So the palicomp hellfire has been topped up, which is lovely to see with some nice upgrades.

obvious there is a lot of hate on the nvidia front with the 4000 series prices, but despite what AMD and Nvidia do,
for me its about what the end sellers do with what they have.

So this package despite Nvidia best attempt at organising a new years party in a pub saying goes.
Speaking of which: Happy New Year!. First post of the year.

Its cheaper then Scan UK 4070Ti system, infact its cheaper by £20 then SCAN UK's "3070TI" system, and offers 12400F over a Ryzen 5600 and also had a 750W gold PSU over 550W which makes no sence to me and we have a mesh case, now scan does have afew ranges but again their "elite" ones are even more cost on top base line model.

# So their base model isnt worth it, and their upgrade models aint over their own base models.


Looking into the web more at 4070Ti systems.: Ebuyer kick starts at £2399.99 under the DDR5 platform

however i do not see anywhere despite how lovely they look where the 1G in part value is?.
never mind performance value.

im not seeing anything worth mention elsewhere yet but will keep updated in the post (see comment on awd), majority of builders are more for 3080 system never mind 4070Ti systems speaking of which

palicomp has over stepped over their own feet again. what's there price of 3080 which just happens to be +14 more for a 3080 then 4070Ti system. jesus im surrounded by silly people. however i do have a booster of £300 if anyone wants it, but what's the point of now saving £50 for the 3080 then getting a 4070ti


Hmmm More boosters. - could get interesting; but nope the backdoors aint gonna work on these, because the hellfire 3070 is rock bottom anyways and they are best suited on this, if u do desire ryzen yes i could do them on the ryzen one but its not going beat this - for old timers who know about my old backdoor methods, that is dead here atm. but i always keep checking.

The reviews on:






most majority of YTubers i play in mute and i skip to the juicy performance tables
and then i do my own performance review, if ive not tested the card my self against the price im paying.

The prices on 4000 Series aint as good, so obvious alot of hate, but if u had 1 option of 3070ti 5600 at scan uk £1399.99 vs £1379.99 at palicomp 12400F 4070ti for prebuilt buyers, it shuts up what there saying right?

and that is how it is on alot of things on YT what they say dont actual follow real market situations and most people are prebuilt buyers then self builders.

but this time around we do have the options

1) i have bought u the best affordable 4070Ti = Job done.
2) I have brought u the hellfire at £999.99 for that last gen undercut.
3) We have AWD-IT 6750XT-6800-6800XT pre xmas lines still going.
4) Rad on here brought u the 11400F/3070Ti
5) and then u have that 5800x/3080 HP tire kicking around job. Saturday night hang over build that Type: 3080 on here. price on that been recently good despite what it is, thats a build knowing ur going to a party and knowing ur going to end up in hospital the next day in advance the price of the party is that good and the drinks are amazing price, still u end up going.

So if u want to scrap this 4000Series stuff off you got option to do so, but if ur thinking of boosting them to higher ram, higher case load, higher cooler, higher cpu is the main one, then u might as well hey, and we are around this budget
u might as well just do the GPU on this and back here. so my best advice dont spend much more then G. keep to around a G, it gets alot easier. im talking directly to them, u know who u are. i like what u did with the 1.1k deal..
but the ones what come to me with ive got another 100, maybe 150.

u have seen plenty of 1k deals by me.

obvious u can: increase cpu, increase ram, increase case, increase whatever. and now we got increase gpu again over the 6800xt one we had.

But that is my two penny's but im not you am i, its ur cash so invest correctly in ur system..

#GPU is Preinstalled on this line, and Gen4 is back in, and the PSU GOLD IS TX750.

    Been following your builds quite a bit recently, thank you for all the work you put into this @sarden84 .

    If I were to also go for the i7 12700k would you recommend any further upgrades?

    Edit: Alongside the 4070ti variation (edited)

    For my self id prob go 13600K and then obvious optional to u but makes sence Z690 board which is a big jump but it is a £200 board at half that extra or just under and a must is a BQ Cooler at +40 min.

