PC build (australia)

[MitchKelly1993]

hey guys and gals, currently looking at a pc build and this is where im at with what parts that i want. i currently game on a acer helios predator 300 and it has its known issues and gets extremely hot still even after changing the thermal paste.

 

CASE: MSI Bunker MiDi

MOBO: B450 gaming pro carbon ac

CORE: AMD Ryzen 7 2700

RAM: team dark 4gb x 2 (2666mhz)

GPU: MSI AERO 1070 8gb

SSD: ADATA SU800 256gb

HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2tb

POWER: smart power RGB 650W

OS: windows 10 pro 64bit

Cooling: has 4 fans on the build but can add more if/where required (extra cost)

 

speaking to a builder (which has warranty etc) theyre looking at around $2400 (AUD)

 

now obviously they're cheaper to buy online and build yourself etc however im after the warranty aspect of it plus have spoken to them about upgrades etc in the future with potential buyback/cheaper upgrades as theyre able to make some money back selling my current parts off

 

is this a decent build? 

 

games i play are apex and BFV aswell as occasionally GTAV, but do have plans to play others in the near future, is this an easily outdated system or will it stay strong for a few years to come? 

 

cheers

$2400 is a lot of money, a build i just threw together using the same CPU yielded this for less than $2000

-The case seems to have bad airflow on the front panel so I wouldn't recommend it

 

-Mobo and CPU are fine

 

-With this calibre of build 16GB is recommended(2x8gb). Also with ryzen it is strongly recommended to get RAM which is 3000MHz or higher

 

-That 1070 is a blower design card. Meaning it will run hotter(and at lower speeds), and cause more noise.

 

-Power supply is pretty low on the PSU Tier List so I'd suggest something higher up(Tier A/A+)

 

If I were you I'd just stick to building it yourself despite the lack of warranty, because you're overpaying by a very large amount here(not worth any sort of warranty imo)

 

Here's a build for $2400 AUD, has a 2700x, 16gb ram, 2080 and 6 decent fans(as well as x470 mobo)

Like OP said, he's getting it built by a builder instead of him building it himself because he wants to have warranty on the parts. I agree $2400 is a lot of money for that build though.

its sort of a "pre determined" build that they have.

 

and warranty being wanted as i have a 17 month old girl who is in the peak of her life when it comes to wanting to climb up things and chase the dogs around so more so worried about being out of pocket, the extra price doesnt bother purely for the cost of warranty, not sure how the price conversation stacks up agaisnt other countries but it comes with 2 year warranty for system and parts + whatever warranty comes with the items themselves, 

 

e.g the MSI AERO comes with a 3 year manufactures warranty

and with the issue of bad air flow i can get them to add a water cooling system later down the track if it needs to get to that point. thats part of the pre build that i want to do, incase of leaks etc

I've heard good things about Aftershock Singapore, and they have an Australian branch. You could try checking them out(you can customise PCs on their website and have them build it for you with warranty and stuff)

 

Glancing over at their website, it seems they have much much better deals than whatever your builder is offering. I managed to get something like an i5-9400F and RTX 2070 for $2000 AUD with a bunch of RGB stuff and 16GB of RAM in there.

You do know the warranty comes with each component...

 

what you you are looking for is insurance mate - accidental damage something of that sorts

I think what OP means is that if he gets it built by a company then if the computer stops working one day he can just call them up to fix it, instead of diagnosing the problem and paying for replacement parts himself.

 

Again I reiterate that $2400 is way way too much for the build OP specified, and there are other companies who offer the same service for MUCH better value(like the example of Aftershock I linked above)

I totally agree with you. 2400 is outrageous for that specific build

Warranty does not cover physical damage. If your dog or your kid knocks over your PC and breaks out, it will NOT be covered by warranty.
