    when can we expect those tiny itx case deals again?

    • +12

      That particular case is sold out and end of life as far as I'm aware so unlikely to return. Looking at others but ITX is notoriously hard to find at quantity and price, so short answer, on our radar, but no timeframe.

      • +1

        Why the CX200M has no usb-c in 2024 is beyond me :| (Next up CX700 too bigger in size for comparison)

  • any discount to remove the ram for this deal? Intel Core i5-12400F | RTX 4060 Gaming PC

    • +1

      does the computer look at like the one shown on the webpage with fans and ram light up?

      • +2

        Can only provide the complete system. Fans have a constant rainbow mode, and the RAM is RGB, yep.

  • +2

    Would this be sufficient for Roblox/fortnite say at 1080p? (Not sure if this is a decent resolution).

    My little one is asking for a PC but i haven't gotten a new one in about 15 years!

    Currently plays on an ipad 8th gen and complains about fps.

    • +4

      yes last year i build i5 12400f CPU + 3060 8gb GPU + 32GB RAM computer that plays fortnite and latest game fine

      • I bought one for my son from a recent deal by tech fast and couldn't be happier, same specs as AMD one listed but different hard drive and it's running everything super well!

    • +3

      Easily. 1080p on Epic settings would still be getting 100fps+ while 1080p Performance is in the 200fps’+.

      Can move in to 1440p on medium or low settings and still hit good fps also, all depending on the monitor being used.

    • -3

      tell him to get a job

    • My daughter plays Roblox and Minecraft on a PC with a 15 year old CPU, 4GB DDR2, and a 12 year old GPU, and it works fine at 1080p… no souped up settings of course.
      So yes, without a doubt it will work like a charm on this system.

  • -4

    If you guys can sell PCs so cheap, would you sell parts individually? I only need a new CPU and motherboard.

    • +14

      actually you need a new keyboard

    • +5

      Complete PCs only sorry

    • +14

      Generally when it comes to pre-builders the margins on some parts are so thin or even non-existent compared to other components that it only makes economical sense when they can sell the whole unit.
      It's also not uncommon for hardware to be bulk purchased from manufacturers in an contractual arrangement that does not permit direct to consumer sales of individual parts. Kinda like chip packets in variety bags saying "not for individual sale".

  • +2

    Thanks Luke Techfast

  • Hi Luke, Is it possible to fit a PCIE in either of these?

    • +1

      It will be tight. There is space beneath the GPU installed on the board, but the intake fans being mounted on the PSU shroud mean it is close to the GPU as it is. Both boards have a high slot to allow space between the GPU and fans, but as for another PCIE device, I think it would be very tight.

      • So what you're saying is one x1 device is very easy to slap in, but a second one not so much.

        • I've seen them in build now with the GPU installed in the high slot, and the 4x slot underneath being free, and then the intake fans below - as I said, it would fit, but be tight.

  • Hi all,

    Complete gaming/ PC beginner here.

    I'm looking to purchase a system in order to play games predominately like Tekken 8 - however I have no idea what type of system requirements I should be looking into, or would the system associated with this deal is sufficient?

    Is anyone able to offer a piece of advice, or suggestion?

    Thank you.

    • +4

      Tekken 8 has fairly easy requirements, i have a very similar system to this deal and i was able to run it on 4k60 high settings

      • Thanks, that's really good to know! I was afraid I'd have to dish out 2k+!

    • +3

      Here's the questions you need to answer:

      1. What kind of monitor do you have and/or want?
      2. What is your budget?
      3. What games do you want to play?

      Monitor: This has the biggest impact. If you're using a $100 business monitor, you're likely limited to 1080p (resolution) and 60hz/60fps (frames per second). If you want to upgrade to something nicer, you need to first decide on what resolution and hz (or fps) you want. The higher these numbers, the better quality (resolution) and smoother (frame rate) your gaming experience will be.

      Games: You've mentioned Tekken 8, which is locked to 60fps and not particularly hard to run. So pick a few other games, I'll use Cyberpunk as an example

      Budget: Let's say you've got $800 to spend and get a Nvidia 4060 graphics card. You now need to cross reference the GPU in your budget with the game(s) you chose. Looking at Cyberpunk, at QHD, you'd be getting around 40~48fps on high settings.

  • What's the best option to get wifi on this build? Just one of those usb dongle thing enough?

    • +1

      There is space beneath the GPU installed on the board, but the intake fans being mounted on the PSU shroud mean it is close to the GPU as it is. Both boards have a high slot to allow space between the GPU and fans, but as for another PCIE device, I think it would be very tight so can't say definitely that it will fit. USB would be my recommendation

    • Yeah, there’s a $69 option under networking that adds a dongle. Depending on the wifi strength that should be sufficient.

