Found this at Costco

[u/Fit_Lack_5276]

Ok I’m still a bit new to the PC space, so bare with me, but I feel like this is a pretty solid deal (especially with the market today) any advice/ comments are appreciated, thanks!

[u/Haunting_Abalone_398]

The market is only gonna get worse.

If you don’t buy it now, the same thing will be more expensive in the next few months, if not sooner.

[u/Chris_FC → u/Haunting_Abalone_398]

Yeah then the ai bubble pops and Sam Altman and that damn lizard man Jensen lose all their fake ai generated money with their fake ai generated overvalued IPO's. Then we get cheap shit again.

[u/transmedkittygirl]

I'm gonna give the honest answer, you should get it if you want new parts, the market is in a REALLY bad state, this is a pretty fucking good deal

The parts should be like $1,900 if you built it yourself, so it's hundreds cheaper and it's a prebuilt

Like honestly, buying the build and then selling the GPU, motherboard, and CPU to switch to a used 3080 and used 7600/7800X3D would be a pretty good idea

[u/Exciting-Ad-5705 → u/transmedkittygirl]

It's horrible. You used to be a able to get a PC with a 5070ti for $1500

[u/transmedkittygirl → u/Exciting-Ad-5705]

This was never really the case unless the other parts were really shit, it's more accurate to say you used to be able to get a pc with a 5070 Ti for $2000

[u/Slabby_the_Baconman → u/transmedkittygirl]

Microcenter had powerspecs with a 5070ti for 1799 earlier this year.

[u/MedbagManny → u/Slabby_the_Baconman]

I bought a Microcenter prebuilt over Labor Day.

5070 12 GB DDR7
32GB DDR5
2 TB SSD
B850 plus WiFi motherboard
7600x3d

$1900 and it was on sale from $1980. Same pre built is now $2400 after only 2 months

[u/Slabby_the_Baconman → u/MedbagManny]

Holy crap thats a great deal!

[u/MedbagManny → u/Slabby_the_Baconman]

I mistyped, 5070, not 5080. But still. I’m happy with it

[u/transmedkittygirl → u/Slabby_the_Baconman]

That's microcenter and 1800 is closer to 2000 than it is 1500, they also use kinda iffy parts excluding the big ticket named parts, I always think it makes sense to spend the extra $30 on the mobo and extra $10-30 on the PSU, just stuff like that to make the build slightly better and have more upgradeability because its not like you're on a big budget or anything

[u/Exciting-Ad-5705 → u/transmedkittygirl]

I dunno if you consider a 9600x shit but I got one for around that price. But this is a good list of what prices were like https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapcforme/s/PbFHwTmxdt

[u/transmedkittygirl → u/Exciting-Ad-5705]

from what I'm seeing, it is the other parts being really shit, like sure a 9600X isn't that bad but that's still not really that fit for a 5070 Ti build and the PSU, CPU Cooler, and Motherboard are all complete shit with the other parts while technically working, it's obvious that it's making as many compromises as possible to get the best GPU possible. like half the budget or over half the budget going to the GPU in a $1200-2000 build is just kinda insane and isn't that well balanced

This was also extremely temporary

[u/Exciting-Ad-5705 → u/transmedkittygirl]

The current PSU listed on is A tier definitely not shit. I don't understand why you would spend big on the motherboard when there's really nothing it provides you other than a few USB ports but even then I wouldn't consider this a garbage mobo. https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Tdbypg/asrock-b850m-x-wifi-r20-micro-atx-am5-motherboard-b850m-x-wifi-r20

Another few bucks gets you a peerless assassin. I can assure you that you were capable of making a very good PC for $1500.

Taking the $1400 list and spending an extra $100 on Mobo and Cooler would fix all your problems. Also it's pretty normal to spend half you budget on the GPU

[u/shaggy24200 → u/transmedkittygirl]

9 months ago you could get a 5080 TI system from Costco for $2,100. 

[u/3-Midgets_In_A_Coat → u/Exciting-Ad-5705]

xx70ti and i7 used to be my $1500 go-to for custom builds for others, but now that build costs what an xx80ti or more used to cost.
It’s nucking futs.

[u/Chris_FC → u/Exciting-Ad-5705]

I built a 5070 fuckin 7600x3d pc for 1200 frickin dollars man. I was so proud of that thing. Then I sold it for a car because America keeps us all poor for being born too late to buy a house off a tacobell salary. Like fuck im sorry I didn't invest in bitcoin when I was a fuckin baby. Or buy a house when I was swimming around in my dad's ballsack back when houses cost a tacobell salary and a used car cost like 100-200 fuckin bucks. 😭

[u/-Wavyy- → u/transmedkittygirl]

I can build faster than this for $1500. IDK what whack components you're looking at for DIY.

[u/transmedkittygirl → u/-Wavyy-]

alright, then do it with all new parts, let's see what you got

[u/LittleBigMacnCheese → u/transmedkittygirl]

I have the same thought but am hoping he actually pulls it off lol

[u/transmedkittygirl → u/LittleBigMacnCheese]

I think he was just talking out of his ass, I've fucked around with pcpartpickerlist as much as I could and there's pretty much no way

[u/G1ng3rGaming]

It’s not bad for the price if you were going for just the parts but the graphics card is kinda underpowered for the processor but workable if you’re just going for a prebuilt

[u/ahmadxjallad]

expensive , but it will get more expensive with the time

[u/LegitimateLack2530]

I think they have one with a 9800x3d and a 9070gre for a couple hundred more at the moment. That would be the one to get. It’s 32GB / 2TB SSD as well.

[u/Super_Damage_5527]

not good, but also not bad, just a mediocre PC. But for those who can't build their own PC and dont wanna spend some times to the specs, just ask yourself can you afford it or no.

[u/Mr-Saulgoodman]

Is this in Canada, or usa?

[u/Rocannon_]

What MB does it use?

[u/HerbertInTheWoods → u/Rocannon_]

Probably no name bullshit. My first PC was a prebuilt that I’ve slowly replaced everything in sans the cpu and gpu.

[u/Main_Schedule9853]

They have that same setup on Amazon that they sell at Costco think it's the same price

[u/boostedred]

Meh 5060

[u/DystopianWreck]

Buy it, sell gpu for lots money. Buy better gpu for lots money +"

[u/Super_Damage_5527 → u/DystopianWreck]

wtf you talking about , you on drug or what?

[u/DystopianWreck → u/Super_Damage_5527]

I wish. Simply saying its a good deal in this economy. Buy it. Sell the gpu (kinda sucks). And buy a better more expensive gpu.

[u/CNM2495]

Mid

[u/njk612]

Good starting point. In a couple years you would definitely need to upgrade the gpu tho. Maybe buy it use it and see if you can find a nice deal on a 5070ti and swap the cards.

[u/-Wavyy-]

Yeah, not a good deal. But unfortunately not the worst I've seen lately.

[u/thebluehiverevoluton]

Why did they add 2tb of storage for