    "they do have DDR5" but u need to speak to them, some people have got some good deals on DDR5 but there limited as palicomp is a small firm, and i think the board was only another £20 for the DDR5 version, so it was just the gap on DDR5 ram tbh from ddr4 but best to speak to them on live chat or email: sales@palicomp.co.uk

    After reading reviews for Palicomp I tried to make my order over the phone due to the stories of them being out of stock of parts and having to substitute. Unfortunatly the phone was answered by Kevin the teenager who had no interest in making a sale over the phone and advised to just order it online, which I did with the spec on the post above.

    After I ordered I got an email saying:
    - Case I choose was too small (1 subsitute offered which was the original case)
    - They were OOS of the mother board I picked (3 subsitutes offered 1 being the board i choose inc wifi which was an extra £45)
    - The cooler selected wasnt compatible with the CPU I selected (1 substitute cooler offer at an extra £35)
    They also tried to upsell the warranty
    Finally they advised that they recommend I purchase the Qjump as they were very busy and that the lead time would more than likely we over the specified 10 working days.

    At this point I spat my dummy out and had a bit of a rant about my trying to order over the phone to avoid substitutes as I was working to a tight budget and didnt want to spend the extra £80 and that the added wait time didnt suit me. I therefore asked for a refund.

    They emailed back with subsitutes that only ended up costing an extra £2.60 and offered Qjump for free.
    Mobo - ASUS PRIME Z690-P WIFI D4 @ (-£15)
    Case – GAMEMAX F15M Mesh RGB @ (-£17.40)
    Cooler – ARCTIC 240mm ARGB @ (+£35)

    All the above happened on the 16th, by 18th 8.00am the PC was delivered to my front door.

    All packaged very well. As mentioned in other posts the GFX card(Palit branded and its HUUGE) is packed seperatly and you have to fit that yourself. For anyone that isnt confident there is a printed guide included.

    Its all now set up and I am very happy with the build.

    Also another plus they have installed Windows 11 pro even though I didn't choose the +£20 upgrade option.

    Evening Chaps.

    Alot of people have asked me regarding the follow deal so im going to cover it:
    AWD-IT 13400F RTX 4070Ti System.

    Starts at £1449.99

    But im going in for the kill:

    Intel Core i5 13400F 10 Core 16 Thread 4.6GHz Turbo
    Zotac Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Ti 12GB GDDR6X Graphics Card
    MSI MAG Forge M100R Gaming Case
    Asus B660M-A Micro ATX Motherboard
    Arctic Alpine 12 Compact CPU Cooler
    Adata 16GB (2x8GB) 3200Mhz DDR4 Memory
    Gigabyte P750GM 750W Gold Rated PSU
    Western Digital SN770 1TB NVME M.2 PCIe GEN 4 SSD
    1200Mbps Dual Band Internal Dual Antenna Wifi Card

    Price: £1547.97

    Would it be fair to compare to Palicomp 12400F/4070Ti at £1379.99

    Honest answer: not really. In PCPP terms..... We talking £160 CPU to £205 CPU
    I topped up AWD's to gen4 storage. ive topped a wifi to replace wifi board on the palicomp.
    Who cares about windows. eh. not me, prob not u? and if u do. well awd has it loaded just get a code.

    so £1547.97 vs £1379.99 in the same light deal. doesnt look good when u look at the above.

    Palicomp price on the 12400F is exceptional, But its an I5 main stream. just like the 13400F is a main stream i5.
    and main steam I5's are mass produced OEM Lines...

    One is NEW. one is OLD (intel doing deals on new...pig just flew over my head). clearly PCPP isnt upto date with OEM stock. so the gap is going to be much larger in house.

    obvious that is giving some information what happens behind closed doors, but its common info. and u cant diss palicomp for that because they all access to same pool and they all pick up the oem stock rates and clearly it shows one firm is passing them discount on, then keeping it for themselfs but i cant diss AWD because other deals in other areas.

    but what we do have is that the 13400F is a 10Core 16Thread CPU and not 6core 12thread like the previous 12400F and that new 13400F budget challenger of the elite 12600K CPU.

