Glad I'm a console player. PS5 and Switch 2 cover every game I want to play. Can't imagine spending $2300 on a box of misfit parts to play video games lol.
That misfit of parts can do things that are not even remotely possible on any console.

I'm just wondering if i'm better off just building my own PC. Would love any feedback but I put one together on Microcenter using their PC builder tool. I switched the CPU to a 265KF. Here is my link:

https://www.microcenter.com/site/...c478ba1d26

Keep in mind that this link shows a price of $2709 but there is a bundle using the MOBO + CPU + RAM that saves an additional $325 effectively making this a total of $2384.

I am not sure if there is enough of a benefit if any to go with the AMD processor over the Intel processor and/or if the me building it with these better parts outweights the processor in value and quality.

All one in warranty? AM5 longevity? I'd build my own, esp since you are near a microcenter.

You are very right. I checked, even if you bought at MicroCenter. Just the NVIDIA 5080 GPU and CPU/MB/RAM bundle are $2300.
That leaves out the NVME, PSU, Case, cooling system, and Windows license.
What an awful time to be in the market.
Or you can do what I did for my nephew and get the MC $350 7500x3d combo and a $400 5060ti 16gb for 1/3 the price and still be able to max out 90% of the games out there.

This is a nice rig with Costco warranty but I'd much rather spend $750 every 4yrs than $2300 every 6yrs.

Well yes and no. Max out on what resolution? Using what upscaling wizardry?
If you're running a high end 4K monitor, the 5060ti is a bit of a stretch.
Your $750 still doesn't include storage, case, PSU, cooling.

great deal. also keep in mind that this is costco. their customer support is much better.

i feel like customer support for building by parts is not that important. but if you are buying the whole computer, customer support is also a key factor on top of the prices.
update: 90 day return policy on this

Any idea on the return policy for Costco? I might ask my brother if he can buy this for me but we are in different states so I'm not sure if that would work for him buying it for me and me potentially returning it if it's not good.

i called and it seems that they will take it back pretty much regardless, as long as it's within 90 days. but dont quote me on that.

Is it the same price in warehouse? Or do they offer in-store pickup if you order online?

This was never $2,000. It was $2,199.
yep, it was on sale for $2200 during the holidays (thanksgiving to christmas)

if any store had it for $2000, it was the manager being a madlad and doing his own thing. lol
