I have supplemented some parts for similar items to get a decent match to price. Adding Mouse, probably around $900 in parts, not including labour.

There are a couple of upgrades available. I'd probably drop in the 500gb SSD for $49 or 1tb SSD for $99 just for the extra space and have Windows pre-installed and find a cheap key. Wifi sounds alright for $39 as well.

This is part of Black Friday / Cyber Monday deals for 2022

      Here, have an upvote. You probably struck a nerve from those who genuinely wanted to ask the question. 😅

    Rather choose 10100f + 6600 combination

    10100f: 4 core but similar single core speed
    (10400f: 6 core)
    6600: 30% better performance on 3d (by videobenchmark)

    Lowerst price in ozbargain:
    10400f: $183
    6500 xt: $199

    10100f: $99

    Any chance of getting a deal for a RTX 3070 gaming PC under $1200 by the end of the year?

    • +2

      Maybe wait a post from luketechfast?

      • There's been no replies to this or similar questions in the past few posts.

        • That is true, I've always seen questions about a 3070 on his posts.

  • Looking at buying a gaming pc for Christmas for my kid. I have been looking for a good deal. I have been requested rtx3070 16gb. Is this far off what I’m looking at, I’m not up with the video cards.

    • +8

      this is very far off, sorry to say.

    • +14

      The 3070 sells for about as much as this entire pc :P

    • +1

      The 6500xt would stand no chance against a 3070. Benchmarks isn't the best place to compare, but basics, the 3070 smashes the 6500xt
      https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-RTX-3070-vs-AMD…

      I might suggest something like this. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/740189
      It's a step down video card wise (from the 3070), but the 3060ti is a pretty decent card and that rig is well priced.

      Far away, rtx 3070 might have similar power as rx 6800 or 6800 xt.( $800~)

      tell your kid santa's sleigh crashed he isn't coming this year

    • +4

      Very far off a 3070, with that said, I'm not sure any kid needs a 3070. That's a pretty high end card, used for playing with all the highest settings and still getting high framerates. The card alone costs more than this whole PC

      • -7

        Sorry to say but a 3070 was never a high-end card. It's a mid-tier card and it's going to be superceded by the 4070 in a month or so.

        • +6

          https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/videocard/

          Considering most people have 1, 2, 3, and now 4 generation old xx60 cards and do just fine, the 3070 is clearly a high end card.

          • -5

            @BrokeCamel: Lol That's not what defines a high-end card. There were at least two other tiers higher than a 3070 when it came out.
            The 3070 has always been the mid-point of the 30xx range. I would only consider the 3080 and above as high-end cards. With the new 40xx range coming, it's barely a mid-tier.
            Sure, if you want to play Minecraft and Tetris on 1080 then you probably don't need a 3070 but that doesn't make it a high-end card.

            It's a good card but has always been referred to as mid-tier:
            https://www.trustedreviews.com/versus/nvidia-rtx-3070-ti-vs-….

        • Yeah but the 4070 is probably gonna cost like a grand so kind of irrelevant for many people

    • +2

      The card itself would cost more than this. Question is, what does he play, and can he get by with a card with less grunt? An XBox or PlayStation instead, maybe?

    • +1

      But 3070 would be a great choice for you.
      Merry Christmas for Adults!

    • +2

      Who cares what they request, the real question is what's in the budget?

      Depending on the age of the child and what they are doing with it a 3070 is more than likely overkill, a 3060 would suffice for most applications. Even a 3060 is relatively expensive for what it is, but again that comes down to the budget and what it's being used for.

    • +1

      Any reason he would want the 3070? That's very specific request. If he only wants it cause it's powerful, get him an xbox and call it a day. Or a machine with 6600xt as a gpu. Much more reasonable.

      • +5

        The answer is probably Twitch streamers

        • I assume that is the case as well, but you know, just to narrow it down so doesn't have to be an nvidia gpu equipped pc

    • -1

      I'm a big believer in buying things to last. Yea sure buying a 6500 or 6600 would be cheaper now but it would barely run any new of the new AAA games and in a year or so your kid's going to be asking for a new card or new computer. The 3070 will at least last a while longer. If you can stretch the budget, spend a little bit more now and enjoy the peace.

      • +4

        If people could in the first place "stretch the budget" then that would mean it's no longer a budget, most people can't go from wanting to get a 3070 on a sale to a 3080 without a sale, because in essence that's is what stretching the budget means.

    • does 3070 has 16gb version?

    • Doing the same.. Would like to keep it around $1k, need 2 of…

  • +6

    My mouse has just broken. Nice deal for my mouse replacement for free! Bought one!

    • Haha is that your excuse when interrogated by the wife for blowing 700 bucks on computer hardware?

