    • With the parts list, did you mean you will use the same parts?

  • +8

    $699?! AND A 3060?! No need to hold any longer boys, we are living the affordable gaming dream. Thanks for all you do Luke. Legendary.

    • +18

      The gimped 3060 8GB unfortunately. I'd argue the 3060ti is the better deal. As long as people know what they're in for with the 3060 on offer.

      • how much worse is the non-ti version?

        • the Ti is much better, I would say easily 15 percent better

        • +7

          There's 3 cards named 3060:

          1. 3060 12gb (original)
          2. 3060 Ti 8gb
          3. 3060 8gb (new)

          The new 3060 8gb is significantly gimped compared to the original 12gb, running something like 10-30% slower.

          The 3060 Ti runs about 15-30% faster than the original 3060 12gb. So the gap between the Ti and new 8gb would be even more significant.

          The original's 12gb of vram is nice to have for machine learning purposes though. Basically I'd only consider #1 or #2, #3 is pretty bad.

          edit: Here's an example of the differences https://i.imgur.com/TyjbiBK.png from https://www.techspot.com/review/2581-nvidia-rtx-3060-8gb/

          • +5

            @CodeExplode: Frikin NVIDIA… Just ridiculous that this has to even be explained…

          • @CodeExplode: its $599.00 with coupon code now and 2, overclock the 3060 and you will be rewarded with numbers that beat out the 6600 from AMD by a nice margin as well as DLSS2, RTX3 and youll game just fine on it and @1080P its all you need for 60fps gaming all day, every day!

        • +2

          3060ti is about 45% faster than the 3060 (8gb version), 30% faster than 3060 (12gb version). In terms of price/performance, both deals end up being around the same amount.

    • Assuming that you want to game @ 1080P Ultra…
      3060Ti: may be look ahead & pay the extra $269.
      1.Can you can certain what games you'll be playing in 2 year time: the extra grunt give your system a better chance. Keep away from high system demand games.
      2.The extra grunt means that you are operating below the system capacity-> longevity.
      3.May be you want to do other tasks while gaming, eg video chat etc.
      4.Every Windows major-release uses more CPU, Win11 demand more CPU than Win10.

      IMO, the CPU is likely to restrict you in a few years & you are likely seeking an upgrade.

  • Is it worth to buy this, swap the Video Card, sell the PC after?

    • +1

      Feel free to donate the graphics card to me :)

    • +6

      Nah, most parts are budget, so it might be hard to move.

  • +3

    TechFast proving they're still the kings of budget builds.
    Didn't understand the hate in previous threads.
    $699 for a 3060 build? That's absurd!

    Have bought from them before and know two others that have too. Would happily buy again - awesome customer service too.

    • +5

      yeah its the crap 3060 so the price being cheap is expected

      • +4

        No doubt. Still a bargain price.
        Much cheaper than the BPC Tech offering

        • $599.00

    • +3

      Yes, we paid $400 ($1288) more last year this time for their 3060Ti build, son been smashing it daily and still going strong except twice the internet speed went shitty slow which he has to reset the network settings and then all good again. Highly recommend Luke and his team !!!

      So at this unbelievable prices now, dont HODL anymore and just buy it !!! Wish all the car prices are like this …

    • +3

      AND NOW IT'S $599!!

      • +1

        Absurd

  • -4

    stock clearing sale, good for the persons who really want a budget gaming pc, but they are definitely not good for the persons who likes the latest products.

    • +4

      Dont get brainwashed by tech reviewers hypers and nvidia/amd advertising materials. These are still plenty capable machines even at this low end pricepoint: the 11400f/3060ti machine is plenty capable for 1440p gaming at high framerates and decent visuals (as in fps games like apex, siege etc) and will give you smooth 60fps in gpu intensive games at high settings (just no rt and certainly not max settings), and the 3060 8gb machine is an absolute killer if you are just going to game at 1080p.

  • +9

    Unless you really really need to save that 169$ do get the 3060ti machine, far more performance per your dollar. To save money just use this to save on windows activation (and no, those $5 random windows key are not legit, for the record), and theres no shortage of free games on amazon prime w/twitch and epic giveaways, heck, pirate whatever game you want and just buy it when steam sales on if you wanted to support devs. Point being I really cant stress this enough for 169$ is so worth it its a no brainer really.

    • It this a legit way of getting Windows 11 or is this considered a pirate copy?

      • pirate copy, but the idea is that this is no more 'piraty' than cheap windows keys you can buy online because in either case, microsoft dont get a cent from you.

  • +2

    Might be budget parts, but that's sorta the whole point. This build gets you in the door of PC gaming for the same price or less than latest consoles.

