    Would recommend to upgrade the RAM to 3200 and the motherboard to B560. 11400f uses 125w max with AVX512 on. Asrock H510's VRM will be power throttling in this case. I would personally use something like MSI B560M mortar.

    • seamonkey on 22/03/2022 - 17:06

      Was about to take your excellent advice @BennyHe2018 then got a little confused about what I was looking at in these last 2 options. Aren't they saying the same as each other but for a different price though?

      I doubt anyone is buying this machine for avx512 workloads haha. Your point still stands in that it might not turbo as high on this board under regular loads, but for gaming I wonder if that's moot anyway considering the 3060.

      I'd imagine the stock cooler would throttle at higher boost clocks anyway, so you'd need to upgrade that as well for the full benefit.

      For $19 I would agree with the ram upgrade though.

      • BennyHe2018 on 22/03/2022 - 17:47
        +1

        AVX512 is not useful for average user so most users should switch it off if BIOS allows. I was using 11400 before so it definitely needs a 4 heat pipe tower cooler like Deepcool Gammax 400.

    Hi Luke, are you going to do a 3070 build anytime soon?

    • [Deactivated] on 22/03/2022 - 15:47

      You are better off with their 3070Ti as whilst it isn't that much better, it has GDDR6X VRAM with more bandwidth than the 3070. This will mean better stable frame rates but more importantly, better content creation.

          If you know Dominica from MAFS, she uses a 3070Ti for her only fans page. I personally have never seen it, a friend Googled it for Olivia and she told me.

        I thought all 30 series cards had GDDR6X VRAM don't they? Or is it only 3070 Ti and above?

        • [Deactivated] on 23/03/2022 - 13:09

          Only 3070Ti and up, 3070 and lower is only GDDR6 with lower bandwidth.

    Just curious why did you pair a 3500x with a 3060ti? I felt like the 3500x is a bit underpowered in this setup no? Good deal nonetheless

    • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 22/03/2022 - 16:22

      Zen 3 AMD 6 core CPUs are a little harder to come by at the moment with some new models just around the corner. 3500X is on hand and a decent pairing for 1080P into 1440P on a lot of titles.

      • Brrrrt on 22/03/2022 - 23:42

        I would get at least a 3600 or a 10400/f

        Hyperthreading goes a long way for a better experience, you likely wont see much fps improvement just playing a game, but if you ever wanted to play games with discord on and chrome with music playing in the background, you will get major fps drops with the 3500x.

    Hope this isn't a silly question - son wants to get a basic PC to run his Oculus Quest 2. Looks like the graphics card on this PC is supported (https://support.oculus.com/articles/headsets-and-accessories…) but it doesn't have a USB-3 which is required. Anyone know how to solve? What am i missing here? Thanks!

    • scrimshaw on 22/03/2022 - 16:19
      +3

      USB 3 is a standard port on modern computers. The USB port is found on the motherboard, not the graphics card.

      The Oculus Quest 2 does not need a USB connection either, the headset has Wifi 6 and can stream gameplay from the PC, you just need to make sure your PC has a fast Local network connection. Preferably gigabit.

      • sydmarc on 22/03/2022 - 16:24

        Thank you! Does that mean via a wifi connection the graphics card is not important? or i still need to ensure compatibility.

        • Dvbargain on 22/03/2022 - 16:26

          Quest 2 can run games natively too with no PC at all, but if you want to use the PC power then the graphics card is important, even over WiFi.

        • scrimshaw on 22/03/2022 - 16:26
          +1

          If your computer is not connected to your router via a network cable, then you're going to want to make sure your desktop has a good, high end Wireless NIC (network card).

          The GPU is still doing the work of actually running the game, but your PC still takes the footage of the gameplay and streams it over your local network to your headset. It's basically high bitrate video streaming — both your GPU, CPU and Wifi networking hardware needs to be high end to handle it. The PC that's being sold here doesn't include Wifi, so you'll need to add it in yourself or run ethernet cabling to your router.

          Note that the Oculus can run Oculus-exclusive games without needing to be connected to a PC. You only need a PC if you want to run Steam VR games.

          • ryf on 22/03/2022 - 19:35

            @scrimshaw: I run my pc to my basic Xiaomi (WiFi 5 I think) router with a network cable and it works well when connected to airlink. I used to use virtual desktop but the free service that Oculus provides is free. You also get the added benefit of cross play titles loading on desktop that generally increase quality, along with steam VR cheap deals

    • esq on 22/03/2022 - 16:57

      Simple answer is yes this would do it, my cousin has a very similar build and plays heaps of VR. This is a pretty decent price for what you get, just understand it's still basic.

        • pe arl on 22/03/2022 - 18:02

          Could you please elaborate on the BPC $1,199 build being better value? My knowledge is very limited but I thought since this TechFast build has a newer 11400F processor, 50 more watts on the PSU, and a nicer-looking case, it might be a better deal and you can upgrade to a 1TB SSD with the $110 you save? But correct me if I'm wrong as I know very little about these things…

          • jsediv on 22/03/2022 - 18:12
            +5

            @pe arl: The BPC build has a 80+ Gold PSU over the one included in the TechFast build (unknown)
            The MOBO on the BPC build supports 3200Mhz ram which is included
            Also comes with a larger and faster SSD drive

            Both are good value but i'd personally opt for the BPC build for the better PSU and MOBO/RAM support.

