The iBUYPOWER Arc Gaming Desktop has worked great, for its price lower compared to other gaming desktops. Setting up the computer is easy, and opening it up for cleaning is simple. The majority of games run smoothly, and the storage amount is more than enough. I recommend this PC for games other than those with the highest quality graphics, as you will likely have to lower the graphic settings to have a smooth-running experience. Overall, a great purchase.

Worked well as an intro streaming platform for a low graphic game, but ran LoL and Destiny 2 just fine. Would recommend to beginner streamers as it is easy to swap out parts for slightly better ones. I swapped the 710 1GB for a 1030 2GB and added 16GB of RAM and it’s still going strong after over 2 years of constant gaming/streaming

Great gaming pc! We’ve had it for 3 years and it has never given us any issues. Quality is good, good storage for a teen to use for daily use. Good for the price.

I've had this rig for 2 years now. I ran basic games well. I upgraded the graphics card so Icould play at higher frame rates to fit the games that I was more comfortable playing. It doesn't have any problems as it, and it's easy to upgrade parts.

this prebuild is basic but it needs some new parts to work at its best. first, a recommend upgrading the graphics card cause the gt710 is the worst in my opinion. I would recommend getting a gtx 1050 ti. second upgrade the ram to at least 16GB. you can upgrade the power supply but it's ok. Third, I got the keyboard and mouse for me but find another type of keyboard and mouse there are ok but for me it not. also, the pic in this can throw you off. I recommend this to a friend that just got into pc parts. but always do more search for a gaming pc

I'm new to the pc gaming scene and I wanted something I could get used to and upgrade on a later date when I have the time. overall if you are new to gaming desktops and don't know where to start I would start with this one.

Bought this computer for my young gamer son (12 years old). He loves it! The LED lights make him feel like a gamer, and more importantly, there are no lags in his games!! Awesome computer!

I’ve had it for over 3 years now and works just fine. Only thing was I had to replace the power supply and processor at about the 2 year mark but it was pre-built so that was about expected.

The computer itself runs very well as well as looks great. Best Buy on the other hand not so great. I don’t know pretty much anything about computers and went in looking for a gaming PC that would play very specific games. Got hooked up with an employee that “knew all about PC gaming”.
All in all this computer will not run any games such as COD or fortnite or warzone.

I like it the only thing I can’t figure out is how to change the lights but other than that it works good I would just slowly add on new parts to it
