      will the build quality be good with cable management???

        No, you can do it yourself.

        Friend got one. Very tidy. Not many cables to manage but they’re all tucked away very clean.

  • babyyodathethird on 25/09/2023 - 14:33

    Thinking of recommending to a friend for I guess pretty light gaming. Would it be fine for 1080p med/high?

    Havent heard that great stuff about the 3060s, but 12gb vram seems pretty great

    This is a great deal for anyone wanting to game at 1080. 3060 is more than capable at pushing 60+ fps.

  • Ultramup on 25/09/2023 - 15:08

    Would this be suitable for sim racing?

    Games iracing, f1, assetto corsa

    • arlennnn on 25/09/2023 - 15:27

      Yeah I'd say this should be okay, especially single screen @ 1080p. I know a few of the recent iracing tracks will absolutely tank your fps without playing around with settings though when comparing to the older tracks

  • Kremleen on 25/09/2023 - 15:20

    Could someone enlighten me if this spec is good for 3D rendering? I need to use Autocad and Revit for 3D modelling rendering and want to know if this is enough or should I up my budget. Thank you

    • WinnieRallycar on 25/09/2023 - 15:30

      I’ve really struggled to find reviews that mention components affect on CAD. It can be rather frustrating.

      The best I can gather is that anything will run CAD, and that how miserable an experience it will be will depend on how complex your model is.

      So this is probably decent for starters. Worth checking if Autocad or Revit benefit from any GPU acceleration. Otherwise faster CPU cores (not more cores) and RAM are the biggest difference makers.

      • Kremleen on 25/09/2023 - 15:43

        Thank you. Will keep this in mind when looking at specs

      • vid_ghost on 25/09/2023 - 16:29
        +4

        For Autocad.. you can run that on anything. The PC above looks ok but the videocard is a little overkill as a faster CPU with more ram would be better

        For Revit.. we run all models fine on intel i5 8400/AMD Ryzen 5600 6 core CPU's with GeForce GTX 1050 2GB cards. Some large Revit models.. "Amazon Warehouse jobs" have needed at least 32GB's or System ram otherwise Revit would crash to desktop…

        32GB system memory is a minimum although I've had no issues with 16Gbs for past 12 months. - Windows 10 or 11 work fine.. a rock solid stable PC is what you want the most.. redoing unsaved work is the worst .. we use both local models and BIM collaborate pro online models when we share with offshore outsourcing companies.. fast internet helps if working from home via Anydesk or Splashtop

      not worth the upgrade.. may as well buy you own later on and replace it if you need something better

      Zero difference. It'll just be really fast.

    • vid_ghost on 25/09/2023 - 19:09

      A fast gaming PC is great for everything else :).. while idle or during low workload these high end GPU's and CPU's do very little and dont use much power

  • Roe Jogan on 26/09/2023 - 10:25

    my gpu got fried (on fire) for 4 seconds and my PC turned off. and i got a radeon 6600 on the weekend, for $305 from msy.. how is this so cheap as a whole unit?

    old custom unit from 2018 (from ozbargain) ryzen 2600 (started upgrading it out part by part) 750w psu from be quiet (old one got fried), be quiet case (thought it would be quiet, not really), be quiet cpu cooler (again i thought this was the noisy part it wasnt), be quiet case fans, 16gb ddr4 3200mhz ram,
    whats left from old system that was not upgraded at this point is the asrock tiny motherboard and cpu.. honestly it was prbably cheaper doing a new system purchase nstead of part by part upgrades

    • Naigrabzo on 26/09/2023 - 23:16

      I hardly ever do parts upgrades. I just build mid range systems which is value for money. In a few years, I do the same.

      I suppose you could recycle that RAM and maybe PSU (although it may have caused fire) and case. Otherwise you will need to put ya anti static gloves on.

      These days though, you should build a AM5 system if you are keen to upgrade. Or stick to AM4 if you want true value.

      Don't believe everything that Joe Rogan has to say…. ;)

  • RSmith on 26/09/2023 - 11:52

    Does the case light up as shown in the pictures? If so, is it possible to disable the lighting?

  • Deadalready on 26/09/2023 - 12:14

    10% fast GPU, more recent MB A520 over the ancient A320 ~ against ~ AMD 8gb DDR6 v's 12gb DDR6 with nVidia and codecs are on par with each other pretty much, neither has AV1.

  • Navboi on 11/10/2023 - 17:36

    Bit of a stupid question but is it possible to order this unassembled? I love building my own PCs and have built a handful of them in the past so I'm more than confident in doing so but this seems like a pretty good selection of parts for the money compared to buying them seperately.

    • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 12/10/2023 - 13:46

      Hi mate.

      You can request an unassembled build in your order notes. Just send an email to the sales team at [email protected] once you place the order to confirm.

      Cheers,

      • Navboi on 12/10/2023 - 15:31

        Does that mean all the components come in the original boxes or do they just get thrown into a one really well packaged box ready to assemble?

        • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 12/10/2023 - 16:30

          Will be all original boxes, packed into larger boxes.

          • Navboi on 12/10/2023 - 19:13

            @luketechfast: And one last question, sorry for bothering you, is there any further discounts for requesting it unassembled? edit: also will the motherboard support the CPU out of the box without the need for a BIOS update?

  • RSmith on 13/10/2023 - 08:14

    Is there a PayPal option to pay?

  • ChatBard on 18/10/2023 - 10:51

  • handles1 on 31/10/2023 - 15:01

    Admittedly knowing nothing about which machine to buy, is this deal, or this one here: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/800109 the better option/value? Or is there a better alternate for this money?
