      Not that I’m one of those people but Defs a thumbs up

    • ab c on 21/02/2023 - 20:46

      Agree, may be it's due to increase competition: competitors are offering better PSUs in recent deals, $1K ish, proof below.

      Also, may be TechFast should be transparent & list the full name & model of ALL parts, especially GPU & Mobo…same disclosure as competitors.

      Mobo: I wish that TechFast list the brand & model so that we can assess CPU upgrade path, read reviews, know Mobo's features etc.

      CPU Upgrade path: AMD noted the following for their A320,
      1.'Selective Beta BIOS update needed' for 5000 series processor, &
      2.'Additional hardware combinations may be available through system suppliers. Check with your manufacturer for details.'
      Source-> https://www.amd.com/en/products/chipsets-am4
      Up-gradable 5000 series CPUs is unknown & you can only HOPE that the Mobo allows an upgrade: VRM thermal effectiveness, can it handles extra heat from a stronger CPUs.
      Assuming that you want to game @ 1080P Ultra & keep your system cool: longevity. CPU upgrade is most likely in a few years.

  • mr_asstight on 20/02/2023 - 11:51

    So this RTX3060ti is just shy of the RTX3070 performance?

    • Danstar on 20/02/2023 - 11:54
      -1

      If you get the top tier 3060ti probably pretty close. But this will most likely be the lowest tiered 3060ti (which isn’t too much different to a top tier 3060ti; but as commented below prob closer to a 3060)

      • zorodluffy on 20/02/2023 - 12:09

        i thought all 3060ti are the same?

        • FireRunner on 20/02/2023 - 12:34
          +1

          Yeah, I’m pretty sure different models of the same GPU have maybe a 5% difference in performance at most.
          A low tier model might run hotter, feel cheaper, be noisier, not pretty and maybe not last as long (though there silicon lottery at play too) but I doubt performance will be significantly worse than even the best OC models

        • Zackeroo on 20/02/2023 - 15:27
          +1

          The difference is in the clock speed (some are higher mem and core clocks), cooling performance and build quality.

    • Hornpub on 20/02/2023 - 12:04
      -7

      Not this gen, it’s more lean towards 3060 sadly.

      • FireRunner on 20/02/2023 - 12:28
        +8

        That’s incorrect, the 3060 Ti is just a cutdown 3070. It uses the same silicon die, GA104. The 3060 has the GA106.
        The 3060 Ti is roughly 30% better than the 3060
        The 3070 is about 10-15% better than the 3060 Ti

    • Larsson on 20/02/2023 - 12:03

      I think will depend on the resolution you want. Is your screen 1080p?

    • nitens on 20/02/2023 - 12:10

      Hard to say with most of the specs TBD still… But I wouldn't expect a bunch of ray traced uber textures in here. So it may work similarly to Spiderman Miles Morales punching out 60FPS+ 4k ray traced with DLSS performance mode.

      It'll still depend on their optimisation ability and focus to know for sure though. If this is your main use for the PC I'd wait for release and check reviews and videos and build from there.

  • Weshouldgetsushi on 20/02/2023 - 12:01

        Its fairly enough for entry level IMHO

  • incipient on 20/02/2023 - 12:10

    With the price of nvme and sata really just not being too different now - and possibly to get one of these entry level computers with nvme?

    • Larsson on 20/02/2023 - 12:17

      They Probably already have a bunch of sata in hand.

      Just chuck in one of those $88 Kingston NV2s in there, and you are golden

      • incipient on 20/02/2023 - 12:20

        I can't tell if the motherboard actually has nvme however

        • dcep on 20/02/2023 - 12:31

          alternatively, https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/758012

          • incipient on 20/02/2023 - 14:13

            @dcep: That's not nvme?

            • jsnowow on 20/02/2023 - 14:56

              @incipient: That's why they said alternatively.

              • incipient on 20/02/2023 - 17:48

                @jsnowow: But the current build includes a data disk. I wouldn't need to ask Luke for a sata option as it's already there?

                I'm very confused how we got here. All I was after was an nvme option =/

                • jsnowow on 20/02/2023 - 19:25

                  @incipient: Poke Luke a little harder and see if you can work something out.

