Solid considering the Costco return and warranty.

This is my backup, if mother better comes out. I think we will see something with a 5070 for $1100-$1200 in November though.

Not the best value for gaming, but it's great for multicore workloads.

This is really tempting. My desktop just got busted when I tried to replace cpu and stupidly didn't take apart everything and my cooler fell onto the cpu socket. Tried to put it on anyway and I think I fried my psu too. So with psu and mobo fried and it being an 8 year old pc, it's probably time. That said, is this a good deal? I see a lot of people put fleck on this deal, but after seeing some options, even compared to micro center ones, this is one of the better spec for the price.

Am I missing anything?

IMP it's pretty go deal with the extra year warranty and 90 day return policy.

Maybe you could find similar spec'ed computer in a few weeks for $100 less but might not be as good of a brand and wouldn't have the extra warranty.

But obviously the group is not impressed with this for some reason.

There's promotional software that comes with this. Do you know if it will cause any problem with the return process in case something better comes along during BF?

Can barely put one together yourself for this price if he took an entire month waiting for the best sales promotions to happen on equivalent components!