    • If PCIe x1 slot can fit, it is best to get an PCIe x1 base WiFi card. Can't recommend Intel WiFi 7 cards because they do not work with AMD systems, so Intel WiFi 6E for now.

      https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004959613888.html

      They used to be a lot cheaper:

      https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/824324

    • My house runs on Google WiFi (mesh) and each WiFi puck has ethernet out, which is how I'd do it (run a cable from one of the mesh pucks to the PC). Just mentioning in case you have something like that.

  • 12400F or Ryzen 5600 for gaming ?

    • This deal is 5500 and 12400f, 12400f (5600 is similar performance) is slighly faster than 5500. But depend resolution, games and graphic setting, diffenrence could be minimal as GPU is only 4060. 12400f is better, if your budget allowed even you might not tell the diffence.

      Steam works on Linux and almost games on steam can play on Linux.. (altho some on beta but they still work)

      There's the option to add it there as an upgrade. Loading it without a licence is against Microsoft TOS afaik.

  • -4

    just a quickie - I'm trying to source a super cheap refurbished windows PC for daughter to play Roblox, Minecraft and Sims 4.

    What is minimum CPU and graphics card you guys would recommend for this?

    • +1

      rather off-topic innit?
      Anyway, my daughter was struggling to play Minecraft and Roblox on an Acer SFF with a 3rd gen i5 with 16GB RAM and no videocard - it used to have an R5 340 with 1GB and that was just fine, but I think the PCIE port on the motherboard died so had to take it out, and that's when the trouble started.
      So I reinstated an old Core2Quad Q9550 which is beneath what Minecraft says is the minimum CPU, it only has 4GB of DDR2 but I added a GTX570 with 1.25GB VRAM, and that runs Minecraft and Roblox quite well. The lesson I learnt from this is that the CPU isn't all that important, RAM neither (although I must admit I configured Windows to run with a 16GB pagefile on the SSD with the OS), but the videocard is quite important.
      The only drawback with the GTX570 is that it is quite power-hungry so you need a decent PSU to keep it well-supplied.

      • My kid is playing on an old PC hobbled together with an i3-540, GTX950 and 8GB RAM. Minecraft and Roblox are quite playable for the most part.
        Then they started playing Fortnite and the CPU really shows it's age. Graphics card being held back back by CPU, sitting around 40 to 50% while the CPU is maxed out at 100% the whole time.
        Be interested to know how your Q9550 handled Fortnite, being older but double the cores..

        • interesting use case :-)
          Just remembered, it's not a Q9550 (that sits in an old Optiplex I used for office work until about 1½ years ago) but a 'delidded' Xeon E5450, which is actually slightly faster than the Q9550 (Passmark 2575 vs 2339). Both are significantly faster than your i3 (scores 1535).

          But your GPU is superior to mine, having 2GB of VRAM and a passmark score of 5337 (versus 3927).
          Given that I doubt my daughter's PC would run Fortnite - she dislikes that game anyway, so I don't have to worry there :-)

          Just had a look at minimum requirements for FN, recommended is GTX960 so your GPU is actually quite close to that. That, combined with your own observation, does indeed inform us it's very CPU-limited at the moment. Probably wouldn't be too hard to upgrade your kid's system with an i7… cheapest i7 860 is $24 (on ebay, free postage); its Passmark score is almost double that of your i3 (scores 2986).
          You could even use Xeons (see https://www.cpubenchmark.net/socketType.html#i2) but the one with similar performance is only marginally cheaper (via AliExpress), not worth the hassle… and the fastest i7 CPUs are still way too expensive, thus not worth it.

  • Would these be suitable for a decent home/ work desktop? Or should I look elsewhere? Anything I should add to make it better for that purpose?

    Not really planning on gaming on it however if I do it would be call of duty.

    • Not sure if sarcasm but get or build a PC without a GPU in it if you won't be gaming.

    • +1

      This system is perfectly fine for home/office work and casual gaming.
      As also per the previous comment, if no gaming then any system with a sufficiently similar CPU and 16GB of RAM yet without a discrete GPU will do the trick as well.
      For that matter, then even the many refurbished SFFs you see here on OzB will work just fine (albeit from 8th gen i5 onwards).

  • Can you provide a upgrade option? I don't want to use PNY, I want to use ASUS

  • Is the case upgrade worth the upgrade? 99 and 139 dollars options..

  • Hi @luketechfast .. do you have the white version of the case? And if so, is it possible to request white if ordering this deal? Thanks.

    • +2

      I ordered 2 builds for our kids with the same case and asked the same question but apparently they only have the black case in stock.

  • Still waiting for my order of the last ITX build placed about 3 weeks ago on 28 March. When is this going to be delivered?

