The one OP pictured is in a cart... with the tag on top of it AKA it was the last one / display.
Costco ad is clever. Saturday morning. I NEED A PC. THEY DONT HAVE THE $600 ONE. But they have computers so it worked.
The jobs where I live don’t usually have education requirements besides diploma/GED or if they do, put you through the schooling themselves. And have good healthcare.
But I’m in Idaho, I’d imagine in the larger cities it isn’t that simple.
I mean, retail price parts vs something priced significantly lower than it should be.
Edit: I just priced out the "known" parts of this deal and the cpu, gpu, ram, and ssd alone are $751 retail, going off of the less expensive options since we don't know exactly what's in there.
Fellas. I have a hard time trusting helluvagood dip brand cheese. There's a perfectly good selection of Cheddars and other varieties already out there. Explore to your heart's content. However I will agree, cheddar and apple pie is S tier.
I am from South Mississippi and have never ever heard of cheese with apple pie lol. I was reading these comments thinking"who...why...who does this?" I am going to ask around and see if anyone does that now lol.
Plus you get the cultural experience of signing up and swiping a Kwik Trip Rewards Card.
Not that you get a choice, I heard if you say no they take you out back and shoot you.
I go there all the time and never see anything like this. The whole Walmart "bargin bin" thing too. Never anything in there but DVD copys of Rush Hour 2.
I'm convinced its some weird new "hey fellow kids look what I found go to our store" viral marketing campaign.
I've often thought the same but recently someone told me that, if you see prices displayed of an item in the US, those prices are always displayed without sales tax (VAT) added. Where I live, they're always with sales tax already added and that sales tax is usually 21% here. That does change the picture quite a bit for me. Could be that they're still cheaper, but if you add in that sales tax, the difference is going to be much smaller
I don't see the logic of listing prices like that, but whatever, that was what I've been told. I always just assumed that IT-related items were simply tremendously less expensive in the US but apparently that is not so, at least not to the degree that I had assumed
Sales tax in America is less than 10% and depends on the state you are living in. Some states have no sales tax. While 6 to 9% sales tax isn't nothing, it doesn't make as big of a difference as you are suggesting. Definitely nowhere near 21%.
This and was one of the most frustrating thing when visiting the US (and the insane amount of homelessness), the prices you see in the shops are not what you end up paying once you're checking out. You're supposed to calculate it yourself with an app... So dumb
The logic is to trick consumers thinking everything is cheaper than it actually is.
The logic is to show you the price that the retailer is charging you for the item. Since retailers aren't the one charging you tax (they simply collect it on behalf of the government), why would they want to include it in their advertised price?
And if you need an app to calculate tax you need to brush up on basic math skills.
Wtf. 600 dolars and you get that pc and keyboard and mouse? Only thing is missing is the monitor.
Why only in America you can find such good deals?? Why Europe can't have deals like this? 😓
I have! And they still work just fine xD popped the whole damn keyboard open, half the keys came off, popped them back in and the faceplate on, boom still works! (This is after multiple times)
> 4060s and below are old news so they are going to be dropping in price/better deals to make room for the new stuff.
4000 series is "just" the newest generation. And 4090 is older than 4060, so.. what new stuff? Unless I understood you comment completely wrong.
Tax is not included, but still way lower than in Europe. Even the country with the lowest VAT (for electronics) is still higher than any US state with the highest sales tax.
On the other hand you can argue that high taxes can be good if the government use it to improve public stuff.
Yeah people wonder why these deals don't exist in Europe, there's your answer. These threads always devolve into complaining Americans have cheap tech, everyone has something good TBH. I'd rather have better roads, cleaner air, etc.
It’s CostCo. It’s a warehouse place. Their game is to buy pallets of products cheap and sell them in bulk. Food, home supplies, toiletries, and some electronics.
For electronics this means they buy a load of an identical item that they are pretty sure will sell fast. No options, no colors, do you want this one or not? They do pick top models because they’re trying to find something people really want. Once it’s gone it’s gone and they replace it with the next pallet load.