    This machine isn't for max settings 4k gaming (duh) but it will definitely be able to handle any game at 1440p especially with graphics adjustments.

  • +1

    Isn't the 12100F a better CPU for cheaper than the 10400F these days?

    • +1

      Yes. But it looks like they're clearing old mobos

      • But you can get various H610 motherboards for about the $130 quoted above. So it may be good value for them to clear old boards, but doesn't seem great still.

        • +2

          Obviously if you're buying components yourself, you'd avoid 10th gen stuff. But the reason these are cheap is because they've bought large quantities at reduced prices, which is why both these budget systems are including the same intel h510 boards

    • It is, but it's also very little difference. So it's about which ever motherboard you can get for cheaper.

  • bpc has a 3060ti build for 999 with an i3 12100f - any opinions on which 3060ti build is better?

    • negligble performance difference - save your buck and grab this

    • Alternately, is the ‘Ryzen 5 5500 RTX 3060 Ti Gaming PC - Feb’ build from techfast for $888 noticeably better than this i5-11400F build and if so why/how? Thoughts on different mobo (AMD 320 vs intel H510) and PSU (650 W 80 + Bronze vs 650B +80)?

      • Actually worse - not by a lot but overall a bit worse in games - just see benchmarks on youtube. 5500 isnt a 'true' desktop 5000 series that the 5600 is and performance suffers as a result, its a 5600g with igpu removed and the latter is a laptop 5600H binned for desktops. Both A320 and H510 are budget mobos and theres not much to be said about them. As for PSU, its a typo by luke as both psu in the builds are the same 650w 80+ bronze.

        • In majority of the cases, the gpu will be the bottleneck. The cpu matters in very few games

          • @Wonderfool: CPU is absolutely important in many, many games. For example, going from 1600 ryzen to 3600 gave me a 30FPS boost in War Thunder, with similar boosts to the 5600. Other games, especially strategy and RTS, rely on the CPU. Watch the countless videos by the likes of Hardware Unboxed to see the differences between each CPU - and don't just be a spurger and only look at 4090 with 13900. Don't undersell the importance of the CPU. And we're not talking about bottlenecks ever with budget builds. You're not gaming at 4k here. So the CPU is even more important.

            Also, you need only look at the impact the 5800X3D had and is having to know the importance of CPU.

            • @Shootinputin89: Majority of the games you ever touch is going to be able to clock 144fps with the i5 10400f. It will also easily clock 240fps in esport games. The 3060 will the one struggling to keep up, not the cpu. You can throw a 3070 in there and it's still fine. War thunder, for example, runs at 220fps with a ryzen 3600. The 3060 8gb won't even stable 120fps at 1080p. Infact, my i7 4770 would actually complimented the rx6600 quite well, and that gpu is about the same performance

              Pc community suggest 5800x3d to people because there are very specific games that are heavily cpu bound. If you are a flight simmer, a crazy Minecrafter, or star citizen player, then yes, the extra cache is super important.

              Don't use cpu benchmark for your purchasing decision in gaming. It's relative performance, not real world usage based on needs. HW unbox deliberately turned all settings down to lowest so there's minimal gpu variable. No one plays like that. Pay more attention to the gpu instead of the cpu, as long as it's a modern one that isn't a celeron, the gpu is the bottle neck 90% of the time.

    • Aesthetic: you must love the look as you'll be looking at it for a few years.
      IMO Leaper Maverick Case look good & it's a big +

  • Do you have a clue (list) about "brand/model may vary"

  • +1

    Wow is it just me or is this really cheap?

  • +2

    Thank goodness I am broke otherwise I'd have bought about 3 gaming PCs in the last week!

  • These are similar prices to second hand on ebay.

  • 3060ti product page lists 2666mhz ram?
    Typo i assume?

  • Which one better Core i5-11400F or the AMD 5 5500 deal?

    Assuming Core i5-11400F is upgradeable later with 13th intel?

    • +1

      No, the intel can't up upgraded to a newer gen.

      They're about the same cpu wise. Plus, cpu rarely matters in games. So buy the one with the better gpu and pricing

      • Yeah just saw the mother board only support 10th and 11th gen.

        Thanks!

    • +1

      Both boards have superseded sockets. AMD is on AM5 now (5500 is AM4) and Intel is on LGA 1700 (11400F is LGA 1200)

      • the AMD AM4 platform has way more upgrade cpu options and some nice deals are to be had on 8/16 cores that will keep you slamming for a while to come!

  • +3

    Wasn't the price $699 a minute ago??

    • Oh shit.

      Competition ftw

    • +1

      Looks like matching the bpc post. 3060 8gb vs 2060 12gb

  • Realistically, how do these sort of machines stack up against the Series X? :~)

    • +1

      That's a hotly debated topic. The short answer is that they're fairly similar.

