        Common or not, you'd be nuts using an install of Windows that some unknown person has installed.

        Always do reformat and reinstall.

          It isn't nuts at all. Millions of PCs come with Windows Pre-Installed by major companies. Which of those major companies have staff building those images that you are on a first name basis with? Many users wouldn't know how to install Windows to save themselves. It just depends on the level of trust in the company.

            @syousef: Millions of people use the routers given to them by their ISP. Telstra routers (especially) all have a standard username and password for access. Needless to say millions of households have the potential to be hacked - that is nuts (and I've seen it effect hundreds of retail stores where their bog standard Telstra routers were 'hacked' by script kiddies and had a DNS redirect put in place - it knocked most of the stores offline and I had to spend months programming replacement routers and sending them to site, with prepaid post bags so the stores could return the 'hacked' router (factory reset, then reconfig to go to next store).

            If the end buyer isn't technical, they usually know someone who is, who could then re-install the O/S for them. It's among the least that could be done for a device where the end user entrusts their passwords, bank details, private messages and the majority have a wank in front of.

              @gizmomelb: So let me get this straight. You won't trust a corporation that has to cover themselves legally and hire professionals to get it right, but some random friend who says they know tech you will trust? Careful what you call nuts.

              Corporations get it wrong and they're a bigger attack vector, but there's a very good chance your mate that you met at the gym and sounds really cool, or your brother in law who works a vaguely tech related job and wants to make his wife happy is going to stuff it up too.

              A small Australian SI with a good reputation is not likely to intentionally install malware on your machine. Especially if you're willing to pay retail for the license! I would 100% trust that over a random mate.

            Millions of PCs come with Windows Pre-Installed by major companies.

            But firstblood isn’t a major company (no offence OP).

            Which of those major companies have staff building those images that you are on a first name basis with?

            None. But if you’re talking about HP, Dell etc. they have been around for decades, have share holders to hold them to account for reputation damage and have countless corporate and government contracts that would have heaps of legal requirements for compliance, so you could have some level of trust that their supply chains are secure.

            With that said, I would still do a fresh install from those manufacturers too. Even at the very least to remove all the bloat.

            Many users wouldn't know how to install Windows to save themselves.

            If I could figure out how to do it as a teenager 25 years ago before YouTube tutorials I’d hope people could figure it out now. Especially the type of person buying a “gaming” PC.

              @PainToad: If firstblood had been around a bit longer and had built up a positive reputation, I would have no problem using their pre-installed OS.

              Dude most people don't know or care about knowing how to install an OS.

              • PainToad on 17/10/2024 - 08:40

                @syousef: Sorry, but I personally find it absolutely insane you would trust some random small business installing your OS. We're talking about protecting your banking details etc.

                Back in the 2000s I did school work experience at a PC store. My first day I was tasked with doing custom PC builds and installing Windows basically completely unsupervised. The business had no idea if I was trust worthy and they weren't monitoring me at all for what I was installing.

                The same business would also go through peoples' PCs in for repairs looking at the files for things to copy to their USB drive.

                Nothing against this seller, not commenting on them at all as I know nothing about them.

                But in general, spend half an hour learning how to reinstall Windows.

                It's a basic skill and besdies, reinstalling your OS every now and then is a good way to clean up your PC.

                • syousef on 17/10/2024 - 11:37

                  @PainToad: So don't trust some random business, but your mate Jim, who did a TAFE cert one in IT support or something is fine?

                  Sorry we aren't going to agree. This isn't the early 2000s and even medium sized reputable SIs aren't leaving an unsupervised work experience kid to do the builds.

                  Also that "half an hour learning to reinstall Windows" is only accessible to people who've spent some time learning about computers in the first place. These are the same people who struggle to format a paragraph in Word and don't put on 2 factor on their accounts because when they do they manage to lock themselves out. You don't seem to appreciate how little most people care about computing and how little they want to know about it. Not all gamers are tinkerers. They just want to get into the damn game.

                    1) I never said to trust a friend.
                    2) You’re kidding yourself if you think it’s common for staff working at these stores have any sort of formal qualifications.

                    aren't leaving an unsupervised work experience kid to do the builds.

                    Here’s the thing, you have zero idea what they’re doing. You’re blindly trusting them.

                    You don't seem to appreciate how little most people care about computing and how little they want to know about it. Not all gamers are tinkerers. They just want to get into the damn game.