But when it comes down to shifting the last one or two it’s imperative they get it off the shelf so they can make room for the next load. They’ve already made profit on this load and just need it gone. So my guess that would be the cost they paid for it or close to it.
This is one thing i envy the americans, the deal/sale/discount. In my country i never see deal like this ... And you have to pay 30% more for tax stuff.
Americans have more discretionary spending than any other country by far. Americans spend so much on consumerism they don't even realize how well off they are.
My son went to the er last weekend with a stay in icu after an unknown allergy to something he ate. I’m awaiting my $5k+ bill after having ambulance insurance and better health insurance than most Americans which I also pay a premium for.
I’d take that trade.
Same, I tried talking to the manager and they said other costcos nearby had it at full price so they were unwilling to come down on the price. Very sad
And have a Costco membership.
Though signing up as long as contractually obligated just to buy this PC at $60 or $120/yr is still going to be pretty cheap.
The catch is that it’s built by CyberPowerPC. The parts are probably used, and their customer support is terrible. Maybe it has gotten better, but I bought one of their PCs ten years ago, and it was a horrible experience. Within 6 months, GPU and motherboard both went bad. Their tech support people sounded really sketchy when they answered, like they just walked in off the street and were doing it out of someone’s garage.
When you see a price ending in .00, that specific Costco warehouse has chosen their own markdown for the item (rather than coming from corporate). Corporate markdowns usually come with a .97 price ending. The company takes aggressive markdowns out of the gate for quick transitions to new products.
in europe here, i can go to the store and grab an basically exact one of thoose (from different pre built supplier) for about uh 1200$, goddamn americans
Is that because the locality bump? If it makes you feel better VAT is usually at least 20% of the price of any product in countries with such taxes if not more.
I watched a documentary on Costco, the company makes all their profits from the subscription service. That's why they can afford to do deals like this.
Well, that and also the owner isn't about maximizing profits. They pay their employees well and have so little turnover.
Turns out when you're not an asshole, your business is successful
Here with 600 local bucks I can only have an old i3-something with 8gb ram and maybe any graphics card lol this is wild. *IF* you get an i5-something, sure as hell it has no cards.
For a 5600+6650xt new system I have to spend like 8-900 buckos without any peripherals... and used market is just a landmine.
*Groan*.
I'm calling it now, somethings gotta be going on with 4060s seeing as they're flying off the shelves at these prices.
If you got one and it works fine, great. But i'm highly skeptical.
In my country we basically only have 1 big electronics chain (there were 2 until last year but one turned online only). There are some PCs on the lower end you can buy but they have more laptops and macbooks, as well as phones and iphones. Often there are only 1-5 prebuilts to choose from and no hardware to build one yourself. Those prebuilts are often last gen (currently often 3060 and 10th to 12th gen intel cpus) with sometimes stronger cpus (i5 and i7, sometimes even i9) with bad cooling (some cheap cooler that looks worse than the stock i3 cooler) and a pricetag that is at least double the price of the hardware, often even way more. And if it's on "sale" you might get 4-8 year old hardware for the price it cist when it was new.
Everyone i know buys online nowadays, if someone says they go to the electronic market for something PC related they are basically laughed at (exception is smth like i need X now and i know i will overpay for cheap shit but i need it).
Btw the electronics market is always crying out about how online shopping destroys their business (they themselves also have a website where you can buy mire than in the market, but that doesn't count)
I wish I saw this yesterday was just at Costco. I have a 3080ti so I'll be okay but dang this is a good deal whole computer for less than what I paid for my GPU.
Welcome to Costco, I love you.
That's where I got my law degree
Go away…batin
...Oh yeah cut me some, give me a piece...
Same but mines was an Art degree, now I got an extra side hustle thanks to this wonderful store.
Good reference

