    I need some way to filter all these new PC deals out of this website, I upgraded in January - a month before the PC Wars began - and I have regrets.

      yeah i feel you man. i bought just as the GPU prices started dropping last year and watched as my build popped up $500 cheaper only months after i made my purchase.

      After seeing your post here, I feel a bit better as we bought the exact same system 1 year ago for $400 more !!! Have we seen the bottom yet?

        There's no "bottom" in the long term, prices end up lower eventually, but GPU prices are still inflated well above the historical trend line.

      Bpc and techfast have been disappointingly quiet on this. I've asked a few times and always get ignored.

      Plan for around 2 months from ordering.

  • babyyodathethird on 26/04/2023 - 15:07

    Is there a big difference between the a320 and b550m? Will the ram run on 2666mhz with the a320?

    • feral on 26/04/2023 - 15:46
      +3

      So two of my kids, run an A320 and a B550, both with a Ryzen 3 3100 and 3200mhz Ram, identical GPU's and ~2% different FPS, no issues. The main difference is the Pcie X4 GPU slot on a B550, PCIe 3 lanes and overclocking support. I've been thinking about upgrading them to a 5500.

    • greatlamp on 26/04/2023 - 16:13
      +12

      Going above 3200mhz and running 4 sticks of RAM can be an issue if you read the MB spec sheets, but keep in mind these were determined on much older CPUs. The memory controller is in the CPU, and since this includes a more modern 5000 series memory support is also going to be improved. If you are only using 2 sticks of RAM there is nothing to worry about.

      The real difference is the implied power delivery on the board. A bottom tier A series chipset will be expected to have a bottom tier CPU power delivery to match, however will be perfectly fine for a 6 core CPU. Just don't try to upgrade to a 5900x/5950x.

    • bassiveguitar on 26/04/2023 - 17:47
      +4

      Yup. From the last 3070ti deal it took exactly one month for PC to ship from the order date.
      The wait did detract from the excitement of pulling the trigger, but otherwise the only major short coming of the deal.

  • PlushToys on 26/04/2023 - 16:58

    Wait over a month or spend a few days taking your time building your own PC and being able to pick YOUR OWN parts.

    • jean360 on 26/04/2023 - 17:05
      +14

      I am an avid supporter of building your own PC. But you can’t buy the parts for the cost of some of the deals that have been posted recently.

      Pair that with some people not wanting to build their own PC for whatever reason (no time, not comfortable, couldn’t be bothered etc.) and these are great deals.

      I personally wouldn’t get these parts and would rather pay extra to get better quality components but I am a computer snob.

    • Kontiki on 27/04/2023 - 16:43

      Considering a 3060 Ti is at least 600 bucks, I'd struggle building this myself for the same money.

  • tighttightass on 26/04/2023 - 16:59

        • solidussnake on 26/04/2023 - 18:08

          Used ones are going for around $400 so yes around that

            @solidussnake: i rather they put whatever one in there and make it $400 cheaper for me.

            Possible @luketechfast ?

    • solidussnake on 26/04/2023 - 17:17
      +9

      Because prices are dropping all the time, I wouldn't be happy paying now waiting two months and then finding the same deal for $100 less, would you ?

    • jsediv on 26/04/2023 - 17:20
      +3

      I don't mind wait times as long as the company states it.

    • Fybre on 26/04/2023 - 17:28
      +17

      Is that a serious statement?

      Because if they are going to take your money now, then they should have a reasonable delivery time. Reasonable in my opinion is 2 weeks. The whole "we are allocating parts straight away so can't refund your money" is a crock if they don't deliver for 2 months.
      They refuse to state the real delivery times because then more people would be inclined to just source their own parts and do it themselves. Also, it's entirely possible that someone's computer IS actually broken which is why they are ordering another one.

    • goraygo on 26/04/2023 - 19:16

      Wait 2 months?! That’s June. Might as well wait for end of financial year sale and save more.

  • dreamstation on 26/04/2023 - 17:16

    Need some good deals on quality branded GPU, MOBO, RAM and CPU bundles without all the other crap. I have good quality parts (PSU, Case, SSD, etc) just need the major internals. Can't seem to get those bits any cheaper than with all this other stuff though. Seems like a waste for me.

