About this deal
This deal is expired. Here are some options that might interest you:
£100 off from tomorrow. I am looking to spend about this much on a new PC for my son - the old second hand one I got during lock down is on its last legs. I’m not sure if this is good or not but it will be £100 cheaper than it was! I am genuinely interested in whether or not this is a good deal before I go for it. If anyone can suggest anything better please do.

so for £690, u got a higher gen nvme, gold psu, 4060 better bseries,
so costco: perfect for the ones that want it inc with windows pal.
Fairly solid spec+price for a white pre-build. Some may probably say it's a bit expensive for what it is and that you could build a better spec on your own, but for vast majority who don't want to do that, this is a reasonable deal. It will play all the latest games very well at 1080p and comfortably at 1440p with a few settings dialled down (edited)
Looks pretty good and includes Windows, most of the time when people build themselves they don't factor in the cost of Windows, which is fine but SIs do have to pay that price. Building from scratch won't be for everyone anyway, some people just want to plug in and go. I can't knock it, seems great for the money, not sure how much you could even save after factoring time, etc into it.- rule of thumb with costco gaming machines.
- If its not a green price its than over priced, its a simple logic for us hukers..
Tomorrow as stated it will be green price; so were on to winner as long as it suits.
12400F 6Core 12Thread £135
H610 Motherboard (better than A520 as its a 4.0 board, which u need for 4060!!!) £60
- so dont be fooled by them 5600X / 4060 over price garbo on the web
- and than they insultant us with A520, on a GPU that needs it 4.0: CCL/Box/Scan..
550/600W Bronze PSU by various of brands (it will be budget) £40 (gamemax)
Corsair 16GB 3200mhz 2x8 sticks. £35
X=Air Case (nice budget case my daughter has it in white too) £50
1TB nvme (it will be a low grade) £45(prices on the way up)
Basic wifi card £12
RTX 4060 by various brands, £310 - there typical shop price, obvious we hukers we get afew deals on this.
that then is price to sell at:
and than juicy bonus for us fussy ones, 1) build for next to nothing, 2) no over charge on windows either.
windows is one of them thing, one user will see this as bargain with it, and others no care**
and that is how costco green deals by awd go.
**can this be beaten: if u dont need it with windows i can match it with a little juice in parts via 12400F/H610 or 5600X/B550 with a better psu. and that is featuring the 4060
however if u did for the comp, there is better value heading for a 3060 12GB and undercutting in cost,
You know who i mean, same story...
this is a cracking find, more so for people who want windows inc in their system on top of excellent value.
cracking find OP, (edited)
Where can you get the better deal without windows? Tyia 
I have a quest 3 and have seen that on a pc you can play some "normal" pc games in VR mode now due to some sort of injector.
Would this PC be okay for that and then viewed on the Quest 3??
That would be the new mod engine called "UEVR"- that transforms unreal engine 4 and 5 games into VR playable games...was playing Robocop and returnal tonight - just works once 'injected'. PC's like this will handle VR well!
Could someone who has received it share their first impressions about this PC, please? Performance, noise, pros, cons, etc.
I have ordered it last night and wonder how good it is or cancel it.
Thanks
Received mine last week. Performance seems good,been playing Starfield with settings mostly on V high and a rock solid 60fps. You can get this higher. Its a quiet machine although I havnt really stress tested it yet. It comes with a wi fi dongle and for me it was giving me really poor speeds and when I used one of my own more expensive ones with an antenna it improved alot, also the dongle is hidden away in the motherboard box you get with the machine so don't lose that. I had no issues with set up at all, totally plug and play. Personally I'm made up with it, do a bit of research around decent monitors for it and it's a really good gaming machine. I have no regrets with buying it at all.
[deleted]
Sorry in what games do any of those consoles actually hit 120fps? With the exception of e sports and indie games none. Now a lot of games are releasing locked at 30fps which is what will be happening going forward. At least with pc you have the option of unlocking the framerate and tweaking settings. And you would be able to swap the gpu out in 4 years time to then upgrade it without upgrading the rest to get another 4 years out of it.
Would cost about £700 to build without a copy of Windows, might get it for £600-650 if you really shop around.
Good deal imo.
I genuinely cannot believe how out of touch some of these comments are where they think this will only perform at 1080p.
This would comfortably perform at 1440p for most AAA at 60fps+
My old system with a 9600k and a 3060 was performing at 1440p nicely at mid settings.
Yeah it blows my mind too, when I had a 3070 system a couple years ago or so, people told me it would be great for 1080p…
Yee… I was gaming in 4K on it lol (not in high/ultra settings mind you) (edited)
Pardon my ignorance, but is there VAT to add on top of this £699.99 price, please?The price includes the VAT.
