    Honestly this is alright, the whole build is probably almost the price of RTX 4080 already. If this is new of course. But idk, I hope im not missing the catch here, please correct me if I’m wrong.

    • +1

      RTX 4080 sometimes you can get it for around 1600. So the rest costs you around 600

    • +1

      it just uses a real cheap motherboard, pretty cheap ram and case aswell

    • +2

      For those getting this get the case upgrade, the Antec P20c, I have a custom build I made myself and this is what it looks like

      NB: This is not a techfast build so your rgb will look different and your aio.

  • +7

    Damn that's good. That 4080 is about 1700 on its own.. though new intel CPU is only a couple of months away.. and the 7800xt may disrupt a bit

    • What do you mean when you say the 7800xt might disrupt?

      • Disrupt the prices of other cards

        • +8

          7800xt is a couple of cards down from a 4080, unlikely to effect it’s price.

  • +2

    good deal

      ====================

      Interesting verification process. Seeing it the first time.

      • Buyer beware.

        This is crazy we just bought a PC for 2500 bucks and it said that it was all pre-configured and turns out it did not have a Wi-Fi card.

        And when you want to contact them there's no phone number!!!

        • +1

          Why would it necessarily have a wi-fi card? It's an optional add-on

  • +5

    I don't understand how it's this cheap, is it made with used parts? Pretty sure I couldn't build it for this cheap new

    • +14

      My guess is wholesale and partnered pricing that allows them to drive the cost down. Also Ozbargainers are known to…well spend money on good deals so yeah, cheap price yay?

      • +3

        Aah thanks for the reply, was thinking of building an xtx 7900 build but this is like 300 less, so man the temptation to buy is there, long as there aren't used parts of dodgy cheap parts

        • +11

          Well trust me if they do use dodgy parts people will remind them every time they posted here. Personally I've never bought any PC from Techfast but they've been pretty respectable here so you should be good.

        • +10

          got a 4070 build from them, ~1 month ago, 1.4k.

          runs cool, name brand parts, no issues.

          anecdotal of course but still

          • @90PercentOffOrBust: Are their builds loud?

            • +1

              @Morien: Might be due to in part to the 4070 in my build, but mine is almost silent under normal use and still just a low hum under max load.

              Temps on the GPU hit about 75 degrees at max according to afterburner

        • +3

          I've bought one PC from them before, a very cheap Ryzen 5 system with a Biostar (not cheap, just not a retail brand) board and video card and low tier PSU but 5 years later it still gets used daily and has stood the test of time.

          Honestly, I'd have no problems buying another from them. Possibly the only option to get a decent deal on a new video card in a build these days is to buy a system like this.

        • Its not 'dodgy' but they are, as this tier list refers to the motherboard, 'entry level tier' - but you also aren't paying 'enthusiast tier' prices
          https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/x570-x470-x370-b550-…

        • I've bought a couple. Hated the motherboards a520m (allied) bios was impossible to do anything with, but the one in this should be fine. Otherwise all the other parts were good for the price. The fans were basic molex power ones and were noisy again probably because the cheap motherboard would adjust pwm fans.

    • +3

      Mainly because you can't buy the 4080 for the price they can. The other parts to a certain degree as well.

    • a real cheap motherboard, pretty cheap ram and case aswell would help keep cost down but its still a good value build besides that cause of the 4080

  • Will the CPU be a bottleneck for future graphics uogrades?

    • Short answer is no

      Longish answer is maybe - it depends on your use case, game requirements, screen resolution, time frame? what does future mean? 5 years? 10 years?

    • If you're at 4k it should be fine, 1080p will bottleneck alot of games tho

    • +2

      It's already not going to max out a 4090 (and probably won't max this 4080) but overall depends what res you play at. 1080p definitely.

      1440p you will leave performance on the table. And 4k less so.

      Here's a 1440p comparison (with a 4090). Use the 5600x/5800x as a proxy: https://www.techspot.com/photos/article/2602-amd-ryzen-7600-…

    • -4

      Definitely YES. I have a 5600 sometimes bottlenecking a 3080Ti at 4K with DLSS quality enabled. 4080 is on a whole new level even without DLSS. You should be looking at a 5800X3D or 7000 series CPUs.

      • +2

        What are you playing that a 3080ti is bottlenecked at 4K by the CPU, minesweeper?

        • No, not unless you enable DLSS which runs games in lower res.

    • You wont be upgrading your graphics anytime soon unless you want to keep pushing greater resolution. But 4K is a good limit already, I don't think 8K is very useful for gaming purposes.

