I have had this CPU for over a month now, Playing Total War Atilla, Skyrim and Goo, all maxed out. Make sure to check all the wiring when it arrives and the 2nd Drive needs to be configured out of the box, only takes 10 minutes, plenty of YouTube videos out there. For the price, You cant beat the Power. I don know how I lived without a SSD, Boots up in seconds.

bought this pc may of 15 and ran it stock for a year and its been great for games, the ssd drive holds windows and boots up fast like a mac, the 2nd 1t hard drive is included but wasn't set up to use, ( click the folder on bottom task bar then right click "this pc" then left click "manage" then left click "disk managment" you will see the drive on the bottom right click it and select "new simple volume" and run through the set up wizard. The phantom 240 case has great air flow with 1 intake fan at the bottom front and 1 exhaust fan in rear top. your able to add another intake fan in the front and bottom center with 2 more exhaust fans in the top of case. The mother board ms 7817 is good but only holds one graphics card and has 4 sata cable connections so you can add an extra hard drive the processor intel i7 4790k 4.00 ghz is very good gtx 960 graphics card 2gb will run new games like bf4 cod acu aliens wow, nfs and the division fine, it has a bit trouble with arma 3 and ark survival evolved and slight stutter with acu unity on ultra settings power source is only 500 watt but handles the stock system fine. for the money its a great computer to get into pc gaming. what ive upgraded and would recommend to others down the road would be upgrading to corsair 850 watt power supply $120 (which had the main plug to mother board and an 8 pin wire that splits in half to connect to the other 4 pin adapter on the mother board, all other connections were easy to connect.) i would also go with the gtx 970 4gb gpu for about $350, or jump to the gtx 980 ti 6gb ($650), as the 980 ti is only a hundred more than the gtx 980 4gb ($550), and runs about 20 frames per second on ultra settings. the last thing i would upgrade is the cpu cooling fan for 50 bucks once you upgrade the graphics card and overclock the processor. this system with an evga nvidia 980 ti gpu, 850 watt psu, and better processor cooling fan with an extra hard drive will run the price near to 2300 but is still cheaper than an imac and will run games with graphics that look better than real life for some time to come, but even if you keep the original gtx 960 gpu download evga percision x to controll your graphics card fan speed and easily set your cpu fan speed through bios. also the middle case in the front that holds extra drives removes if you need more room for cables or a big gpu... great gaming pc well beyond the capabilities of any console ...included 2 stock pictures

This is an IBuyPower, i7-4790k CPU, it has 4.00 Ghz processing speed, 64 bit operating system, 16 Gb of RAM, a NVIDIA G Force 960 video card, and 1 Tb of Hard Drive. This is an awesome gaming CPU for the on line gamer which will easily handle all existing on line games. Great Price and assistance from the Sales People at Best Buy that was available through their Marketplace purchase program. Drawback. When the CPU arrived to my home the Hard Drive was not properly installed and was not attached. It was loose in the approximate position of where it should be installed so I had to take advantage of being a Geek Squad member to get it set up properly and inspected before I even turned it on.