    So to give AWD-IT some credit to compare it to palicomp's 12600K more fairer which would be retail stock.
    and here goes:

    INTEL i5 12600KF - 10 Cores 16 Thread
    ADATA 16GB DDR4 3200Mhz
    ASUS B660M WIFI Motherboard
    WD 1TB SN770 M.2 nVME GEN4
    GAMEMAX F15M MESH
    NVIDIA RTX4070TI 12GB
    CORSAIR 750w GOLD TX750
    MICROSOFT Windows 10/11

    Price: £1515.99 when u upgrade this link we are speaking on

    and if you was to put both in the line of sight: 32GB Corsair 3600mhz.

    AWD +69.99 VS Palicomp +99.99

    Total price: £1617.99 vs 1615.99

    13400F VS 12400F

    49272638_1.jpg

    49272638_1.jpg



    obvious we are talking base to base., each firm has its own little extra on top what might suit that individual user.
    AWD might have a cooler someone likes or palicomp might too
    Case edit via a phone call on the awd, to what can palicomp can offer on site.
    perhaps u need it with windows licence as ur worried over spilit milk
    perhaps ur in agreement with what im saying on the 12600K vs 13400F but u im going for 13600K at that even £75 again at palicomp
    Palicomp has Z board on site, AWD phone call.

    Each CPU 12600K VS 13400F has its own strength, so whats the videos and see which matters most to you.


    perhaps u dont care about gen4 storage, and awd has cheaper gen3 options, perhaps u dont need wifi and u can throw that in the bin on the awd., and perhaps on the awd u dont care about 32GB 3600mhz and awd has the cheaper 32gb 3200mhz

    Bottom line is: Palicomp 12400F = incredible value.
    Other CPU's absolutely still in the making vs other system builders and this is where the AWD 13400F sits in that area too.

    because otherwise its £1599.99 for 13400F H610 RTX 4070TI at scan uk and that is the build u pick up, u go to dover, and u throw it over the cliff.


    AWD-IT does have an alt, in the same changed method but 5700x and its £1526 which is obvious classic 8core 16Thread, and i cant give any credit to the 5600x what that link starts with as that is classic 6core 12thead which then i have directly compare to the 12400F on the palicomp which obvious id to directly compare it and be 1476 vs 1379 but awd 5700x is 8core is in another league but obvious still out beaten by 13400F stil, which also brings me onto AWD-IT 5800X3D at £110 more then the 5700X in that link which obvious would be comparable to palicomp 13600K 12700K ++ ranges which im not going into that league today

    So AWD at first didnt look impressive, when u compare it to this, spec not the ryzen ones, but that intel 13400F has open my eyes a little bit more when i really tucked away more in depth then ever into it, and thrown PCPP threw the window. (edited)

    Do palicomp use reference cards or aftermarket?
    ktown's avatar
    ktown
    No reference 4070ti atm. My palicomp build from a few years back was the lowest tier Palit card. I had some issues with black screens when running Gpu intensive programmes or games but I think that was due to the poor Psu they used rather than the card. I’ve since put the 2060 super into another system and it works great. (edited)

    Welcome back Sarden84. I think the headline of the deal should be corrected, it currently says Intel 12400F and it should say Intel i5-12400F. Very minor but some people may assume that because it has a relatively high end GPU (around £800 worth) then it might have an i7 CPU. So good to make that distinction in the headline I reckon.

    Received my system today, was a little concerned the box was filled with component boxes but soon realised that was just to stop the case from moving! I was surprised that the GPU wasn't installed onto the motherboard and I didn't realise there was so little fans on the case ( I don't know anything about computer airflow so it may be a better designed case than my 6800XT lenovo tower, looks cheaper though by a lot). Also not impressed that I paid for same day build next day dispatch and they didn't dispatch for a further 3 days. Seems good and is benchmarking well, have let palicomp know my issues with their service and shall review them on TrustPilot once they've had the chance to attempt to rectify any of my issues. For the price though it is certainly hard to beat and the case and motherboard have a lot of room for upgrades later down the road.