            Techfast build if the budget is tight :)

  • Trishool on 22/03/2022 - 17:52

    Is this deal good for 4K video editing?

    • [Deactivated] on 22/03/2022 - 17:55
      +1

      Not really no. You want 32GB RAM for 4K and maybe a 3060Ti.
      You will need a better CPU and GPU overall and also RAM upgrade. What video edit suite do you use?

      • Trishool on 23/03/2022 - 10:47

        Ok thanks. Its for my kid who wants to do some video editing once I get him a computer that can actually do it!

        • [Deactivated] on 23/03/2022 - 10:53
          +2

          OK this could get expensive for you, you need to know which edit software you want, I would advise against Adobe as it is subscription, even at student level it expensive, but I think your kid could get it for free through school.
          They will still be able to edit in 4K with this system, just not as a power user if this makes any sense?
          So instead of throwing a ton of money at a PC only to find out later your kid lost interest, you could start off smaller with the intention of upgradiing if this makes sense?
          16GB RAM should be ok for 1080P, 4K it could struggle, but you can always upgrade RAM.
          This system would still be a really good edit PC for your kid.

  • pufffdragon on 22/03/2022 - 17:55

    I don't do gaming, but need something for editing using davinci resolve and Photoshop mostly. I know davinci is pretty hungry for ram and the GPU.
    Any thoughts?

    • [Deactivated] on 22/03/2022 - 18:06
      +3

      Read above, Davinci Pro uses the GPU for most usage, CPU can be used but the software is optimised for CUDA cores, the more the better.
      I know how hard it is to edit with a 980Ti only to have flipped over to a 3070Ti and the difference is night and day.
      I could barely view my time line without having to adjust settings, so much so that everything was in as low res possible and needed a RAM disk to auto render.
      I have none of that now and can scratch through footage with no issue. Editing is more precise too, I have done a ton of edits in last 6 months, getting the 3070Ti was a god send.
      Fwiw I have 64 GB RAM and 3700x, 3700x barely gets used as most is offloaded to the GPU. The reason for the 70Ti was that GDDR6X VRAM, might not mean much to gamers but the extra bandwidth comes into play for editing or rendering.
      There is not much info on 3070Ti in puget but the 3060Ti is highly recommended.
      If you have a small budget, 3600X and 3060Ti is the minimum I would look at, also 32GB RAM is essential for 4K.

        Thanks for the informative feedback. Cheers!

    • [Deactivated] on 22/03/2022 - 18:39

      I will add after researching some more, the 11400F is more than enough for Davinci, it's cheaper than a 3600X so you can save some money, but for 4K editing you need 32GB RAM. A 3060 would be fine too but you would get better performance from a 3600Ti.
      It does not mean you wont have a good edit machine, far from, just that it depends what you intend on editing.

    • [Deactivated] on 22/03/2022 - 18:09

      I would not compare, I have a SX and my Samsung Q60R which is freesync compatible, works brilliantly with my SX, VVR and ALLM with 120HZ @ 1440P. I get zero tearing, my 3070Ti is a different matter, you cannot get freesync to work with HDMI, only DP which is a pita.
      Also the PS5 has those controllers that PC does not, either way you need to consider what you want either for: Pros and cons.

          Yes BUT this will only work with a Gsync compatible monitor, to be able to use a Freesync monitor you need to be able to use DP, HDMI does not allow nVidia Freesync to function which is a bummer.

    Thanks, got one for a family member.

    • quanticism on 05/04/2022 - 09:46

      Got it yesterday. Was disappointed that the case can only hold either one 2.5" SSD or one 3.5" HDD. Adding more storage would require using an NVMe drive, zip tying a 2.5" SSD somewhere (not sure if feasible, don't remember any mount points), or using external storage. Also realized that the opinion on Allied PSUs was very low.

      I ended up swapping all the components except the PSU into our old computer case that we were already using. In retrospect, I should have just purchased the parts and built it myself. The case and PSU are mostly useless, the 3060 recently dropped to $520 and I ended up having to reassemble the system myself anyway. That said, I can see why this is still a decent deal for people who don't want to fiddle and hope for the best from their PSU.

      • kaikor on 05/04/2022 - 10:11

        So how long this takes to arrive since you bought it? And that Allied PSU is just sh|t quality you think?

        • quanticism on 05/04/2022 - 10:31

          Took about 2 weeks for it to arrive.

          As for the PSU, there's not much information about Allied PSU (nor their Leaper Maverick case) since I assume it's a brand associated with/are exclusive to Techfast. I googled for reviews on their PSU and mainly saw negative sentiment. Apparently a reviewer called JohnnyGuru tested a 500W one and it blew up. Also mention of it failing in this post.

          Maybe it'll be fine as long as you don't push the PSU too far but since I had a spare 650W Antec EarthWatts Gold PSU, I decided to use that and avoid any potential risks altogether.
