Howdy Folks,

We have been slapping out a lot of mid-high tier configs for the community, now its time to give the budget boys some time in the sun. A couple of banging budget bargain builds now up for grabs. Limited stock on these at this price so get in quick. These will be shipping out starting late January.

We have been smashing out the remaining Boxing Day/Jan orders. The remaining Boxing Day Deals are set to be finalized by the end of this week into early next week. With a bunch of the Jan orders having already been dispatched, expecting the rest to be finalized by the end of next week. Thanks everyone for your patience during this extremely busy period. There is still more to come!

        You can also always upgrade the ram later on if you find that you need it.

    @luketechfast Any possibility for an upgrade to a 3060ti or 5600?

    • JustAnExPat on 19/01/2024 - 13:35

      that's interesting… when I checked their site yesterday you could also choose 5600 (and even 5700x, from memory).
      Now it's gone… either they ran out, or it was misconfigured in the first place…

  • mickiskye on 17/01/2024 - 19:14

    Do these come with an operating system? I had one in my cart ready to go, not sure if it was the same website, but when it came to checkout it wanted another $150 for an operating system which blew my budget so I had to cancel the order.

    • J1990T on 17/01/2024 - 19:47

      I belive for free comes with Linux mint or you can buy a cheap windows 11 key online and install it yourself.

      • Naigrabzo on 05/02/2024 - 16:23

        I just installed windows 11 and never activated it. It still works with a little nag. Not sure whether it will work forever though.

    How does this pc compare to this one?

    (I own the one from allied, paid 2k 😂

    • Naigrabzo on 22/01/2024 - 14:05

      Allied one includes

      wifi usb
      windows home retail
      1tb NVME
      White cable sleeves

      so it's better but it's not nearly double the price better.

  • hondacivic1968 on 17/01/2024 - 21:42

    @luketechfast You guys need to amend your estimated dispatch times so as not to mislead customers. Please have a look at my order TF4875119322 it's been over 10 business days with no communication from your team notifying me of any delay nor the reason thereof (other than my emails asking for an update).

    Ordered the Boxing Day i9 4090 system fully optioned @ $5k. Reached out to them to discuss the possibility of upgrading some of the components further (at my additional cost of course). After complete lack of communication for days and days at a time, I was informed no modifications or cancellations were possible because components were already ordered and staff scheduled to complete the build. They refused to provide a phone number or call me. Disappointed, but accepting, I ordered the MSI Thunderbolt expansion card compatible with the motherboard in this deal. After being assured it was due to ship imminently, over a week later I received an email stating they don’t even have the motherboard they sold me a month ago, and can’t even provide an ETA for when they will. I will be lodging a dispute with my credit card company. Purchase at your own risk, you’ve been warned.

    Full email transcript for transparency:

    Me - 3rd of Jan

    Hey guys,

    Would it possibly be too late to cancel this order by any chance?

    TechFast - 4th of Jan

    Hi Dan,

    Thanks for reaching out.

    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.

    Please let me know your thoughts on this, and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

    Me - 4th of Jan

    Cheers for the quick reply Caleb!

    Any chance you guys could match this deal instead?

    \<snipped out of respect \/\>

    I don’t care so much about the case or RGB. But the better RAM, mobo and GFX card.

    Do you guys have a phone number that I could call for a chat?

    Me - 5th of Jan

    Hey guys,

    Just following up on this one. Would love to sort this out one way or another :)

    TechFast - 5th of Jan

    Hi Dan,

    Apologies for not getting back to you sooner.

    Unfortunately, we don't have an active phone line at the moment.

    We aren't able to do any price matching sorry, these systems are already quite heavily discounted.

    Please let me know if you have any other questions.

    Me - 5th of Jan

    No probs man, I’m sure you guys are busy!

    Yeah I understand guys, it’s ok if you guys are more expensive, but are you able to do a similar build with ASUS Strix mobo, GFX and faster RAM? Happy to pay more than PCCG if it’s a fair price :)

    TechFast - 12th of Jan @ 7:30PM (a full week later)

    Hi Dan,

    Unfortunately, we don't have a phone line at this time and all inquiries are handled via email at the moment.

    We aren't really able to deviate from the original configuration aside from the upgrades listed on the options in the build page.

    We don't really do custom builds and all stock is based on what is available at the time, and what is mentioned on the ozbargain page.

    Let me know if you have any other questions.

    Me - 13th of Jan

    When will it arrive approximately?

    TechFast - 15th of Jan (2 days later)

    Hi Dan,

    It should be shipping out this week and will likely arrive to you early-mid next week.

    Let me know if you have any other questions.

    TechFast - 23rd of Jan (over a week later)

    Good afternoon Dan,

    I hope this email finds you well.

    We are just reaching out in regard to your boxing day order placed with us.

    Firstly, we would like to thank you for your patience during this busy period, and particularly after facing these delays on your order.

    An update on where we are currently at with these orders. Unfortunately, these delays experienced are due to an issue with our shipment of the MSI PRO Z790-P WIFI motherboards offered with these builds. Due to circumstances outside of our control, the shipment has been delayed to us and is expected to arrive to us some time early next week.

    We have been able to source an alternative motherboard, the Gigabyte Z790 Gaming X AX which we are expecting to receive tomorrow. If you would be happy to swap to this alternative, we can process your order with the utmost priority upon receiving the shipment of motherboards.

    If you would prefer to stick with the MSI motherboard, we will process your order ASAP as soon as they arrive to us.

    Due to this delay, we will be processing a refund of $50 for your order for the inconvenience.

    Please let me know your thoughts on this, and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

    And again, thank you so much for your patience and understanding.

    Looking forward to hearing back from you.

    Me - Jan 23rd @ 9:18pm

    Guys,

    This whole process has been an absolute farce. I asked to cancel the order. After an absurd back and forth via email, and flat refusal to even call me, you said it couldn’t be done because you had already ordered the components and scheduled staff to build it. Then what, a month later, after I’ve already purchased an MSI thunderbolt 4 expansion card for a PC you’ve forced me to proceed with, now you’re telling me you indeed dont have stock of the motherboard and can’t even give an ETA for when you will.

    At my earliest convenience I will be lodging a dispute with American Express. This is unacceptable. At this point the alternate deal I wanted to buy is now gone. So thanks for that too. Do better.

      Update:

      Just got a call from Caleb. The current ETA for the original MSI board is next Monday, so the completed system should hopefully arrive to me in the next 1-2 weeks. Assuming that’s what plays out, then fair enough, these things happen.

      He also explained they order the parts in bulk on consignment and as such don’t have standing stock of other parts that can be substituted.

      Appreciate the call Caleb 👍.
