iBUYPOWER - Gaming Desktop - Intel Core i7-9700K - 16GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER - 1TB HDD + 480GB SSD - Black

For a while I've been saving up to buy a gaming PC. I always played games on the PC, but didn't really get into it until Nvidia came out with the GeForce 600 series back in 2012. My first gaming machine was the Lenvo y500 laptop that ran two gt 650 in sli. This machine was able to carry me for the next 4 years, but as games became technically more demanding, I had to upgrade. at that time, upgrading for me meant purchasing another gaming laptop that came with a gtx 1060 6gb version. The laptop was able to carry me for another few years until I realized that I was in need of another upgrade. Buying another gaming laptop was out of the question because of how costly it can get on the long run and how difficult it is to upgrade its components. So when the time came for an upgrade, I chose to build my own pc/look at prebuilt towers. I was lucky to have come across this desktop during the black friday sale. This thing is a beast! I am currently revisiting Far Cry 5 and playing the new Call of Duty MW on ultra with max settings...and WOOOOOOOO... this thing runs these games as smooth as maple syrup running down a tall stalk of hotcakes with Michael Bolton music playing in the background. YOU FEEL ME? Can I also say that this computer is also quiet? At the loudest, these fans sound like quiet whispers that tell me "it's okay friend keep gaming we'll keep this rig cool." Thank you iBuyPower for making such a great rig. I appreciate the RGB and the included liquid cooling system for the processor. This PC will last me for a while. The ONLY thing that I have to say about my experience with this product is that the webkey it came with would not work! I needed that to give ya'll a review and share my love. Other than that, many thanks!

As a first time buyer of a desktop I wanted to spend the time saving for parts and build my own rig. I managed to stumble upon this rig while "window shopping" due to being overly excited and spent a long time thinking about my decision. Having parted it, I ended up saving about 60 bucks with the sale price that Best Buy was offering and since I wanted to put similar parts into my build, as you've guessed by now, I've made the choice to buy this pre-built beast. It was neatly packaged, the cable management could have been a little better but it wasn't terrible, and all the ports on the MB were properly aligned (included in this review due to some of the complaints). To add to that, it booted up clean first go. So far I've been thoroughly impressed, it's run all my games on Ultra with ease even when I was streaming. The temps run a little hot (90c was the peak while intentionally pushing it to the limit) but that should be manageable with a few tiny tweaks. Overall this is a clean build, it's a powerhouse, and I am excited to spend many hours gaming my little heart away.

I was initially reluctant to purchase this unit. Coming from consoles, I was looking to get a gaming PC (to play Fallout 3 and NV, to be honest) to experience the other side of video games. After doing some research, I was considering either building my own PC or buying a pre-built (which most people in the PC community seem to discourage). For the price (I got it on the Black Friday sale for $1,500), I am very pleased. The unit is a bit bigger than I imagined, but not by much. The RGB lights look amazing and can be controlled by your mobo's software (mine is an Asrock), and I checked both the left and right panels to make sure everything was plugged in when I inspected parts during the initial setup. Everything was in order and it was just a matter of plugging the PC in. Software-side, everything was a breeze. So far, I've played Fallout, edited in Premiere and will play the new Modern Warfare soon (as I got it with the purchase of an RTX card with this unit). All-in-all, I can not recommend this unit enough. I've only used it for a few days though so take that into account. If anything changes, I will be sure to update my review and let BB/IBP know. Cheers.

This PC is great, it will literally run anything I throw at it at very high settings. Arma 3, Squad, Insurgency: Sandstorm, Metro Exodus, Grand Theft Auto, Rising Storm 2 and everything else. It's a great overall PC for a great price. I purchased this PC on Cyber Monday for an even better price. I do have some issues with this PC however. To start, there is the absolutely horrendous wire management. I would expect from a professional PC building company to at least build the thing with precision and the ease of use for the consumer in mind. I am very disappointed with it to say the least. What if I wanted to install another hard drive? I can barely tell which wire from the other? Speaking of hard drives, where would I even put them? There is only one, tiny bay that holds the current HDD. I looked it up and people say you can simply place another hard drive on top?? It doesn't help that I will definitely have trouble installing another hard drive because of the awful wire arrangement (if I could call it that). You will definitely want another hard drive because 1TB won't cut it for most modern games as they keep getting larger in file. Other than that, it works as intended, but you might run into an issue upon first booting up your PC. The PC might tell you that windows failed to install or something around those lines. Here is a link of a thread with someone who had the same issue with it being answered in one of the replies, https://www.reddit.com/r/iBUYPOWER/comments/7v3syo/windows_installation_problems/ That worked for me at least. I'm not going to count it as a downside however because it is easily fixable but still should not have been an issue from the start. Other than those few gripes I have with this PC, I have had no other issues. I have noticed that it does get it a little loud at times. Maybe its because my room is very hot since I don't have air conditioning and the average temperature is about 80 degrees Fahrenheit. It tends to really start revving up when I play more heavy duty games.

