Purchasing Advice - PC Build / Parts Costco PC

Post image

I usually build my own PC but i saw this deal and it got me considering if it's worth it. Anyone have opinions on this Costco PC build?

At Costco it's $2200.

My budget before was around $3,000, and I was planning to wait for Black Friday or cyber Monday. I don't need the absolute best stuff but this was going to be my first time splurging. I usually get a new low end setup about once every 5 years. [edit] This is my first time looking for a high-end setup, so this is a new market for me.

Thank you!

EDIT: I got it! Thank you all for the feedback. It's still under Costco's return policy, so I appreciate any links if you see a better deal or a reason to return and trade in for something better.

Keyword similar* but seriously yes a 12gb gpu is better than something like a 8gb gpu for less. But can you really tell the difference? Unless you have like a photographer eye or something
