Decent Value from Costco??

[Savko]

Hey guys! I'm looking at getting a new gaming desktop and I've been getting fairly discouraged with current prices. Im not looking for anything super top end as I'll mainly be playing things like Overwatch, Witcher 3, SC2, etc. 60fps would be lovely.

 

I saw this desktop at Costco and was hoping to get sone opinions on specs and value.

 

Let me know your opinions!!

 

This is in Canadian Dollars.

You could probably do better building one yourself that includes an i5 8400.

Didn't even see that. Good catch

Probably still a bit better value

It's not a bad price. But given that it is a previous generation cpu, not a great price either.
