  • Key Specs
    • Processor Model: Intel 8th Generation Core i5 (Your computer's processor is like its brain. Working in combination with system memory, the power of the processor determines the complexity of software you can run, how many programs you can have open at the same time, and how fast those programs will run. Most computers feature an AMD, Intel or Snapdragon processor.)
    • Storage Type: SSD
    • Total Storage Capacity: 240 gigabytes
    • System Memory (RAM): 8 gigabytes (Random-access memory (RAM) is a computing device's short-term data storage, which allows active information to be accessed quickly. The size and type of RAM determines how efficiently the device can handle large amounts of information at one time. For example, gaming or video editing requires more RAM for optimal performance.)

Ethernet data transmission speeds are measured in Mbps (megabits per second) and Gbps (gigabits per second). For example, a 10/100 Ethernet port transmits 10 and 100 Mbps, while a 10/100/1000 Ethernet port transmits 10 and 100 Mbps and has a maximum speed of 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps).)

Q: So there are no slots for additional standard desktop hard drives? Only one more slot for a small SSD or laptop drive?

A: I will answer this question myself, even though im the one who asked it! if you take off the side of the case behind the motherboard, there are 2 slots for standard HDD drives. So in total i have 2 HDD and 3 SSD in this machine now (3rd SSD is "floating loose".

Q: Could I add a 1tb hard drive to this PC?

A: Yes you can. You can add it as SSD 2.5”, or as M.2. Or as HDD versions. I added a 500 gb m.2 nvme hard drive.

Q: Would you say this computer is decent for updrading? I'd be looking to add my GTX 1050 ti, a HDD as a secondary drive, and probably another stick of ram. How much space is available in the case? What's the PSU like?

A: Hey Shelby, Your application for this unit is perfect! Everything is modular and can be replaced. There is plenty of space in this case for a graphics card. The PSU is a 400W power supply. If you have additional question or need further assistance, please feel to contact our support team: https://www.ibuypower.com/Support Thank you!

Q: can you do stretch resolution?

A: Hi Anthony, Being able to achieve stretched resolution will depend on your monitor and your ability to play around with the settings until you have the viewing settings that suit you. Thank you.

Q: if I buy this pc will I be able to play fortnite with good graphics and no freezes

A: Hello, This computer can run Fortnite, but most likely not at the settings you prefer. The reason for that is, this computer is intended as a start up computer meant for upgrading as it lacks a graphics card. When you play Fortnite on this computer it'll rely on the chips integrated graphics. If you want to use this computer for more intensive gaming, it is recommended you get a graphics card. Thank you for the question.

Q: Where is the "next generation" wifi card? How do I turn it on? The only option the machine is giving me is hard-wired.

A: My computer came with a small usb device that looks kinda like a thumb drive. Plug it into your usb port and it works as a wifi 'interceptor'. It is working great for my system. I just wish it had more usb ports. Hope this helps.

Q: I know the manufacturer of the motherboard may vary depending on what IBP has in stock, but which 'chipset' is being used in this build? Does this have a factory motherboard or a mutated -IB motherboard?

A: Hi n2guns, This computer uses a H310-Plus motherboard. If you have additional questions or need further assistance, please feel to contact our support team: https://www.ibuypower.com/Support Thank you!

Q: Hi. I have two questions. What is the Ram configuration? Is it two 4gb or one 8gb? Also if I put in a GTX 1080 Which requires 180w, would This power supply be able to handle that?

A: Hi Tyrone, This PC has 1 stick of 8GB RAM. If you plan on upgrading the graphics card, you will need to upgrade the PSU as well. Please make sure the other parts are also compatible as well.