      The much longer answer is that gaming PCs are highly flexible in the way they perform, since there are a lot of different settings and variables that can be tweaked to give the user the gaming experience they want - you can go much deeper into the settings for various aspects of graphics details, anti-aliasing, ray tracing, AI frame generation etc for maximum eye candy or maximum frames.

      An Xbox is really just a pre-built gaming PC, but the standardized nature of gaming consoles mean that hardware costs can be reduced through economies of scale, the OS and drivers can be highly optimised for the hardware, and games can be developed with that specific hardware in mind….so their performance is generally better than a generic gaming PC with the same specs.

    • -1

      I doubt any games would run 4K at 120hz on this PC whereas the Series X definately can run games at 4K120hz easily.

  • +2

    Am I missing something here? $868 for a 3060Ti build. That card alone is worth $600.

    I guess the only thing stopping someone from buying these machines and selling the parts is that you don't have the boxes for the parts which makes the parts hard to ship.

    • +2

      Presumably the 3060 Ti makes up the bulk of the cost of the PC. 11th gen was panned pretty much universally until the value proposition worked in favour of it, so it probably wasn't hard to 11400s cheap and H510 motherboards aren't highly sought after. Not knocking the deal but looking at the rest of the kit it's clear where the savings come from.

    • gray imports, no manufacturer warranty

  • How long will the shipping take? Also will the case be white?

    • After ordering the email says "All PCs are built to order, and the current timeframe for receiving and processing orders, build, testing and dispatch is approximately 14 business days"

    • +1

      WHITE case & pls read carefully.

      Select the hyper link, say 3060Ti-> https://techfast.com.au/products/Intel-Core-i5-11400F-RTX-30…
      Scroll down to 'Case' & expand the option, then select 'MSI…', then select 'Leaper… ' & note '…rainbow LED front panel strip. Gloss white paint finish…'

  • I am interested to know how many 3060 and 3060ti cards are circulated to the market after the bitcoin mining frenzy.

  • I'm not really into gaming and still using a Dell Optiplex 760 with a Core2Duo E8400, 8GB and SSD which is getting a bit slow in multitasking and can't play 4K video.
    Is the 3060 8gb deal good enough for starting with Blender and a bit of video editing, assuming I get 32GB RAM ?

    • yes wtf this will be 100x better than your ancient PC. I had that same CPU about 12 CPU's ago and im not even kidding.

    • the 3060 is a great gpu, with performance for the asking if you DL afterburner and overclock it! But even at stock if you have a nice big and cheap 1080P monitor your good to go! Its only at 1440 you need to use DLSS and maybe forgo RTX

      • OC sure, if you are experiencED (& have learnt from destroying system(s)), & willing to sacrifice longevity.
        For beginners, OC is a complicated process with lots of trials & error (& monitoring of ALL hardware temp)…& do you want to learn from your mistake in a new-system.
        At least read widely to build basis knowledge before taking any risk. The gain is little & you are pushing the safety boundaries set by system designers.
        FYI, all hardware are being compare with competitors. May be they are already set at the limit, & sometime OVER the limit…owners of 5700XT know what I am referring to-> https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/AMD-RX-5700-XT/Rating/4045.
        Apology, not meant to offend you.

  • +1

    just bought the $888 5500 3060ti deal yesterday is this new $868 deal better? any input would be appreciated thanks

    • +2

      I would prefer the 5500 deal as there's a better upgrade path with AM4 (all the way up to 5800X3D).

      • Mobo: I wish that TechFast list the brand & model: to determine the upgrade path (feasible options by review VRM thermal data: can it handle the heat from stronger CPUs), read reviews, know Mobo's features etc.
        May be TechFast intentional not list the details so that we can't research, ie they are off-loading Mobo that have bad reviews & no body wants them-> excess stock clearance.
        One would HOPE that there is an upgrade path, & AMD noted the following for their A320 Mobo,
        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 CPUs: you can only know after you paid for the PC.
        Apology, not meant to offend.

  • can memory be upgraded to CL16 instead of CL22 as an option?

  • Must be getting close to replacement time for me.

    How does my 4670k and 980ti stack up against these modern builds?

    I play rocket league, tarkov, Arma, GTA, fallout etc usually at 2k and lower settings if required.

  • It is an upgrade, but not as much as you'd think, about +33% more powerful GPU, I'm assuming you're already using an SSD?

    • Assume this was for me? Appreciate it.

      • +1

        Yes, replied in wrong box.

  • can play elden ring 1440p 60fps on 3060 version?

