Deal Details
While I would typically advocate for building your own PCs for fun and to save money these days, RAM and SSD prices are out of control. Getting these parts yourself would cost around $2,050 currently. I think once Costco sells these out It will either get more expensive or iBuyPower power will put cheaper parts for the same price.

Read the buyer's comment. This thing runs hot and people returned it.

It happened first time. Try again it should work. It was glitchy.

The got a bad build. I bought this two weeks ago and my temps are much lower in Cinebench24 than what they were reporting in Cyberpunk. I have zero heat issues. They did, however, have the bottom case fans set to "cpu" in the bios, which made them ridiculous loud.

Bios takes forever to reboot after any changes, and iBuypower had all the case fans set to "cpu" which made the thing extremely loud, other than that I'd buy it again in a heartbeat. Also, it's Costco, the best in the business for dealing with issues or returns.

BIOS taking forever after changes is normal. Training memory takes time, and it happens with any hardware/BIOS change on all modern machines.

It's "okay" for the price. The only component that really shines is the 9800X3D (which is actually overkill for this build). Other than that, it's a mid-tier motherboard, low end RAM, and a 750W PSU gives no room for upgrades.