    • The very last are in build, test and dispatch today.

    Hi Guys,

    I am looking to get a PC equivalent or with slightly better specs than the Apple M2 Pro with 10‑core CPU, 16-core GPU, 16‑core Neural Engine. 16GB unified memory. Is this any better, or any better options. Budget around $1500.

    Thanks

    • For $1500, I'd go for this, (with the i5, just because I'm more familiar with the intel CPUs) upgrading to the Deepcool aircooler and 32gb ram. You may want to add a WiFi option too if you don't have an ethernet connection close to where you put the PC. Also remember when budgeting you need a monitor for a desktop computer.

      This will perform much better than the MacBook - Just as an aside, number of cores doesn't really indicate that much. You want to focus on clock-speeds (GHz) and memory (Gb). Apple seem to have moved to advertising cores as they're not keeping up with the PCs in terms of spec numbers. Also, laptops are notorious for thermal throttling versus desktop PCs.

    • Really depends what you're using it for. A traditional PC with a graphics card like this one will be much better for gaming and certain productivity workloads. If that's not a priority and you want something similar to a Mac mini, you could look at one of the many mini pc deals - e.g. a 7840hs would be similar to a m2 pro in performance.

    • You can have doubled performance without choosing Apple XD.

  • Got a mate who has ps5 while the rest of us have pc, nothing wrong with that at all, but limits what we can play on our gaming nights. We play generally simple to run stuff. Would this be a suitable build to recommend to him just for simple gaming? the only reason I ask is I see a lot of comments that pretty much imply "don't bother with a 4060." for context, we would be playing things like ROR2, Deep Rock, Fortnite, Halo MCC, Splitgate, 7d2d, etc. Nothing AAA or requirement heavy. please no hate for my noob question and much love to TechFast for always making the goods accessible to the masses <3

    • +2

      It would run those games perfectly fine but would require your mate to play with the settings a little depending on whether they prefer pretty visuals or higher frames and it won’t be doing 4K.

      The 4060 has copped a lot of flack (rightfully so) but not because it’s a bad card. It’s just gone a bit backwards from the 3060 specs and was not priced accordingly, in fact, was ridiculously overpriced compared to the 3060 and its competition. But it has the added benefit of DLSS and Frame Generation which increases performance significantly.

      In a build of this price and spec it’s good value.

      • +1

        Thanks for a great clarification. I appreciate that alot.

        Would only need 1080 and maybe some 1440 on low. As a group we dont care much for high settings. Just having fun with the boys.

        Thanks again!

      • I would build a PC from used parts and get better specs.. 3060 Ti $350 + 5600X/32GB 3600 RAM $360 is what i got.

  • Do you think you will have a deal for 4060 with small case like mini ITX? I really want a small one. I don't need fancy PC.

  • -1

    Has anyone done a pc parts picker comparison against this?

    Considering a 4060 costs like $400+, it seems suspiciously cheap unless using bottom barrel components.

    • Exactly

    • +1

      From what I’ve seen in all their previous builds they use at a minimum, mid-spec components but they make almost nothing on their builds and focus more on the quantity sold. Without using partpicker I’d hazard a guess that this is a $1100-$1200 build using middle-of-the-road known products.

      Like most PC builders they would buy in bulk, getting better pricing and rather than increase their margins they pass the savings on to the customer.

      Admittedly, there are other builders out there who offer a more personal approach, after-sales support and warranty terms (seeing what’s offered by others) but again, this is cost saving.

      • What's wrong with TechFast's warranty?

        • Nothing at all, they offer what’s legally required. Some other companies out there offer longer back-to-base warranties or deal with manufacturer warranties on your behalf for 3yrs etc.

          Just noting some of the additional things some offer that would increase their overheads and therefore, can’t really match Techfast’s pricing.

  • How does one change the Linux OS to Win? Reformat?

    • +2

      My techfast build had detailed instructions how to do it with installed shortcuts. Just need a usb.

    • Plug in a USB driver with Windows included before turning on.

    • Thanks

  • Dumb question but is it possible to replace the PSU, RAM and SSD with the ones I've already have. I do know that this will void the warranty

    • If you want to, sure. Not necessarily instant void but would have implications if one ofthe replaced parts causes or contributes to a fault.

      • Thanks! Is it possible to upgrade the mobo to B660 or B760? I don't see the options in the link.

        • The DDR4 versions of these are basically end of life and not in distributors we buy from anymore sorry

    • Try to replace it after the warranty expires! It seems enough for 1 year for me.

  • Do you guys accept afterpay on these deals?

    • No, fees make it prohibitive sorry

      • Perhaps a surcharge on payments from paypal/zip/afterpay, i would pay the surcharge if i can pay via paypal for that extra peace of mind.

