M100R500
Had a few customers reach out to us over the weekend and ask us to price match a PC they'd configured based off a deal posted here on Friday from the competition (The on the in MSI M100R mATX chassis with the $225 gift card!).
We couldn't do a direct comparative offer as we don't carry the lower end version of the motherboard, we're temporarily out of stock of the 7500F (from our last offer you guys cleared us out of!) and we also don't carry the 650W bronze power supply they use. However as it turned out, we already had a similar'ish (slightly higher spec'd) offering in that same case with the same GPU / Case combo and while the other specs are were higher, we managed to get a pretty hefty discount applied to pitch it as a competing offer. After doing all the leg work and with our previous deals sold out / expired, we thought we'd open it up to everyone here on OZB in case they thought it was a worthwhile deal also.
It's not an applies to apples comparison so here are the differences to take in to account we'll list below.
CPU
Zen 5 9600X vs Zen 4 7500F. With latest Windows updates & 105w BIOS we're seeing only 4-7% performance advantage to the 9600X in CPU bound gaming benchmarks but the 0.1% lows are as much as 20% better on the new Zen5 platform. In other multi-threaded CPU heavy tasks like rendering and encoding there is also 15-20% gains with the newer 9600X.
Retail DIY price ~ +$150 (not offered by competitor but they offer +$169 to upgrade to the slower 7600X)
RAM
Very similar, just ours has slightly lower latency CL30 vs CL32. Both SK Hynix A-Die.
- 32GB (2x16G) 6000MHz CL30 with RGB (KLEVV CRAS V)
- 32GB (2x16G) 6000MHz CL32 no RGB (Acer Predator Pallas II)
Retail DIY price ~ +$40 (lowest price RGB upgrade is +$45, or lowest price C30 upgrade from the competitor is +$100)
Motherboard
MSI B650M Gaming PLUS Wi-Fi vs Non PLUS model
- 10+2+1 VRM vs 6+2+2
- Dual 8pin EPS Connectors vs Single
- More vs Fewer Heatsinks
- 4 DDR5 DIMM Slots vs 2
- 8x Rear USB Ports vs 5
- 10Gbps vs 5Gbps USB3
- Mid-board 10Gbps Type-C vs No mid-board Type-C (not important when paired with the Forge M100R chassis but if you upgrade options with Type-C front panel connectors, will be the difference between these ports being connected and functional, or not)
Retail DIY price ~ +$30 (offered by competitor for a +$100 upgrade)
Power Supply
- 750W 80+ Gold / Cybernetics Gold rated, 7 year warranty, ATX3.0 PCI-E Gen5 PSU with native 12VHPWR
vs
- 650W 80+ Bronze (no Cybernetics rating), 5 year warranty, not ATX3.0 compliant, and no Gen5 / native 12VHPWR connector
Retail DIY price ~ +$60 (offered by competitor for a +$80 upgrade)
Storage
- 1TB @ 5000MB/s + 500GB @ 3600MB/s (1.5TB total)
vs
- 1TB @ 3600MB/s (5000MB/s upgrade offered for +$30)
Retail DIY price ~ +$50 for extra 500G NVMe drive.
Price
Ours - $2385 (+ Fedex Delivery from $29 | varies by postcode | with Parcel Insurance Included or $0 C&C in MEL)
Theirs - $2088 (+$50 Delivery + $30.29 Parcel Insurance or $0 C&C in SYD)
Price Difference $297 for a DIY / retail value of component upgrades worth approx $330, or if spec'd to closest matching with competitors upgrade options, ~$479 (with 1TB of storage) or $578 (with 2TB total storage). 1.5TB isn't an option, but you could split the difference at $528.5 if you wanted to assign a value per GB for competitive value purposes.
Local Click & Collect Bonus Offer
To sweeten the deal a little further for local pick up customers, if you mention this offer in store on pick up we'll give you a free EPOS gaming headset (worth $149 - link here).

Of course we realize to a lot of folks who just want a plug-n-play gaming PC right now, saving $250-$300 (depending on shipping costs) up front is compelling for a relatively minor performance difference, to which would say, the competitors deal in the base configuration without upgrades might be your best bet! On the other hand if you were considering that deal with a few upgrades and had the extra $300 in the budget, I think we could out well ahead :) Especially for those who might want to consider future CPU or GPU upgrades, and for those of you in Melbourne who can take advantage of local pick up and support, and the bonus offer!

Questions regarding Windows licenses & installation
- Yes, our licenses are 100% genuine OEM or retail licenses purchased directly from Microsoft authorized distributors. Physical copies of these products are provided with the PC including the license key cards and installation flash drive (for retail licenses) or COA stickers (for OEM licenses). Any system builder that doesn't provide these could be charging you full price for a grey market key of significantly less value and questionable origin. Always demand the physical copies!
- Yes, if you purchase Windows from us we will have it pre-installed, setup, updated and with all the required drivers pre-installed ready to go out of the box.
- No we cannot pre-install Windows for anyone who doesn't purchase a genuine license. We'd love to offer this as a service for those who already have a genuine license but selling a PC pre-loaded with Windows without a license purchase is strictly forbidden by Microsoft.
- Yes, if you have a genuine retail (not OEM or volume) license you can provide to us and that we can validate as genuine, we can activate it for you and provide the PC with Windows pre-installed. Contact us after placing your order with your order number and license details to arrange. OEM or volume keys cannot be accepted as they are non transferable to new systems.

- Rigorous extensive multi-phase QA and burn in testing performed on every single PC built.