    -Highheels-
    oh that's not great, I've just put an order in. I assume you'll be refunded for the q-jump? I only added it to get the care free 3 year warranty really. I don't want to have to pay to post it back to them if anything goes wrong.

    depends on stock

    The first batch they had is sold, however they have another batch of 4070Ti tomorrow for people who have orderd.
    # limited.

    So will depend on cards tbh and which cards during the month.

    prices of 4070ti are quite vast between various of brands tbh as well.

    Price looks very tempting, but make sure that you are happy with their quite low Trustpilot score. This is one of the reviews:

    "sent cheaper parts then told me since this was in T&C's it was acceptable. Also that I would have to pay for return." (edited)

    There was a issue with RM lines overload with TX but its been sorted.
    and the ram is stated on post as ADATA which ive done and contacted.

    SN770 is in, but weekly orders in are not as good as 3070 ranges, so they are making people a nice offer on the S70 to share the load if people desire and that helps broad range but if u decline people are getting what they ordered.

    there just trying to share the items with offers as its been another hit.

    Thanks Sarden84! I've just pulled the trigger on this DDR5 altered spec following a chat with Palicomp's customer service:

    INTEL Hellfire (ALD1)

    Case - GameMax F15M MESH
    CPU - INTEL Core i5 13600KF
    Cooler - ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II - 240mm ARGB - (WATER)
    Motherboard - Asrock Z790 PG RIPTIDE
    RAM - ADATA XPG Lancer RGB 2x16 DDR5 6000Mhz = +£175.00
    SSD - 1TB WD Black SN770 M.2 NVMe - 5150MB/s(R)-4900MB/s(W) - GEN4
    Graphics 4070ti (either Palit or Zotac)
    PSU - CORSAIR 850W 80+ GOLD
    WINDOWS 11 - 64Bit Pro

    + £60.00 collect and return, part cover 3 years, win 11 pro upgrade, free headset and webcam, os tuning, cable management.

    £2115.99

    I priced it up for self build and was only very slightly cheaper, I though it'd be a nice luxury for someone else to build it for me this time

    They are currently out of stock of the slightly cheaper CoolerMaster 240L RGB cooler.

    Mid-life crisis RGB on everything! This thing's going to look like a mobile disco

    There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it. All the reviews I've watched take issues with Nvidia's pricing policy and not the card itself. There's also a lot of disgruntled Youtubers out there who are taking the opportunity to voice there opinion, bandwagon-style.

    If you look at the information they're supplying (rather than what they're saying), it's still a decent card. As soon as they found out it was a rebadged 4080 12GB card, I can imagine they all had their scripts planned out before they started testing.

    Nvidia have priced the card to fit in with it's place on the performance curve because they had to get it out somehow. From what I can tell, it's not "not good".

    Come on, Palicomp, keep up, the AWD-IT deal has a 13400f paired with a 4070TI, which performs only a little bit worse than the i7 12600K while consuming less power, albeit that 12600K upgrade includes integrated graphics which in some situations is useful. (not saying I'd prefer the AWD-IT; your only option is the Gigabyte PSU).

    To put things in perspective, Palicomp charge £146 for the Core i5 12600K - 10 Cores - 16 Threads upgrade, where the retail i5 13400F is only around £40 more than the retail 12400f!

    Much more to it mate.

    Lets take this 12400F at £1379.99 i did and compare it to AWD-IT 13400F

    but what we need to

    1) ignore the palicomp got windows.
    2) put the awd into SN770... 16GB 3200mhz to begin with.

    13400F / B660 M (sep wifi card added) / 16GB 3200mhz / mech case £1547.96

    Were not bothered about windows, Same level ish MATX one has wifi, one added a wifi card.
    16GB 3200mhz. Same case level.

    ur right about the price jump on the 13400F but what we got in price terms is £1379.99 -> 1547.96
    thats a gap of 167.

    so TBH i can get palicomp into a 12600K at £146.... t

    =1379.99+146 =1525

    more then likely palicomp has a super rate on the OEM Clearance lines on 12400F
    and because the 12600K isnt OEM its not as good of rate.

    they are a small firm who buy end of line items, so i think that is what is being reflect here as usual and their strength.
    sometimes u have to look beyond retail price.