  • Is there any chance of the "240mm All-In-One Liquid CPU Cooler" option on the 12400F-4060-A500 build (as it was an option back on the February version). Would love to get liquid cooling but don't think a 120mm is ideal, either stock cooler or 240mm would be better? (would it need the mid-tower case?) Thanks in advance!

    • I don't generally add it to deals where the default case doesn't support it because it generally causes issues and the site doens't have compatibility filtering yet, but if you wanted to upgrade post purchase we can do that. You would need a Leaper Air Maxx White or one of the MSI or Antec cases to fit a 240.

      • Assuming the Antec P20C ARGB Black Mid Tower E-ATX Case will support a 240mm liquid cooler? but will the Antec NX200M Tempered Glass RGB M-ATX Case also (as it was in the original Feb deal also) and the Antec site seems to indicate it will.

        When you say post purchase, we just order online and then you amend the order after? (we pay the difference?) that would be great. Roughly what is the price of the 240mm? still $149? thanks!

        • NX200M is a very tight fit at the top and not really recommended as it takes certain models/combos of MB, RAM and cooler. P20C supports up to 360mm top and rear.

          And yep once orderd just email [email protected] and we'll arrange.

          • @luketechfast: Awesome, thanks Luke!

            With the P20C it looks like it only has 3 fans at the front included, with the cooler mounted on the top, do you happen to stock the same Antec PWM RGB fans (as the front) to mount at the rear?

            • @digitalmayhem: We install a non RGB fan at the rear. Antec don't provide any extra RGS fans for us. You could always swap out post purchase, if they are sold separately at retail - I actually haven't ever looked.

        • Antec P20C can support up to 360mm AIO. Probably overkill (especially on the Ryzen chips) but aesthetically fills the space and should be able to run it at low fan speeds for minimal noise.

  • @luketechfast does the h610 board provide pcie4 support for the gpu?

    • Yep

  • Hi Luke,

    Can I ask what kind of PSU is included in the deals? Is it the generic that came with the case?
    Also if I upgrade the PSU do you still include the replaced part in the shipment?

    • We install our own PSUs and use a variety of models. The 650W bronze is specifically from MSI or Gigabye, and 750 gold is from FSP.

  • Whats the postage to regional areas? 1 hour from capital city of state? Impressive price sir.

    • You can enter your post code only at checkout to see the exact shipping price

    My Techfast PC just arrived…and I re-cased right away! Had to wait for 3 weeks so the advertised 5-10 days is just not going to happen.

    Specs:
    i5-12400F
    16gb XPG RGB DDR4-3200
    MaxSun Challenger H610ITX motherboard
    500gb Crucial NVMe SSD
    PNY RTX 4060
    Allied fake 750w power supply

    Here are my thoughts on this PC before you take the plunge.

    Pros:
    - Unbeatable price
    - Booted up first time (into linux)
    - Motherboard had latest bios and XMP was enabled

    Cons:
    - The motherboard is facing the right panel so you can't see the RGB ram sticks. Only the graphics card can be seen through glass panel and nothing else.
    - Can't access second m.2 slot at back of motherboard as there is no cutout in the case for this.
    - Can't access 2.5" SSD bays without removing power supply. No instructions provided on how to slide power supply carriage out.
    - Power supply is max 750w max but unable to tell how much continuous power is supplied. Feels light and not 80 plus rated.
    - No case fans so this will be get hot when gaming. You might get away with this case for light browsing and office work but not recommended for gaming.

    Would only recommend this for someone who knows how to disassemble and reassemble the PC without taking too much time, can install Windows themselves and is willing to wait several weeks for delivery.

    • Thanks for the review.
      Can't help but calculate that your complaint about wait time is a bit exagerated. The estimate is 5-10 business days to assemble and doesn't include shipping time. 3 weeks ago would include the Easter public holidays. So taking into account shipping time and public holidays I imagine your build can't have been many business days past 10. I get that it's annoying to wait for a purchase to arrive, but doesn't seem like it was unreasonably longer then the estimated wait time.

    • is this the ITX deal or the Antec CX200M MATX in this post?

    • Thanks for the feedback always interesting to read

  • Hi @luketechfast any chance you could offer an upgrade option for the motherboard? Ideally something with 4 memory banks? Thanks

    • Not on this one sorry, strictly limited to what is available on the build page.

  • Luke:

    Would it be possible I ask for a DeepCool Ag400 Air Cooler ($49.00) as a cooling option for the Intel i5 12400F build posted here as opposed to the 120mm liquid cooling option as I do not like liquid coolers? I know you have these as an option for other builds and would be great if I could add this somehow when I order?
