Couldn't find a spec sheet but these are off Acers.au website.
https://online.acer.com.au/acer/store/gaming/gaming-desktop/…

Operating System Windows 10 Home
CPU:Intel Core i7-10700 (8-Core, 16M Cache, base 2.9GHz) Processor
Memory 1: 16GB DDR4 (2 x 8GB)
Storage: 512GB SSD + 1TB HDD
Optical Drive No
Card Reader No
Graphics NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX 3070 with 8GB of GDDR6
Wireless Connectivity Intel AX201.NGWG.NV 802.11ax/ac/a/b/g/n Wi-Fi 6w/BT5.0

Power Supply 500 W single-rail 12 V PFC (EuP), auto-sensing, 80PLUS Gold

You also get a keyboard/mouse and Intel Gaming Bundle redemption thing.

Seems like a pretty decent setup with the 3070 prices the way there are, keep in mind that the motherboard Is and possibly the power supply are proprietary.
If you are thinking of buying use Harvey Norman gift cards bought from shopback for 5% discount bringing the price to $2279.05

Pcpartpicker estimate of price ($2644.86) from lowest price parts + overpriced 3070

    The card sort of looks like the founders edition in the video

      That is DEFINITELY not the founder's edition.

      But honestly? I see it. The cooler design as seen from the top is definitely reminiscent. It's just the side profile that is not.

  Nice price, I found this last week, but ended up to buy an alienware R12 at slightly higher price.

  • 

    Alaken on 25/04/2021 - 11:27

    Could you provide the link for the R12?

• 

  scuderiarmani on 25/04/2021 - 08:40

  It's probably fine, but I do think 500w is skimping a bit.

• 

  9674784 on 25/04/2021 - 08:57

  The case seems small and like it'll get hot, especially with the GPU almost touching the power supply.

  Specs for the price though, are good.

  • 

    Homr on 25/04/2021 - 09:07

    lol wow? that's small to you?

    • 

      9674784 on 25/04/2021 - 09:17

      I'm no expert but always read in guides for building that you should have as much distance between the graphics card and power supply as possible, no?

      • 

        Homr on 25/04/2021 - 09:23

        yes thats true but the case as a whole looks very big to me. I'm a big fan of SFF cases due to more space efficient

  It’s unfortunate that Companies are using PSUs that are not up to Nvidia’s minimum recommendations. Are these 3070 cards a lower spec?

  • 

    LoungeLizard on 25/04/2021 - 09:14

    Keep in mind Nvidia's recommendation is for absolute worst case. Since the 3070 draws max 220W and the CPU another 200W, it should be fine (just)

    • 

      Pelicannn on 25/04/2021 - 09:31

      That’s true. Plus this isn’t exactly OC’able to any real degree.

  In the current market, this is pricing the GPU and labour at around $1600.

  Avoid, as prices have already improved, and will continue to improve due to more mining nerfed GPUs (moving casual miners to the used market), crypto corrections, and mining demand for GPUs to drop even faster than this as ETH ASICs appear again.

      Antminer just announced a usable ASIC, as good as 32x 3080, likely for under $20,000. Not sure why that's not relevant to current situation, unless you're playing for internet points.

      NVIDIA also appear to be planning to reissue their entire line-up with new SKUs that come with an ETH reduction similar to the 3060, and they'll even be reissuing the 3060 for this purpose.

      Oh and Crypto just dived 20% in like 2 weeks because the ultra-rich and institutional investors discovered that their scamming of everyday people into thinking this stuff is trustworthy as a commodity might see them cop capital gains taxes.

      2008 just called for you, they wanted to know if your memory is that short, or if your Bitcoin options are.

        Honestly i'm waiting to see if the 3070ti and 3080ti rumored release in the next 2 months do anything to help with prices

        • 

          jasswolf on 25/04/2021 - 15:04

          @Vegge: They won't as the 3080Ti looks like it will be $999 USD pre-tax, but fingers crossed it's closer to $800.

          The real change comes with the new SKUs for the already released models, complete with ETH limiter.

• 

  alphalpha on 25/04/2021 - 10:57

  theres also a 3060Ti version for couple of hundred less (less storage also) $2159

  Is this bet better than the dell xps 8940

  • 

    Vegge on 25/04/2021 - 14:08

    Personally I think this is better, Case airlow,3070,keyboard+mouse,gaming bundle, slightly better resell value.

    Dell will have better warranty, probably better psu

    I think there will be better deals on premade's so if you can wait I'd do it.
