    Great combo with the 6700XT!! Fantastic price point…. especially considering the gpu market atm.
    Is there a option to upgrade the cpu to 5600X?

    • Sequenox on 20/01/2023 - 13:48

      exactly same thoughts 5600X + 6700XT

      • jasswolf on 20/01/2023 - 14:22

        5600 would be fine, no need to incur the extra cost.

    • happyangus on 20/01/2023 - 13:57
      +9

      There actually is, if you scroll to the bottom of the options there's a second entry (for some reason) for the CPU. 5600x for an extra $140, not great but it's there

      • KarlDilkington on 20/01/2023 - 14:15
        +6

        Seems pretty reasonable to me.
        Mwave have them for $110 extra so a little mark up for changing the prebuilt is pretty good I think.

        • happyangus on 20/01/2023 - 14:40
          +4

          Oh right they're aren't as close in price as I thought

    • stuffedcrust on 20/01/2023 - 13:57

      Agreed, I'm not completely upto date with the performance spec of the AMD CPU, but I recently built a 1440p gaming rig with a 6700XT, 11600k and I am thoroughly impressed.

    • rio46 on 20/01/2023 - 23:05

      I saw an option to upgrade to 5600X at the very end of the spec selection. Weird spot tho!

  • PinzVidz on 20/01/2023 - 13:29

    Anything a little further up the food chain, in the $1K-$2K bracket, lads?

  • jasswolf on 20/01/2023 - 13:41
    +17

    If you're not streaming, and you have no interest in DLSS or much in the way of raytracing, this is much better value than the RTX 3060 prebuilts that have been flying about at this price point. Even if you are interested in those things, this is still arguably better value than an RTX 3060 build at $999.

    We really need to start seeing those cheaper RTX 3050, 3060 12GB, 3060 Ti and 3070 Ti variants appearing here.

    • silenthillrocks on 20/01/2023 - 13:51
      +1

      which of three above is best value?

      • jasswolf on 20/01/2023 - 14:19
        +5

        You're getting about 50% more FPS out of the 6700XT vs the 6600, so I'd suggest the 6600 system has the best value overall, but the 43% total cost step up to the 6700XT system isn't awful value. If there was a 6650XT build for $799, that would be even better value.

        The bigger issue is the potential bottlenecking via the Ryzen 5500 at 1080p or targetting high frame rates, which does not perform like a 5600 CPU, rather a 3600.

    • MysticAnarchy on 20/01/2023 - 22:23

      Agree with all of this, I’d be all over a RTX 3060 TI build… 12th gen CPU or R5600x plus would be ideal. Anyone feel free to hit me up if something good pops up!

  • Grosey on 20/01/2023 - 13:53

    Just FYI the 3rd link heading says "Ryzen 5500 RX 6600 8GB Gaming PC" but lists a 3050 as the GPU.

    How do you check if Mother board will work without Graphic card?

    • Canberralad92 on 20/01/2023 - 14:30
      +6

      Ryzen 5500 CPU does not have integrated graphics. The PC will not work without a GPU.

    • Exfreet on 20/01/2023 - 14:30
      +1

      No motherboard will work without a graphics card. You can however get a CPU that has integrated graphics, therefore not requiring a separate graphics card. You can google each CPU to check if it has integrated graphics, otherwise depending on the brand they will typically follow a naming convention.

    • DustyAfternoon on 20/01/2023 - 14:30
      +4

      It’s the CPU that you need to look at, to see if they have an IGPU. In this case, the 5500 doesn’t.

            +10

            @prhino: They want to make it clear that it's for work, for either the taxman or employer. When people see the word Gaming they have negative connotations that it is for leisure activities despite being a computer.

              @Jimbuscus: Hearing the word "Australian Taxation Office" or "ATO" is already giving negative vib…. I mean connotations.

        My Alienware is used from 8am to 11pm for my project work, does that mean I can't claim tax deduction because you know, it's Alienware?

      • syba on 20/01/2023 - 16:49
        +3

        Most the PC's in my office are called a "gaming PC". What you call it doesn't make it tax deductable - it is how you use it!

        • ArjaytheGuy on 20/01/2023 - 17:03
          +1

          Good to hear.

          I've had some annoying tax agents try and say "thats going to be hard to justify".

          Its just a matter of future proofing really, and if some of the software providers want you to buy their prebuilds for hundreds (if not 1000s) more than fair market price- something like this is ideal.

          • burningrage on 20/01/2023 - 21:25
            +1

            @ArjaytheGuy: Maybe the reason why it's called "Gaming" PC is perhaps the perceived durability.

