This iBUYPOWER Element gaming desktop pairs a Ryzen 7 9800X3D with an RTX 5070, 32GB of RAM, and a 2TB SSD, making it a strong all around gaming and VR machine. The extra CPU headroom, larger storage, and two year warranty stand out versus cheaper 7800X3D and Walmart alternatives, and the standard parts make future upgrades easier. The main knocks are price, since similar 5070 systems have sold for less, and some concern about loud CPU cooling or hotter running. Overall, it looks like a well equipped prebuilt with solid long term value.
Common Questions (5)
The Costco model adds a newer Ryzen 7 9800X3D, 2TB SSD, and a 2-year warranty versus Walmart's 7800X3D, 1TB SSD, and 1-year warranty. The gaming performance difference between the two CPUs is expected to be small, so the extra cost mainly buys storage and warranty.
It uses off-the-shelf parts, so the GPU, PSU, cables, and motherboard are standard and replaceable. That makes future upgrades or case reuse much easier than systems with proprietary components.
The 7800X3D version was reported to stay very quiet after about 10 minutes of 1440p gaming, likely helped by liquid cooling. The 9800X3D version has also been flagged for a loud CPU fan in reviews, so cooling noise may depend on the exact configuration.
The deal price is $1,499.99, down from $1,899.99 with a $400 manufacturer savings window listed through 12/22/25, while supplies last. A Costco credit card plus Executive membership can add about 4% cash back, roughly $60.
It should handle VR well. For PC-to-headset streaming, Steam Link is free and Virtual Desktop is a paid alternative, while Meta Air Link is the option mentioned for wired mode.

It is currently $1299 and was $1199 back in September. There are three differences, the CPU is upgraded, two year warranty, and the SSD is 2tb vs 1tb.
It is probably worth $200 more, so you are getting your money's worth. But I don't think the 9800X3D will make much real world gaming difference over the 7800X3D. The 7800X3D is still one of the best gaming CPU's made.
I personally purchased the 7800X3D version as real world the systems will have similar performance for $200 less. But this 9800X3D is certainly not overpriced and is a TON of computer for the money. Very good deal for the money.
This would be considered very good gaming computer. It will run any game they will need for at least 6 years. There are some more and less expensive, but this is a very good mid-level computer if you have $1500 to spend.
Other option from Walmart [walmart.com] would be similar performance for $200 less but you lose some CPU power, 1tb of storage and the second year of warranty. I bought this one and tried it to ensure no issue for Christmas and it's an absolute beast for $1300.
Then I found I out that Dell does custom made components, so I couldn't just drop any vid card upgrade or a new PSU.
Does iBUYPOWER/MSI/Cyberpower do the same thing?
Goal is to get a good deal on an upgrade with a case that I can possibly re-use.
