          its only $500 difference, and we know that 0 has no value
          so we remove 2 of the Zeros, we're left with just 5.

      Gut feel is refurbs for $700 isn't right, but honestly, in today's market, I'm not too sure! $/FLOP is obviously going to be poor, but if you literally need to save every penny possible, but still need a half-capable computer (graphic design student without the parent safety net maybe?), this could be a solid option.

      The 12mo warranty is good too - would have expected 3mo.

      Pop the top off the Dell case, buy a ten dollar PCIe extender cable and you can run any full sized GPU as long as it doesn't require the power supply and don't mind an ugly mess of a gaming rig.
      On the plus side find a second hand 750 GTX for fifty bucks and you're up and running for $250.

            @freefall101: If you can get an xsx, and the sff pc at $180, and you want two devices, and you want to pay ~$200 more, and you don't need to do anything graphically intensive, and you want to play console games.

              @incipient: Console games doesn't make much difference anymore, buy the xbox game pass and play the same games. And what "graphically intensive" things does the average user do that's not gaming?

              But if you have to have a single device, spend your days needing GPU acceleration for rendering, can stand playing 5 year old games at 1080p, are happy to pay for an extra hard drive,, can't wait until computers are a half reasonable price, don't keep an eye out for cheap gaming rigs on gumtree, don't want to spend a couple of hundred more on a GPU that can mine and just make your cash back that way, don't have room for two devices (even though a sff and an xbox probably takes up less space)… then yes, this is the perfect system for that human and I hope they enjoy this deal.

              For everyone else, buy an xbox and a sff machine.

    There are really no pre-built options at this sort of price point at the moment. Appreciate the innovation, even if it wouldn't be my choice (if willing to do more work, used 4gb rx580 are a better choice and building a PC isn't too hard)

    • incipient on 14/05/2021 - 19:13
      +2

      The 580 is about $400 on ebay by the looks of it? and fairly comparable to a 1060, but it is a year newer. Feels like a bit of a side-grade. I'd personally take the 1 year warranty if it's a choice between "MYO 580 build" vs "prebuilt 1060+warranty".

      https://www.notebookcheck.net/Radeon-RX-580-vs-GeForce-GTX-1…

      • daffyd on 14/05/2021 - 19:30

        Wow, I'm a week out of date on pricing, the 4gb were 300ish or less very recently!

        The 1060 3gb is a slower card than the 6gb, even ignoring the ram, where for the rx580 the only difference is ram. I had the 580 until very recently and for 1080p gaming it was still solid (although probably not for cyberpunk).

        This deal is credible given the alternatives. But there aren't any great options for buyers of lower-end gaming PCs today. Maybe we'll see rtx3050 or amd 6600 soon but it seems supply will still be constrained.

    • incipient on 14/05/2021 - 19:07
      +4

      $200 for the SFF PC, and you're limited to a low profile 1050Ti for the GPU, which is $385 new, so…$250ish 2nd hand? $450 for a bit of DIY with a noticeably slower GPU and <12mo warranty. Yep, maybe worth it, maybe not - a different option really.

        My original comment also included that the PC didn't specify which parts were refurbs or which parts were. The OP obviously read my comment and updated theirs. I mean the 1060gb 3gb variant is 15% slower than the 1060 6Gb version and this only comes with 8gb ram their isn't any upgrade path in the future since you would get bottlenecked with the high end cards. This PC is for the really desperate.

          For sure, only if you really need a computer, and are on a serious budget! Brand new parts with a cheap gpu would be a better option if you had the money. The GPU shortage I'm hoping clears up when eth goes proof of stake (early next year).

  • BillyZ93 on 14/05/2021 - 19:27
    +7

    The CPU is 7 generations/years old. DDR3? meh, also seems pricey for refurbed RAM when you mess with the 8/16/32 options. PSU seems appropriate. Anything that matters is refurbed. I get the hard times argument, but $699 for a computer that's lived past it's obsolescence is too much.

    ALSO, $140 price jump from 240Gb to the 1Tb refurbed SSD, why not just buy a brand new one for less than the price jump from a trusted brand ( like https://www.mwave.com.au/product/crucial-mx500-1tb-25-3d-nan… )?

    • incipient on 14/05/2021 - 19:55

      What? The ssd is new, not a refurb. Gigabyte is fine as a brand, at least some of their SSDs are.

      lived past it's obsolescence

      It's a perfectly solid 1080p gaming pc. Nothing obsolete about that! The low end section has been completely abandoned recently due to the chip shortage.

