        • DeToxin on 16/06/2021 - 14:56

          Retro spec sheet that actually works.
          If you're going to offer an alternative please at least make sure it's a viable option.

          • randomusername2017 on 16/06/2021 - 17:07

            @DeToxin: ddr3 was obviously meant to be ddr4..

            Why is it nor a viable option?

            • DeToxin on 16/06/2021 - 17:10

              @randomusername2017: No motherboard, all prices are just plucked out of thin air.

              • randomusername2017 on 16/06/2021 - 17:15

                @DeToxin: I3 retails around $110.. quite often available in bundles for around $200
                Rest of the "refurbished" pricing is readily available on gumtree, FB marketplace and eBay on occasion

      I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure there's something that those parts are all meant to be plug into, some kind of board, like the mother of all boards in the computer…

      Well that's what the motherboard takes, so …yes?

      I agree with some above that it's not that bad. Especially considering they have a warranty attached and is cheaper than most Facebook builds for same specs.

      I'd personally never buy it, but it's good for a first PC in this shithole tech climate.

          Sure if you completely ignore the current market, which they can't do because they're y'know..a business.

    In the current situation, an i7-4790 on it's own can auction for $98 + postage on ebay. (source: my observation tonight and Friday night). Not to mention an i7-4790K for $234 or so a couple of days ago.
    8 GB DDR3 RAM for $45???!!!
    Sh*t motherboard for $85 or more???!!!
    GPUs are eye-watering prices now.
    This stuff is 6+ years old and these are actual auction results, I dropped out way before these prices. Can't be that much crypto mining going on in Australia, surely.
    Guess it's part of the current asset bubble, including old PC parts. Makes this deal look good.

  • Cynicaloflife on 15/06/2021 - 20:13

    GPU prices are so expensive. Glad I got in before the hike.
    Managed to get my PC set up under $450. Got an i5 6600 SFF for $200 new. Bought a 1650 LP for $230 new and another new 8gb DDR4 ram for $16. Manages to beat this PC in value.

  • randomusername2017 on 15/06/2021 - 20:25

    • Ryugen on 15/06/2021 - 20:41
      +1

      Might struggle for higher end VR games. Reason for that is because for VR you really need that rock solid steady fps. Any FPS variation makes people sick very quickly.

      • Joker042 on 15/06/2021 - 20:59

        Also pretty demanding resolution of 1832 x 1920 x 2 eyes.

    • ItsMeAgro on 15/06/2021 - 22:46

      I wouldn't, I think. It WOULD actually be OK for most PC VR games, but…

      It wouldn't be able to max settings in the more demanding ones, the framerate needs to be very high for the sense of presence (75 - 90 FPS minimum, especially if you are sensitive to the nausea), and these older CPUs are prone to microstutter. If you decide you need a new CPU and GPU to play the games you want, you've wasted almost the whole $500.

  • noodlefan on 15/06/2021 - 20:41

    Not a IT pro, feel this is a good deal, all I need is connect to monitor then I can play WoW if I understand right.

    • Ryugen on 15/06/2021 - 20:46

      Might….need a keyboard and mouse. Some audio gear would make the immersion better but not required. Oh, an a internet connection + an active WoW subscription but then! Then you're good to go. /s

      Haha, yeah this PC would be plenty to run WoW. If you install a crapton of addons tho, it could potentially start chugging.

      • noodlefan on 15/06/2021 - 21:41

    This is a great price. I recently built something similar - i5 4570, 16Gb DDR3, GTX 1060 3Gb, SSD, mystery Chinese 1150 mainboard from Aliexpress and it is surprisingly gutsy with everything we throw at it. X-Plane, FS, Assetto Corsa, Forza etc. all at great frame rates (50+) at 2K with settings wound up satisfyingly. Very impressed!

    • McOzbargainer on 16/06/2021 - 14:53

      X-Plane is awesome, runs great on my 15" MacBook Pro and my PC with GTX 760 4Gb.

      • MiscOzB on 17/06/2021 - 05:18

        I was wondering if he sourced them from that deal, hence the "just curious". But yeah that would've been a good deal to stock up from for these builds. Anyway, seems that OP doesn't want to say.

  • DKZ370 on 15/06/2021 - 23:14

    IT gurus, what's the better option?

    The GTX strix 970 4gb or GTX 1060 3GB.

    I've had a look around on Google and it seems the 1060 has the edge?

    • Gojkins on 16/06/2021 - 00:57
      +7

      970 only has 3.5gb of reliable vram, so not much difference there. A 3gb of vram is not ideal for gaming in 2021, but if the use case is primarily 1080p esports titles it should do the trick. I'd recommend the 1060 over the 970.

    Sad to see the desperation here. Imagine this deal being posted 2 years ago.

  • UNFKNBLVBL on 16/06/2021 - 08:36
    +2

    Out of interest what is the process of your refurb for each product? Or should it just say second hand?
    If I bought a 1060 GTX machine and it was DOA do you have stock to replace it or would you be trying to give me a 970 instead?

    I buy and sell PC parts all the time but I would just call the parts second hand, to me refurb implies vigorous testing by the manufacturer or approved partner
    CPU visually check pads (I only ever really deal with intel), put into a known working mobo and make sure all RAM channels are working and usually stress test to make sure clocks are as expected
    GPU I just clean, sometimes replace thermal paste and then stress test for 30 mins and make sure it doesn't crash
    Motherboard very hard to verify if everything is working properly, too much to check, usually just boot to BIOS with known working CPU and update BIOS, make sure all RAM slots and PCI slots work.
    RAM, pretty much indestructible, just make sure a PC boots with it installed correctly

  • lito on 16/06/2021 - 09:06

    Besides playing games, would this be able do any mining at a profit (doesn’t have to be ETH) ? Assuming electricity cost is normal rate at approx 25c kw/h ?

    • bazingaa on 16/06/2021 - 09:35

    like my pc, I game and work on a i5-2400, 16GB, GTX1060 3GB. I got the GPU delivered for $140 in late 2019. $100 for Silverstone SFX PSU and $105 for base ACER S6610 PC with Win10 activated. I can game well at 1080p. Recently got game pass for $1 for 3 months and will try some new games.