    • May be get the 3060 Ti & note my comments above ?
      To game Eden Ring @ 1080p ULTRA, may be double the minimum system requirements: as per internet searches.
      1440p demand even higher system grunt.
      IMO…assuming your system has the grunt deliver these scenario: gaming @ 1080P Ultra vs 1440p Ultra, there is negligible 'immersive gaming experience'.
      The push by the gaming industry for 1440p & 4k is about sales, ie gamers are being manipulated by reviewers.

  • $599…. but whats worth doing with it? Well it has a M.2 spot thats going begging and now 1tb and 2tb are <$100/tb thats a no brainer. 1tb is enough but 2tb means you can have a huge steam/ea-play library at your finger tips! Or just subscribe to MicrosftGaming for $11 a month and have a whole library of games for less than 1 new game costs these days for a years subscription. Got a big music and video library, Well 8tb HD are now sub $200! PCPARTPICKER is your friend!

    3060 is it a problem, well hell no, it has DLSS2.0 and RTX is an easy thing to forgo! @1080P 60fps is the sweet-spot, DLSS will get you near double that. So monitor id go for one with sound/speakers 1080P for around ir under $200 (prob 27"-32)

    What to do with the 480 (430gb after formatting) SSD? Well id like to see this baby dual boot OS, win11pro (buy an activation key with coupon code, info on YT Yes Tech City, Bryans videos in the comments) and Linux, or even Proxmox on it and run the linux iso's in VM!

  • +1

    Can someone please share the experience they had with this seller?
    I ordered 1 from the previous deal: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/753112 and still haven't received the PC after a few follow-ups.

  • @luketechfast I've missed out on the 10400F any chance there will be more stock?

  • Hi guys. If I buy one of these gaming PCs, how do I get authentic Windows 10/11 for cheap? Or if I can find my old original Windows 7 setup disc, can I install Win 7 then upgrade to Win 10/11 for free? Thanks guys

  • Hey @luketechfast - Delivery time is 2 weeks?

    May I ask for some more specs on the Leaper Maverick RGB case - Is it quite a large case? Do you allow to change the case?

    I just put an order in for the 3060ti build (good price!) still happy but curious if I can swap out for a mid size/smaller matx case e.g Thermaltake Versa H18

    Alternatively, do you do just the parts delivered minus case? I'm not able to spec out anything this cheap locally and happy to build myself!

    • 'Delivery time is 2 weeks'
      May be allow 6 weeks from payment date to arrival date…see my comments posted above ?

      'May I ask for some more specs on the Leaper Maverick RGB case - Is it quite a large case?'
      It's noted'…Case dimensions: 390 x 200 x 505mm.'-> https://techfast.com.au/products/Intel-Core-i5-11400F-RTX-30…

      Feel free to email TechFast directly. It seems that anything that is not listed in the option is not available. Customisation seems limited & read carefully: a small price to pay for cheap deals.

      • Thanks for the dimensions!

        Yeah I've emailed but not received a reply yet - I understand they would be pretty busy, that's ok.

        I did receive the confirmation email though:

        "All PCs are built to order, and the current timeframe for receiving and processing orders, build, testing and dispatch is approximately 14 business days, but may extend past this in busy periods, order for RTX 3000 series cards where the card's arrival date is estimated in a specific month, or because of circumstances beyond our control in the current coronavirus-affected environment of supply uncertainty. Of course, we will do our best to finalise your order as soon as possible."

        I'm guessing they are pretty busy but 6 weeks is a hell of a long time - are they waiting on the graphics cards?

        @luketechfast - Suggestion might be to put that in the ad as I was assuming buying the system that wait time would be 2-3 weeks

    • be careful at these prices, these components are sure to be grey imports, manufacturer will not warranty them

  • I tried to cancel a previous order, whilst my funds were still pending transfer. Of course I couldn’t call to cancel as you have removed all contact details except for email, so had to wait for an email response.

    The response was;

    Unfortunately, we are not able to simply cancel your order at this stage.

    Upon receiving an order, we immediately begin processing the order. As every PC we sell is customisable (or made-to-order), this includes ordering stock, committing staffing resources, administrative work, and other related procedures, all of which represent a cost to our business. Therefore once an order is placed we cannot accept a cancellation and offer a full refund, be it for change of mind or any other reason, without cost.
    Cancellations can be handled in two ways:
    1) Order cancelled and refund issued for 75% of the total cost, 20% will be provided in the form a one time use coupon and 5% will be kept by us to cover the fees associated.
    2) Order cancelled and a credit for the full amount provided, in the form of a coupon code to use on our website at any other time. This can be used in one full amount or multiple partial amounts.

    • Did you get your refund or did you the system delivered?

  • 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.

    • Did you end up getting your system?