I have had this system for 3 months now. I've had zero issued and have played a decent amount of hours on high quality games with the graphics all maxed out and still pulling over 100 FPS at all times. I bought this because it was on sale for $1,449.00 and I couldn't beat the price buying everything separately. I wanted a gaming PC but was worried about building my own because of my lack on knowledge. After having this PC and upgrading all of the cheaper parts to what I would have gotten had I built my own I would have spent about the same amount either way. None the less this is a great and powerful PC for starters like me. I highly suggest this computer but upgrading the fans and adding and m.2 SSD is probably a good idea for better performance.

-- I bought this computer specifically to play Doom Eternal -- my old DELL's Radeon 6700 couldn't even initiate the game. -- First of all, it was well packed with thick foam inserts and an internal shaped-foam pack ensconcing its innards--no loose parts/rattling whatsoever. -- Easy set up--basically just plug in the power cord/keyboard/mouse and screw on the 2 WiFi antennae. This GPU offers three (3) Display Ports and one (1) HDMI. -- Started up without issue--Windows booted in perhaps 20 seconds no doubt owing to the 512GB SSD. -- It's surprisingly quiet (even under load), I assume from the 4 large diameter fans and the liquid cooled CPU. --It's a quality case--heavy duty with large sturdy easily removable (thumb screw) glass panels, one on the left allowing a view of the motherboard/GPU/RAM/CPU (and its matching RGB color matched liquid cooler), as well as the color matched rear end fan-- There's also one glass pane on the front which showcases 3 large color matched fans. -- The color controller (software based--no remote) includes static/strobe/breathe/wave/cycle/random and music patterns--all with innumerable color choices and easily adjusted from the startup software. All the RGB elements display the same color (synced). -- The keyboard and mouse are also backlit with a slowly oscillating color scheme. The keyboard's kind of cheap but not too bad for a freebie--I'll invest in a programmable board in the near future. -- Most importantly, Doom Eternal runs butter smooth with all options maxed out at 2560 x 1440 resolution--graphics are fantastic! Same with Portal 2. Haven't tried any other games yet though I'm expecting similar results given its beast of an air-cooled GPU (NVIDIA RTX 2080). -- One minor niggling issue: No USB-C port--Naturally it has loads of standard USB ports, including 2 on the top front of the case as well as additional headphone and microphone jacks on top. -- Overall, an excellent buy, particularly at the currently $150 discounted price of $1599. Highly recommended.

I've had other computers (both Windows based PC's and Macs) but nothing I've ever used compares to the speed of this machine. I needed something more than a standard desktop to handle the graphic needs of X-Plane 11 and this system does it with ease. I thought when I ordered it that I would add RAM to it once I got it but it doesn't appear to be necessary. This system is consistently giving me 50-60fps in X-Plane with max settings and that is impressive. X-Plane is much more graphics intensive than most video games. I was afraid it would be loud with 4 cooling fans but you can hardly hear it at all. Did I mention that it's fast? It boots up cold in about 22 seconds and restarts in around 30.

If you're new to gaming or a veteran looking to upgrade from a cheaper PC into a newer one, this is one I am amazed at. The games run pretty smoothly at the highest quality settings such as Fortnight, Minecraft, League of Legends, Among Us and Rocket League. The fans are pretty quiet and it runs pretty smoothly. When watching videos, it's frame by frame and the sound is pretty clear, so there is no lag issues and the latency is pretty vivid, so the built in wireless Wi-Fi is amazing, even when streaming. You can easily have 2 monitors at the same time as well. Overall, I think it's a solid buy, you can upgrade it in the future if you'd like to! It's pretty nice to start off with, no complaints so far, I think it's a good PC to start off with and it's worth every penny.
