Community Reviews

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.

  • The deal configuration includes a two-year warranty and a 2TB NVMe SSD, which can reduce upgrade pressure versus a 1TB setup.

    WilliamMunny63jtree1

  • The prebuilt uses off-the-shelf standard parts, so the power supply and cables can be replaced more easily than with custom proprietary components.

    WilliamMunny63duhFooL

  • The 9800X3D model is positioned as a small real-world gaming step up over a 7800X3D while still offering strong overall system value.

    WilliamMunny63WilliamMunny63

  • The Costco deal price can be paired with a Costco credit card and Executive membership for additional cash back value.

    nlink4

  • The $1,499.99 price has been questioned because a 5070 system was reportedly around $1,100 at Walmart a month earlier.

    ashirian

  • The deal price appears tied to a specific validity window and a limit of two per member, which can restrict how and when it can be purchased.

    jtree1

  • Reviews have mentioned a loud CPU fan, so cooling noise may be a concern under 9800X3D load.

    lnvaderGir

  • Some buyers may receive a different motherboard and GPU than the floor model, which can complicate expectations for specific component brands.

Stupid question, but is a Costco membership needed to get this price on the 17th? I don't have one near me and have no clue what I'd do with the membership afterward.
You will need a membership. But you can try Walmart, they have a few good deals on iBUYPOWER systems also.

The reviews mention the CPU fan being loud. Any good alternatives that can handle a 9800x3D and stay quiet under load?

I have the iBUYPOWER 7800x3D version and ran it for 10 minutes gaming 1440p. The fans were very quiet IMO, might in part be due to the liquid cooling.

Costco PC has a newer slightly better CPU, 2TB SSD vs 1TB for the Walmart PC and 2 year Warranty vs 1 year plus 90 say return policy.

Anyone with a Costco credit card and executive membership also gets 4% CB so about $60 value.

Does anyone know what the price of this is in store? I am wondering if it might be cheaper, or if I should just jump on this now. My son was looking at building his own gaming PC, but his part list is $1350 already, so this might be better already put together and a warranty?

I just picked one up. Looks good with all the RGB but I'm not really an RGB guy. I got the one with MSI board and Asus GPU. The ram is cas 42. The power supply is not modular. It's quite so far. No complain. I haven't benchmark it though. Also one reciewer said it gets hot and i haven't experience that yet.

What about the RAM speed of 5200Mhz? I was hoping for 6000. Is this a noticeable difference?

We ended up with a different board and GPU than what was on the floor model, How do we get one with the Asus GPU?
