12900KF-3080-MARCH

Hi all,

Following the request and response from yesterday's arsecrushing deal, we've created this i9 12900KF 3080 Gaming PC.

If it's not listed, it's not available as an option from us. As is our model this is a bang for buck type scenario and hope it ticks the boxes people are after. I've been more specific in the parts list because it's on hand / on order for this deal only (does not necessarily reflect specs of parts in other current deals where they're stated as brand/model may vary). A couple of new upgrade options too, also limited to this SKU for now.

Core i9 12900KF RTX 3080 10GB Gaming PC: $2888 after 12900KF-3080-MARCH

  • Intel Core i9 12900KF processor
  • RTX 3080 10GB LHR graphics card (Gainward Phoenix in use)
  • 240mm liquid cooler (likely Deepcool L240 v2 ARGB)
  • MSI MAG Tomahawk Z690 WiFi motherboard
  • 16GB XPG Spectrix D60G RGB 3600MHz RAM (2x8GB)
  • Crucial P2 1TB NVMe m.2 SSD (Gen 4 NVMe upgrade offered)
  • Gigabyte Aorus P850G power supply (this one)
  • Lance-V2 RGB ATX case (specs here; upgrades available)

Thanks to everyone for their input and interested to see how it goes. Times should be around the 5-7 business day mark for this build - as mentioned stock has been ordered today as per predicted demand from last night so a mixture of on-hand/on-order for this one.

Other Deals

i7 12700F RTX 3080 Gaming PC: $2588
ARSECRUSHER i5 11400F RTX 3070 Gaming PC: $1444
i5 11400F RTX 3060 Gaming PC: $1088
Ryzen 5 3500X RTX 3060 Ti Gaming PC: $1348

Build Updates: The remaining 5600X 3070 Ti and 3080s are underway as mentioned earlier in the week and majority will be finished this week, the remainder early next. They'll be prioritised until completed, then onto our 3060 Ti and 3060 builds at the same time.

Cheers
Luke

        Hard to say - we're still getting supply of the 10GB and for system builds the value isn't there for getting the 12GB version. If they replace the 10GB with the 12GB altogether, maybe then

      As for gaming? PFFFT! No PC Game Port socket so forget using anything like a Gravis Black Hawk Digital joystick for Microsoft Flight Simulator 98 with this machine.

    Hmm not quite the parts I had in my build when planning. Apart from the warranty I feel like this wasn't as great of a deal as what could be had back in afterpay sale. Specced it closer to what I could have bought and it does actually fair worse in price from here. Apologies but this actually isnt that cheap in my opinion.
    Even current prices from eBays current sale (Which is worse than last weekend) still fares cheaper than your deal with much better parts for the equivalent price

      I think it's already pretty good they can build it and ship it close to cost price when you're buying each individual item on sale.

      Might be just me, but if I'm asking for a PC to be custom built for me, I'd be expecting to pay more for it.

        Fair but the ones in my list are far better parts. I could save $150 almost immediately with the case but yhe one I listed is ranked one of the best for airflow.
        And that's only 1 component

    apart from the cooling, ram, ssd, power supply, and case this is a great deal!

    • here for deals on 24/03/2022 - 17:14

      Can you please address what's wrong with them?
      I am a newbie to PC building and would like to know.
      To my knowledge the power supply is 80+ gold and fully modular which is great. ram is 3600 and dual module which is great. What am I missing?
      Do you mean they are not great reviews-wise and not specs-wise?

      • abjsdhasehasee on 24/03/2022 - 17:23

        bad 240mm aio colling the best of the best hottest of the hottest cpu is not cutting it esp oced
        ram is 3600 c18, i mean its not bad, same as 3200 c16 with more bandwidth but just. not good really. (never is with a prebuilt).
        prebuilt pc ssd's are never good, and i mean never always some trash off the shelves left over for 5 years that they couldnt sell.
        turns out the psu is fine, decent quality actually. so nvm
        case is just some low quality trash although tbh the airflow looks better than my first glance so its not that bad tbh

        • here for deals on 24/03/2022 - 17:27

          That helps, thanks.
          I am still learning and don't know what c16 or c18 means. I'll add it to the list of things to know about.

