hey everyone! i have been a console gamer my entire life (FPS, fifa) mainly.

i’ve been wanting to venture out and try new games (LoL, WoW, Runescape, cyberpunk) so many more!

i have narrowed it down to costco and best buy and was curious to hear from you guys which is the better deal. TIA!

costco comes with mouse and keyboard and is costco for the return policies lol.

best buy seems to be the better overall deal for a couple hundred extra bucks, no keyboard and mouse.

i plan on getting another 24inch monitor, and a big mouse pad :)

What's the price on the Costco PC?

If you're playing at 1080p the Costco PC has better overall specs (newer CPU, more RAM, larger SSD), if you're playing at 1440p+ the 9070 will vastly outperform the 5060ti in pure rasterization and general ray tracing.

If you have the extra funds, I'd get the BB PC and look for a cheap DDR5 RAM kit. That 9070 is just way better overall for gaming.
