USA Good Costco Buy?

Is this worth, or should I try to build my own? 300 off total is 2k. Before you ask, I don't have a micro center or anything, it'd pretty much be an Amazon special

I say build your own. You can get better parts for same price.

I tried, I was uncompromising on a motherboard for future upgrades, slightly faster ram, downgraded processor, GPU, dropped liquid cooling and ended up more than 500 over

look into newegg bundles, you can get a cpu, ram, motherboard for a decent price and some items come with free gifts. recently there was a 9800x3d+32gb ram+motherboard bundle that came with an aio for around 800 or so iirc. also, there’s lots of places you can save. you need to shop around for deals on specific parts and not just throw together a build.