                    Then I hope they don’t complain when the computer they’re using has a key logger and they have their life saving stolen. But hey, at least they got straight “into the game”, strange priorities.

                          Not everyone can become an expert in everything, and not everyone is interested in computers. Find a reputable computer retailer you can trust. Simply reinstalling the OS isn't enough since we've now got UEFI viruses that survive an OS reinstall. If you don't trust the company that provided the hardware, you're pretty much stuffed.

                          You trust your doctor when you get ill, your mechanic when you need your car serviced, plumbers and electricians when you need their services. Those industries are better regulated but if you think that means nothing shady goes on, you're a newb. You have to find people you can rely on that have built a good reputation to do expert work. PCs aren't that different and the answer isn't always regulation.

                          In any case you can rant and rave all you like. Most people aren't going to reinstall Windows if there's an installation provided when they boot the machine. Any expectation that this will change in the near to medium term is completely delusional.

                                Of course not. Anyone can make a custom Windows image. But I'd trust Dell/HP/etc.to install a clean image over some dude selling PCs in their garage.

                                But as I've said before, I'd still do a fresh install for any PC.

                                  Tell me you REALLY don't understand firmware viruses, without telling me. Once the UEFI loads the computer is compromised. A UEFI virus can be coded in such a way that it resists all attempts to remove it once it is in memory. You literally need to take the chip out of the computer and use a different device to wipe the EEPROM. That is if you can detect it as it can hide itself very effectively.

                                  Again, I don't have time to debate your nonsense point by point. What part of "stew in your own delusions" did you not understand? I'm not your teacher.

                                    You seem very confused what argument you're trying to make. Flip flopping between 'don't worry, trust random stores with your PC' and 'you must go to great lengths for security'.

                                    If I was to build a PC, I'd make sure the motherboard was factory sealed and I'd then install Kubuntu. But if you want to buy a prebuilt machine an OS install is the least you should do.

                                      @PainToad: I might as well talk to a pigeon. I could pull up statistics on what is and isn't common, and you'd still argue.

                                      Once a virus is in the wild, if it's effective, it becomes common. Bad actors aren't generally using 20 year old viruses. Do you know what a zero day is?

                                      The irony of complaining about the PC industry being under-regulated while giving out cybersecurity advice you're clearly not qualified to give is totally lost on you, isn't it. Please refrain from telling others what they should and shouldn't do with their computers until you understand the area a bit better yourself.

                                        Yes but UEFI malware needs to be made for a specific chipsets. It's not a generic virus that can suddenly be used universally used on PCs.

                                          Nevermind that you don't know how a UEFI virus works. If you ever want to actually understand what it is you're talking about here's a paper explaining how a UEFI virus works, this isn't bad. Note that it's 6 years old!

                                          If someone who understands what they're doing is selling a machine it's not difficult for them to modify the UEFI with a rootkit virus.I guarantee you there are scripts for sale on the dark web for people who don't know what they're doing too.

                                          Who am I kidding. You're not going to read any of that. You'll just name call and pat yourself on the back for "not feeding the troll". You're not interested in reality. Do you want to take a guess what I think of you?

    Hey, just wanted to say welcome to the community. I absolutely love seeing competition here, best of luck with this deal and future deals.

  • etherealhorizon on 16/10/2024 - 16:28

    Great deal! Might get this today. btw want to let you know the case for the 4080 super pc is listed as Antec CX200M but MSI MAG everywhere else (website & pcpartpickerlist).

      thanks for pointing out, you will get the MSI FORGE 321R by default for the 4080 super build

    OOF That's a juicy build…. Might have to bite… dunno if it's worth waiting for black friday though.

    Oh and welcome! Seems you'll fit in just fine here ;)

    edit: Hmmm adds $50 for it to be shipped which is a bit annoying, free delivery but changing to delivery adds $50 to the PC Total.

    • etherealhorizon on 16/10/2024 - 16:41

      Same here, been lurking for 3 months now. Compared prices to black friday last year, seems like only about $100/200 off the usual. But the $300 steam gift card is a big plus that probably wont come back soon

        Need to upgrade from console gaming and was a treat ma self lol

        But how long do we wait? 50 series in 2025..? Lol

      • SuBw00FeR on 16/10/2024 - 17:41

        It finishes nov 28th I believe, unless exhausted before, but who knows when that'll be.

      Literally read the description to get free delivery. You don't need to pick delivery.

      Choose self pick up and go through check out and on the last page delivery will be there and you can put your details in and you will get free delivery.

