packaging, just the necessary cables, manuals, screws etc. so we can add our own drives or whatever. Thanks for clarifying

          Any chance you could bring back a deal similar to that Sakura system for the same price with the same components? I'd be interested in buying.

          • @WinstonWithAY: Hi Winston,

            We will keep creating PC build deals, make sure you keep following us for the new deals!

  • +1

    I am not disgusted by this deal…..in fact…I'm a little worried how much I like it

  • what is the return on investment time if you using this to mine eth these days?

    • casual question, since the main purpose for the pc is still work and entertainment/gaming.

      • +2

        For a 3060 I doubt you'd break even unless you have free power, after the intentional nerfs nvidia put in.

    • +5

      Never, once factoring in power prices in Aus.

    • 3090 - 120mh/s
      3080 - 90-100mh/s
      3060ti/3070 - 60mh/s
      3060 - I'd assume it'd be 50mh/s pre-nerf so you'd be looking at 25mh/s which is worse than a 1070 which you can pick up for $300-400 depending on the market.

      edit: roughly a year for roi at current eth price and difficulty.

    • +2

      It depends on how long it takes for the limiter to be bypassed, because currently it seems to be limited (based on some reports) to about 27 MHs max (which is about what non BIOS modded RX570s do) at 100 watts. So I suggest you put that info into a mining calulator (e.g https://minerstat.com/coin/ETH ) along with your power cost and see what you get.

  • How did they come up with their domain name?

    • +1

      Rebranding from Budget PC (budgetpc.com.au) to BPC Technology (bpctech.com.au)

    • Creative

  • Wtf. Lol

    No windows? - CPU upgrade option available

    I cant connect to wifi? - SSD upgrades.

    • +7

      Buy an OEM key for $10 online. Run some ethernet cables.

    • I won't be complaining at this price tbh
      $45 for a wireless AC adaptor
      $15-20 for a win10pro key
      Sata cables are $1 from msy

      • +4

        No I think OP means under the pull down tabs for upgrades, the options are wrong.

        • Thanks. :)

  • +3

    Oh god, I just finished my built and now this comes up………………

    Asus PRIME B550M-A (WI-FI) $149
    CPU 3600 $288
    Crucial Ballistix Gaming Memory 16GB (8gb x 2) DDR4 3600MHz CL16 $76
    Graphic Card 1660 Super $300
    SSD Western Digital WD Blue SN550 500GB NVMe SSD $80
    PSU Cooler Master MWE Gold 550W 80plus Gold Certified Fully Modular $127
    MSI MAG Forge 100R Mid Tower Gaming Computer Case $95

    Total: $1115

    • Must have been annoyed when the MAG Force 100R was $59 today as well.

      Good build though.

      • yeah, could have saved $40…….

    • -5

      A mistake for that psu imo, not a fan of 3600 for a budget build.either

      • What would you use? Love to hear your thoughts

        • Personally would have grabbed the bitfenix 750w for $129, 10400f and z490 phantom ac for sub $400

          I see you have the cheap crucial ram so I assume you have been picking up parts for awhile

          • @ln28909: Didn’t know much about the bitfexnix brand so I went with something safe. Yes my first purchase went as far as Black Friday. It’s finally completed so I am happy with this first time built

          • +2

            @ln28909: why would you need 750W PSU for a 1660 Super?

            • @jamessong: Cause it was the same price as the 550w psu that aerith bought

              • @ln28909: guess i am stuck with it for now. oh well first time built always costs a bit more than others who knows more….

                • +1

                  @Aerith-Waifu: Don't stress about it; you're paying for experience!

                  Always keep in mind that current prebuilds being cheaper than the sum of their parts is absurd - don't think I've ever seen it like this. DIY was always traditionally the way to go. The markup on parts is clearly high enough that resellers would rather provide free labour in exchange for larger gross sales figures i.e. a $1199 PC instead of us shopping around and only spending say $400 at each reseller.

                  Don't forget, your 1660 Super is now likely worth >$400!

                • @Aerith-Waifu: Nah it's a great build, you've done well. It's easy to add an extra 100$ here and then and end up 500$ over budget.

                  This is a really good setup with room to upgrade if needed. The two M.2 slots on that mobo are great, some really good deals come up.

