          You'll notice a lot of this anti consumer type behavior in the comments. Your 10 neg votes are from scalpers/miners/snobby gamers/ people who feel contempt towards lower gpu prices. They trawl this site because they feel threatened it could crash the values of their current gpu/s. So they give bad advice, attempt to incite panic buying, upvote expensive deals and downvote anything they perceive as a threat to current values

        +1

        Watched the video, pretty brutal, gets beaten by the 12100F on a lot of benchmarks! But for a lot of prebuilt buyers, they will look at i3 vs R5 and decide the 5500 is the way to go (even though the upgrade potential of Alder Lake makes it an even bigger win!)

  • nollidge on 07/04/2022 - 16:16

    Would this make a decent office machine as well as very light gaming (GTA 5 etc) or is it overkill?

    • scottySK on 07/04/2022 - 16:45

      Overkill

      • orly on 07/04/2022 - 19:15
        +5

        Nothing wrong with going for overkill tho IMO. It's moderately priced for a entry gaming PC and will suit your needs for a few years to come

        • scottySK on 07/04/2022 - 19:23

          Yeah that's true. But if they just check the used market they may save $1000 and still have a PC that does what they want/need

          • snep on 07/04/2022 - 20:36
            +8

            @scottySK: To be fair the used market is still pretty average right now. Most drongos on gumtree still thinks that gpus are still worth more than a small car, and are trying to flog off their old mid-range PC for like $1000.

            I'm normally all for buying used but there's something to be said for just buying new and avoiding the hassle.

            Alternatively, building an even lower end PC would be even cheaper and would still be fine for office use/light gaming.

            • scottySK on 08/04/2022 - 06:05

              @snep: The low end is still fine. I saw an i3 8100 PC with 16gb ram, 256gb SSD with a solid PSU in a nice tg case for $200. Just add in a $50 750ti or similar and it would be perfect for office/light gaming. I recommended this to my friend who is in the same boat but they decided on a laptop instead (poor choice honestly).

              Any mid-high end PCs in the used market are still overpriced

              • snep on 08/04/2022 - 08:50

                @scottySK: That does sound like a good price.

                I had a quick check in my area last night and found nothing close to that, people were asking $1000 for an amd 1200 + 1060 system for example. Maybe people still call that "mid range".

                I guess there are still deals to be had if you're prepared to spend some time watching new listings for a while or live in a busy area.

                Maybe I'm a bit biased since I've had a few annoying experiences on gumtree which ended up wasting hours of my life and effectively negating any savings. I tend towards either eBay or new these days, much less effort.

                • scottySK on 08/04/2022 - 16:31

                  @snep: I would have been amongst the first ever users of Gumtree and am sad to see it fall behind the likes of Facebook marketplace.

                  Buying and selling used products locally has always been an interest of mine across all my hobbies, particularly tech. Less so the last few years due to the messed up new/used market.

                  I'm sure local buying/selling can be annoying, but it can also be amazing

    • FartboxAU on 07/04/2022 - 16:28

      Not really,
      The BPCTech build includes a 1TB NVMe while this does not.

      Although,
      I would choose the Case Techfast are using over the BPCTech Case.
      Its not mentioned how many case fans BPCTech includes in the build so it probably only includes the rear fan.
      BPCTech also use Aramex for their shipping - I could write a long story about how bad they are but a 1 word summary - Terrible

      • [Deactivated] on 07/04/2022 - 18:04

        They offer AusPost shipping also as an option on some builds

      • FartboxAU on 09/04/2022 - 12:28

        Also forgot to state that the Techfast CPU is a AMD 5500.
        If you do some research you'll find that the 5500 chip should not have even been released.
        It is so inferior for the price AMD are asking. The 12100F(even non-F) is slightly better performance & its cheaper.

    • kaikor on 07/04/2022 - 17:45

  • victinini on 07/04/2022 - 16:26

    If I am buying this as a gift for someone overseas, is it possible for me to order it to arrive unbuilt and claim TRS refund on departure?

    • orly on 07/04/2022 - 19:17

      What difference would that make? You're still meant to be carrying the PC case and all the components by hand anyway if you're claiming GST

      • victinini on 07/04/2022 - 20:08

        It appears that oversized goods can be processed for the TRS by allowing an officer to sight the product and stamp your invoice before checking in the item. Does this mean then that I should have it prebuilt and check it in as oversized? Or carry as much as I can and put the case in checked luggage? I'm worried about damage mostly.

        https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/154172

        • orly on 08/04/2022 - 02:59

          You'd be wise to not claim it. I suspect you would be grilled to a crisp by the officers there who are processing the GST and even if they allowed you to claim it, you are risking it getting manhandled by the baggage handlers and damaging it beyond use. Remember that you have to declare it if you're bringing it back in and repay GST, and if you don't, something that bulky is going to be noticed by the customs officers who can easily check the system to see if you claimed it on the way out. All of that for $117? Really bruh.

          • orly on 08/04/2022 - 03:09

            @orly: If you're really buying it for someone overseas and leaving it there, then yep you can technically claim GST and check it in before going to the airline counter. But the risk of damaging the CPU is still present.

            • victinini on 08/04/2022 - 22:06

              @orly: As I said, I’m buying it for a family member overseas. That’s why I preferred the parts to come in their separate boxes so that I can pack them nice and tight in my suitcase. I hope that I can still do the TRS before checking in my luggage even though technically the items would not be oversized if they came separately.

    In case people are wondering, yes this will net you more framerate than every 3070/ti and most 3080/ti laptops out there.

    Desktops are just that better than laptops, that as a gaming laptop owner I would not recommend anyone in their right mind to go for a laptop over a desktop, as long as they dont need it for portability purposes.

    • TimR31 on 08/04/2022 - 00:19

      Yes that means 60fps max, and no the 3060Ti doesn't run most modern games at 4K/60.

      Have a look at this video to get a sense of whether the games you're targeting might:
      https://youtu.be/pnZRuY-jFVM

      If the games support DLSS that will also give you an fps bump for a small sacrifice in visual quality.

    WOW! TF is just so amazing !!! I received this build today, from the time they pickup my order, built, shipped & delivered only 4 working days all the way from Adelaide to Sydney, thumbs up too to Auspost for their super speedy delivery time frame.

    The only option I ticked is the Gigabyte mobo but when I received it, TF so kind and give me a WIFI version !!! Saved me another $45 for a PCIe card, already bought one on my way home, hence need to take it back for refund.

    THANKS SO MUCH TF and especially Luke, please keep these good deals coming !!!
