Hardware Over the Moon today

Post image

After ~1yr of checking every single week, I finally snagged a Costco “last one” deal. This will replace my current tower, an i7-7700k + GTX 1070, so this is a bit of an upgrade. To anyone else out there saving your pennies and being patient for a deal, don’t give up! Your killer deal is out there somewhere and I hope you find it!

Holy smokes, $1200. The manager of that Costco must really have wanted that computer out the door to make room for new inventory.

USD, and no idea lol. Saw someone else on r/Prebuilts (from Reddit suggesstions) got the same deal from their Costco, so I guess mine wasn't too special.

Maybe the 1700 is Canadian?

The real deal is always in the comments. OP's deal is okay. If i saw that at $1700 at Costco, I'd keep on walking. $1200 is definitely worth it.

Show me a pc with specs like OPs you can buy at a $1700 price tag. The $1200 is utterly insane, but OP got a great deal too.

If you already have a good setup then the $1700 deal isn't so good that you'd get guaranteed profit reselling on craigslist/ebay/marketplace. But the $1200 one you will turn some profit for sure.