      If you're negging this. Show something better. While refurb does make it hard to compare, the 12mo warranty really sweetens it up!

      • BillyZ93 on 14/05/2021 - 20:06

        Sorry, I did indeed think it was refurb. The math still isn't their in favor of FuzeTechAu for the price jump.

        It's cheaper to get the default 240Gb drive from FuzeTechAu then (not than) buy the Gigabyte 1Tb drive from umart for 129+7 shipping (https://www.umart.com.au/Gigabyte-1TB-2-5in-SATA-SSD-GP-GSTF…) than it is to just buy the 1Tb drive…

        You will also then have more storage for less if you wanted the 1Tb SSD in the first place.

        Is that "Something better".?

        • incipient on 14/05/2021 - 20:11

            To answer your first question, yes I am (plus the other reasons I've given), this is OzBargain. Particularly because it's cheaper to do it the way I mentioned if you want the 1Tb.

            No it is not a solid base offer, It is sub par.

The spelling error is also quite bad considering Tb is accurate unit. So if I buy the 1000Gb drive are they going to give me a drive that is 125GB drive as described?

                I would argue i did mention it was cheaper elsewhere when i said it was cheaper to get the 240GB default and a separate 1TB drive of the same brand (and probably model) than it was to choose the 1Tb option from FuseTechAu.

                Let a mod decide, if my neg is not justified then so be it, dems the rules.

    Its a fair call to get some refurb parts to lower down the cost
    But a i5 4590 is just too old
    From Intel website its a 7 years old CPU (4 cores 4 threads)

    Even when building a gaming PC
    performance is not purely relies on GPU (Graphic card)
    CPU, Ram and Harddrive speed does matter

    For example, while the spec doesn't show which SSD model it provides
    it is quite likely that it will not be a NVMe M.2 SSD (which read/write speed are at least 3 times faster than SATA SSD)

      I was using the first generation Intel i7 920 until early last year and it ran W10 fine, with 60fps on a few games on high settings using GTX1060, including the supposedly laggy Nier Automata.
      DOOM2016 with high settings was getting 40-60FPS.

      Had youtube on second monitor and other apps running at same time. The CPU is fine. You just wont be able to open 100+browser tabs and expect fast loading, or have 1-games running + youtube vs 2-games + 4 videos open or whatever your use might be.

      CPU impact on gaming is VERY low, unless you're frequently dying and the game engine has to reload a lot.

      • littlesoldier on 15/05/2021 - 08:58

        Not true, it depends on what game you are playing
        Both CPU and GPU plays their role when running any programs (including games)
        Some games requires on CPU processing power which can be a bottleneck even you have a decent Graphic card

Both were, sadly, around 40-50FPS max on high settings but it still ran fine with JUST browser the background BUT the CPU was running 100% on all cores and got very hot.

          I could still play the games but I didn't like how the GPU was getting bottle necked by a maxed out CPU, and that some scenes with explosions were dropping FPS to 15-30. This was the breaking point for the i7 920 and made me upgrade the whole system.

          I can imagine the i5-4590 will do a lot better. I don't know if there are other games which were CPU intensive, but I think these are good examples as mainstream games.

    $700 + delivery for a 7 year old quad core and 3GB 1060? This is far from a bargain.

      You kinda expect with prebuilts it's whatever the go-to cheap one is at the time though

      I wonder if 1tb is crucial or Crucial, if you get my drift.

    This is not the best bang for the buck, but it's the best you can do for $700 in May 2021.

    Add an option for an aftermarket cooler, many will appreciate it

    Is this GPU good enough for crypto mining?

      Nah, you have to install custom os to do that as it has only 3gb vram or you can do it some minor coins but its efficiency is very poor.

    I know the market is bad but I built a better PC than this 4 years ago for slightly less…. Paid just under $800 for 1060 6gb i5 4670 650w and a coolermaster cpu cooler.

    That is essentially a zombie refurb PC with an old GPU.

    A 9010 for $200 and a low profile GPU would be a better and MUCH cheaper option.

      $200 for the sff pc, $250+ (second hand) for the 1050 ti low profile, and it performs noticeably worse than the 1060, and you have to do it yourself, and 3mo/no warranty. It's honestly a toss up.