Not sure how they compare but I’ve got a 12400f / 3060ti combo and it plays 1440p all day for me, and that’s on UW so standard 1440 should be fine. Also, works great for in house streaming using Sunshine/Moonlight.3060ti is maybe on avg 5% slower I would imagine,some games 5-10% faster,faster memory speeds on 3060ti
Back in stock again
AuthorThanks so much for letting me know. After posting the deal I didn’t get round to buying it! I have now gone for it and will unexpire it now (just wanted to get mine first before doing it!)
How to get a Costco membership? I am new in the UK sorry for my ignorance
You buy it at the same time as buying the PC, there will be an option to sign up for membership at the checkout when you are buying the PC
Honestly can't recommend buying an 8gb GPU in 2024. Nvidia are total cheapskates these days. Many modern titles already use more than 8gb vram, when this buffer is exceeded, your framerate turns into a stuttering mess. Honestly don't know how anyone can consider spending £300 on a card that is on the cusp of obsolete from day one.
Consider the 6700 / XT 12GB for similar price or 6800 16GB for a bit more. If you keep giving nvidia your money for these overpriced cards, they'll keep raising the prices.
EDIT: Forgot what year it was. (edited)
8GB is still fine for mostly everything. It's the few outliers that are heavy. Though with them turning down shadows and texture res helps a fair bit. Still you'd think this card would have come in 12GB models, especially for the cost. 60 series cards were supposed to be the cheaper lower/mid range option, yet look what these cards cost on their own. NV is really stingy with the VRAM though. You could get 8GB RX580s in 2017. (edited)- Argos have 1/3rd off of this one, any good? I don’t have a Costco membership and I’m drawn in by the savings but know very little about tech specs
argos.co.uk/pro…186?clickPR=plp:2:37No that's terrible 
Judging by the heat it's getting, will this PC take me to outer space or what?CCL did send one to space, was it a 4060? they did send a pc to space haha. but i forgot the product now.
RTX 4060 Marketing has been one of them pal:, If you have been interested in a product of I.T, it is without a doubt that u would of been targeting for an RTX 4060 product.
Dare you enter search terms of RTX 4060 prebuilts, Your cookies are now dipped in fresh chocolate and u got scavengers hunting them cookies.
so most of the voters will base on what they see on the whole idea against what there use to.
Were talking usual spec is around £850 upto a £1000 in prebult, i know what can done for that spend much better than this, but if ur not use to that this deal standards out from the normality what there use to seeing for this card.
not forget the free windows in the calc on top too, which is a cherry on top for some than others, i think its a cracking £700 system for typical prebuilt users.
im not saying its 100% perfect, if u want to pick at the elements, u could do so, i could a list on em, but to correct it means more cash, and if they had more cash, they wouldnt be on it.
budget £700 prebuilt, with windows. u aint getting better then this anywhere, without win we got alt options, and if u wait "without win too" that new AMD card inbound soon could be interesting for this budget range too. hmm maybe, (edited)
So mine has arrived today, but somewhat I assumed it will be all built up - I’m at work so not seen it myself yet, not sure if anything missing either I’ll update tonight. But currently I’m quite concerned of the delivery 😄
Also main power cable is not present either, kinda assumed it will be included lol.
(edited)
received mine this morning, although not set up yet power cable is in the box you referenced in picture and appears fully pre built- Confirmed information:
X=Air Case
intel 12400F 6Core 12thread CPU With Asus H610 Motherboard (backup: MSI H610 Motherboard)
FX Pro 600W Bronze PSU
Origin 1TB Nvme
RTX 4060 by MSI or Zotac
Adata Value 3200mhz CL22
Windows O/S
2nd Review:
Based on the above information for £700 inclusive of windows is a fantastic System, ive given u information on the alt deals without, which are only a little bit better without windows. and were only talking fractional better that feature the 4060.
and if u hate the 4060; move on.
my personal recomendation if ur thinking of buy a cheaper system and upgrade laters; No. this isnt the idea best for it.
this is perfect for the typical easy done prebuilt buyer at £700.00 use it, abuse it, sell it when u want to upgrade, and with more and more ideas that will come on in respect of next generation GPU/CPU's DD5 Rams, its the way forward.
buy today, enjoy today, than get rid of it. restart in a new chapter for the next gen budgets or u got higher spends for a more serious gamer later; so many above; oh u could do this to and add in a 14th gen or upgrade that or change this
Buy this today for £700.00 resell in a year for £500.00 in a year, compare it next gens £700 to see if its worth banging in a £200 investment, or £300 or £400
£200 loss over 12 months = 54pence.
