    First thing that caught my eye was the case. It's nice to see a pre-built that uses a case that I would actually consider getting.

    • +3

      Exactly. Most pre-builds cases look just bulky and awful. Zero in aesthetics.

      • Curious how many actually opt to pay for larger pre-builds if not for the super clean cable management in ITX cases which I can never bother to do.

        • Larger case = more fans and more space for connecting SATA drives and the like. It definitely is easier to make a quiet PC when you have room for massive heatsinks.

          Only thing stopping me from going ITX, I'd have to replace all my Be Quiet! gear as it's too big.

          • @hjcoggan: Check my daily gaming rig here. It is absolutely quiet and handles all games effortlessly on my 34' ultrawide.

  • +13

    Upvoted just because of the case.

  • looks like a nice little build.

  • +4

    Thats a very balanced build. I would probably upgrade the PSU to something gold+ as they last over several upgrades. Its a bummer the mobo does not have a single USB C at the back. At this point it should be mandatory now that EVEN Apple has USB C phones.

  • The Dan A3 is so good its sold out everywhere. I got myself a black one and a white one (+glass side panel for the white case) for my next 2 upgrades. Fits an matx board in a case the size of an itx. So good as the matx AM5 motherboards are so much better then the AM5 ITX motherboard at a cheaper price. :)

    • +1

      I still don’t understand why it is so overrated. The OG design is excellent, but this one Dan has compromise so much just because Lian Li wants to compete with price in the front mount PSU layout case market (Jonsbo D30, Jonsbo D31, Asus AP201).
      And 26.3L is definitely not an ITX size case, not even SFF. If you want a smaller matx case, Jonsbo Z20 (20L), Mechanic Master C28 (17.9L), Mechanic Master iF17 (18.6L).

  • Agree, do like the case options. Add-on prices are wild but
    How long is coupon valid for?

  • +8

    Who would pay $299 for a 7500f, when a 7600 is around $285?

    The answer is nobody would, ever.

    So, imo it makes the pcpartpicker list a little misleading as the whole premise is "cost to build your own" and thus the above, nobody would ever choose that part, despite it being featured in the pre-built offering.

    • -2

      Difference of $14?

      • +5

        Paying an extra $14 for a worse component.

    • Yeah this stood out to me, the 7600 is such a good CPU, why bother with a 7500F.
      Especially with a 4070S, the 7500F will be a big letdown.

      • I'd question buying a preconfigured PC from anyone who made this choice. Makes zero sense.

        • +2

          I'd suggest it makes 100% sense. The supplier must be giving the company a nice dsicount on it. Money is king and everything makes so much more sense when you consider it as the first factor.

        • +1

          The sense is that Galahpower are not buying components at the list price. Think about it - if they were, what would be the point of them building PCs? To lose money? 7600 is a retail CPU, 7500F is significantly cheaper wholesale and from China (ie. AliExpress $179 shipped & that's without volume discounts)

      • +2

        7600 vs 7500F is so similar performance wise (literally 1% better) its probably a few frames more at best..
        its really an argument amount igpu vs no igpu and with the 4070s you won't be needing igpu

        • -2

          Alright, but what happens if your GPU dies? You're forced into buying a new GPU to even diagnose whats wrong.

    • +2

      Hi mate, I completely agree with you from a customer perspective. We source our parts wholesale from distributors, which allows us to offer the entire build at a lower price than retail. At the moment, the 7600 is still more expensive than the 7500F buying wholesale. If we are buying retail and build, it will be hard for us to compete on the price.

      • +4

        The point I was trying to make wasn't so much about 7500f vs 7600 performance/features etc..

        But more so about common sense and sneaky subtleties when these builders run the pcpartpicker comparisons. It's almost an artform ;)

        Considering that everyone knows the 7500f is the cut down (7600) OEM CPU almost exclusive to wholesalers, I find it ever so cheeky to then pretend this is a realistic pcpartpicker list item.

        Especially when the obvious non wholesale (aka the stuff we use pcpartpicker for in the first place) item is indeed the 7600, which just so happens to ALSO be cheaper than the inferior 7500f.

        • -1

          The 7500F and 7600 are basically identical apart from the lack of onboard graphics. When it's inside a PC with a 4070 Super, that missing onboard graphics is entirely irrelevant. The price comparison for a 7500F and a 7600 are, for this build, basically completely irrelevant.

          • +3

            @MrFunSocks: No, the 7500f can be bought for $180: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/856274

            However, the op placed an unrealistic $299 for this part, because if they put the actual price ($180) the total build cost would basically be shown as lower than the offer.

            The other point is that no one in the history of CPU buying, ever did or ever will pay $299 for a 7500f, yet op somehow figured they'll try pulling a bit of a fast one over OZB eyes :/

            • @Grish: Ah ok sorry I get you. It's bumping up the "build it yourself" price because if you did buy a 7500F it would cost about $100 less than in the OP. In that case yeh I think GalaPower should update that table. Still makes it a damn good build and price for those that can't/don't want to do it themselves.

  • mATX builds are underrated

    • +2

      They are good, but you need to be hyper critical for your gpu card width if you ever want to upgrade.

  • +1

    That case is so hot.

  • how many fans are in the case??

    • Default will be one ARGB fan.

  • @GalaPower does the front USB C work with this build?

    • +1

      Yes, the Gigabyte B650M Gaming Plus wifi has the front c port.

  • +4

    Here's a PCPartPicker with my preferred upgraded parts where I felt it necessary and discounts where applicable.. I used parametric filters for some parts which might be worth swapping out as well to optimise the build (e.g. PSU/RAM).

    Obviously much more involved in building yourself and sourcing from various retailers (plus having to rely on individual parts warranties) but just a comparison of what's available

    Also just for comparison, here is a similar build currently selling on Ozbargain for significantly less.. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/853548

    • +1

      Nice tweaks, gold PSU, sensible GPU, better RAM, SSD etc.

      Shame the case price of $119 is OOS at Scorptec though.

      • Alternatively, you can take a look at Jonsbo Z20, a smaller matx case with optional handle for $119 at PLE. IMO has better quality and feels more solid than A3

  • Gorgeous case! Didn't realize Dan case did a collab with Lian-Li

    • Since 2021. A smart call, given DAN couldn't keep up with demand on their own

  • for this build, would you recommend the gold PSU upgrade and additional fans?

  • I would need to connect this via 10Gbe Ethernet to my NAS (QNAP TVS-128). Typically I have used an PCie card for that. Does this have a spare port? If not is there another option? The NAS has a 40Gbe Thunderbolt port too but would prefer not too use due to reliability issues.