    • greatlamp on 26/04/2023 - 17:49

      Shoppingexpress.com.au have decent bundles on MB RAM and CPU. You will have to hunt around for a GPU, personally I am not concerned about GPU brand though

    • bopter12 on 26/04/2023 - 18:14

      I’m in exactly the same situation. Dying to retire my 6600K and R9 390.
      Would be keen for a 7xxx series CPU, decent mobo+RAM and probably a 4070ti.

      • evocable on 27/04/2023 - 01:30

        That makes my 2500k and r9 270 feel old, should probably give them a well earned retirement too

      I ordered mine from techfast on 22/Feb, received it on 21/Mar

    • HandsomeMonkey on 27/04/2023 - 00:06

      My last purchase was 5 weeks.

    • WarChief on 27/04/2023 - 00:12

      If it's any help to anyone, I ordered from BPC in March 11th and received the completion email on 11th of April. Price did drop during that time for my system by approx ~$100 to $150. This price difference is just based on the pricing of these prebuilds and the "wars" going on between tech, BPC, Enigma and Nebula of late.

      I am however content as I'd been lurking in ozbargain since Covid hit (yes I'm a tightarse true ozbargainer) and finally got a mighty system that meets my needs/wants

      • AndrewMTG on 27/04/2023 - 08:28

        would bpctech refund the difference

        • WarChief on 27/04/2023 - 09:59

          I wasn't aware that BPCtech(or any other business) operate with a price guarantee?

      i think you might struggle building better for 279 + GPU

    • MrChumps on 02/05/2023 - 18:56

      Did you not see the PCPartPicker at the top of the comments? That is the cost of doing it DIY yourself and add shipping cost to those parts if those outlets charge you for it which would be another 100-200 extra.

  • Sharesun on 26/04/2023 - 20:20

    I want a 3060 12G

  • Noobist45 on 26/04/2023 - 21:50

    I dont need a PC (although I do need a GPU for upcoming games) but I love these deals.

  • maverickjohn on 26/04/2023 - 23:12

    The upgrades seem disingenuous.
    They are charging full price for an upgrade.
    Eg b550 being $109 or an extra 16gb of ram being $109 as well. At least mark them up to a decent price (50% profit instead of 100%)

  • CrazyBargainCatcher on 27/04/2023 - 07:25

    They must be getting these A320 motherboards for sub $50 if they have to charge $109 for a budget b550 upgrade.

  • Nebargains on 27/04/2023 - 10:59

    This isn't necessarily a question specific to this build. But currently considering upgrading my PC (which is ancient by OzBargain standards). Last time I just sourced the parts and built myself which back then saved considerable money.

    Is there still money to be saved doing it yourself or is it negligible?

    • hothed on 27/04/2023 - 12:16

      Look at OP part picker prices and you tell me.

      If you reuse your case, psu, then just buy mobo, ram and CPU, it will be cheaper than a whole new computer.

      • Nebargains on 27/04/2023 - 13:49

        Is the part picker list accurate though? I hardly think someone would come here to sell their computers then provide a list of parts that was cheaper or on par.

        Not sure why the hostility, I think it is a fair question. I struggle to believe that Techfast is doing so much volume they are able to save an extra $250 + margin on each computer. Without doing any research I had presumed that I could obtain all the parts for a similar price in which case you are paying for someone else to put it together.

        • mrmrum on 27/04/2023 - 14:40

          youd have to do research yourself to determine if the partpicker list is accurate, just google the parts and see if you can actually find cheaper prices.

          historically yes prebuilts were always more expensive than buying parts and building yourself but currently it's in a weird spot where that's not necessarily true anymore. the downside might be that some parts in prebuilts aren't from as popular brands, potentially meaning they're not as quality, but for a consumer who thinks thats a negligible risk, doesn't want to spend the time and effort looking around and purchasing individual parts, and likes the idea of not having to build a pc themselves, prebuilts seem like a great option.