Vs some poor sod whos gonna buy this exact spec from scan at £850 and gonna loose 95p per day. (edited)
Hiya mate, I do appreciate the insight you give on all these kind of deals. I saw you posted a few other deals in this thread. My main thinking was to buy this and then in a few years upgrade if needed but just saw your comment you wouldn't recommend itbfor the Costco one. Which would be best in terms of future proofing myself at this price point. I 
Following this and all gaming pc deals. Back in the mid 90’s I used to build my own, now it’s all changed!
Got about £1100 to spend and in the Costco site, they are doing an i7-14700k, 4060 ti, 16gb DDR5, water cooling, 1tb nvme for £1300. I’ve done e a pallicomp compare with nearest fit parts and the nearest is 13 gen i7 but the 4060ti is a 16gb.
Also they are doing the 11th gen i9 that got cold voted for 1099.00
I’m really confused. Save for the Costco 14700 or take the 11th gen i9?
I thought
Consider building your own if you're at least a bit tech savvy or look at some prebuilt deals directly from Pre-built companies. There are plenty guides on YT. Below are the two I personally used
I'd strongly advise against anything older than 12gen CPUs as there's 0 upgrade path CPU-wise. Even with 14700k, powerful as it is, you have no further upgrade path bar 14900 capable of heating the whole household. AMD's AM5 seems a bit more future proof ATM. Plenty of people here at hand to ask questions and engage in discussion and to give solid advice.- Guys, I have purchased this below- after work discounts and cashback it costed me £1190 - is it a good buy for the money or should I cancel and get the Costco one??? Any info is appreciated I’m not very good with pc’s building nor I owned one for the last 15 years…. Is the £490 more for below can be justified for comparison with the deal? dell.com/en-uk/shop/desktop-computers/alienware-aurora-r16-gaming-desktop/spd/alienware-aurora-r16-desktop/dawr1602 (edited)Looks overpriced to me, with Dell/Alienware you pay for the design (if you like it) and established support but they still have some proprietary parts inside whereas with the Costco pre-builts by AWD, you get standard parts that can be swapped and changed. If the Dell meets your specs though and you’re happy it should be fine.
- Do we know what PSU has been fitted in this PC? Hearing it may possibly be a Gamermax PSU that a little googling suggests they are not the best?They are using FX pro on this line.
Ok, silly question alert....but do modern PCs no longer have drive bays? I have some old skool 3.5" drives and an SSD but can't work out where they would go in that case?
Or if the kit contains the necessary power cables / data cables etc?
I'm coming from Dell Dimension mini tower that has power/sata on a connected cable into drive bays (edited)Many don't as most people don't use really drives any more but some cases still have drive bays for those that want to. Be Quiet Pure Base 600, Phanteks Enthoo, the new Coolermaster HAFX or Fractal Focus G off the top of my head have 3.5" drive bays. That internal bay stacking structure is not as common these days with the move to M.2 and SSD being the 'older tech' rather than big mechanical drives.
For SSDs, new style cases usually have mounts in them so they are installed somewhere unobtrusive. Maybe on the side without the window, maybe on the base. They don't usually come with the relavant sata cables but they're easy to get if you don't have them (and your PSU/motherboard box doesn't have them, check there first).
is this good enough for having quest 2 linked
Yep will handle VR for the quest 2 brilliantly.
How big is this? ATX or Micro?Micro from the picture.- Such a shame that the mobo details are not published, for me, number ram slots, sata connectors, SSD slots etc are all important informationIt's a prebuilt so just expect lower end.
- I don't understand why people would want to pay £700 for a PC that could only run games at 1080pIt can't even run 1080p high in some of the latest games and with the VRAM amount from 2016
- Could this play ms flight sim and on what settings?
If you just want to play flight sim, buy a Series S for like £150-200. Runs great 
Can non-members buy this?Don't think so - you would need the online membership (£15 p/a)
I ordered the £1,300 AWD-IT for my brother for Christmas and had a horrific experience.
I didn’t realise when ordering but these are sent direct from manufacturer, not Costco warehouse so should anything go wrong, you end up dealing with AWD.
The first parcel was damaged in transit and had AWD pulled their finger out, they could have still got the PC to my brother in time for Christmas.
Hours and hours worth of phone calls and emails between Costco and AWD to have the PC eventually turn up January 6th.
It was immensely stressful dealing with AWD. They couldn’t find my order, then couldn’t find the returned PC, failed to provide callbacks when promised and ultimately the PC arrived late.
