  • Ragnarok Gaming PC in Corsair Graphite 780T Black

    Ragnarok Gaming PC in Corsair Graphite 780T Black

    This customer’s order surprised us a little – weighing in at a little over $14,000 in total (includes 3x 34″ 3440×1440 G-Sync 144Hz monitors, a keyboard, and a mouse) with the PC costing over $9,000 by itself.

    With the last many months bringing very noticeable price rises to PC hardware, creating hard hitting stock shortages, everyone in the industry has experienced a lower amount of orders than typical for the time of year, but with news that there’s no true end in sight, and rumours of continued price rises for the rest of 2018, this customer’s purchase made a lot of sense… No point waiting an entire year to buy your next PC when you can buy it now!

    But, I hear you, what kind of specs do you get in a PC for $9k even?! Well, this particular customer didn’t have any questions for us before hand, and put together the following configuration that they ordered (only main components listed):

    Asus X299 ROG STRIX X299-E, i7 7820X 8-core 4.3GHz, Corsair H110i, 64GB DDR4, Samsung 500GB 960 Evo M.2, Samsung 1TB 960 Evo M.2, 4TB HDD, 2x Asus GTX 1080 TI ROG STRIX, Blu-Ray writer, 1200W PSU. (more…)

    Enjoy the photos!

  • Burnout Paradise Remastered [Later this year]

    Burnout Paradise Remastered [Later this year]

    We don’t usually post about games that were released 10 years ago, buuuut had to make an exception when Electronic Arts announced that Burnout Paradise would be getting a remastered release for current-gen consoles, followed by a PC release later this year, all in (up to) glorious 4K graphics.

    It could be better news, it could be a new Burnout title entirely, but I’m sure many nostalgic gamers will welcome a straight up remastering that cannot be held victim to any butchering, and just promise some quality gameplay and a walk down memory lane. Speaking of, screenPLAY did their thoughts on the announcement over on YouTube, as well as some other discussions of games being remastered or re-imagined…

    The game will reportedly include all the DLC from the original title.

  • Battlefield 1: Apocalypse [Out Now]

    Battlefield 1: Apocalypse [Out Now]

    16 months after it’s original release back in October of 2016, Battlefield 1 is still getting fresh content and it’s not just hats and horse armor! Still one of the best looking FPS titles available with frequent updates and huge community of active players, the Apocalypse expansion contains 5 new maps, 7 new weapons, new aircraft, new gadgets, new assignments, new unlocks and an entirely new game mode.

    Free for premium pass owners, which if you are at all a Battlefield fan is well worth the money at this point with a huge array of great content and at as of right now is on sale for only $18 over on Origin.

    New maps include the iconic Belgium countryside battle of Passchendaele, the mountains of what was once Austria-Hungary (now Slovenia) at the battle of Caporetto and the shores of the River Somme in northern France.

    The entirely new game mode of Air Assault comes with two maps of it’s own. One that takes place of the skies of London and another over snowy mountainous peaks called Razors Edge. This game mode probably won’t be for everyone, the aircraft controls can be tricky at the best of times and it’s a big departure from how the game plays out on the ground but for a percentage of Battlefield fans it’s sure to be exactly what they are looking for.

    If you’ve been meaning to jump in to Battlefield 1 but still haven’t got around to it, there’s never been a better time. If your old gaming PC is struggling to keep up or you always wonder what your missing out on by not being able to crank all the visual settings up to max? Maybe it’s time you looked in to a new gaming PC? 100% fully custom options are available now at evatech.com.au and for Battlefield 1 at high settings / 1080P we would recommend an i5, GTX 1070 TI and 16GB of RAM. If you want to go all out at 1440P or 4K, you can stick with 16GB of RAM still but 1080TI will be your best bet for the best possible frame rates.

  • Ragnarok Gaming PC in Corsair Air 540 Black

    Ragnarok Gaming PC in Corsair Air 540 Black

    While it’s not the most expensive PC we’ve ever built, it is just enough to make it the new most expensive PC of this year. Coming in at $11,500 this is sure to make our NSW based customer extremely happy for years to come. No expense was spared when it came to the items that really count when it comes to performance.

    It has the best Intel CPU; an i9 18 core at up to 4.4GHz costing just under $3,000 itself, 128GB of DDR4 RAM; the most a consumer grade PC can have right now, a healthy 1TB of SSD storage in the lightening fast M.2 format opposed to the slower SATA, and then not one but two of the best Nvidia gaming graphics cards; GTX 1080 TI OC.

    We trust that no matter the task, this PC is more than capable of completing it in the best possible way. But now onto the pictures! We wanted to showcase how RGB lights can really give a build a different look and character to match whatever your mood or environment. Enjoy.
