VBF500
AAAAANNNNDDDD that's a wrap. Allocated stock exhausted (150pc!)
Thanks to all that ordered! For anyone still shopping, we still have a $250 off promo code 'BLACK250' applicable to all custom and prebuilt PCs with a bonus keyboard. About 80 of those left at the time of this update (03/12/24 10:15am)
** Update ** : Due to falling AU dollar and rising supply costs, the price has increased ~ $30 on the base default configuration originally advertised below from $1269 to $1299. This increase is still less than the rise in the component costs we've had to restock to keep the offer live up to this point. Unless the AU dollar recovers in the near future this still may be one of best deals going between now and Christmas. Allocated inventory for this offer is limited and the discount code will be deactivated once this stock is cleared. If you keen, get in quick!
Important Update : While you can still order this PC and still claim the $500 discount with the coupon code, we're no longer advertising the steam gift card promo. While it's technically still eligible until the end of the month, our order queue is so long that we're not confident orders not yet placed by the time of this post update will be fulfilled in time for the end user redemption that closes on DEC 15th.
For those who have already ordered. Please ensure you redeem the promo on or before December 15th. You'll need the PC in hand before you can, instructions will be provided on the invoice emailed to you after the order is dispatched.
The TLDR; Elevator Pitch
- Over $100 cheaper than DIY / PCPP pricing
- Last chance to score the bonus $120USD Steam Gift Card* from MSI (Up to $225US with available config options)
- Very CPU/GPU/SSD upgradable long term with ample Gen5 power supply wattage and high quality motherboard
- Last 'Black Friday' deal of the year (from us!) so get in while it lasts. Limited qty available (approx 120pc)
The Long Spiel
🥳 Happy Friday Apologies for the long gap between deals! Have been hammered with orders and we're just get through the last of previous deals orders.
This will very likely be the last of the MSI Steam Gift Card bundle deal as the promo period is coming to a close at the end of the month and end users must redeem on or before December 15th
As per usual, there's a similar deal or two floating around in the same rough price ball park when just consider the top line specs. However as anyone who's followed a few of our previous posts probably can guess by now, our pitch on this one as with all our previous will be a little more $$ for a more overall premium package.
Just to touch on some of the reasons someone might choose this deal over others, lets say a certain $1148 offer that comes with a couple more cores on the CPU..
- MUCH higher end motherboard (despite the extremely similar product name) with a hugely improved VRM and power delivery system to better support higher end CPUs and overall a bunch more features and connectivity options as standard.
- Slightly larger better and ARGB cooler.
- Lower latency RAM (CL30), with added ARGB lighting vs No LED, CL32.
- Better ventilated chassis with 4x ARGB fans instead of 1x.
- 750w Gen5 PSU vs 650w non-Gen5
- 5000MB/s Gen4 NVMe SSD vs 3600MB/s
- Double the L3 cache on the CPU (albeit with 2 fewer cores) for overall slight gaming perf edge
- Options to config a spec eligible for up to $225US Steam Gift Card vs max $120US.
- Shorter lead times to dispatch
- Cheaper shipping to most major metro areas
- No additional charge for full parcel insurance (vs ~ $20+)
All up we think that comes out to pretty good value for money even, especially given this particular competing deal we're comparing against above comes out to ~$1497 when just upgrading the motherboard to match, SSD & RAM to the same speed and latency, matching PSU wattage and the slapping on the cheapest ARGB after market air cooler option.
To be clear, the other deal is a lot of bang for buck if you have a use case for those two extra CPU cores and don't mind all the other compromises. In our own testing, the 7500F has a small edge in all but a few edge cases as it has a small per core performance advantage and double the L3 cache example example here. The additional two cores rarely are the bottle-necking factor in almost all modern games when paired with a proper dedicated gaming GPU at any reasonable resolution and graphics settings. Rare exceptions apply of course, (eg Civ 6/7) where the extra two cores make a difference, and for things like video editing you might want to consider the 8 or more core CPU options from either us or the competition :)

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.
