Bought this as a Christmas gift for me son. It is a great starter machine however deserved some upgrades. Changed the power supply, changed the processor, changed the GPU. It is definitely a console killer now. Fast,pushes most of today's games rather well. Overall, would buy a more powerful machine to start, especially for what it cost to upgrade!

I got this as a gift for myself because I was tired of always lagging or running on low fps. I usually just use it to play WoW and run youtube music in the background and it handles it wonderfully. I can play on ultra and still get 40 fps in ashran during a 40 v 40 fight without any lags or spikes or disconnects.
My only issue is the fan. It's loud, its constant. It's kinda annoying. It's my only complaint but other than that I would def buy again from iBUYPOWER.

If you are looking for a gaming computer that is cheap and not that vary expensive. This product is good for you. Some things I enjoy are the speed the computer runs at and its really easy to set it up. It took me about 30 minutes to go through everything to get on the windows page. One thing I don't enjoy is the noisy fan that I can hear. Its not to loud but just a little bit quiet than a fan.

I am on I-Racing and had to dial back grafix with my other machine. With my new IbuyPower I have fast frame rate and high res. I recommend this machine.

This is a great gaming computer, the only bad thing I can say about it is the fan is loud, but no biggie.

Left too much set up to me. Slowed the start up process and required me to Google part of it.

The motherboard was not assembled correctly. As soon as we turned it on the first time a message said "your computer was not shut down correctly, please restart". It would NOT let us restart and had to return the product to the store.

We have two of these computers, one for each kid and they love them. They are great gaming computers and as the years go by you can upgrade them to bigger better components.

Pulled out of box, hooked up, runs fine. Windows only required a few hours to snag up the updates which was awesome. Games I had have gained new textures and depths. Overall performance has been great in the week I've had it up and running.
Only 2 minor things to note on the negative side: Power supply only has 2 SATA outs, so little hard to add my data drive. The fan is more noticeable than last computer. Not that noisy, but you know when the pc is on.

Good Computer but one problem
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
The big problem was this was not a huge one, when I first turned it on the symbol lashed then the PC rebooted a few times I fixed it by turning it out for a few hours then back on. The PC is actually really good the only problem is the GPU but I can upgrade it for a $100 dollars or so. The RAM is amazing i'm running games at 45 FPS on ultra high on the older games like Skyrim and TF2. This is a good PC and I would really encourage buying it.

I love my new computer. It was easy to set up. It runs smoothly and plays games well. If you are a looking for a beginner's computer for gaming, this is it! It had a great price for the quality of the product. I would definitely purchase an iBuypower pc again!

I was looking around for a computer to do some casual gaming and this one seemed to fit the bill. It is able to meet all the requirements of the games I wanted and more! Really easy to set up straight out the box. There was problem with the wireless connectivity however but that was quickly and easily resolved talking to a technical support which is my only complaint.

The first computer that came in did not function so I was glad I had it at Best Buy so the issue could be resolved quickly and by quickly I mean order a new one and wait a week. Best Buy did a great job of replacing it and was no hassle. The second one worked perfectly and I have had no issues.
I have heard of people having problems with IBuyPower before such as being hooked up incorrectly, seems I got unlucky this time around. This wasn't my first time buying this brand, I had no problems until recently.
