HOW is Costco Selling This Gaming PC SO CHEAP?!

HP Omen 45L is my fav prebuilt for the money, I have 2, one is 12900k/3080Ti/32gb/1tb nvme was eebay refurb but looked and functioned like brand new, zero cosmetic defects too. The other one was mac bid steal I got for under 1900 with 14900k/4090/64gb/2 tb nvme, also perfect. I am a big fan of refurb deals. The Lenovo legion refurbs are also worth a look.

I got a Cyberpower pc back in 2020 when prices to build one were high. It has done okay but about 2 years after my purchase it started randomly crashing. After some investigation I determined it was the 8pin power supply cable. I replaced the whole ps and upgraded the case and it has been running fine since.

[@sparda9060]

Point of failure for prebuilt PCs are usually cheap low quality Power supplies. after some years of usage, it craps out.

[@chrisjohnson1312]

@@sparda9060 Literally just ordered a new power supply (arrives tomorrow) because my 2021 Cyberpower system just had that issue. The two red LED power lights on my GPU were not lit up. The system crashes during playing games (only), so I guessed it was only getting power from the motherboard. I just happened to look in the case and spot the lights out. I took the extra GPU power cables and hooked those up, but the lights didn't come on, so I assume that one portion of the PSU is what went out. I hope that is the only issue, but I am prepared to buy a brand new one if I need to.

[@sparda9060]

@ Its usually signs of power supply about to die. the PCEI lane can give 75 watt of power to GPU by motherboard so you can still use windows desktop or web browse. but playing games makes GPU draw more power than 75 watt the PCEI lane gives which will make PSU shut off or your windows to crash due to lack of power. Get new PSU and see if thats the it, if thats not it you can always return it for a refund.

[@TheSnoopyclone]

8:39 don’t forget to add the convenience that the unit is already assembled and ready to go, along with customer service support and warranty. Remember that to get the lower prices, you’d need to hunt for them and wait for a sale on the item.

[@westfield90]

That is my PC that I got in June. I saw the display model and absolutely loved it. I loved that Phantek NV5 case. Now six months later I’ve added in more ram and storage but still the best Pc I’ve purchased. I’m not a gamer so it definitely surpasses all my needs.

[@truhunk1]

I bought a Powercyber PC four years ago, and its working well. Not a single problem yet.

[@0errab0]

Costco buys in bulk so they can get huge discounts on all the units they purchase, you bought that PC for under 900.00, they most likely only paid around 550-625 for it. When I was managing for Walmart, department managers had some leeway in where we got our new products and restocks. I was responsible for the Garden Center and Foods. The prices that I got were dependent upon the amount of units I was willing to commit to selling. I was shaving hundreds off the cost of most of the Troy-built riding mowers that I was ordering (Provided that I was asking for minimum of 10). Don't get me started on food items, most everything I ordered was 50 cents to the dollar. Everything went fine as long as you were moving units, if not, it was game over for you. Keep in mind that this was close to 30 years ago; however, I imagine the game is still being played.

[@cmasscmass]

You know the market and very little has changed. I move CPU PSUs and GPUs and will overclock anything I can get my hands on for better customers. It's slow as hell now but the market is showing it may be coming back in 2025. If not it was good while it lasted.

[@jjman533]

Wrong. All items sold at Costco is sold at a maximum of a 15% mark up. You are assuming Costco has the same Walmart margins? LOL. There are no membership fees for Walmart. Costco makes money on membership whether or not you buy anything.

I really like the RGB within the case. I plan on buying one, I will likely swap out the fans for some better RGB that I can control better (Corsair) but the accent running along the shroud and the case looks really cool!

[@Omega_Mark]

4:51 Rule of thumb: The exhaust of a fan is on the side where you can see the legs holding the center in place. Yes, now they have reversed fans for a cleaner look, but they are more expensive. Case like this could really use some reverse fans on that side wall, so you don't look at that ghastly mounting and a label.

[@yudhisthiradharma]

Nice video … that case is more expensive that the one you choose , it’s a rebrand of the phanteks NV5 MKIi close to 110 $

[@RealStarRanger]

I bought this one a couple months ago but it had an MSI motherboard. Worked great for a week, then it started crashing. Reinstalled windows, worked for a few days, crash. Then it kept on crashing at startup over and over even when I reinstalled windows again and again. Costco reviews indicates this happens often with this model so I returned it and instead of going with a straight replacement, went to the next one up they had in stock from I Buy Power, similar specs with a better CPU, and that one has been working fine since then.

[@naomy1701]

honestly if the comp is for working and gaming, i guess its better than nothing, but if it was a pure gaming rig, a lower CPU and better GPU would be highly adviseable imo. and for only 100$ upmark for labor + OS, for anyone not having the slightest clue how to build a PC, the price is certainly better than i expected. big + in my books

I bought a CyberPowerPC in 2018 and it's finally just now starting to show it's age. Specs wise: Intel i9 7980XE and a GTX 1080 Ti. I've been delighted with it and nearly every game I've bought since has been playable at max graphics.

Hi. The Costco model is to sell everything at a slim profit. Enough to essentially break even as a business, and then memberships are pure profit. When you have 100 million + people paying either $65 or $130 a year for a membership, well it can be a lucrative business. I know this is a PC channel, but with a membership and certain CC, you can get 4% cash back. So on this pc like $35 bucks off. Pretty good deal. Or if you get gold or silver, and that 4% cash back allows you to get gold or silver below market price.. 🤔. Even better deal.

[@yonblek4542]

They buy a bunch of bulk PC's to sell. The hype for the model goes down. Eventually they have a bunch not selling and decide to hawk them at a discount. Look for them online after thanksgiving.. You see ones that were 3 thousand go down to like 999$ Newegg Amazon the like.

There's a greater chance than not you'll be utilizing that "2 year warranty". It's widely known that 13 and 14th gen Intel processors are failing due to degradation. The i5 you have is less likely to experience degradation due to lower TDP and Cyberpowerpc probably put the lowest power profile in bios. Price isn't that surprising, especially if it's the 8gb 4060, 14th gen processor pricing got slashed due to the widespread issues with them. Amd Ryzen processors have lots of advantages ,especially in gaming builds; lower tdp, better ganing performance, Am5 platform has upgrade path garunteed through 2027+

What is a 4060 GTX? You do not seem too familiar with PC's. Nvidia makes an RTX 4060 and an RTX 4060 Ti...

As someone who's been building and/or following PC hardware for decades, I occasionally do the same thing. Over the years, things just stick. It may seem like a really long time for you, but their GTX cards are not that old at all in memory, relative to my age and experience. Even 2016 is like yesterday to me. In fact when I think about 2015 and the fact that it was right at 10 years ago it's wild. Experience in time does this. 10 years is half a lifetime to a 20 yo. It's like 4 years to to a 50 yo relative to the 20 yo.

It's good for those on a budget, but, it's always better to build your own PC.