      • +2

        Shit my wife haven't known that yet. Shhhhh

  • +2

    That video card on PCIe gen3, no thanks. Pay just a little bit more and get something that can run modern games like a 6600.

    Also you can get the 6500xt for $195 for the ASRock or the MSI. Can't imagine your selling very many for $279

  • Hey.

    Would this machine be able to run plex server and stream 4K direct/transcoded?!

    Thanks

    • +4

      The 6500xt has pretty neutered encoders due to being a repurposed laptop chip and there's no igpu either.

      Take a look at some of those optiplex refurb units and refer against this table.

  • +1

    Still waiting for their NZXT H1 V2 Liquid Cooled ITX Build

    • How long ago did you order? I've almost oredered one but do need it in a reasonable time frame :/

      • I havent placed an order. I requested them to make a build with an ITX SFF case

  • Great to see cheaper entry to the gaming PC market. The graphics card worries me as little bit… These cards should really be extinct by now, they are not up to handling current market expectation. They struggle even with 1080

    • For what it is this PC is fine, it will handle games as well as you'd expect a PC in this price range.

      The cpu is solid, the GPU is not terrible despite performing slightly less than a 1060.

  • +1

    I agree that this gpu is low end, definitely. The cpu is also a few gens old…

    But a brand new sub $700 machine capable of any gaming is a good buy in this climate imo. A gpu upgrade in 12-18 months would still leave you with a reasonably capable machine

  • any more restocks of the other black friday BPC deal?

  • I get that the gpu isn't suited for pcie3, but hey, stock clearance price is stock clearance price.

  • Would this have an internal speaker of sorts?

  • there a Asus branded box with 3070 and 5800X cpu and 32GB Ram for $2188 at officeworks clearance.

  • +1

    bought one, did quick research this specs is more than enough for kids games plus Fortnite.

  • They kinda have to ‘dump’ a cheaper video card in this because the processor is not integrated graphics capable.

    For those upgrading the video card, perhaps buying your new one, THEN selling the old one on ebay makes more sense.

  • Awesome for Candy Crush!

  • Would it be sufficient for Minecraft?

    • (profanity) oath (profanity)

  • Made a similar priced pc with the same gpu but with a ryzen 3600 and 512 gb of space but with a worse psu

    How has nobody mentioned this is PCIE 3.0 4x

    An absolute gaming disaster

    • I’m a bit rusty with computer builds. Are you referring to the mobo not having an x16 slot for a GPU?

      • +1

        The 6500XT is only PCIE 4.0 4x and 10th gen doesn't support gen4 so it results in PCIE 3.0 4x. 10th gen supports 16x, the problem is the gpu is only 4x

        Hardware Unboxed had the 6500XT suffering up to 60% performance hits when running in a gen 3 motherboard. So in this particular PC gaming performance is only slightly beyond a GTX 960

    • -2

      "In an effort to cut costs as much as possible, AMD made some other big sacrifices, too. Those include which video codecs the RX 6500 XT is capable of rendering. It doesn’t support AV1 decode/encode or encode for 4K H264 or H265/HEVC. If you need an inexpensive GPU for gaming only, these missing rendering formats may not matter. But if you were hoping to build a budget desktop PC that you could also use for video work or streaming, you might be out of luck."

      Would be better off with the RTX 2070

        That's what twice you've mentioned your post in this one. Are you just running ads now? Your deal was thoroughly torn apart, let it die.

      • That deals also pretty shit. Refurb and terrible motherboard.

        For perspective I paid:

        $399 (10400/B560M MORTAR/16GB Ripjaws 3600)
        $349 6600xt
        $129 750w RM750x
        $50 SSD

        Used my old case

  • +3

    Did google shopping for the parts just for fun

    parts price site
    intel i5 10040f $175.00 techinn.com
    Gigabyte H510M H LGA1200 mATX Desktop Motherboard $110.00 techinn.com
    Kingston Fury Beast 2x8gb $77.00 techinn.com
    Gigabyte Radeon RX 6500 XT EAGLE 4GB $249.00 computers & parts
    OEM 256GB M.2 2280 NVMe SSD $30.00 cheapest 256 ssd
    EVGA 500 GD 500W 80+ Gold Non-Modular Power Supply $79.00 BPC
    Deepcool Matrexx 30 Tempered Glass Mini-Tower Micro-ATX Case $45.00 common price
    $765.00

    Without even considering the shipping cost of buying the parts separately, there are already significant saving of buying from BPC.

  • LGA1200? no upgrade path, no future, go for 12400f + B660

    • Disagree. The far more expensive B660 motherboards hardly justify the performance increase.

      You can get an elite tier b560m for <$130 (prime, aorus, mortar). Honestly it's not even a comparison the b660 DS3h is like $200. I think 12th gen is recommended on reddit/tech reviews due to b660 board prices being less volatile in America.