    • +1

      To clarify, for the CPU to bottleneck the GPU, it means that the GPU has spare headroom. That is to say, the CPU cannot keep up with the processing that the GPU is doing, and so the GPU is forced to wait as the CPU sends it work slower than it can solve them. What this means is that you will generally only experience said bottlenecking in situations where the GPU is stronger than the CPU, and you put your game's settings to a situation where your CPU cannot properly handle it. So in general, the logic of lower resolution = CPU will bottleneck is normally incorrect, since your CPU will not bottleneck your GPU unless it can't keep up with the GPU's processing speed - which is unlikely to be the case at lower resolutions (unless your CPU is complete poop).

      Of course, in practice, games are not all created equal, and there are differences in design (some are more CPU dependent, others GPU dependent). So to figure out the correct answer to your question you'd need to know: what games are you playing, and at what resolution/settings?

      • Cool appreciate the insight.

        I have a 34” OLED widescreen, and will be playing new release games.

      • -1

        Wolfenstein 3D, max setting

    • +2

      I will prefer 7700x or better CPU + 32gb RAM to pair with 4080, but it will add another few hundreds dollars.

      4k gaming CPU performance chart- https://tpucdn.com/review/amd-ryzen-7-7800x3d/images/relativ…

      Note: The benchmark system is using 4090 GPU and premium parts, so just 2 cents for someone worry CPU bottlenecked. (The performance gap should be smaller with 4080)

  • +2

    Any options to add an ATX motherboard to this configuration?

  • +3

    Thanks for this Luke, we asked, and you delivered.

  • +1

    Any chance of matx option?

  • It is kind of balance if playing on 4k, but not ideal if playing on 2k, 4080 can't be fully used in most games because of releatively weak cpu.

  • +1

    Good deal. Basically paying $1.6k for the GPU and $600 for everything else. Would have been tempted if i didnt just complete my build

    I'd be atleast upgrading the RAM to 32gb and if possible the CPU as it may bottleneck

    • What about the motherboard tho, wouldn't that melt?

      • +4

        Not sure. Tbh if I was buying a new system now I'd want AM5 as that's the platform AMD will be supporting in the future.

        • Yeah for sure

      • The motherboard VRMs are capable of hundreds of amps. Its an entry level board and probably wont overclock the greatest but it should be fine with any of the Ryzen CPUs, esp if you keep a standard downdraft air cooler on it

    • at 4k the cpu isnt going to affect the gaming performance much compared to 1080p

  • +1

    On top of the offer you need to add OS and CPU cooling system.
    But if I'm going to build a 4080 new system (my 3070 is still going strong), I prefer to choose the parts like a better case with the right fans, a better PSU, a full ATX mobo, 32GB and better quality RAM, AMD or Intel CPU (the last time that I tried AMD was back in 2003 LOL), CPU cooling, A better brand and performing GPU, a better SSD etc. etc.

    • +8

      I also prefer better of everything (etc. etc.), along with an AMD or Intel CPU.

    • Linux is Free and it comes with an adequate stock cooler

      • +1

        So is windows :)

    • you can always upgrade any component but thats not the point of this offer lol

  • A bit of amateur question, but looking into my first game machine, does this one will consume more electricity than a rx6600xt for example. Thanks

    • +3

      yes it will. probably 400W at least 320W from 4080 and 65w from 5700x

      at idle not so much

      • Ho wow thanks for the info

      • +1

        320w is the maximum power draw for the 4080, mine usually sits around 250ish when gaming, it's pretty efficient.

  • Can this play Total War - Warhammer 3 in ultra 4K?
    What about diablo 3 ultra 4k?

    • Diablo easy, Warhammer should as well. 60fps+

      • Why.. shouldn't I add to cart…..

        • Well it's good value but the 16gb will bottleneck some games at 4k, and you'll probably need to buy a new CPU fan. The motherboard is a low quality one, and only supports am4 and ddr4 so you won't be able to upgrade to ddr5 ram or 7000 series amd CPUs without upgrading it, but you should be fine for a while. Overall I'd recommend going for it, to build it yourself would cost atleast an extra $200.

  • To be clear this doesn't come with any CPU cooler right?

    • +5

      Its a complete system, it must have some sort of CPU cooler. But it would be the ryzen wraith stealth likely.

      • +1

        Comes with a fan, not with a liquid cooler.. more than likely an HSF retail box so the fan that ships with the CPU

    • +2

      By memory the 5700X doesn't ship with one, but they would have to use one - so either a standard fan type job or maybe an AMD wraith stealth.

    • comes with stock amd cooler. you have the option to upgrade to a 120 or 240mm aio liquid cooler.

      i would go the 240mm liquid cooler for $150 100%

      • Or get the $53.29 Phantom Spirit 120 here: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/790232 (check ram clearance first).

        Put the savings towards more storage (1tb is easily to fill with the size of modern games) or other more meaningful upgrades.