                  The option to upgrade the OS SSD to NVMe is there with no mention of requiring a motherboard swap so I'd assume that means whatever budget A320 mobo they're using can accomodate them.

                  Keep in mind the original listing price is $1388, down to $1088 and then again to $888 with this coupon.

                  The cheapest price for a 5500 + 3060Ti I can find is $774, so they're squeezing everything else in for a little over $100. With all that said, it wouldn't surprised me if they deny your request for a free upgrade to an M.2 drive.

                  • incipient on 20/02/2023 - 19:28

                    @jsnowow: Oh blimey it is there. Absolutely no clue how I didn't see that before. Thanks for pointing out what's right in front of me haha. I was clearly pre-coffee this morning when I looked =/

                    Apologies to everyone above haha

                      Good luck with your PC endeavour though, I'd maybe shoot EnigmaPC a PM and see if they have any plans of an ultra-budget build that can compete or even a custom order.

        A no name brand, no efficiency rating PSU is always concerning. It’s unlikely to burn down a house but taking out all the other components when it dies is a real possibility.
        Glad they listened to the community feedback and have included a bronze rated PSU by default and even upgraded the previous deal orders too.

        My mate bought a PC from Techfast when they were selling R5 3500x/1660 systems for about $500. Killer deal, he's been really happy with it… until literally today, when the PSU fried and smoked. The PSU was an AYWUN 750W Bronze 80, but the Bronze 80 was listed as "certification pending". You can buy a cheap mobo, cheap ram, whatever. But get a brand name PSU.

    • EternalFrost on 20/02/2023 - 12:34

      If you're truly going for a budget pc, this is incredible value. But know that most of the components will likely be pretty bottom-shelf stuff (functional just not the best quality). ~90% of the cost of this build is in the GPU so if you don't mind slowly upgrading all the other components as you need them then this is a very good deal.

      • MuddyClear on 20/02/2023 - 13:17

        You're right. But it's only very few times I need real x86. If the PS5 has some serious advantages over the PC then I would consider it. The prospect of cheap / free games with the PC is enticing though.

    • IPYF on 20/02/2023 - 14:06
      +2

      GPU on a PS5 is roughly as powerful as a 3060 non-Ti, so this is already theoretically more powerful with exception to the very specialised PS5 SSD. But, always remember that most AAA games are often going to be more, again 'theoretically', capably optimised for console than PC, especially over the longer term so it really depends if you have a 'buy once, don't think til the next gen' mindset, or you're happy to embrace the fiddle that comes with PC gaming.

    Would this be a decent purchase if I wonna get my gf into PC gaming? Seems like it would run most games at 1080p

      It will run ALL games at 1080p.

      In theory it's "entry level" but these days there just aren't any games that require mid or high end. In fact you can play most games at 4k with this, and not always with reduced settings or even DLSS.

      Sometimes even with RTX on, or better than 120FPS.

      Personally I'd make a few different choices (Intel i3 12100f instead of 5500, better PSU, better mobo, slightly faster RAM) BUT that will add hundreds to the price for almost no extra performance.

      So cheaping out a little on those components is a fair compromise that makes this much cheaper.

        I wouldn't go that far lol. Dlss does help make them playable at 4k.
        For example marvel midnight suns without dlss at 4k is atrociously choppy

        I hope that your comments include Ultra setting-> 'It will run ALL games at 1080p'
        Using a modern game that demand high resource. In the test below @ 1080p Ultra, 3060Ti average 68 FPS (1% low). The CPU used was R7 7700X: ~30% stronger than R5 5500 as per this deal. I hope that R5 5500 will deliver responsive inputs via high enough FPS.
        Also, if CPU & GPU are running close to their 'safe' limit, I'm sure that they'll have a short life. The Mobo is also adversely impacted from the heat. I have assumed a high air-flow PC.

    Placed an order with this cheap shit. Now asking driving license, utility bill, photo id. Paid using one time credit card. Now want to verify using deposit amount. Won’t cancel the order. Asking 25% restocking fees. Be careful with cheap shit Techfast. Selling cheap shit but pretend selling Ferrari or million $$ house.

        I was talking about the customer. Not TF

      That's odd. I placed an order about one week ago, and I wasn't asked for that additional information.