I was offered a 3 month Xbox game pass for my troubles 🤦🏻♂️
I have to agree AWT are a mare to deal with. Currently they want me to video my PSU not working and send them pictures of my pc before they fix it. Tempting to just return to Costco despite it having been an excellent deal. Either that or go out if pocket buying a new power supply myself ... (edited)- I am looking to buy a gaming laptop or desktop for the first time. Would the specs of this desktop be good enough for game development work (Unreal Engine, programming, 3D modelling, etc.)?
Also, does anyone know whether this AWD-IT gaming desktop is better than the laptop here, specs-wise? hotukdeals.com/dea…223
Yes this desktop is much better than the laptop specs wise.
Desktop 4060 will beat a laptop 4050 ofc.
This desktop will be decent for game dev work in UE and things. 
Can someone please advise if this is supposed to work straight out of the box? Connected to a monitor today using hdmi and nothing comes up. The led light indicator seems to suggest it's a "no vga detected error". Not a PC expert so any help will be greatly appreciated. ThanksMake sure you connect your monitor to the GPU and not the motherboard
Thanks, assuming I already have windows and a case, would cost me about £600 to build?If you have windows and a case, it would cost £650 with cheapest* parts I could find
Part list: uk.pcpartpicker.com/lis…njH
*you can get a cheaper power supply but you probably want a bit of headroom for the future. Also having modularity and some effiencey rating is good.
You can also get slightly cheaper on the motherboard but m.2 support and WiFi is nice.- What delivery company is used for this?AuthorDPD delivered mine
- It's roughly the sum of its parts, in terms of performance be fine for 1080p so a great mid/budget pc
If you've got a case and working psu you could upgrade to the same level for less, probably £500-£600 if you've got a case and psu
This PC will easily perform very well on 1440p 
Only thing that would put me off that is the CPU but even then it’s not badeveryones entitled to their thoughts but if there was a side to moan at on this prebuilt id expect it to be the card, 12400F is a stunning CPU
even if it was a 12100F system at this price it be still good.- Bargain, this will play any game you throw at it.
Crysis: “Hello there.” (edited) - Thinking about getting this for my son. When it comes to upgrade time could I swap out the CPU and graphics card, or would there be additional bits to change to facilitate this? TIADepends what you are changing to but it should have some upgrades available. It's a standard build by AWD-IT so should be decent and won't have proprietary parts inside, you might be limited by the PSU depending on what they fitted (if it's some basic 600W for example).
- If you do have £115 extra dont forget this one either:
- AMD Ryzen 7 5700X (3.4/4.6Ghz)
- ASUS PRIME B550M-A WIFI
- ADATA 16GB DDR4 3200Mhz
- ADATA 2TB M.2 nVME Legend 800
- KOLINK Observatory HF Mesh - Black
- Bronze 700W PSU
- AMD RX6700 XT 12GB
- MICROSOFT Windows 10/11 64Bit
Price: £814.99 - when opening the link and exchange case to Kolink Observ HF.
6Core intel into a 8Core Ryzen £30
H610 Board in to B550 £20 (discredit the wifi element vs wifi card)
6700XT is worth £25 more then 4060 (deal vs deal area there..)
1Tb vs 2TB worth £30
3 Fan case vs 6fan case worth £10 imo.
there is £100 extra bigger brother folks. "for the ones that want windows too"
ive seen afew comment, if u shop about u can get the 4060 in a better prebuilt; and then there saying £50 less; this is complete untrue ive given the links that are close slight edge but without windows, only a slight edge, there is a 4060 like this 12400F we speak on at 650w
ccl were talk much more, scan is £850, same with box, ebuyer, falcon, if magical happens and there 4060 on the web at £650 its gonna feature a ryzen 4500 with A520 and that is rubbish combination ever with a 480GB SSD and if u got something to say, show us the links then just run ur mouth as the prebuilt market in many budgets is really dreadful, this is one of them budgets, im not a full backer of the 4060 and much pref a 6700XT, but again thats another gpu thats hell in prebuilts, i can get the deal working just nice at a £815 area for the 6700XT
but i cant get them or anyone else down on the 6700XT, i cant get it worth dropping to 1TB 5600x/12400F and infact the less part links are more cost then the higher spec and that is how the prebuilt market is atm. (edited)Not bad for the price but keep in mind that you wIll have to do a platform exchange if and when you decide to upgrade (which means new RAM, new MOBO and new CPU).
Personally I'd probably try to straight away go for AM5 which should give you an upgrade path, but you'll likely struggle to find something at this price.
Weighing those positives and negatives (edited) 
Never shop at costco, how can I get this without buying costco membership?
You could hang around the carpark and mug someone who bought it?
Otherwise, no, you need membership.
Good deal
Hot spec for the money
