$999.99 is the normal price at Costco so why are we even posting this? You also listed it as $998.99 but it's not, it's still $999.99 and even if it were, a whole dollar off makes it a deal?
Somewhat reluctuntly, I'll give it a thumbs up. This may not seem like a deal because it is not on sale, but it is priced right for the overall configuration. It's a great value overall:
Latest 13th gen i5;
32GB DDR5 RAM;
2TB SSD;
Latest gen graphics;
Attractive design.
This is definitely the value offer that future deals will be measured against. If you are in the market, I'd keep an eye on this config for when it goes on sale at Costco.

- 13400 is a locked and slower 12600K;nothing exciting
- 32GB of DDR5 but didn't show the speed. Probably 4400-5200 speeds.
- 4060 is a meh card for $300 retail;6600/50XT $210-$230, 7600 $250, 6700 10GB $270, 6700/6750XT $300-$330
- 2TB is good instead of 256/hdd or 500GB NVME since 2TB Nvme goes for $65
Hi all,
Does costco have a better offering than this CyberPowerPC in the $1300 or less range?
I've compared several of the models using Costco's comparison tool and I'm just not saavy enough to know if some features greatly change the performance for the cost.
I was looking at the skytech Blaze:
$1,299.99
Skytech Blaze 3 Gaming Desktop - 12th Gen Intel Core i7-12700F - GeForce RTX 4060Ti - Windows 11
main goal is to be somewhat future proof for gaming; run Hogwarts Legacy, try and be at 2k resolution.
We are not big gamers, but my 11yr old is getting interested and I'd like to get something that can keep the experience enjoyable (but he wont be allowed to be gaming all day/night).
I really like the sub $1k price point of the OP, just want to try and make sure I'm not putting us in a spot where in a year we are thinking we need to "upgrade". Appreciate any feedback/suggestions.
It's true that this machine is not on "sale" but it is a great price for what's being offered. Especially if you compare the specs amongst the competition out there right now.
My costco had one with damaged box for 900 that seemed tempting. Sure you can build for a similar price or maybe slightly cheaper by my time is worth some of that money to me as I'm not a PC builder and don't want to be.

The latest Costco savings booklet ends on 10/22/23. It could be good to wait and see if this one goes on sale for Black Friday.