            @here for deals: just dont. ram is an extremely long and confusing rabbit hole

            the 'c' is just cas latency
            3200 and 3600 and so on is just the MT/s (megatransfers/s) (everyone calls it MHZ even tho thats technically wrong and mhz is half so it would be 1600 and 1800 but nobody cares and mt/s is cringe., DDR - double data rate if thats a clue)

            more mhz = more bandwith because more data sent per second

            ram timings are in clock cycles, lower is better. so 3200 c14 is much better than 3200 c16.
            2000 * timing / ddr_freq <<<< formula for calculating ns

            truth is tho… ram is a scam. buying the best of the best ram, 4000c14 1.55v or a 3000 c15 bottom of the barrel kit wont lead to insane differences. unless your actually going to OC that ram then I always recommend some 3200 c16 ballistix kit for like $85.
            now ram oc is just even more complicated, if you want a sense of that… and you ever want to oc ram then
            https://github.com/integralfx/MemTestHelper/blob/oc-guide/DD…
            this is a good in depth guide. any guide other than this guide is a lie and a scam and wont do anything.

            all the timins within the ram are much more important than just high speed and low cas.
            https://imgur.com/a/zz2TKGO

            and theres quite a few ^ that link shows my setup and you can see like 20 different adjustable timings all that affect eachother. my setup is practically the best of the best you can get on ryzen until you start killing your ram with insane voltages.

            basically, dont buy ram other than a 3200 c16 kit unless your actually going to spend weeks overclocking it

            • here for deals on 25/03/2022 - 10:56

              @abjsdhasehasee: Legend!

              You sir. You are my OZ version of Tech Jesus. I am pretty sure you saved me weeks, if not months, of time researching about ram (and potentially overclocking ram).
              One less thing for me to worry about. Thank you so much for that.
              3200 c16. Got it. Noted.

              If I am not asking too much, can you please share the specs of your pc and/or suggest me a part-list so that I can have a benchmark/reference for my first pre-built purchase?
              Now, I cannot ask you to suggest something without telling you what I need. Here you go -
              * My monitor will either be a 1440p 27 inch flat screen or a 1440p curved ultra-wide. Haven't decided yet. All I know is I'll stick with 1440p for now.
              * Apparently, the difference between 3080ti and 3080 is only marginal. So, I'll settle for a 3080, I guess?
              * Don't know what to choose between i5 12600KF and i7 12700KF (should I choose K or KF? I think KF because I'll have a dedicated GPU, right?)
              * Maybe a 240 All-In-One?
              * RAM is going to be 3200 c16, like you already suggested. 16gb dual channel should do it.
              * I reckon PSU should be at least a 850W 80plus gold rating. Haven't given it much thought.
              * I am currently researching storage. NVME, PCIE, SSD and all that. All I know is SSD is superior to HDD and OS should be on SSD for faster boot speeds.
              * Don't know anything about motherboards yet. I'll look into it after storage.

              As you can see, I don't a latest and greatest PC. I am enjoying my learning experience of PC parts and PC gaming so far.
              Apologies for the huge wall of text. Thanks for your time.

                @here for deals: ive got a 5600x, b550-e gaming mobo <(ass), h150i rgb pro xt aio <(ass), GTX 970 (living its last breath), 2x8 4400c19 patriot vipers, lian li lancool ii mesh case (maxed out with p12 and p14's)

                1. I know nothing about monitors so..
                2. 3080ti and 3080 is like 5% im preety sure and considering how much cheaper a 3080 is just go for that defo
                3. K vs KF is just int graphics like u know, it really doesnt matter just go for whats cheaper, same price go for KF. cant decide your cpu for you but 12600kf sounds good.. 6 good cores 4 e cores, 12700kf with 2 more p cores sounds nice but honestly not needed especially for gaming, and especiallly when you have those 4e cores aswell. so id go 12600kf
                4. 240 aio would prob be ok but if you want 280 are very similar price and a bit better. depends on case tho <<
                5. 2x8 3200 c16 ballistix is good, can upgrade to 4x8 dual rank in future if needed
                6. this is a decent quality psu that wont explode from use https://www.scorptec.com.au/product/power-supplies/atx/82460… , not top of the top end but still very good.
                7. buy yourself and m.2 nvme ssd. kingston a2000 was on sale lately if thats on sale, otherwise sn750, 970 evo plus, crucial p5 are all good options, or you can go gen 4 with a sn850, 980 pro, or p5 plus for budget
                8. idk shit about intel motherboards so i cant help u there

                  @abjsdhasehasee: If K and KF are the same price, you should be going for K. The F means no iGPU. Not super critical if you have a dGPU but:

                  • iGPU means you can run without a dGPU. You won't be gaming like that, but it's helpful if, say, your video card fails.
                  • The iGPU can be enabled to offload some tasks from the dGPU. e.g. if you're streaming, it's helpful to be able to encode the stream on the iGPU (QSV is great) and leave the dGPU for the game only.

