iBUYPOWER - Slate Gaming Desktop - Intel Core i5 - 8GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti - 1TB Hard Drive - Black
- 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: HDD
- Total Storage Capacity: 1000 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.)

- Processor Model Number: i5-8400
- Storage
- Storage Type: HDD
- Total Storage Capacity: 1000 gigabytes
- Hard Drive Capacity: 1000 gigabytes (The amount of data that can be stored on the device's mechanical hard drive. Hard disk drives (HDDs) typically have larger capacities than solid state drives (SSDs) but may have slower speeds.)
- Hard Drive Interface: SATA (Connects the hard drive to the host system for transferring data between the hard disk cache and system memory. IDE and SATA interfaces are primarily used for personal computing, while larger servers and workstations typically use SAS or SCSI.)
- Hard Drive RPM: 7200 revolutions per minute (A hard drive's data is stored on disks, or platters, that spin while transferring information to the host system. The higher the RPM, the faster the hard drive's performance.)
- Hard Drive Accelerator: Intel Optane (A module integrated (or added) into a PC to improve performance speed. By acting as a high-speed cache, an accelerator speeds up access times to the hard drive, which results in faster web browsing, improved gaming experience, and overall more responsiveness.)
- Memory
- 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.)
- Type of Memory (RAM): DDR4 SDRAM (Each type of RAM delivers a different level of speed, bandwidth, energy efficiency and performance.)
- System Memory RAM Speed: 2400 megahertz (How fast the information-storing hardware operates. The faster the RAM, the faster memory can be transferred to other system components. Ultimately, faster RAM improves operational efficiency.)
- Compatibility
- Operating System: Windows 10 Home (The operating system manages all software and hardware, including files, memory and connected devices. Most importantly, it lets you interact with your device and your programs in a visual way; otherwise, you'd be typing computer code to get anything done.)
- Operating System Architecture: 64-bit (An operating system (OS) manages computer hardware, software resources, and programs in conjunction with the system's processor. 64-bit operating systems can handle more data at once than 32-bit systems, resulting in faster speeds, more effiency, and overall improved performance.)
- Connectivity
- Number of VGA Ports: 1 (VGA (Video Graphics Adapter or Video Graphics Array) is a display standard that transmits via analog signals. This type of interface is typically used to connect a computer to a display device such as a monitor, projector, or TV.)
- Number Of DVI Ports: 1
- Ethernet Card: 10/100/1000 (Also known as an Ethernet adapter, this card plugs into a computer's motherboard and enables it to access an Ethernet network. 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).)

Whats Included
- iBUYPOWER Slate 946
- Mouse, keyboard
A: Hey World, All of our systems come bundled with a mouse/keyboard combo! As well, this PC is able to handle most titles on high settings. I know that console games styles are not always the same as PC games. If you are looking to try competitive games such as CS:GO, League of Legends, HOTS, OverWatch, etc, then this system will be able to run without issues. If your goals are to play AAA titles, this system can still run then smoothly, but you will have to turn down some settings. 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 stream games smoothly using obs or any other streaming software?
A: Supposed to be getting this PC tomorrow but from my past PCs that weren't anywhere as close to as good as the graphic card, processors, etc. I'm sure it would stream and record smoothly! (Also a fellow youtube! Check me out I'm FadingV0rtex)
Q: What all in here is upgradable? Can I add more ram, change the cpu, change the gpu, add a ssd?
A: Upgrading RAM shouldn't be an issue. As for processors, that's dependent on the motherboard and this one has an Asus Prime B360M-A motherboard. This should support all 8th gen Intel processors with no issues. For GPUs, you need to consider the power consumption. This one has a 400W PSU, so for any upgrades to the GPU (GTX 1070 or higher), I'd recommend upgrading to a higher capacity PSU (600W +) to avoid throttling due to power limitations.
A: Yes it has Bluetooth I have not tested out how well this works yet but it does have this feature.
Q: Can this pc handle Fortnite on epic settings
A: Hi Nick, Yes, this PC will be able to handle Fortnite on epic settings. If you have additional questions or need further assistance, please feel to contact our support team: https://www.ibuypower.com/Support Thank you!
Q: What ports does it have? Does it have VGA or HDMI? I'd be very grateful for the answer. :)
A: Hey Alex, On the back of the computer, the graphics cards should have both of these ports. If you have additional question or need further assistance, please feel to contact our support team: https://www.ibuypower.com/Support Thank you!
Q: Are you able to use a TV as a monitor with this system, using an HDMI cable? Will it run smoothly?
A: Yes, I am using it with an LG HD LED TV at 1080p 60 Hz, no issues.
A: Unfortunately we have the same problem. Best Buy will not support the product they sold, you will need to reach out to the manufacturer to see what can be done.
