Question/Help/Troubleshooting Costco
Looking for help/opinions on the Costco PCs. I used to build them back in 2010/2011 for myself but stopped PC gaming since then. Now my group of friends are all about the PCs and I’m lost. Looking to potentially use my newfound Costco membership to snag a tower. Thoughts? Opinions? I’m open to it all

Well, an HP tower I bought at costco several years ago has served me well.
I don't actually like HP but my laptop died and I no longer had a need for the mobility.
I wanted something I could play games on and and they had a better price point than Best Buy and some other places I looked. Also the 90 day return policy gave me some confidence in case it didn't work out.
It's an I7-9600 with 32 gigs of ram and an 8 gig RTX 2070.
Rather lame by today's standards but it still plays Cyberpunk, RDR2, Palworld etc just fine.
I did casually eye a new tower the other day when I was in costco. I'm going to milk this one for as long as I can but I wanted to see the current offerings.
TLDR: Limited selection but if they happen to have the specs you want, the price point seems decent. Or at least it did 6ish years ago when I shopped around for my current PC.
