Nice price, similar to my iBuy unit bought in 1-21, Ryzen 7 3800X, 32GB, RTX 3070 for $1400.
Still running great with zero problems.

Yes it has expired. The extra 16gb of memory is worth $40-45 at retail.

Lots of bad reviews on Costco's website - computers not booting/posting, bad hardware, and returned units - etc.... if anyone gets this please let us know your experience and if it's a positive one!

Would also be great to know what components these have - motherboard brand/model, RAM type DDR4/5, brand of 3070Ti card, etc.

Lots = 6 one star reviews.
Costco is good about returns/servicing bad gear.

Rather just get 13th Gen Intel from their site for maybe $100 more -also new AMD vid cards are supposed to be out Dec 13th — supposed to be the whole line not just the flagship card —so after that prices on Nvidia cards should drop . No way to know of course but worth waiting a week to see how things develop

I'll never buy another ibuypower pc. I purchased one in Nov of 21 with a 3080ti since a decent video card was hard to find in stock anywhere without a markup. Typically I build my own pc, but decided to give it a shot due to the video card shortage/scalping.

All parts included will be near bottom of the barrel parts. The motherboard was an asrock z590-c/ac with aboslutely no onboard diagnostics. Fast forward to less than 2 weeks after the 1 year warranty expired and the PC starts going into a power cycle loop with no video. I called ibuypower and they obviously could care less, but did offer a replacement motherboard if I shipped them the old one. At that point I decided to upgrade the motherboard and of course the same thing happened with the replacement motherboard. Turns out it was a CPU issue, replaced the CPU and it's fine now. Had I known it was a CPU issue to begin with I would have went to a newer gen, but at least it works again.

Even if Intel offers a longer warranty on the CPU you are bound by the manufacturer warranty of 1 year.

I built the following PC about 10 yrs ago

CPU Intel Core i7-4790K
GPU Nvidia GTX 970
SSD Crucial MX100 256GB and Samsung 860 Evo 500GB
HDD 2 * WDC WD60EZAZ-00SF3B0 6TB and Toshiba DT01ACA200 2TB
RAM G.SKILL RipjawsX DDR3 1600 C9 4x8GB
MBD Asrock Z97X Killer

How would you rate the current deal vs my build if I was trying to get back into gaming?

I bought this last week. Arrived and No post. Sending it back.
It comes with DDR4 4X8Gb 3200. No room to add more. Overall looks like a good deal. Waiting for replacement. They do ship fast 3 days.
