It's tough out there. Getting components for a first gaming build feels like a war right now. The memory crisis and AI-driven hardware rush have pushed prices to the point where even talking about a good deal feels like rubbing salt in the wound. So here is one more story about someone who walked into Costco for groceries and walked out with a gaming rig that should cost over $2,000.

The story comes from Reddit user u/klcp20, who was doing their weekly Costco grocery run when they spotted the last remaining iBUYPOWER gaming PC on display. The system originally retailed for $1,899, but Costco had marked it down to $1,140. After tax, the total came to just $1,220. The receipt also included a $4.99 rotisserie chicken, which might just be the only item that offered better value than the PC itself.

The specs are what make this genuinely jaw-dropping. Inside the box is an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070, 32GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 2TB SSD. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D alone still carries a hefty premium, and the RTX 5070 isn't exactly a budget GPU either.

But the real gut punch is the memory and storage. In the current market, 32GB of DDR5 and a 2TB SSD combined could easily run close to $1,000 on their own. So it's easy to see why this configuration would normally cost well over $2,000 at current retail prices. At just $1,220, the shopper didn't need much convincing to take the last unit home. The shopper also scored a free keyboard and mouse that came bundled with the system, making the deal even sweeter.
