Bunch of haters in here on prebuilt computers, but MSI is one of the premium builders. All of their parts are expensive and they use their in-house parts. They don’t make ram and they don’t make drives so that’s probably where they cheated out, but honestly the graphics card the power supply and the motherboard are expensive options Answer from Key-Course-4818 on reddit.com

r/Costco on Reddit: Opinions on Buying Prebuilt PC From Costco
May 29, 2025 -

I'm interested in upgrading from my 1080, ideally to a 5090 if I can swing it but at least a 5080. I had two main questions, are the ones costco sells online good prices or just retail price for it? And has costco in the past had supply of top of the line cards before or are they probably only gonna stock prebuilts up to 5080 and unlikely getting 5090s?

I'm buying a new desktop gaming computer and my dad is hellbent on getting one from costco because they seem high quality, I don't know much about pcs as I've only used dell laptops so I was wondering if they're high end and can easily run high graphic games, Thanks for any help.

Its windows 11, intel i5, 32gb DDR5 memory, Nvidia geforce rtx4060 8gb, with 2tb of storage, it did have the annoying gamer lights which i would prefer not to have, its from cyber power, and it was 850$

Edit: Its been great so far, I would absolutely reccomend buying them! Cyberpower seems to be great!

November 20, 2023 - This. I’ll buy everything else at Costco, but not a pre-built gaming PC. Sure they might look nice but the value just isn’t there. I’d steer clear & look into building (I’ve only ever built one with the help of YouTube & a friend via FaceTime on the phone), which got me exactly what I wanted.

Has anyone purchased this or any of the Costco gaming PCs? Curious about their experience and recommendations. Also has anyone upgraded one at all? Is it easy to get new graphics cards or other upgrades into the cases that Costco offers? I currently am looking at this one and not sure if 12 gb vram is enough.

I'm looking to upgrade my custom built i5/1080 and just wanting to blow it out. I have small kids and a demanding job and don't have the patience to build myself, so my first thought was to go to ibuypower.com or something similar. However for shits and giggles I checked out Costco and they have a $2,600 PC with a 5080, i9, 4 TB SSD, and 64 GB of RAM - like, wut?

What am I missing here? That seems like a STEAL. I know there are no specs on the RAM nor SSD, so it could be lower end on those (as far as RAM module types and SSD read/write speeds). And I know the 5080 isn't proven yet. But still, I could do the 4070 Super TI and pay jus ta little less. Would love any advice!

I came across this PC build on the Costco app. This is all the information they gave on it. I am not familiar with PCs at all. Is this a decent price? I am looking to buy a PC, I would be okay with building my own but I can’t select any parts cuz I know nothing lol so I can’t even cross reference with pc parts selector. Let me know your thoughts! If there is a build with similar/better specs for the same/similar price let me know! Thank you for your help.

Am I crazy or does this seem like a steal? Looking for a new PC and have been checking across Microcenter, Best Buy, Newegg etc.

Has anyone purchased this? Looks like it might be a new listing as it has no reviews.

iBUYPOWER Trace Mesh Gaming Desktop, Intel Core i7-14700F - 32GB RAM, 2TB SSD, 8GB NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 | Costco

I'm interested in upgrading my computer but have been eyeing this prebuilt from Costco. I'm very out of the loop in regards to best value parts and how i'd go about upgrading my current system. I'm currently on an i5-8400 16g ram nvidia 970. all parts are atleast 7+years old at this point or older.

I'd like to play elden ring and TWarhammer3 at the high settings with 60fps. Would this costco sold pc achieve this?

Stay away from 13th and 14th gen Intel CPUs. They're all having critical failures (among other issues AFAIK) due to some sort of voltage issue I believe.

Honestly not a bad deal for the specs, I would personally be wary of a 13th or 14th gen Intel nowadays with what's been going on link .

Are costco computers even priced competitively? They also have the 2-year warranty and the 90 day return policy through Costco. These are the two computers with 4080 supers and there $2300-$2400 most of their gaming computers are cyberpower or MSI.
