iBUYPOWER - Y40 PRO Gaming Desktop PC - AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, AMD Radeon RX 9070XT 16GB, 32GB DDR5 RGB,2TB NVMe - Black

Confirmed same components as everyone else. The system was well assembled by the SI. No cables were loose. XMP/Expo was enabled. The unit powered on the first time. The thermals were solid under benchmark. So why only 3 stars? First, I don’t like the white GPU in the black case. The pictures on the website show a full black/grey setup and my desk and peripherals are all black and red. I wanted a black system so I could set the lights to red and everything would match. Second, the components are not terrible, but they are as cheap as possible. The power supply is not modular so there is a massive clump of cables under the PSU shroud. The RAM is only 5200 MHz which means you can’t use 1:1 mode with the CPU. This is a performance loss and 6000 CL30 is very cheap, even from the same Geil Orion brand they are using. Retail it only costs like 3 dollars more for the proper memory. Third, the fans are a little loud with the curves as received and when I installed fan control I was annoyed at the way they are connected to the motherboard. The 3 fans on the AIO are connected to separate controls and even using fancontrol there was no way for me to reduce the pump speed slightly to eliminate the whine. The case fans were hooked up to some kind of controller and I also could not adjust their speed. Finally, the OEM version of the motherboard they use has no heat sinks on the Voltage Regulator Modules. I’m sure it is fine but there is the chance that they overheat at some point and your CPU gets throttled. If you price out middle of the road components this machine would look like a decent deal, but considering you have to pay 100 dollars to replace the RAM to get the proper performance it should have and their use of the “bottom of the barrel” OEM-only motherboard the value seems mediocre to me. If you want a decent system that works well out of the box I think this is a solid choice from a trusted system integrator. If you are a power user who wants to tweak things a bit or upgrade later you can build a significantly better system yourself and save a few hundred dollars, even if you buy the GPU for a 100-150 dollar markup over MSRP.

Parts list i got: PSU:High Power 850w (GDF12S) NonModular; B+ Rating on the psu tier list. Motherboard:Msi pro series mobo B650 VC-wifi. Has m.2 slots, one with a 2TB ADATA nvme ssd. GPU: Steel legends 9070xt 16GB (white)triple fan Hyte y40 case (black) RAM Kit:GeIL orion V ddr5 2x16gb CPU:Amd ryzen 7 9800x3D Fans: 3 INTAKE(2 on the side one under cover next to power supply) 4 Exhaust fans (1 rear, 3 on cooler) 360mm AIO cooler. The parts are alright. It wasn't "plug and play" for me. Always a possibility that something becomes loose in transit. The riser cable was not seated fully. Had to remove the gpu and unscrew the riser to be able to seat it on the motherboard pcei slot. The avg person purchasing a prebuilt might have thought the gpu was dead on arrival due to no picture out and the fans not spinning on the gpu. 4 stars for the troubleshooting portion. Ingnoring that price for all components, this is at target buying parts individually. Especially with gpus not being at msrp.

I purchased this as my first gaming pc. Always had apple products. Inpurchased to run pcvr on metabquest 3. Out the box had some stutter issues as i wanted to stream not be plugged via quest link cable. Took some tweaking but WOW!!!! Runs half life alyx 120 fps no problem on ultra setting. The white 9070 xt with rgb was a nice touch. 360mm liquid cooler was a great value at this price. And i could not find a build close to this under 2900. Would highley recomend.

I got my computer about 3-4 days earlier than originally expected which was great. Components within the machine are the same as the other review here. Only had one loose plug, which was easy enough to plug back in. The boot up was simple and only needed to update the gpu driver after booting. The mouse feels really cheap but gets the job done; the keyboard has been completely fine. The packaging seemed to hold up well in transit as well. Only reason this wont get a 5 star is because ive had it for a few days and i cant say something is perfect that hasnt been put through the ringer over the course of time.

Had to keep resetting CMOS just for set up. And then once I got through set up, still had to keep resetting CMOS. In other words it does not boot on its own. this company needs to update everything so it’s ready to go out of the box. I could not enter bios to update it to the latest version which addresses the boot issues from what I see on the website for my motherboard model. It kept throwing a resolution error, which tells me the bios is in a weird resolution for my TV or something else. Very disappointed. Best Buy sent it back for a replacement. Hopefully this one works.
