3600-3070-MAR

Hi all,

As requested many times on deal posts and via PM, here is our new RTX 3070 deal. CPU pairing options are R5 3600 and R7 3700X, with various upgrades available on other lines as always. I think everyone understands the demand increase/supply shortage across GPU in particular which have driven prices up. There is insufficient Intel supply for an Intel-based deal at the moment.

You will need to use the links here in OzB to access the product the coupon applies to.

Ryzen 5 3600 | RTX 3070 8GB Gaming PC: $1888 after 3600-3070-MAR

  • AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6c/12t processor [3700X upgrade available - no Zen 3 upgrades available at this stage]
  • RTX 3070 8GB [Galax/MSI/Giga/Asus being used; twin fan models more likely]
  • Gigabyte B550M Aorus Elite motherboard [MSI X570-A Pro and Gigabyte Aorus Elite X570 WiFi upgrades available]
  • 16GB 3200MHz (2x8) RAM (brand/model may vary; upgrades available)
  • 480GB 2.5" SSD (brand/model may vary; upgrades available)
  • Gigabyte P650B 650W 80 Plus Bronze PSU (Gigabyte P750G 750W 80 Plus Gold upgrade price dropped to $69)
  • Lance-V ATX RGB case

Expected shipping times from late second week of April onwards.

Order updates:

  • All Intel 3070 deal orders are in build and are dispatching this week to be finalised next. We're working through orders in date order as quickly as possible - I think you can see pricing wise you got a great deal so hang in there.
  • Ditto with 5600X - there were some CPU delays here which have been resolved and all are in prebuild to ship this week and next.
  • 1660 Super orders are continuing to ship in smaller numbers as GPUs become available. Definitely delays there due to mining demand and supplier shortages but they are moving through
  • No specific update on RTX 3080 orders at this stage from the last communication to customers. As soon as we know, you'll know, via email.

Cheers
Luke

      There's been a few drops in the past week for 3070 between $1050-$1200 (some triple fans too), guess it's an okay price if you're not in the know

      • Agret on 19/04/2021 - 14:29

        I guess it depends if your software mainly uses the CPU or offloads a lot of the rendering task to the GPU. If its got a lot of GPU offloading there won't be much difference but having more CPU cores generally speeds up rendering quite a lot in well designed rendering software so the 3700X should give a big advantage over the 3600.

    While this is indeed quite a bargain mostly because of the GPU and the rest is quite a steal tbh
    The reason why gigabytes p series is so cheap is because no one wants it.

    Reviews online and YouTube have said it has exploded before and I didn’t double check this when I bought it but was able to luckily swap it out on before it was too late (at shopping express).

        +1

        yeah, in reality if you are selling your old GPU and you have a decent one, its not a huge difference, I managed to sell my 1080ti for $700 - its now worth more!!!, so the upgrade to 6800 xt only cost me $500 and I had it for 2 years….I dont think thats a bad deal
        if you had to buy from scratch though….1k should be top tier GPU - max

  • PatD on 25/03/2021 - 14:12

    I've been building something similar and I won't be able to get even close to this price without an MSRP 3070 which I doubt is gonna happen any time soon…

    • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 25/03/2021 - 14:16

      Estimated timing info just under the listed specs in the deal post. Other cases, not at this stage as we have plenty of both options offered.

    • Danyon Farrell on 29/03/2021 - 12:11

      Chupa expect anytime form 14 business days - a month or longer. I ordered a similar system end of February and still haven't got a notification it has shipped. Totally worth the good deal and I'm in no rush, just thought I'd give some clarity.

  • Chael Sonnen on 25/03/2021 - 14:14

    Would the aftermarket coolers be worth it for a 3700X upgrade? If so, 120mm or 240mm? Reading conflicting comments online about whether it makes much of a difference for a 3700X.

    • scrimshaw on 25/03/2021 - 14:17
      +4

      If you're not overclocking the 3700X, the stock cooling is sufficient.

      The 120mm All-In-One Liquid CPU Cooler (+$89.00) is not good value, single rad coolers don't perform nearly as well as an identically priced air cooler, such as the Noctua NH-U12S.

      They also make more noise…

      • Chael Sonnen on 25/03/2021 - 14:19

        Thanks heaps! No intention to overclock so will be sticking with the stock cooler. Saved me some cash!

      • audumla on 26/03/2021 - 11:13

        I bought 4 of the noctua coolers almost a decade ago for a server setup I had at home. They’re still basically the same design and they continue to work brilliantly. Noctua always release a kit when the socket changes for less than$15 so I’m still using them and the fans they came with. Definitely recommend them for longevity of use and quality.

    • hayden on 25/03/2021 - 20:43

      My experience with the stock wraith stealth cooler on a 3600 was terrible, no overclocking and it was idling at 55c, hit 95c when playing assassins creed and auto stop.
      Ended up going overkill with a noctua d15 and it’s never gone over 72c now with all cores running 100% on benchmark tests

      • Nomad2233 on 26/03/2021 - 23:21

        I found the wraith cooler to be absolute trash as well, idling at like 50 is ridiculous

      Not this deal at all.

      Motherboard with 13 PCIe slots
      Pentium CPU
      4GB RAM
      Small PSU to power the mobo/cpu
      HP Server PSU with breakout board to power 13 gpus
      13 GPUs

  • Chael Sonnen on 25/03/2021 - 14:25

    Hey Luke, a question regarding this comment for the mobo: "Features at least a single M.2 slot (32 Gb/s)"

    Across the brands of boards you're offering, is it likely that the mobo will only have 1 M.2 slot?

    • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 25/03/2021 - 14:31

      That's more of a catch-all for other listings on our website where that config is offered where the brand/model may truly vary, but for this system where I've said B550M Aorus Elite, X570 will be X570-A Pro and X570 WiFi will be Giga Aorus Elite, all three motherboards are guaranteed to have 2 x m.2 slots.

    Hey Luke, I got one of your 3080 deals at the end of last year. Very occasionally my computer will just straight up shut down (like power shuts off) when I'm playing a game. When I got the pc I pretty much installed minecraft rtx and the crash happened when I started up minecraft rtx for the second time and it has done it in a few other games since.

      Over the years with all the various CPU/GPU combos, sure, there are numerous things that can cause it. Best bet is to email [email protected] to see if the team can help diagnose and repair it under warranty for you.

    Hi luke, I'm interested in getting this today. How long till I receive it??
    If i get it assembled, regarding warranty do I just get the manufacturers warranty and if I get it assembled I get TechFast warranty + manufacturers??

      Estimated timings in the deal post below the spec above. Warranty wise, any part with a manufacturer warranty that extends beyound the assembled system warranty you choose from us, you are absolutely entitled to.

    None are ready to ship "off the shelf". So do you guys just take the money and we wait months for parts? like preorders from other companies that take your money in the hopes of getting it sometime in the future??