    Palicomp 12600K is marginal cheaper then AWD 13400F
    AWD does come back if u take it to 32GB (edited)

    Recently received a 6800XT pre-build Legion Tower from Amazon last month at roughly £1300, I have now scheduled a return as the AMD build couldn't even handle Destiny 2 at 120fps 1440p and sometimes dipped as low as 60fps and for that price and hardware I was mortified. Hopefully for the little bit extra, plus I paid to Q JUMP as I didn't want to be without hardware for 10 days+ this should meet those expectations and last me much longer (future proofed GPU at least)

    Sorry to hear about the Legion. Sounds like a good move, I suspect you'll have a lot of fun with this one. I'm trying to put myself off with sour grapes that they don't have an i5 13400 upgrade option but damn, it's so tempting! Surely I would burn as many calories with this, kind of, as with the rowing machine that's also tempting me!

    For all the poop they get here, I've never had an issue with them. I purchased 3times from them including a GPU. They even sorted out some AMD game codes despite my purchase falling out of promo. (edited)

    I went for a S C A N one (they who must not be named) for £1600 with the Zotac gpu. Whilst mine had a bell or whistle extra, this looks to be a far better deal. Great job Op and I'll be keeping an eye on Palicomp in the future!

    Very tempted but also now wondering whether to wait a month for new AMD X3D CPU releases end of Feb, splash a bit more cash and invest in DDR5 setup.

    Question is how much more cash do we think this will be and will ddr4 deals drop significantly by then?

    I've waited for over a year now already, my 10 year old i7 3970x / gtx690 rig still chugging along so another month or 2 won't be an issue for me

    I dont know the answer the first but based on previous data. AMD isnt supported on OEM lines on such initial.
    so there will be build fees onto retail part basis.

    obvious prebuilt may still be better due to "cards" atm 4070Ti cards are up/down in respect of versions.

    for example the 13400F AWD one i did, isnt anything special on the cpu offer, so that be like the AMD QS u asked.
    but we got a card with a better rate then available to the market.

    DDR4 has dropped, has dropped more then u think, but two thing have happen:

    its help prebuilt system builders to hide build fees vs PCPP.
    vs
    greedy ones what aint able to profit more.

    they prebuilt has a build fee. some firms charge more then others.

    if i ever do a line which is bang on part rate and looks like no build fees, something has happen behind closed doors.

    could mean the self market gets it later, but could also mean it never gets it later.

    if my deals are part by part basis, something is happening somewhere.

    and that pretty much answer ur first Qs on that new part, its not going to be supported unless they use the new with something which is supportive.

    DDR5 will improve and will slowly get better, self/pre. will and how like the cpu be in a supportive item to be top knock deal or is it just going to be a build whats fair charge build over self build methods. (edited)

    No it's an RTX 4070 Ti which is a very decent GPU indeed.

    Overkill for 1440p? I have the dell oled 34"

    Probably a fantastic future proof 1440p card. 4K gaming is vastly superior and more stable on console in my opinion as well (probably down to optimisation and wizardry)

    Great, but would there be any bottleneck when running under 2k or 1080p.
    WASD-IT's avatar
    WASD-IT Author
    Yes there will be on the lower CPU option, unless u have the fastest CPU out: there is going to always be a bottleneck in some light and even then when u compare to future generations of cpus in some methods: Thats the world we live in.

    despite the form of bottle in them 1080 it would still out perform alt deals with higher CPU's

    very good QS mate, very serious one that.

    if i took the 1379.999+40BQ = 1420 the challenger to that is:

    # 5800X3d + 16GB + 1TB Gen 3 + B560 + wifi Link1 Link2 + unactivated windows (add cooler into same basket) 1410

    that is a serious 1080 Challenger.

    Eh the 4070 ti is out? lol, was this very recent? That one slipped me by lol
    Do you think self-builders could get a similar deal cheaper?

    Damn I wish I needed to upgrade lol
