lol another lopsided build. Overpowered CPU for that GPU (no one needs an x3D for a x70 GPU) and then a relatively-low powered PSU guaranteeing you will need to replace it when you decide to buy a GPU that will actually take advantage of the CPU power.

So pre-built PSUs are always not going to be that great. This would have been a decent deal if it was at least 6000 MHz ram, kind of inexcusable to offer less than that in 2025 for a gaming PC. The sweet spot for these CPUs is 6000 MHz.

Edit: Would be slicker between $1,400-1500, I suspect we will probably see 5070 TI + 9800x3d on Black Friday for potentially $1600s given we saw them in the high $1700s on SD already.

Sketchy company with a history of fraud. I don't care that it's being sold at Costco. This company does not deserve your business.

I just don't think it is that good of a deal. Not even from Costco... Like other poster mentioned lopsided cpu inflating the price for this build. I would rather have cheaper cpu and 5070ti at this price.

It's cheaper than per part cost if you were looking to build, but not if you're patient and bought every part on sale.

If you need a system now, it's a solid buy, but yeah, doesnt need a 9800x3d driving up the price. It's $100 cheaper than it was on sale for last month, but I'm willing to bet we'll see better options for black friday.

Brack Friday is just a month away. Wait a few weeks and there will be $150-$300 off instant coupon from Costco.

While true, only an idiot would put together this machine as-is if they were building it part by part.

Thanks for the info, I bought the Alienware act1250, but looking for something without any proprietary parts.

Fair point, and I'm sure 90% of people buying a pre built from Costco wouldn't know how to spec out or build a well balanced machine in the first place.

Still not the worst I've seen, and better an overpowered CPU than underspec'd, but definitely not the right time to buy anything short of the best deal you've ever seen with black friday right around the corner, and this ain't it.

The Walmart deal for same model 3 weeks ago but with 7800x3d and 1TB SSD was only $1200. The CPU upgrade and extra 1TB SSD doesn't worth $400 extra. Even with 7800x3d the CPU rarely runs over than 50% in my game so 9800x3d is definitely overkill.

For ML, that Intel processor isn't great. Your ML jobs are going to run on the GPU so it doesn't matter too much, but 16GB of memory on the video card is going to limit the size of the models you can work with. I think 5080 is the sweet spot for ML these days.

For this price I rather get the 5070ti deals but I'll wait for Black Friday or 5070 super 18gb release with the extra cuda with same msrp.