                  Typically the one with the iGPU will cost a bit more. I personally consider it worth the cost. But if they're the same price, obviously go for the one with more functionality!

      Warranty is nice because the Graphics card was DOA twice, next day service was good
      I'm selling mine, the SSD under the GPU is the only place you can add a PCIE
      They disconnect when the system overheats after a few hours even when they have a heatsink

      Operating System included: Microsoft Windows 10 Home Full 32/64-bit ($125.10 @ Amazon Australia)
      Better 2 Years limited RTB warranty - Up to 5 years manufacturer warranty on certain parts
      Extra 2TB HDD
      Part value is $500+ more
      Techfast has to do a lot better and include a premium system for premium price, not a good GPU and CPU only and the rest you have to upgrade

        I customised the deal on the TechFast page and made it similar to the Titan Tech deal (32gb ram, Windows activation, 2tb HDD, but didnt add any warranty)

            @[Deactivated]: That RAM not enough for that configuration. Atleast 4GB is required for dencent performance. Else it will be a swap hell. But that CPU could oc like hell.

      I got BPC Tech to match the Titan Tech deal with better components at the same price. PM me if you're interested and I can send you the details.

    • javawoo on 29/03/2022 - 23:14

      titan tech comes with warranty + spare hdd

      but case is better with this deal

    240 cooler seem inadequate to cool i9

    • locknuts on 24/03/2022 - 17:20

      Really? What would you use? Not being smart I'm genuinely curious.

      • abjsdhasehasee on 24/03/2022 - 17:24

        LF2 420mm aio with double sided p14 fans
        or
        LF2 360mm aio with double sided Phanteks T30's

        • locknuts on 24/03/2022 - 19:39

          Would you pay the $60 for the 360mm upgrade? It's probably the same cooler.

          • abjsdhasehasee on 24/03/2022 - 21:10

            @locknuts: hard to say really, $60 is preety steep but if i was planning on doing any oc at all then yes.

            although preffered to buy my own lf2 and maybe somehow sell it or use it in a different build

  • Big Lez on 24/03/2022 - 17:05

    • [Deactivated] on 24/03/2022 - 17:19

      you mean same price but lower i7 CPU?, why not…

  • kaikor on 24/03/2022 - 17:37

    How's TF shipping compare to BPC? They are def not using that shitty Aramex, right?

  • RobinDong on 24/03/2022 - 18:23

    What's the difference to this one https://techfast.com.au/products/AMD-Ryzen-5-5600X-RTX-3080-… ?

    I've seen a lot of people begging for a 12900KF deal, I wonder how many will actually commit to purchasing?

    • DJN on 24/03/2022 - 20:27

      I begged, then it came and I was not impressed enough.

      I messaged a few of the other sellers and they said something is coming soon and will be better than this.

        I reckon some sellers are waiting for a much bigger Easter sale coming next month, maybe we should keep HODL!

          It's become obvious they buy bulk shit. . and then make it look appealing in a pre-built .

    • mandelbrot on 24/03/2022 - 21:11

      With prices of GPUs dropping and these eBay sales, the value is no longer there with these pre builts.

  • wise-eyes on 27/03/2022 - 13:17

    @luketechfast - SSD price doesnt make sense. It's $179 extra to upgrade from 3.0 to 4.0 on the operating system drive but for extra storage its $179 for an entire 4.0 ssd anyway. Shouldn't it be like $50 to upgrade from 3.0 to 4.0 considering the 3.0 by itself for additional storage is $129.

    This is a good price especially with this mother board and a 850W PSU. No longer in stock?

  • Weshouldgetsushi on 10/04/2022 - 14:00

    @luketechfast have they resolved the issue with this Gigabyte power supply?
    There were reports of them overheating and burning.
    edit: Ooops sorry it was the 850GM PSU.