                  There's no point getting a z490 mobo for 95% of users, the 1660 is great performance at a great price point, and I would have gone the Gigabyte over the BitFenix as well.
                  You can always upgrade the GPU in a couple of years when prices level out.

                  • @deleted: Z490 motherboard is the only chipset that supports 3600mhz ram properly on Intel

                    He is saying that to get the z490 + 10400f is under $400 whereas Aerith paid $437 for his cpu+motherboard so the Intel setup is cheaper even if it could be considered overkill (you can't overclock the 10400f)

                    Here is a video of 3600 vs 10400f they are basically the same in gaming

    • Where did you buy the 1660 super for $300? :0

  • Decent parts used for this prebuilt but I don't think the 3060 is good value, even at $600. If I was outlaying this sort of money, I would fork out a little extra for the 3060ti or 3070 but then you would have to upgrade the CPU to match, bumping up the overall system cost..

    It's sort of a "no man's land" in this price bracket. Not enough of an improvement over TechFast's R3500X+ 1660S combo to justify the premium and since you're already laying down $1K+ you might as well go all the way and just bite the bullet and not compromise. IDK..

    • Can't find a 3060ti / 3070 for under $1k. Literally cheaper to buy a techfast build for $1400 and dump everything but the gpu on the marketplace.

    • +2

      Don’t know why you are getting downvotes. The 3060 is not a great value card. Some of the recent deals for 3060ti/3070s were not that much more in terms of cost and provide significantly more performance.

      • Yeah, I think people are trying hard to rationalise or justify the bargain in this build. I get that and at first glance, I fell into the same trap. Then I compared it to deals on either side of this price point and the value just didn't stack up.

        I think BPC is pretty clever in trying to distract you from the 3060's poor value proposition by including other components which aren't "bottom of the barrel" and throwing you off the scent.

  • -2

    While it may seem cheap I don't think a 3060 should be paired with a 9400F.

  • $89 to upgrade to Ryzen 3600 is a great deal I reckon

  • do you guys think there will be a sub 1k rtx 3060 build in the future?

    • Yes in 5 years time

      • damn it. The price tag is just way too hgi hat this point. Tbh I don't really care about other parts except for the CPU and GPU

        • Yeah stock shortage really hurts the budget conscious consumer

          Comparing the msrp with 3060 ti, we should at least see some models around $650

  • Assume CoD won't fit on this.

  • @budgetpc Can we get a 3080 system deal?

  • Your page isn't working with the build upgrades. The upgraded options are bugged.

    • Hi Phlume,

      The bug has been fixed, the option part should be back to normal now.

      Regards
      BPC Customer Service Team

      • Still not working for me.

  • Video card has almost as much memory as the PC.

  • +1

    I am unable to upgrade many parts? Is there a fault?

    • Hi MrKingi,

      We have fixed this issue, and you should be able to use the upgrade properly now.

      Regards
      BPC Customer Service Team

      • It is not working on any of your PC's, still. e.g. the 'No Windows?' drop down allows me to add a Ryzen 5 3600. It's pretty bad. Tried chrome and explorer.

        • Hi Andrew,

          Try to add the system to the cart first, it should back to normal after this step.

  • computer for the price of a gpu alone :o

  • +1

    Are you able to send the components in their original boxes so I can just use the parts I need and build my own system? I believe TechFast do this option.

  • hi @budgetpc, can I upgrade the cpu to 10700F?

    • Hi fanfan6ji581,

      We could upgrade to the 10th gen intel CPU. However, since we are using the 9th gen CPU at this deal, if you wish to upgrade to 10700F, together, you have to upgrade the motherboard.

      Regards
      BPC Customer Service Team

      • How would we go about doing this upgrade with mob as well? and how much?

        • Hi MrKingi,

          Contact our Facebook Customer Service Messenger, they will help you with the specific upgrade option.

  • Is this enough for 4K video editing? I have 34 dell 4k curved, will this run on 4K @60hz?

    • Hi Owenz,

      If you looking for 4K 60hz rendering, I would recommend you to go with a graphics card above 3060TI

      Regards
      BPC Customer Service Team

  • Is this system build quiet?

  • Anyone got Warranty experience to share with BPC?

  • They just changed the price to 1299 sad