            I bought my Alienware to replace my 11 year old PC during COVID where PCs parts especially the graphics card were hard to find and I needed it for my work pronto so needed a very reliable PC and didn't have time to build it.

            Maybe that's the sort of answer you might want to give ATO if ever asked.

      Are you worried about tax? If tradies can claim a $100 K ute, and their dog (seriously) as "work tools", I don't see why you can't claim a "gaming computer" as a work tool

      • based on 20/01/2023 - 18:02
        +1

        Just breaking it down to try and understand

        That bpc one looks like an a520m instead of the b550m here
        Fasttech charge 110 for the 5600x CPU upgrade which ends up ~$60 less than bpc

        The bpc warranty is 2 years not 1
        Bpc PSU sounds better
        Bpc is 6750 xt not 6700xt

        $60 more for the psu and GPU model up sounds worth it, but is the a520m a problem?

        • maverickjohn on 20/01/2023 - 18:12
          +2

          A520 is a worse board, but 6750 and extra nvme storage are tipping it on this side. Very odd choice of board but b550 with built in wifi is an extra $59

          • based on 20/01/2023 - 18:23
            +1

            @maverickjohn: And $60 to upgrade this to a gold 750w, which still ends up $60 apart with the b550 upgrade in the bpc
            I read the BPC as 250 nvme OR 500 SSD, not both
            $60 for the 6750xt upgrade, but you're downgrading to the 5600 CPU. BPC still sounds like it just noses in front.
            I've never bought from either retailer, maybe their service is a bigger differentiator than anything technical when they seem so close

              techfast seems better deal

  • Godgodgod on 20/01/2023 - 14:54
    +13

    Not a dig on this deal but some components are sketchy. 750w PSU has no description on brand etc. I like transparency from Bpc on parts list.
    What is the best realistic price of RX 6700 xt at the moment? $550ish? For remaining$400 to $450 you get what you pay for.

  • Jimbuscus on 20/01/2023 - 15:06
    +1

    With the CPU, the $699 options seem better value.

    If you are considering upgrading 2x8GB (16GB) to 2x16GB (32GB) for longevity, it's cheaper to buy a n extra 32GB later on than the price to upgrade, leaving you with two sets of RAM for cheaper than the one.

  • CantonasKungFuKick on 20/01/2023 - 15:11

    • Getsuga on 20/01/2023 - 16:08

      It should come with Windows installed, but it wont be activated, so you have an option to get a key yourself.

    • [Deactivated] on 20/01/2023 - 19:39

      Just to add to what the others have said, if you’re upgrading from an older computer, you might be able to transfer your old product key over. That’s what I did when I ordered from TechFast (used the product key from my old laptop - it still activated Windows 11, even though it was an older version of Windows).

      I think the product key on the old computer has to be retail (not OEM) though for that to work. You can check what it is by opening up a command window (as admin) and typing “ slmgr /dli.”

  • Jayblesz on 20/01/2023 - 17:31

    Wow these are great deals with 6700xt. Almost making me rethink getting a GPU on its own to use in my eGPU enclosure… Could just sell the enclosure and use the GPU budget to buy a full PC almost. Haha.
    I'd jump on some of these if I had proper use for a home pc.

  • gardezee on 20/01/2023 - 18:54

    What kind of FPS should you expect from these systems for new games like Harry Potter or Elden Ring?

    • Getsuga on 20/01/2023 - 20:28
      +1

      It depends on what resolution and frame rates you are aiming for. The 6700XT systems should be great for up to 1440p, and you can turn up or down settings to reach your frame rate. For games that are already out, you can just look for some benchmarks on youtube for the game and graphics card to see how it holds up. If you are going for lower resolution but a higher frame rate, then the CPU might be a limiting factor there.

    damn the Ryzen 5500 RX 6700XT 12GB Gaming PC is out of stock?

    Can you post another similar deal or let me get one!?

    link not working for me? is it still available?

      Just tried & link still working. When you get to checkout just drop the code in & price is reduced to the advertised price (depending on which system you're looking at)

    Thanks,

    Hi @luketechfast, will you have any new 4070ti deal coming up after the current one expires on 24/Jan?

    Hi Luke do we still have 6600 PC available?

    • GrsySandwich33 on 31/01/2023 - 00:40

      I am wondering about this too. The link brings up a 'product not found' page, so I am thinking it's gone :*(

    Anyone received any order updates?
    On their other available builds they quote within 14 business days for build time, which from the post date of this deal would be Feb 10. So I wouldn't imagine we'll get any for another week
