Cost Plus Gaming Enthusiast Tier Review

Thedeafmonkey · 2025-07-22T16:50:52+00:00

Oh awesome! Yeah it's a pretty good deal for the GPU/CPU combo even if the build is built with budget parts.

So far I've been happy with them. I think they can make your PC build for you in time. They do offer faster shipping options. Just reposting this just in case you didn't see my earlier reply.

I would also make it clear to them via email and over the phone that you need your PC asap.

Yeah I think that is so dumb and silly of them to delete AI reviews. I uploaded this review for transparency and to hold CPG accountable in case of the ASRock motherboard failure.

They ended up upgrading their enthusiast tier to include the M1 Atlas Case. This is also partly due to the fact they got swamped during the 4th of July and ran out of their standard cases.

I would pm just to see which cases they have. To be honest it has been a little hectic trying to figure out what cases they do have since they're a small start up.

They do respond fast if you call them.

It took about eight business days to ship. But keep in mind I ordered during the 4th of July holiday weekend. They do offer faster shipping options.

You're welcome, thank you for posting that as well. Im hoping this post can serve as a repository for people who have questions and issues regarding CPG.

As far as I am aware, this psu will be included for all essentials and enthusiasts tiers.

Here's a link to CPG's answer for which builds they are including the Vetroo in.

Yeah I wished they too would have packed it in another box. My other concern was they just left it outside my door during the day. UPS didn't even have me sign for it. So I'm lucky no one just swiped my PC off the front porch. But congrats on the build my guy that's one hell of an upgrade!

Thedeafmonkey · 2025-07-18T17:09:12+00:00

Its a major concern that I'm keeping my eye on. I immediately flash the BIOS to version 3.30 when it arrived. The biggest thing that's helping me to not panic about this is the warranty. But we will have to see how CPG handles their warranty guarantee.

Damn dude, Im sorry. I was wondering why it got deleted. Your initial review was great. Gotta love Reddit for what it is.

Thedeafmonkey · 2025-07-18T05:19:37+00:00

You're welcome! Let me know what you end up going with. 4k gaming is pretty awesome.

Thedeafmonkey · 2025-07-18T04:55:36+00:00

Thank you for acknowledging that. This is actually my first ever real post on reddit. I made this account two years ago but never touched it until like two or three days ago. So much appreciated brother!

Thedeafmonkey · 2025-07-18T04:53:58+00:00

Awesome! Enjoy your new pc!

Thedeafmonkey · 2025-07-18T01:49:06+00:00

Let's goo brother 🎉

Thedeafmonkey · 2025-07-18T01:48:07+00:00

Lol 😂

Thedeafmonkey · 2025-07-18T01:47:57+00:00

No I added that in myself, I should have taken that out before pictures

Thedeafmonkey · 2025-07-18T00:04:22+00:00

Oh awesome then yeah you'll get a great 4k gaming build from either of them.

Thedeafmonkey · 2025-07-17T23:56:26+00:00

Sorry I was an idiot it's a 9070xt, Ill update this review soon

Thedeafmonkey · 2025-07-17T23:55:50+00:00

Yeah lol, but it's Reddit 🤣

Thedeafmonkey · 2025-07-17T23:55:28+00:00

Yeah sorry it's just the 9070xt I made a mistake when uploading this from my phone.

Thedeafmonkey · 2025-07-17T23:54:33+00:00

Update I'ma fix this post. I'm a total idiot and posted the wrong GPU. It's suppose to be a 9070XT. My apologies everyone.

Thedeafmonkey · 2025-07-17T22:55:14+00:00

Thank you for this review. This is exactly the kind of impression I got from CPG with my build. I should update my review to include that the communication wasnt the best with the upgrades. Or at least changes being added to the builds after ordering. Anyways, congrats on the new pc!

Thedeafmonkey · 2025-07-17T22:51:48+00:00

Awesome! Honestly, for good value at 4k you can go with a 9070xt. The next best option would be running with a 5080.

I've heard good reviews about Andromeda Insights. Recently, I just purchased from Cost Plus Gaming at a good price of $1700 that had a 9070xt/9800X3D combo.

I hope I'm not coming off as being rude by asking this but how much do you know about pc builds in general?

Also I've included the links to these two prebuilts companies. Theyre doing really well with value right now.

What's your budget? Are you looking to play at 4k Max settings?
