iBUYPOWER is excellent when it comes to creating Gaming PCs at a good price. Previously owned an iBUYPOWER PC for many years that worked great, and wanted to get another one. Went to my local Best Buy and the Trace MR Gaming Desktop (BB991R) caught my eye and I had to have it. I've been enjoying it ever since. The i5-10040F processor and GTX 1650 Super card work really nice together. I really like the design of the case, with the 3 section glass on the front, and the black metal part of the case feels nice and sandblasted. RGB Fusion software allows custom RGB or HTML color codes. USB ports and headphone jack on the top at the front of the tower allow easy access for headphones or an external CD drive. Also has Bluetooth for wireless controller capability. It is capable of playing games with Playstation 4 level graphics. I tested Final Fantasy XV Benchmark and got around 66 FPS average on 1920x1080 standard settings. Have not had any technical issues or blue screens, everything seems to be in working order. I was on a budget of $800 and I felt this was a great deal for the price. I love it a lot and am glad I chose this PC, it hasn't let me down. If you're looking for a well-built, reliable gaming PC at a reasonable price, then buy you some power, iBUYPOWER.

For bang for your buck, this is a fantastic little PC, for entry level gaming as well as a base line for streaming. The 1650 Super does pack a punch and plays Esports games with pretty fantastic frames as long as settings are set correctly. Don't expect it to play triple A title games in max settings, it will play Call of Duty Warzone on low settings but maintain a solid 75FPS with a low 1% of about 69FPS. The fans are very quiet and I couldn't hear it ramp up to the 4.2GHz frequency while at a LAN party. The biggest downside is that it comes with 1 stick of RAM which should be upgraded to 2 sticks of RAM @ 3200MHz for optimal performance. If you want to do triple A title games I would sell the 1650 Super for at minimum a 1660 Super or better. That will set you back another $250 or more. But as it is, this is a FANTASTIC entry level pc and any grandma wanting their grand children to have don't have much to worry about.

Purchased this computer to replace my 10 year old Alienware Gaming Laptop. Setup was super easy, computer is fast, well built and super clean looking on my desk. It is a great addition to my work shop and for facilitating instruction to my students. There is a lot of bang for the buck. It will make a great starting point to start upgrading into a more powerful work station.