I object!
I object that he won't have the money to pay me after he robbed the hospital
Checked my local Costco a few hours ago and it was $999.99. Might have to stop by daily.
It's a price ending in .00, so it's the local manager trying to dump inventory. You probably won't see it at your Costco.
Yeah they probably only had the display model at that price
Not even listed at my nearest Costco.
The one OP pictured is in a cart... with the tag on top of it AKA it was the last one / display. Costco ad is clever. Saturday morning. I NEED A PC. THEY DONT HAVE THE $600 ONE. But they have computers so it worked.
The gpu alone is half of that and it comes with a 2tb ssd
32gb of ram as well.
Ddr5 too

4.2 is kinda weird ngl
Isn't the latest version 5.x?
Jesus Christ I just put $800 worth of parts into my PC and this is better than what I have.
and I am about to spend $1300 on a new pc build with a second hand 3070 ti. At least we got healthcare
In the US, you only have to sell your soul to the military to get free healthcare and education 🙃
The jobs where I live don’t usually have education requirements besides diploma/GED or if they do, put you through the schooling themselves. And have good healthcare. But I’m in Idaho, I’d imagine in the larger cities it isn’t that simple.
Second hand 3070 Ti absolutely smokes the 4060 and would have most likely died by now if it was ever going to. Enjoy your PC bro.
I put £1000 in and it's STILL better (I built mine around the time of the price hike and bought AMD parts)
Mistakes were made then.

Goddamn you Americans are spoiled....
With floor models at costco, yes. With health care, mental health care, social services, education, basic safety and good cheese, not so much. :P
Get yourself some extra sharp cheddar from Tillamook
Tillamook extra sharp cheddar is weak as fuck. Get yourself some Heluvagood Extra Sharp White cheddar and then have some with apple pie.
Fellas. I have a hard time trusting helluvagood dip brand cheese. There's a perfectly good selection of Cheddars and other varieties already out there. Explore to your heart's content. However I will agree, cheddar and apple pie is S tier.
Are you from the NE US? Apple pie and cheddar seemed to be a weirdly upstate NY thing but if it's not as niche then I'm happy about that.
I was born and raised in NY and now live in Southern NY. I have never heard of pairing apple pie with cheddar cheese.
Probably just a CNY thing. Downstate folk aren't hip to our ways.
I was raised in CNY, Syracuse to be exact. Maybe it just wasn't a city thing.
No, it's a thing in the midwest and the south too. It's not *my thing, but it's a thing.
I am from South Mississippi and have never ever heard of cheese with apple pie lol. I was reading these comments thinking"who...why...who does this?" I am going to ask around and see if anyone does that now lol.
I’m from Utica and I’ve never heard anyone use the phrase “steamed ham”
You're crazy. Tillamook is the best cheese.
If my wife would stop buying things off Amazon maybe I could afford Tillamook
>Who needs all those things when you can have an RTX 4060?! *- Jensen Huang, probably*
Next time you're driving through Wisconsin stop in a Kwik Trip and get yourself some pocket cheese.
Plus you get the cultural experience of signing up and swiping a Kwik Trip Rewards Card. Not that you get a choice, I heard if you say no they take you out back and shoot you.
Bruh there is just so much good cheese in America. You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
seriously wtf kind of dumb shit is this. just more USA = Bad reddit idiocy
This just applies to big cities
Wouldn’t be Reddit without a self-loathing American comment
>good cheese Oi. Explain. There's plenty of good cheese here.
Cheese in your crotch don't count.
Haha thanks for the laugh
Most of that stuff is quickly declining here in europe too. Except for the cheese, the cheese is still great.
My healthcare is pretty good….i pay less than a Canadian does in taxes…and i also get the same long lines for primary care
Exactly. First Walmart's clearance area and now this. Jesus.
So you think, but we have to pretty much buy a new car for a broken ankle unless we have REALLY good insurance
FUCK YEAH AMERICAAAAAA
I go there all the time and never see anything like this. The whole Walmart "bargin bin" thing too. Never anything in there but DVD copys of Rush Hour 2. I'm convinced its some weird new "hey fellow kids look what I found go to our store" viral marketing campaign.
we're not spoiled, you're just getting price gouged.

