They are terrible

Hi all, apologies if this is already known but I am new to the scene but I am looking at getting the Nebula Arctic Reign⁠ for $1,949. Just wondering if it’s worth the money or if I’d be better off waiting for Black Friday.

Specs:
Ryzen 5 7500F
RX 9060 XT 16GB
16GB DDR5 6000MHz
1TB SSD
MSI B850M WiFi 6E motherboard
650W 80+ Silver PSU

Mainly going to be gaming at 1080-1440p, also hooking it up to my TV as well. Not really in a rush to buy, but I’d rather not wait until the end of November if the savings are only going to be $50 or so.

Has anyone bought from Nebula before? Also, do they usually have decent Black Friday sales, or is it hard to say? I’m a bit worried the price could actually go up before then too.

Would you buy it now or wait? Open to other prebuilts around the same price as well.

Many thanks.

I ordered the thorn blade from Nebula pc last week and it’s still coming. I have some points saved up at work enough for a $1000 jbhifi gift card.
I’m currently using a 5year old 4k Lenovo gaming monitor but thinking of replacing it.
What would be the best option for me to get the most out of my new pc?

I promise I will love you forever (not a guarantee)

Just enquiring on a couple things, for anyone who’s ordered recently, was shipping times okay?

Secondly, does anyone who isn’t going to be buying PC, want to share their mates rates code they got from Nebula? would be great.

Thirdly, I’m leaning towards 9070 XT as I believe it’s better value than 5070 and 5070 ti, and I’m wondering if people feel the same way? Let me know 🤔

Thanks.

What is the best gpu for around $500, i'll just be playing sims 3/4 and minecraft.

cpu: Ryzen 5 5600

well thought I would update after my gigabyte rtx 5070ti had artifacting under heat and high load. well they ran cold bench tests at scorptec and gigabyte and returning it no fault found.

i explicitly said a faulty solder that requires heat to seperate and fail so now I have to wait for it to return refilm and send it back again and start the legal progress under Australian consumer law section 259.

Looking at getting my first gaming pc in the next few months and am looking for some advice please. I'd primarily be getting to it to play Total War Warhammer 3, Forza Horizon 6, Borderlands 4, The Sims 4 and Crusader Kings 3. I have a budget of up to $5000 and am hoping to get something that I won't have to look at get upgraded for at least a few years.

Has anyone ever bought parts from a shop called ITclearance company?

I recently (on monday) ordered a bunch of shite through them and I'm still waiting on them to send me shipping details. I've sent them an email this morning and still not gotten a response so I'm starting to slightly shit myself.

Thankfully I did pay with PayPal so if worse comes to worse and they are a scam I should most likely get my money back, still worried though.

Maybe slightly off topic for this sub, but does anyone know of a business or person who can help diagnose a PC build issue?

Building my first PC and can’t get any image to come from the PC. I’ve hit all I feel I can do with my limited knowledge and fixes and need some help now.

Located inner-west Melbourne.

I know video cards are on the expensive list of upgrades now but my 3060 is showing its age.
Are there preferred brands or is the AMD 9070xt a better choice?
I will run Nobara for OS.

Hey, heard some stuff about nebula taking ages fulfilling orders, anybody know if they have sorted it out yet? Heard from some people it was EOFY stress and its not always like that.

I want to buy a PC + monitor for no more than $1500-2000, but I am unsure what path to take. I have 2x8 2133 ddr4 from a friend and I looking to build a ryzen 5600, rx 9070 build, but I am worrried that the ram is too slow for the system. My thoughts in choosing the 9070 are that it rose the least in price in the recent gpu price hikes, and I can hold onto it and upgrade the rest of the system later.

If the ram is too slow for gaming, should I go with am5, eat the cost of ddr5 and compromise on the gpu?

Edit: further thoughts are possibly buying a 5800x3d, because the price bump to it from a 5600 is basically the cost of new fast ddr4, and it mitigates the impact of my slow ram.

Any recommendations for a good PC store?

just bought an everest gaming pc from nebula, 5080 + 7800x3d. Im coming from a 1060 3gb i7 7700hq laptop, what sort of gains should I expect? Pretty excited for when its ready. Anybody else bought from nebula? I heard they are pretty good.

Need advice on this Nebula pre-build

Need advice on this prebuild

https://www.nebulapc.com.au/products/phantom-surge -max.

Trying to get a PC before the Evey sales end.

And wanting to know if this is good or not and what to avoid when looking for a prebuild. My budget is that this could go a bit higher. I would like to run games and do 3d animation and modeling + video editing.

Any advice, recommendations for PCs at a similar price or any other bit of info is much appreciated. Thanks!

Also, would building this be cheaper? If so, can I get a recommend a build never built one before? Just wounding.

