    This PC includes Wi-Fi and Bluetooth along with Windows 11 Professional (Activated). It also This is a highly competitive price when you also consider a higher end 1TB SSD along with a 3 year return to base warranty (compared to others 1 year) and lifetime customer support. When you spec the Techfast pc people have linked, it actually ends up costing $2,254. Sure, it comes with a RTX 3070 Ti. However, we also have a Ryzen 5 5600X | RTX 3070 build for $1,819 with the same upgrades as mentioned before.

        I wouldn't say it's that much more premium, same bronze 650w PSU, and isn't gigabyte's "gaming" tag their entry models? Certainly not high end gear here at all.

      The 3 year warranty, on what? The parts are generally all at least 3 years (maybe not the case itself?) in which case you're kinda on the hook to service that warranty anyway "for a reasonable amount of time" (I think?)

      Lifetime customer support is for say "my emails aren't working"?

      • Associatedenigmapc @ Enigma PC on 10/02/2023 - 17:09

        The 3 year warranty is on labour. Yes, parts warranty is covered by the manufacturer. However, in any events of issues we handle that whole process for you. Including shipping the pc from you to us and from us to you. Also, when there is an issue with a part we give you a replacement whilst we deal with the RMA process.

        Lifetime customer support is any technical issues relating to the PC actually not working.

    • Grish on 10/02/2023 - 19:54
      +1

      Maybe better to have the extra warranty stuff as an "optional extra" and knock the price down..

      I would never pay the extra for the warranty that you are saying is a built in value add, I would prefer to pay less and take my chances with the ACCC instead.

      Also, wifi+bt isn't worth much, you can pick up an m.2 module cheap as chips these days (or a dongle/whatever).

      • Associatedenigmapc @ Enigma PC on 11/02/2023 - 11:44
        +1

        We would be unable to add warranty as an optional extra and knock down the price as it has no value when we price the product. The pricing you see is as good as we can get it for those parts.

        Agreed, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth you can get cheap but this PC for instance has a Asus PCE-AX3000 which has Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0. Still, this part is not an expensive value add. The M.2 we put in this build is also a higher end PCIe 3.0 SSD. Sure it's getting on a bit but still comes at a bit of a premium compared to say a PNY SSD of similar spec.

  • asuka1204 on 10/02/2023 - 16:10
    +4

    Techfast is offering 1428AUD for 5600+3070Ti. Although I do believe your computer might have a better cooling system and bigger SSD. But for a budget PC, you should take GPU as a priority.

    • onlinepred on 10/02/2023 - 16:40

      Also comes with windows 11 pro which is an extra $229 from techfast right?

      • asuka1204 on 10/02/2023 - 16:43
        +3

        Do you really believe they offer a full retail version of Windows 11 Pro worth 229?

      • Grish on 10/02/2023 - 19:49
        +1

        You can get a Dell optiplex for around $280 and it comes with 16GB RAM, an 8th Gen Intel CPU, Win11 Pro (licenced/oem), 265GB m.2 nvme ssd, wifi+Bt.

        So yeah, the windows part isn't worth 229.

        Also, I would wage the majority of PC gamers want bang for buck and don't care so much about ultra high end components, especially if it adds exactly zero value to their in game experience!

  • SaulGoodFan on 10/02/2023 - 16:19

    PSU watts in title is incorrect and picture does not display an installed Asus PCE-AX3000, likely because it would look worse in the pic and appear to partially block a GPU fan. Price is average, definitely not a bargain.

    • Associatedenigmapc @ Enigma PC on 10/02/2023 - 17:14

      Thanks for picking up on that. I've corrected the mistake. You are correct that the picture doesn't include the adapter as it does not look the best in pictures. We do try our best (which we think we do better than most - a great example is the bargain everyone keeps linking to) to only post pictures of components that will actually be included in the computer.

      I'd be surprised if he returns with another deal in the future given the feedback. Its fine if its not a deal, but jeez a bit of maturity in responses to the rep wouldnt kill, especially if they're posting for the first time.

      • goldiep on 10/02/2023 - 18:53

        I agree … But, let the sales do the talking. If the "deal" is a deal (even to people who might prioritise the premium experience Enigma PC references), then a certain cohort the product appeals to will buy.

        If no to very little sales, then Enigma PC had their quantitative feedback (and be prepared for the OzB enforcers!)

      • solidussnake on 11/02/2023 - 08:12

        He could easily save $200 by installing an unactivated Version of windows with the feedback which has been rough I do admit but he's using Ozbargain as a free advertising platform at the same time so it's probably a win win , you can't take stuff personally otherwise you won't be in business a long time

    In fairness to the rep, I did a PC Part Picker and the total advertised retail cost came out at $107 more expensive than Enigmas deal.

    https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/yhK8tn

    Business's would have access to better pricing/OEM pricing than retail though.

