Gaming Mach 3

[ShakeNBake]

Yoooo this spec is insane for the price no?
Why wait for black fri / 4070 Ti / 4080 bundles when this is 1300??
Only downside is it's AM4 = no future upgrades right?
hmmmMMMmmm

It is a pretty good price for the spec, considering the usual markup on prebuilds.

This isn't an exact match (e.g. the PSU in my spec is better).

Yeah.

Shopping around and getting a cheaper windows code would knock what another£200 off the price?

Not too bad for the prebuilt premium I guess.

Don't think anyone should be buying a bronze PSU for a >1k build though

 

[Threepwood]

really good value yes, ocuks recent prebuilds, are stunning imho
the 5700x3d cpu is still a very good cpu, and is a *perfect* match for the 4070 super, so don't fret about that!

 

[pastymuncher]

The supplied psu looks to be a MSI MAG A650BN. This is a bronze rated unit built by CWT who build some very good psu's, however this is at the other end of the scale and is a entry level tier C low end budget psu that uses ChengX and CapXon caps and a sleeve bearing fan that can get very noisy going by the one review I could find. Seeing as this psu can be picked up for less than £48 it doesn't give me much faith in it's quality. As it's only bronze rated and has fixed cables along with the lack of quality internals I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. If you want to go for that pc ask OCUK to switch the psu to something more reputable such as the Asus Tuf 750w that Tetras posted as it's vastly superior.

 

[WARburton]

the price of the 5700x3d is like a yoyo

ive had 2 from ocuk and paid 210 and 195

 

[Guru]

Can you choose not to have Windows on the pre-built systems?

I really like your choice @Tetras, although I would prefer a case without rgb, could you suggest one please?
Cheers, Trev.

It wasn't really meant as a spec, it was just to illustrate the prebuilt versus built cost.

In answer to your question, that case has an RGB ON/OFF button. Some alternatives:

Sorry 2 jump on this but would there be room for another SSD or the big stag hard drives.

Are you referring to OCUK's Mach 3?

The description says it uses MSI B550M Pro-VDH which has 2x M.2 slots and 4x SATA ports, of which one M.2 slot will be already used.

I don't know if OCUK supply the screw for the empty M.2 slot from the motherboard's box, but hopefully they do (or will just pre-attach it to the board).

In regards to a 2.5" SATA drive or 3.5" hard disk, I think the case is a Kolink Observatory HF (that's my best guess) which appears to have a free bay for either of those two.

The power supply (MSI A650BN) should have enough connectors for the extra drive and it is not modular, so they will be attached to the PSU already. I don't know if OCUK will supply a spare SATA data cable with the build, but they're plentiful and cheap to buy.