      • SuBw00FeR on 16/10/2024 - 18:00

        Oh you're right I completely missed that, thanks.

      That's not how it works???
      Its a promotion from MSI
      It looks like you have to build a majority MSI PC and register with them to qualify.
      If the business did that they'd lose all profit from the sale and go into the black.
      Its not hard to figure shit like this out… use your brain.

  • Sungrower on 16/10/2024 - 17:19

    Not sure if it's time to retire my old 1060 6G PC built in 2016…I've been out of the market for a very long time, from comments above seems like the 4080 one is a pretty good deal, could someone please comment on the parts used?

    • BurningHotels on 16/10/2024 - 19:45

      All parts are solid brand names from MSI.
      Not best in class but all are amazing for the price.

  • firstpostbekind on 16/10/2024 - 18:49

      Unlikely since this is their first post here.

      The 7500F+ 4070S build uses an mATX case Antec CX200M, sized similar to a shoebox.

  • billyh on 16/10/2024 - 20:11

    hope to see more deals from you guys in the future, will definitely consider buying from you guys. keep up the great work

  • mavis30551 on 16/10/2024 - 20:58

    is the 4070 super a good 4k gaming contender?

    • Lionheart on 16/10/2024 - 21:05

      Better at 1440p

  • jrizza on 16/10/2024 - 23:45

    i would get this but i want to swap out the motherboard for a MSI B650 Tomahawk.

    Can this be done?

    • AssociatedFirst Blood Computer @ First Blood on 17/10/2024 - 11:02

      Yes, but not as good price as Mortar and Gaming Plus Wifi. Feel free to contact us about change of spec.

  • Testeagle on 17/10/2024 - 07:03

    Great post for a first post by a PC builder. Good little rig with some well spec'ed parts, that voucher really sweetens the deal.

  • Bohlin on 17/10/2024 - 07:43

    Really great to see another PC vendor on OzBargain, I am going to keep an eye out for your builds now as I’m looking to buy soon.

    I’ve been looking at a new build recently to do some 4K gaming with DLSS. I’m a bit torn - the 4080S only seems to get at best around 15% better performance than the 4070ti super, but with a significant price increase that I don’t think justifies the performance. For me, it would be way worth it to save a couple hundred dollars to play a game at 52fps as opposed to 60. Will the 4070ti super drop in price when the 50 series launches, or will it maintain its pricing as it is a mid gen refresh? Haven’t bought a GPU since the 20 series days and I’m not familiar with pricing cycles post the COVID crazy era.

    I am presently looking at that latest tech fast build which has the 7800x3D as it seems like a great price point for me:
    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/867235

    I am thinking of upping the ram to 32GB and then I think the build hits a fantastic sweet spot of price and performance. Is there anything I’m missing? There seems to be a lot of demand for 4080 builds out there and it’s making me doubt my decision.

    • bejahi on 17/10/2024 - 09:27

      4080s is about 15-20% higher performance at 4k. Techpowerup is great for specific benchmarks.

      It also uses a fair bit more power.

      Of course as you go up the chain the value for money becomes worse. It's for people buying the most frames per second, not the most frames per dollar.

      Up to you to decide what is important to you. Only advice I will give is not to justify your decision with "future proofing". It's computers, they move forward rapidly and constantly. You will always end up ahead on both $ and performance by choosing what you need today and then selling/upgrading to whatever tomorrow has at a good price when you need it.

      • Bohlin on 17/10/2024 - 10:05
        +1

        Thanks for that - I think it’s a bit of FOMO influencing me as well. I worked it out to be around $500 more for that 15-20% performance increase, which to me doesn’t feel the best, especially when a lot of the time this is the difference between like 100 and 115fps when DLSS and FG is on. I was waiting for the launch of the super variant and was very disappointed when I saw that it barely outperformed the original. Having the same amount of VRAM also makes me more inclined to grab the 70.

        Also, the 7800x3d seems like an absolute beast and it gives me the impression that I would be able to upgrade a GPU later on with it like you mentioned and it will still hold up well. I think the cache is a game changer and future proofs it more than other CPUs I’ve had in the past, where I’ve felt obliged to upgrade the whole package at once.

    Just purchased the MSI - AMD 7800X3D, RTX 4080 Super Build.
    Will report back with my experience.
    They've had great communication through their site chat and email so far :)

    It appears I may have just got the last 4080Super.
    Will update with my experience anyway :)
