Just wondering what some people thoughts are on the below.
I know scorptec generally is pricy but comparing this to bpc equivalent builds look pretty good for the price.
No?

Thoughts on 7900 XTX DDR5 PC

TLDR:
As bad as a lot of the "highly rated/voted" pre-build PC listed on ozBargain, with a slightly less impressive asking price than those listing.
Scorptec pricing on parts is the similar to everyone else. Scorptec also has great customer service. You could always just pick the parts you want and pay them the extra to build it for you. Then you get want you want and they build it. Otherwise if you have the experience build it yourself.
Also if there is a scorptec near you. You can just go pick it up which will save on shipping. And be easy to take it back if some thing breaks.
But yeah I wouldn’t buy that build either. I’d prob just go 7800x3d with 6000mhz ram and a gpu that meets your budget
Hard to find decent pre builds for a decent budget.
I mean 4k is fine but it's hard to find a solid build.
As for building it yourself, it's a marginal saving $200 here or there, rather have it done.
Wondering if anyone has come across any solid DDR5 pre builds?
If so, can you share, interested to see peoples thoughts what they consider ok for the $?you'd almost always end up with one or a few doggy part in prebuild
because those part are either hard to get rid of, or
really cheap for the shop to purchase (the distributor trying to get rid of) or
distributor force the shop to buy those as a bundle with some hot product.usually to be a bad motherboard/ram/ssd/psu/case
CPU: not much to say, the most budget friendly Zen4 CPU out there.
motherboard: So far MSI has the worst DDR5 optimisation, not saying their board is bad, but it's certainly is not impressive, no only in terms of clock stretching, but also memory training speed, general XMP stability, low latency optimisation etc.
also, MSI B650-P is about a mid-low tier board in MSI lineup.
RAM: rule of thumb buying zen4 CPU(ryzen 7000s), get 6000Mhz RAM.
GPU: Biostar GPU don't have Australian based warranty department AFAIK, anything wrong = 3 month waiting time. I don't think card itself have any issue.
SSD: this is QLC trash.
PSU: I guess that was the ASUS TUF 750w, it was sold at umart for 59 or 69 before? it was very decent, only down side is not modular, probably the most impressive part in this build.
Case: 5 year old design case with no mesh fronted panel on the front or side. as computer parts gets hotter and hotter each year, this is no longer good enough like old days, especially with 7900xtx
WiFi/Bluetooth: comes included with that motherboard, (sort of) cost free.