  • Thats a pretty good price in the current env.. except maybe for the RAM and warranty ..the only reason to get someone else to build is the warranty IMHO .. For reference I just got a RTX 4090 with a 5800x3d, 64 gb DDR4, 2 Tb M.2 gen 4 , a B 550 mobo for 4900 which includes build costs and 2 years RTB ..parts of course come with their own warranty but messing up chip headers when placing on the bay or static is not a good experience while building..not to mention the fan wires are a right pain to route if you cheap out on the case

    • Im about to build 4090, 7800x4d, 32gb ddr5, 2tb b650 mobo + case and everything else for 5k

      • Thanks for the update.

  • +13

    Nice just won $1.30 on the Powerball tonight, might put it towards this.

  • +6

    AM5 version please

  • How well would this machine work with MS Flight Sim ? Would the standard Ram etc be sufficient or a further upgrade.

    • +1

      "Ideal" specs for flight sim are 32gb RAM, so add it on config for an extra 100ish dollars

  • If this was a 4080 Mini I’d buy for sure

  • -5

    Overstocked second-tier brand graphic card plus other parts from 2 years ago.
    Good value on money, but has no potential for long term use

    • +1

      Apropriate graphics card for build's price.
      has potential for long term use if thats your budget.

    • -1

      +1 for speaking facts

  • We're on the cusp of 32gb ram being standard for gaming.

    Also wish for a bit more brand choices on the videocard, i would pay an extra 50-100 for something a little more mainstream.

  • How would this go with Half Life Alyx on Quest 2? Motherboard specs say USB 3.1 gen 2, would I just get a long 5m USB-C to A cable?

    • Highly recommend Virtual Desktop and do it over WiFi if that's an option. More freedom beats being tethered when Jeff is chasing you around!

      • I've never really considered using wireless, all I have at home is a shitty belong standard modem and 100mpbs NBN.

        Would that be enough to run something like this smoothly? If not, what would I need to get something like this going reliably with no perceptible lag compared to wired.

  • +2

    Is this better than the latest Nebula deal with the 4070 and 7600x at $1900?

    • +2

      No, the Nebula deal is better balanced

      This build is a weak body built around a bottom tier 4080

      5800X3D is the end upgrade for this build but the Prime B550M-K is a trash tier mobo with weak VRM and no cooling that will overheat and throttle

      As a collection of parts though, TechFast have negotiated well - based on current part prices and the 4080 price needed from PNY to make this deal work, they are making a very small margin

      • +1

        @ChatGPT How do you feel the value is/was on the Nebula build if I paid the extra $900 for the 4080?

        • +1

          Poor value, you can walk into a shop today and buy a 4070 for ~$900 or 4080 for ~$1700

          The upgrade is worth no more than $800 and when you consider Nebula's access to volume discounts, would expect the upgrade to be closer to $700

          • +1

            @Look Up: Agreed, I have the Dell 4k 144hz monitor from the popular deal a while back, and it tempted me to get the Nebula deal. However, I felt the 4080 upgrade was a little expensive. I liked the components more since the usual upgrades you have to make, be it the PSU or the ram were already quite serviceable imo. Not to mention the AM5 path that it utilised, having a little more futureproofing. Currently have a 5600 and a 6800XT and am hoping for more 7900xtx drops and to snag a 58003d since I'll be at 4K and the CPU shouldn't hurt much.

      • Any gaming-Guru with good foresight ?

        Do you think those who have jumped onto AM5, jumped too soon ?

        R5 5600X3D ~$AUD 350: if those reviews are true, then may be we'll see it here in a few months…pairing 4080 ?

        Not sure if AM5 is a 'bang for buck' path: ~ extra $400 PLATFORM-costs for AM5 mobo, DDR5, liquid-cooling.

        • Detailed comparisons not done by Techpowerup & Techspot.

          An outlier review is below. In time, real-world performance & benchmark may give us a better indication of the hype.

          https://au.pcmag.com/processors/100887/amd-ryzen-5-5600x3d

        • DDR 5 kits of quality 6000 ram has come down ridiculously, sales prices for AM5 boards have been pretty good all things considering and liquid is the same as always. I am glad I jumped on early with a cheap build path using a 7600 non x and will upgrade it all again near the end of the cycle (4ish years). Also the Starfield free promo sealed it for me.

          Good value for me, maybe not for you.

    • +1

      Tech fast is the cheapest way to get a 4080. Nebula is getting premium components all around and a weaker GPU. Depends if you are deep value gamer who won't upgrade and just wants max frames per dollar vs one who wants to tweak and change components in which the Nebula will give you more ability in future.

  • @luketechfast Any chance the 4070 deals are coming back?

  • +2

    Any chance of a CPU upgrade option @luketechfast? This CPU is copping a lot of flak

  • +7

    @luketechfast Awesome deal, really aggressive pricing. Can you please do a deal config with R7 7700X + AM5 MB + 32 GB (DDR5 6000) + RTX 4080 please!!!!! That would be my dream build.

    • +3

      Yep that’s exactly what I’m after