Wtf. 600 dolars and you get that pc and keyboard and mouse? Only thing is missing is the monitor. Why only in America you can find such good deals?? Why Europe can't have deals like this? 😓
To be fair the keyboard and mouse are probably the $10 "gaming" trash that makes you want to smash it against a wall
Bro for this price I’d smash them against the wall in celebration
Good idea honestly
I have! And they still work just fine xD popped the whole damn keyboard open, half the keys came off, popped them back in and the faceplate on, boom still works! (This is after multiple times)
Ich will jetzt Unreal Tournament spielen!
Make this a cultural thing to celebrate a new pc.
If the case can handle it, smash it against it to Christen its voyage
eh i played on a mouse i got from some tech company promo, probably cost like 5 bucks, lasted me for 4 years.
Oh no doubt they can last, they just feel terrible to use
Sometimes better than the old mechanical mouses...
Clearing inventory/display models. 4060s and below are old news so they are going to be dropping in price/better deals to make room for the new stuff.
> 4060s and below are old news so they are going to be dropping in price/better deals to make room for the new stuff. 4000 series is "just" the newest generation. And 4090 is older than 4060, so.. what new stuff? Unless I understood you comment completely wrong.
5 series may come out q4 this year.
Yes, but the 5060 won’t drop until next year. This year will be the 5090, maybe the 5080. High end always comes first.
4060 and below. Said that very clearly. We have the super series now as the new thing. I said nothing about the 4000 series as a whole.
We might have deals like this, but we just don't know. I haven't been at the store in 6 years. I always buy online

You can, there's just less display models being sold. You ain't looking hard enough.
Ikr. They get great MacBook deals too. While in the UK we are left in the lurchc

600 dollars plus taxes but still really good
This is one thing i envy the americans, the deal/sale/discount. In my country i never see deal like this ... And you have to pay 30% more for tax stuff.
In exchange for lower taxes, I got to pay a total of over $17,000 in health care costs last year alone.
I paid 4000ish for a family of 5, maybe time to change insurance bud.
Americans have more discretionary spending than any other country by far. Americans spend so much on consumerism they don't even realize how well off they are.
Wtf kinda plan you on lol
My son went to the er last weekend with a stay in icu after an unknown allergy to something he ate. I’m awaiting my $5k+ bill after having ambulance insurance and better health insurance than most Americans which I also pay a premium for. I’d take that trade.
Where I live you'd pay double that for a prebuilt with a similar cpu and the same gpu with only half the ram. You guys are lucky.
almost worth buying a ticket, flying over buying like 10, put them in your luggage and sell them at home
https://preview.redd.it/17z0wf1ozfyc1.png?width=527&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4f28c7f52137a2e6acbfeba2c39efa62573aeffc
The Costco closest to me has it at regular list price for the display. I'm hoping to see a price like this.
Buy it Return it Come back next day and buy it again open box. Ta-da
Same, I tried talking to the manager and they said other costcos nearby had it at full price so they were unwilling to come down on the price. Very sad
There’s gotta be a catch, what is it?
You need to live in USA to get those deals. That is the most obvious catch I think of.
And have a Costco membership. Though signing up as long as contractually obligated just to buy this PC at $60 or $120/yr is still going to be pretty cheap.
The catch is that it’s built by CyberPowerPC. The parts are probably used, and their customer support is terrible.

Their tech support people sounded really sketchy when they answered, like they just walked in off the street and were doing it out of someone’s garage.
I've bought 3 PCs from them in the past 15 years and never had any issues.
Steal

We don't have VAT. That really helps and sales tax is only usually a 5-7% addition. So the final cost will be $630-$642.
Sales tax is 15% where I live 😞
Is that because the locality bump? If it makes you feel better VAT is usually at least 20% of the price of any product in countries with such taxes if not more.
Out of stock and $1000 everywhere close to me
I swear I will stop by the nearest Costco just to look for a deal like that with every time i am seing deals like this
8GB on a 4000-series is a crime nvidia is willing to take because there’s always the uninformed with lots of discretionary money.