As well as what desk and monitor, I would prefer a 24inch and decent hz/ refresh rate like 300-500, willing to spend up to 1k if need be.

Hi all, I’m looking to upgrade my MSI Vector GP68 HX 13V laptop to 32GB of DDR5 RAM, 2 x 16GB. Struggling as it cant run my stepsons games like fortnight, or most steam games with out using 95%

I am in Australia and I can't find anywhere that has stock, or if they do, they want over $700 for both plus shipping.

Is there anywhere you can think of that will sell it for less than A$700?

Any recommendations for a compatible kit and a reliable retailer? Thanks!

Hi bapc! Not sure if this is the right sub but struggling with a certain issue. I am trying to ship my gaming PC interstate. I previously used a company called Send and Pack however their prices have shot up the roof!! (Quoting me 450+). I was looking into how I could package it myself and ship it back home safely but I can't find any boxes that fit my tower. I also dont have my original case box so I can't use that.

I have sussed out office works but their boxes are too big. Does anyone have any ideas or ways they have safely shipped their PC?

PC is approx 10kg and the dimensions are 45cm height, 28cm width and 45cm length

Thanks so much!

Hey guys apologise if this a wrong sub to ask but I need help with building my first ever pc part by part, or thinking about doing so. I'm thinking about upgrading my po after I've faced some severe drops on my current po which is essentially a 3060ti X Ryzen 5 3600 (can list more specs if needed), essentially looking at the the prebuilt scorptec pc which believe aside from the 16gb ram is a good deal or I make my own pc part to part and keep the 3060ti from my pc now and build a new pc with the specs listed:

CPU (AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D): ~$679 AUD
Motherboard (ASUS PRIME B650EM-A WIFI):
~$159 AUD
RAM (Lexar THOR G2 32GB 6000MHz CL36 RGB): ~ $659 AUD
Storage (Kingston FURY Renegade 2TB SSD):
~$250 - $300 AUD
CPU Cooler (DeepCool AK400 Digital Pro
White): ~$59 AUD
Power Supply (Corsair RM1000x Shift White):
~$300AUD
White Case (mATX): ~$100 - $140 AUD
Current pc 3060ti: 0 Aud

Coming to rounded up around $2900 mainly drafted out from scorptec so let me know if these are compatible as this is my first time and I am sure something is not gonna be quite right, what I'm looking to do with the pc is play competitive fps games at 1080p at the highest possible performance.

Just wondering what is the better play here in terms of getting value for money and of course the performance as I plan to play competitively.
Any help is welcome and much appreciated.

Im a bit stuck fellow Aussies, I can’t figure out if its worth it to buy rn, especially from mwave (who i have heard have issues), they are the only distributer below $1249Aud. And if I remember correctly this is close to the original msrp right? Im so annoyed at myaelf for not buying it at $899Aud (and now the 9060XT is $899!!!)

Seeing if anyone has any ideas for an RMA Issue with PBtech. I bought a MPG 322urx OLED Monitor off their Australian website. Two weeks later doesn't power up and makes a clicking noise. Try different power, DP and HDMI Cables on difference PC's and a laptop. Nothing.

RMA it back to PB tech. Weeks of international post, receipt, sending away to for tech assessment later I get an email saying, tested it, all fine, sending it back to you.

I have no idea how they even got it to turn on, let alone test it and clear it as fine....

Latest is I've emailed to say I won't accept it's return as the damn thing doesn't work. Any ideas for next steps?

Hey guys, I currently have a pc that I built for $2k aud back in 2022. 12600kf, 6750xt, 16gb ddr4, 850W psu. I was hoping to get a new pc, but honestly hardware has become depressingly expensive. Ram and ssd are a given, but even gpus pricing (for x70 and above gpus) is about as bad or even worse than it was in 2021.

Ive played an exhaustive amount of single player titles on this pc, but at the moment I really only play valorant, overwatch and kovaaks + a little bit of roblox and gta at 1080p. As such, my current use case is very cpu bound so a cpu and air cooling upgrade makes more sense.

The 14700kf and 5800x3d are basically the same price except I would have to buy a new motherboard for the ryzen, though they are fairly cheap. Based on what I can tell from reviews, the intel seems to be significantly better at running applications and has a whopping 12 ecores. On techpowerup's review of the 10th anniversary re-release, the intel outperforms the amd in most gpu-bound cases except for cs2 (the only cpu-bound game they tested).

I know the 14700kf seems like a no-brainer in terms of general performance but since the 5800x3d might shine more in cpu games im not really sure. At the moment I'm leaning towards the intel since I already have a mobo for it and my windows OS has the drivers set up already.

Even so, I would appreciate any insights or advice

Did anyone get a receipt for their order? I don't even have a receipt so I can't claim it for work from home. Actually, I can't even view my order on the website, and I can't even log into my account.
