Ive been a console gamer for a longer time and purchased a steam deck a few years ago and love it. With most console games now coming go PC I was thinking of obtaining a gaming rig. i was curious about your opinions on these from Costco. How are they spec wise and what kind of performance can I expect to get out of it?
Thanks, again I am new to this!

Hello Fallen-Omega, and thank you for your submission to Gaming PC! If you are new please check out our rules over at the wiki [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/gamingpc/wiki/rules)!
We have recently added the useful feature of Title Flair! You can set this manually by clicking Flair under your post once you have submitted your post, but if you missed it in the rules there is a much better way that will automatically flair your post!
To do this simply add what your post is about in brackets before your title. For example for a Build Log you can type [Build Log] before your post so that it looks like this; [Build Log]My new awesome build!, and the bot will automatically set your flair to Build Log! This works for Build Log, Build Showcase, News, Hardware News, Hardware Release, Discussion, and Miscellaneous!
Also remember that this is a place for discussing and sharing our love of Gaming Computers! This is NOT the place for help building or determining what parts you should buy, that is better suited for /r/buildapc. Troubleshooting questions should be directed to /r/techsupport. Thank you again!

Thats terrible for the price but not a terrible pc, i mean the real value is around 1000 or less
You can achieve light gaming performance with these specs
Both are quite bad, CPU is on a dead platform and you’re gambling stability and integrity thanks to 13th and 14th gen issues. The first rig only comes with 16 GB of RAM, that’s almost an insult considering the price. The graphics card isn’t the worst but definitely not the best option, 8 GB of VRAM is a limitation for some modern games.
Could probably build this for 1000 dollars brand new.
the 1299.99 is 125$ cpu, 300$ gpu on amazon. if you add 400$ for decent case, power supply, ram, ssd(though u could get cheaper for less) and 100-200$ for motherboard.
The second pc just upgrades the other cpu slightly and ram/ssd size. Which would be like 200$ more but its 300$ increase.
Overall not worth it, you’re spending like 300-400$ extra.
But depends if you care about that or not. Since you’re getting someone else to build it for you and warranty obviously. Which not everyone is willing to do themselves.
