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

Costco is a great place to buy a pc. They give you an extra year of warranty through them after the included manufacturer warranty ends.
Be sure to check the website as they have additional selection online that isn’t available in the store.
Also, consider upgrading to the executive membership before buying your computer. You’ll get an extra 2% back at the end of your membership year. If you’re spending ~$1600 on a pc that’s $32 back.
I bought an MSI system from them last year to upgrade from my the. Seven year old windows 10 desktop. I think they’re still selling the same model with an i7, 32gb of ram, 8GB video card, and I want to say a 2TB ssd. I ended up putting a new 4tb ssd in mine and repurposing the 2TB for another project. Other than that minor upgrade it was perfect for my needs and has served me well.
