I found this MATX PC at Harvey Norman for $2000 and it has a i7-14700 and a RTX 3050, totally not a bottle neck

Sure, that’s part of the problem. But people not doing their own research is much more the problem.
In the age of information people still refuse to just do a 2-minute Google search.
Not a scam, please look up what the word actually means.
Definitely a ripoff
Let’s be honest all major retailers who sell you Prebuilts are ass. Be it HN or JB Hifi.
Not a scam, but definitely a ripoff.
Well. No shit. It’s Harvey Norman. Aka. Australias worst store, and trying hard for worst person as well.
Go to any other place, they don’t deserve your money.
fuck australia when it comes to gaming pc’s and laptops in general. I love living here but this kind of bullshit is way too normal.
Wow that’s shockingly close to what I spent for my ryzen 9900x3d, 64 gigs of ram, 5070 ti, and the liquid cooler. What a titanic scam. I did ultimately give up on finding a halfway reasonably priced prebuilt but this is definitely the worst I’ve seen.
Shop with confidence that you pay too much
Hopefully no one ever buys it for that price.
If you have a way to buy from the US or Canada, Best Buys “Black Friday in July” is around the corner just wait a bit, I coped mine through that and there’s usually nice deals, y’all Aussies get fucked by taxes
Think they meant 219.9
Whoever made that price must owe money to a cartel or something. That’s OUTRAGEOUS!!!
what in the fuck. I vastly overpaid for my PC that has better parts.
What the actual heck
As someone who used to work there, that’s the least shady thing they do.
Probably these aren’t Freedom Dollars. Still a ripoff
Boomers shop, advertise like crazy on boomer AM / Murdoch press. Zero sympathy for people that get ripped off by them.
Last time I did find a decent deal from them online they used a dot matrix printer for the receipt. In 2024.
I wonder the Australian OG version has the same program as the ones in Malaysia where they price match the lowest advertised price for the items sold in HN?
Wow..
Hardly Normal
A bad deal is not the same thing as a scam. Stop confusing the two things, they are not the same.
What does the replacement plan cover?
are those US Dollars? o_O
My local Harvey Norman was slinging HD7750 “gaming pc’s” in 2018 for $2499+
Their PC department (and furniture department for that matter) has always been a scam.
(The HD7750 at the time was a 6 year old GPU worth less than $80)
Harvey Norman prices tend to build in all their ‘0% interest free’ overheads
That’s a pretty big rip off
What 🙏 💔🥀💀
I’m not sure about different pricing of parts but this is why doing it yourself is way better and satisfying
Shop with ~~confidence~~ ignorance
But you don’t get it, you get 3k worth of warranty, you’re scamming yourself not buying this banger of a deal.
Hey OP
The kicker has to be the $700 2 yr warranty bonus.
Ive been out of hardware tech for a while, so whats exactly wrong with it.
With that budget you could get an 9800x3d paired with 9070xt and 32gb Ram plus some additional money for a good monitor
Why is there an extra 9 at the end of that price?
Shop with the confidence that you are being scammed
Can we not normalise calling bad value deals scams. A scam is when you’ve been lied to or deceived in some way. An offer being honest with what you get, just overpriced, isn’t a scam even if the price isn’t competitive.
Actually not a bad deal! People take for granted how much – *checks notes* – Nitro Sense costs these days!
Can you build such shitty PCs and people will buy them?
You ever go to easyhome??? My first PC was from them, my mom got me it a Christmas present, not mnowing much about computers. she paid 1500 in lease price total. It had a Ryzen 2400G, an RX550, and 8GB of SINGLE CHANNEL 2444MHZ ram.
I guess the 2tb hdd proves useful though…
Wtf
HDD size is a 1TB SSD… makes sense
I’m scared my pc was
Harvery Norman “Shop With Confidence” (that we will dry fuck you in the ass)
Never forget the Old mate Gerry took Millions in Covid funding that he never needed. Cunt hasn’t paid it back either!
You definitely need a lot of confidence asking that amount of money for such a piece of junk
Must have been made by celestefleurs
Shop with confidence that it’s going to be a rip off.
HN has always been a scam. Never ever shop there.
