I recently purchased the iBUYPOWER - Y40 314i Gaming Desktop, and I have to say that it's an overall pretty good machine. The Intel Core i9 13900KF processor and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti 12GB graphics card are both top-notch components that deliver fantastic performance in gaming and other demanding applications. However, it's worth noting that, in most situations, the i9 13900KF may not be able to reach its full potential due to thermal throttling. This won't be a problem for casual users, but enthusiasts might want to keep this in mind. One of the key advantages of this prebuilt system is its convenience for those who don't want to buy separate PC components and assemble them themselves. This takes away that hassle, offering an easy solution for gamers looking to dive right into their favorite titles. That being said, I did encounter a minor issue when I first unboxed the system: the backplate for the IOs was slightly bent. This was easy to fix (Taking the one included off and replacing it with my own), but it's something to look out for when you receive the machine. I can only assume this is due to shipping; and so your milage may vary. You may encounter worse issues, or none at all. I can't really blame iBUYPOWER here. (probably.) One critique I have is that the front IO is located at the BOTTOM of the case. This can be quite inconvenient, especially if you use wired audio devices, as it makes a port extender pretty much a necessity. On a positive note, the 32GB of memory runs at a good speed, and the 1TB NVMe SSD + 1TB HDD storage combo is a great solution for both fast performance and ample storage space. A standout feature of this desktop is the fantastic RGB lighting. The colors of the RAM and fans make it incredibly pleasing to look at; and combining this with the ability to create rules and profiles in the MSI center; a lot of customizability is allowed here. In summary, the iBUYPOWER - Y40 314i Gaming Desktop is a solid option for gamers who want a hassle-free, high-performance PC. However, most casual users may not fully utilize the system's capabilities, and there are a few minor quirks to be aware of. Despite these issues, the overall package remains a strong contender in the prebuilt gaming PC market.

It ran beautifully untill it didn't. I went from some old hardware. I liked the sexy design and the noticeably faster pace. Unfortunately it kept freezing up on me and instead of ordering a new i traded for an Alienware a r16
