    Nice, slowly working back down to that juicy sub $1500 deal with the biostar MB.

    Any chance of a 6700xt intel deal? I'm sure lots would jump if a slightly lower price intel system dropped compared to the 3600 system :)

    Intel really smashing it in the budget sector atm!

    • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 15/04/2021 - 14:43

      We've sold through the allocation which allowed us to hit the price point we did initially - waiting on quantity and pricing on future batches. It was a popular deal though, no doubt.

  • froogletom on 15/04/2021 - 15:39

    This 3070 pc or dell xps 8940 anyone know which is better

    • ChickenDinner123 on 15/04/2021 - 16:12
      +3

      The techfast one atleast uses off the shelf parts. The dell uses their own crap and apparently their gaming PC overheats and throttles like crazy. Better off getting the techfast assuming all other specs are the same ish

    • FireRunner on 15/04/2021 - 17:00

      XPS you get Dell support (which is good from experience) and it's more compact. Disadvantage is that it uses proprietary parts (PSU and Motherboard) so limited upgradeability (can still upgrade RAM, Storage and GPU if within power limits). It also has issues with the CPU running too hot from inadequate cooling which causes thermal thottling. From what I've heard some workarounds are having the case open when gaming, undervolting the CPU or upgrading the CPU cooler.

      • Wonderfool on 15/04/2021 - 19:24

        It's funny how Linus Tech tips struggle to get good service from Dell, but yet, we seem to think they're one of the more reliable big sellers. Even their outlet products gets their warranty honoured.

        • FireRunner on 15/04/2021 - 19:32
          +1

          Maybe it's just good in Australia but not so good in Canada

            @FireRunner: I assume so, probably cause our ACCC has quite some power in meditating for consumers rights.

    • MuddyClear on 15/04/2021 - 19:54

      No doubt the dell is much better value. It does not have cheap components, has an activated OS, it also runs cooler, and has superior tech support in Australia!

      • WarChief on 15/04/2021 - 23:48

        Link for the Dell in a similar price range please?

  • Flatoni on 15/04/2021 - 15:41

      that would be killer value gaming combo, wonder how much diff 10400F and 11400F, i heard reviews says the 10th is doing better? i guess that is game depended?

    looks like a really good price on the 10400f 3060 build. my friend's been looking for a PC with that sort of spec, maybe he'll jump on it. :)

  • devpress on 15/04/2021 - 15:59

    A bit of a weird question but with the 3060 system, how would it stack up if I swapped out the 3060 with 3070GTX?

    • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 15/04/2021 - 16:12

      Assuming you mean an RTX 3070, it would be fine. The only difference is PSU brand for cost structure purposes but the Allied 750W powers RTX 370 just fine.

  • 811b11e8 on 15/04/2021 - 16:06

    Can we order a system and have it not built just have the parts sent out boxed up?

    • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 15/04/2021 - 16:11

      Yep, use the Ship Unassembled checkbox at Checkout!

      • kypermaster on 26/04/2021 - 21:03

        Hey if I ship GPU separately, would I get the retail box that comes with it?

    • froogletom on 15/04/2021 - 16:16

      Why would you want it unassembled

      • freefall101 on 15/04/2021 - 16:35

        Keep the GPU, sell the rest of the parts as BNIB. Or potentially the other way around, keep the system, sell the GPU. The GPU is going for crazy prices, sell it for $800, get a shiny new system for $500.

        Not everyone needs every part of a new system, I'm on the fence about using this as an upgrade platform then selling the rest as BNIB will get more value on gumtree/ebay/facebook.

        • Shef3000 on 15/04/2021 - 19:11

          I had to use google to understand Buy New In Box. I’m not the hustler I thought I was.

        • AlgoTrading on 18/04/2021 - 15:23

          I've thought about keeping the GPU and selling the rest, but hesitated because I don't think people will pay RRP for something off gumtree even if it's brand new in a box??

          So say if the system is $1800, rest of system is $800 so 3070 is $1000 (street is selling for ~$1.5k). Realistically, you will sell the system for say $500 on gumtree so the GPU is actually $1.3k?

          • freefall101 on 18/04/2021 - 16:09

            @AlgoTrading: You could be like this guy, try for $750

            Honestly, I don't think it's worth the hassle selling everything as parts. You'll wind up with a case you can't sell and deal with half a dozen people. Just get it as a desktop, slap it on gumtree and ask for $500 and it'll probably sell, you get a 3070 for $1,300 which is fine in the current market.

            Granted, if you actually want the GPU for gaming, I'd wait for more stock of the 6700XT to drop for $900. Retail price of the 3070 is only meant to be $30 more than the 6700 XT, it's not a $600 better card.