    Their Facebook page was created in December 2022, just a couple months ago, so I am assuming they are a brand new company. They also have a physical location in Dural, Hills District of Sydney, pretty close to where I live. Easy pick up/drop off for Sydney people.

    Because they are brand new, we don't know how they are with warranty and after-sales support. So the 3 years warranty and lifetime support doesn't contribute as much as they think to the value equation. They could be fantastic or they could be Techfast/former MSY bad.

    We know that Techfast started out okay but quickly went downhill in quality, support, timeline of builds, warranty etc etc. All their current and recent posts have people complaining. Based on their reputation I wouldn't purchase from Techfast.

    But I do recognise that their 3070Ti deal that's $200 cheaper represents better value for money, you are getting a much more powerful graphics card for cheaper. I recognise that it is hard to compete with businesses that can price their products much lower.

    I think once Enigma PC's have access to cheaper pricing from suppliers (they're brand new after all) they have potential to price better deals in the future.

    I'll bookmark them, keep posting more deals in the future rep, this deal isn't for me but one of your future deals might be - I'm in the market for a gaming pc but am in no rush.

      Thanks for going through the comparison on this.

      Completely agree that touting a 3 year warranty and lifetime support for a relatively new brand is a tough sell and isn't as valuable as say a large company.

      Like you said, pricing would be easier with better buy prices from distributors. Even for them, margins are not as high as everyone likes to think.

      I will work on a different deal for tomorrow, taking in all the constructive criticism provided by the community.

      • BLAIL on 10/02/2023 - 17:42

        Just install windows but not activated and then you can remove the $250-$300 windows you added to this deal. The consumer can find their own $10-$30 key.

        • emoticon on 10/02/2023 - 17:47

          Yeah that would be a good way to cut down costs for tech savvy buyers, at least make it an option to have windows without the licence.

          It's be happier if they removed the hard drive altogether, or at least have that as an option, as I already have a hard drive with Windows on it that I could repurpose into a new machine. This is something that neither TechFast or BPC are doing so doing this will certainly make their deals more competitive.

        Much appreciated reply.

        From a marketing point of view I think focus on your strengths; your apparent build quality - record build videos, show us your cable management, how you test PC's before they're shipped out, how you prepare/pack PC's for shipping etc etc.

        Document this on your website, make a page dedicated to letting us know how you build and ship PC's - this sort of thing interests me and I'm guessing other PC gaming enthusiasts a lot. Walk us through this, I'm sure many people interested in gaming pcs watch build videos on Youtube, having a local company show us how they do it is gold and helps to build trust.

        I would trust a company that does this more than one that doesn't. It would be fairly easy to do as well.

        You having a physical location is also a strength, record/document an office or workshop tour on your website, let us know what the pickup process is like or how the warranty process works, do customers pay for return shipping? I don't know, the FAQ's on your website doesn't mention it. The more information you provide the better.

        This sort of information influences people's purchasing decision.

        • Associatedenigmapc @ Enigma PC on 11/02/2023 - 12:02
          +5

          These are some great things you've pointed out. So much so I've taken notes and will be actioning a lot of your recommendations!

          I've since made it a bit clearer on the warranty. I see some builders charge for return to base which is quite frankly misleading. A customer should not have to feel they need to pay extra to access their consumer rights. If a part is actually deemed faulty or covered under warranty, it's the responsibility of the seller to cover these costs.

          We'll continue to work on fleshing out our FAQ's.

          Thanks for all your help!

            @enigmapc: That's an awesome response and attitude. Instant brownie points.

            Yeah some builders do charge to return which is why I don't like to assume it's free. I personally can return it in person since I live close to your office but I know a lot of people (those who have purchased this deal and future buyers) will be happy to know this and could edge people closer to buying from you instead of a competitor. No cost warranty returns plus the 3 years warranty you offer is looking much better now.

            Shipping via courier is around $100+ maybe more including insurance. That's a good saving, if I was in Melbourne or outside Sydney, I'd be looking for free returns from a builder.

            Yeah I think you're on the right track, I've been looking at your Facebook page and we've been thinking similar things' a few of your posts touch on the transparent build process - "Expect complete transparency on the build process…" - Jan 17, "With complete transparency on the build process…" - 3 days ago.

            I haven't seen much on the build process yet but I think if you properly articulate/document it like I mentioned previously, more positive points come your way.

            Also a finance suggestion, have a look at 'Buy Now Pay Later' type payment options like Afterpay or Klarna. Having the option to pay in interest free instalments might make a large purchase like a gaming pc more palatable and could be another factor that edges a person towards a purchase.

            Anyways, I look forward to seeing more deals from you, keep posting on Ozbargain.

    • greatlamp on 11/02/2023 - 03:48

      Compared to techfast these guys have spec'd a 1tb SSD that is both brand name (higher quality) and high performance. They also use a branded case, branded case fans and a decent wifi adapter.

      I expect they are making the same or even less profit on this pc than techfast, even though it is more expensive.
