* if you buy this it will be delivered in its original box not a basic brown box so just a FYI Incase you won’t be home for delivery. Parts list Msi RTX 2080 super Gigabyte z390 UD motherboard XPG gammix 16gb(8x2) Ram ddr4 3000 Didn’t get chance to check ssd/hdd/power supply All USB ports appear to be 3.0 ports(blue) Graphics card has 3 display ports and 1 hdmi Keyboard and mouse are cheap of course but they get the job done of basic computer use. Wouldn’t try to game with them. Motherboard has empty slot for m.2 ssd. Tight spot under the cpu cooler where it’s labeled m2a and you can see the mount screw (see pics for location) I was wanting to build a PC but with lack of available parts and options I decided to buy prebuilt. If you want performance this is definitely a PC to consider. I can get 240fps out of cod warzone easily with a safe overclock (see pics for setting) and with no overclock it was around 215fps. I can’t speak on the stock ram and how it performed. Only change I made was upgrading ram to gskill trident z neo 32gb 3600 on amazon for $180 and adding 1tb Samsung m.2 ssd in the available slot. It did come with a deepcool cpu cooler. I planned on changing to a kraken or corsair cooler but this one does the job so far. I’ll update with my temps Later on after playing for a few hours overclocked to give accurate examples. The LCD screen on the case is very nice. Looks very good and with a $4 wallpaper program you can change it to whatever you like. I just chose some random wallpapers to start off. I personally chose the LCD so I can monitor my GPU/CPU temps right on the tower with a clear white screen (see pics) Not sure the exact price if you were to build this yourself (I’ve heard there’s almost no difference) but with the availability of parts and the Parts cost markup of having ibuypower building one of your choosing I decided on this prebuilt. I regret not getting it sooner. Stays cool and runs 240fps while looking really cool if you care about that. Enough said If you decide on this PC make sure to have/get a 240hz monitor. I paired mine with the BenQ Zowie xl2740 and it’s great.

Out of the box this PC works and is easy to set up, there are some cosmetic issues that are disappointing considering the computers price tag. I got the computer delivered yesterday and met the delivery guy outside of my house. The box was a little beat up and keyboard box was smashed in. Keyboard and mouse that comes with it are of basic quality, but are aesthetically pleasing just like the Snowblind itself. Biggest issue is LCD screen itself, it has many imperfections all over the screen. I wouldn't be as upset if it were one or two, but they're all over. Biggest annoyance was the glue on the I/O shield from the sticker that comes on it, I used over 10 alcohol pads on it and I am posting a picture of what it looks like AFTER I cleaned it (still looks yucky). One small paint issue on the side of the case that has the LCD screen on it, but it is tiny. I also posted a picture of the GPU's statistics while downloading Microsoft's airplane simulator while also playing music and having multiple other things running in the background. Computer itself is very quiet, only wish it was lit up better on the inside. Other than the cosmetic issues, this is a good start up PC. Would buy again but maybe not have it delivered and see if that is cause for the LCD screen imperfections.

This is the 4th Ibuypower computer I have owned. I bought most of them directly from the company, but this was even easier. The computer is amazingly fast, quiet and really looks contemporary. The side panel LED is unlike any bling I have seen on/in a computer and I have been creating my own, buying and modding them for many years. Download Wallpaper Engine from Steam ($3.99) and the choices are limitless. It works exactly as I expected. I only give this build a 5 because I can't give it a 6! Oh, I ordered it on Thursday. They told me it would be here on Sunday and arrived at my house on Saturday. Talk about quick delivery!