            • AlgoTrading on 18/04/2021 - 16:13

              @freefall101: lol I assume this guy harvested 5 3070s for mining. Unfortunately I need the cuda cores for tensorflow…

        to build yourself with other parts, diff case etc. or as said be a scummy reseller

        • 811b11e8 on 22/04/2021 - 12:10

          Yep those techfast cases are on the nasty side probably how they keep the deals so ridiculously cheap.

          I have a nice Antec case for the partner that would get most parts and a Nice Fractal case with an existing Ryzen 9 3900x that would get the GPU.

          A 3070 would a massive jump up from my 1070.

          And the case would probably go in the bin with the AIO cooler.

      • Hornpub on 27/04/2021 - 17:01

        i would love that too, since i already have a pc, and i would like to build a new off this 2 pcs.

  • shabaka on 15/04/2021 - 16:14

  • bumluffa on 15/04/2021 - 16:16

    Hi Luke if we upgrade to the MAG case with 240mm AIO is it top or front mounted? And how is it mounted for the Lance V case? Which of the two cases is bigger?

    • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 15/04/2021 - 16:20

      Lance-V is front-mounted. Forge is generally top mounted using the AIO cooler's fans, with the case's fans staying as they are pre-installed at the front, but it also fits front-mounted.

  • devpress on 15/04/2021 - 16:36

    Another dumb question - do either MB's offered provide usb type-C ports? Couldn't find it on the intel specsheets. If it doesn't support then I assume I'm just limited to type-A ports?

    • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 15/04/2021 - 17:08

      Not a dumb question but not something I can guarantee. The B460 won't have it - some of the Z490s we get in have them but as we use a variety I can't guarantee it, so if you 100% need it it's a problem!

  • SuperMrBlob on 15/04/2021 - 16:45

    Huge stretch I imagine, but any hope of you selling just a "CPU plus GPU" package (e.g. 5600X/3080)? I already have RAM/Mobo/Case/PSU/Storage/Cooling so would just need those two.

    • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 15/04/2021 - 17:05

      We're more likely to do CPU + MB but GPU isn't something we have surplus of.

      • becool on 15/04/2021 - 17:22

        I'm interested of getting CPU MB and RAM combo so please let me know when you have a deal

  • furyou on 15/04/2021 - 17:05

    Dumb Q.
    How do they sell this for less than buying the bare parts
    CPU/GPU/RAM/Mobo separately?

    • freefall101 on 15/04/2021 - 17:51

      Business model really supports it by taking away choice. Rather than sell people whatever part they ask for, have a basic spec, get the number of orders then get the parts to fill that. There's little need to keep stock on hand too, just order what you need or pick up things really cheap when suppliers offer it on sale (suppliers do sales too). They might have a few hundred i5-10400F chips sitting around the warehouse, they don't keep to keep the entire range of all processes in stock. With GPUs the supplier prices are all over the place, they just need to wait until something comes through reasonably close to RRP (which for a 3060 is supposed to be $530)

      Also volume purchases. Most IT stores only hold a small volume of stock for each individual item, walk into a PC store and you'll rarely see more half a dozen of a single version of a case or PSU in stock. But Techfast has probably built their office out of Lance-V cases.

      No need for a retail store showing hundreds of parts, maintaining stock and inventory pages online, no providing customer support on what to buy (except answering Ozbargain questions on "why can't I get x board?"), it's all really streamlined. A lot like a mini-Dell, they aren't out chasing down all sorts of different cards and setups either.

    If buying the 3060 model, remember to upgrade the power supply.

    If you want to add drives now or in the future get the case upgrade. The Lance requires a fair amount of disassembly to add hard drives.

  • ytm on 17/04/2021 - 21:03

    I see that in your motherboard description that, "A second PCIE device (e.g. network card) will not fit. Brand/model may vary." Is this due to how much physical room the 3060/3070 occupy? Would a riser/extender overcome this limitation? I'm wanting to upgrade for VR and the wireless Vive needs a PCIE slot for the Wi-Gig card. What would be my options?

  • EdenL02 on 17/04/2021 - 21:26

    Pm'ed you, Luke, but I guess I have a better chance here for your response!

    You gave me a confirmation on the 3600-6700 post, that the order I placed about 6 hours before the deal expired, is valid as it was placed successfully.
    The status still shows up as "pending" although I had made the bank transfer with the order/invoice number as the reference immediately after placing the order. Would sending techfast an email with the proof of payment fasten the process of my order status going to the next stage from "pending"?
    Additionally, I wanted to know whether the 6700XT order updates you post on your newer deals are relevant to me or if I should just expect the dispatch to happen 14 business days from the date my order was placed.

    Thanks!