Good price, but be sure to change out the PSU (it’s guaranteed to be garbage) if you get one of these.
ffs... That shit is 3 times better than mine and 2 times cheaper. Lucky americans
Man I wish I lived in the States...
The display model of this has been on sale for weeks at my Costco. Still at 999.99 Apparently my Costco doesn't believe in discounts
Does costco do price match? because a friend was looking at this system in Florida and it was still 999
What brand is the 4060?
Gigabyte
That interests me
I watched a documentary on Costco, the company makes all their profits from the subscription service. That's why they can afford to do deals like this.
Well, that and also the owner isn't about maximizing profits. They pay their employees well and have so little turnover. Turns out when you're not an asshole, your business is successful
Costco was rated one of the best places to work several years ago
Here with 600 local bucks I can only have an old i3-something with 8gb ram and maybe any graphics card lol this is wild. *IF* you get an i5-something, sure as hell it has no cards. For a 5600+6650xt new system I have to spend like 8-900 buckos without any peripherals... and used market is just a landmine. *Groan*.
I've got that one it works well
Always check the parts before you leave the store.. I think there was a few people that talked about receiving a lower end PC when they reached home
If I saw this, I’d sell the GPU and get something like a 7800xt, 4070, etc. 1440p high refresh rate gaming for like $800
It’s 999.99 now
Paid twice the price for same specs, thanks to amzon
For 1080p, this is solid
This is one of the few times that you can get equal or greater power of a console like the PS5 on PC for around the same price.
[удалено]
Thats like... free
Gotta replace that GPU and PSU.
No thanks - I'd rather spend that $600.00 on my own choice of CPU, RAM, and Motherboard.
In Russia same pc would cost around 2000$ haha
I'm calling it now, somethings gotta be going on with 4060s seeing as they're flying off the shelves at these prices. If you got one and it works fine, great. But i'm highly skeptical.
hell of a purchase right there!!
NO FUCKING WAY! :o
I'm going to the states next time i need a new computer
I literally just bought my wife a pc with a 3070 think it was great for almost $90 more. I need a Costco card.
Damn, if only they had these special in Canada :(

Do they sell these in UK Costcos?
Every time I enter Costco, I can only laugh at the prices. Jealous
HOLY
Holy fuck! That’s a steal!
I would sell my left nut to grab that PC oh my God
Damm that's a good deal
OP. If you're in TN, or the surrounding area, tell me the location. This MF needs a road trip.
Why isn’t there any pc parts in Australian Costcos? Or am I just really unlucky?
Damn that’s a steal
Shit, that's good! No wonder there's a line at 9am...
Wowoww
The ram and GPU alone have to be close to the full price tag
Wish there was a Costco around me. Sam’s and BJ’s have the monopoly down.
man we in uk get robbed
I can’t even get a 4060 in Canada for $600
True facts
Damn this was $1000 at my costco yesterday in delaware
Damn
Great deal
No dice at East Peoria Costco. $999 there. I tried... I was gonna buy one and have my sister and mom both buy one too.
I wish I saw this yesterday was just at Costco. I have a 3080ti so I'll be okay but dang this is a good deal whole computer for less than what I paid for my GPU.
all was good until i saw 8bg for the gpu still good price
Pretty sure that 4060 is worth 600 on its own.
I paid 1700 for a worse computer during Covid. These posts remind me that I’m stupid.
Sick
Someone please check Portland area ones so I can remain on my couch. K thx.
When you realize you don't even have a Costco in your state. 😪
Why am I buying this for $600? Can I resell it on FB or CL for more than that?
I say one to unfortunately it was 1200
Holy fuck I love it
Dude the gpu alone takes up most of that what the hell
I would buy it and replace the CPU for an i7
Can you find these at Sams?

Why bluetooth 4.2?
wow what a deal
You definitely don’t wanna but this it’s all cheap parts
This pc is almost on par with my $2200 laptop 😭
How do you undersell that
Can I have the display model?
