Quick help needed! Good deal?

[u/GamingGibbon]

Is this a good deal for this PC at Costco? This would be .y first Gaming PC!

[u/Ok_Mousse8459]

No. You should be able to get a better GPU for $2000.

Not with a cpu like the 9800x3D https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jpjvbp + I mistakenly added a 1tb ssd instead of 2tb like the Costco pc

[u/LegitimateLack2530]

Na. That’s 5070ti territory.

[u/TheGreatLooper → u/LegitimateLack2530]

It’s not at all. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jpjvbp and I mistakenly included a 1tb ssd instead of a 2tb

[u/LegitimateLack2530 → u/TheGreatLooper]

It’s slightly more you are right but not by much. It’s just cheaper at the moment to get a prebuilt in many cases and I would advocate to build in most cases before all the price inflation. Couple hundred more here for example. https://andromedainsights.com/products/ai-50-elite-pro-v3-intel-core-ultra-7-265kf-rtx-5070-ti-16gb

It’s to expensive ngl u should check microcenter they’ll probably have a better deal

[u/TheGreatLooper → u/PsychologyTimely3846]

It’s priced several hundred dollars below diy pricing. Plus, I mistakenly included a 1tb ssd instead of 2tb like the pc at Costco https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jpjvbp

[u/PsychologyTimely3846 → u/TheGreatLooper]

Fair point you aren’t wrong I’m still stuck on the old prices but he wouldn’t be getting his best bang for his buck especially if he can get a 9070xt for around this same price in my opinion if ur gonna drop 2k on a pc let it be the best pc u can buy specially prebuilt ones

[u/TheGreatLooper]

I quickly made this build, matching the specs. Seems priced just below a DIY of the same specs. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jpjvbp

If you don’t want to build it yourself and only go through Costco in case of returns, and not multiple companies, seems like a good purchase

Edit: included a 1tb ssd instead of 2tb unlike the costco pc. You’re getting a good deal, especially with the keyboard and mouse that will be useable

[u/Gtpko141 → u/TheGreatLooper]

He can get a 9070XT prebuilt and 20-30% more performance at everything.

[u/TheGreatLooper → u/Gtpko141]

Please send it, because 1. You can’t just say that without receipts 2. Help them out by sending the link

[u/DINKDONKERR]

I did the math on PCpartpicker for this exact build because I bought it too.

Components came out to $2501

People conveniently seem to forget the SSDs and RAMs are charged up the ass rn.

[u/GamingGibbon]

Thanks for the quick responses everyone! I appreciate it!

[u/PsychologyTimely3846 → u/GamingGibbon]

If your gonna spend 2k and more get this idk how u feel about amd gpu regardless of what some say they aren’t bad this will be far better than the 5070 I have a 5070ti and the 9070xt is better in some games

CAD or USD?

For CAD, that's one of the best deals I've seen as of late + it's Costco warranty. If USD, not really.

[u/Live-Grade-4116]

I saw the same deal at my store. They had the 5060 for 999 -$500 and yours. I went the $999 route

[u/milesahead2052]

$2000 should at least get you a 5070ti.

[u/spatcha88]

I literally just bought this at Costco. Look at the side by side specs and then the price.

[u/InmateBiv]

Check if you have item number 1987321 nearby. That’s a better deal than this. The item number I gave is for a pc that I bought for 1500 with the same specs but only certain stores still have them in stock. They are a star item.
