Good Computer
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This computer is good for a starter gaming pc. I purchased and did a few upgrades on the spot, including an pci-e gfx card and a larger power supply to handle the extra load of the gfx card. Next upgrades will be adding more memory and swapping the i5 to an i7.

Cant even get hooked up out of box
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So I got this for my son for xmas this year and literally right out of the box we cant hook it up. It keeps saying for us to restart there is an error in loading windows and restart. Ugh. I mean really. We took apart the casing and there is a ton of extra non attached wires which I dnt know if this is for future upgrades or if we need to connect them for this to run. We call iBuyPower and they say we need to get an external drive to download the disc that Ibuypower specifically says in other comments that newer pcs dont need the windows disc to install it's just in the whole packaging for no apparent reason. So far I'm so disappointed. I'm terrified I just spend 700 dollars for nothing which is sad cause all my son asked for was this for xmas so he didnt get anything else and now were just stuck hoping we can find someone who can help us. If anyone has any ideas I'd be open to trying I'm just wanting to get it atleast running.

Excellent Base Computer
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.While I do want to address the good I will lead with only issue that I have with product is its case size. It is super easy to work on and to upgrade due to how large it is. This also works against you though as it is really bulky and can not fit into a smaller area. A minor thing I did not like either was that it is not modern or sleek on the case design. It is just a flat white, minimal box for a case. That aside it comes with some really powerful equipment pre-installed inside and really all you need to complete the setup to turn this into a gaming machine is a video card and possibly a little more ram. I recommend a GTX 1080TI or higher.

Fast computer, distinctive look
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I moved a GeForce video card from my old PC to this one, booted it up, ran updates and installed the video card drivers. It's a good performer, overall good quality, and the appearance is quite striking when it's placed into my computer desk.

Extremely disappointed
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this for my little brother who was super excited as it's his first desktop for gaming. Brought it home to set up and initially the unit ran very slow, froze a lot, wouldn't complete updates etc. Got so frustrated I left it for the next day. Next day I cant even get the thing to turn on. The light is on inside the casing so I know it's getting power but when I push the power button it either does nothing or just a red light comes on with a click noise and never fires up. Going to have to return and possibly just get a different brand/model.

Inaccurate Specs and Dirty
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Prior to purchasing I reviewed the specs. It says it has a DisplayPort Output. However, upon receiving and attempting to hook up the computer, it does not. The computer also came in with dirty smudges all over the case. The bag holding misc pieces was open and the contents seemed to be just thrown in haphazardly. The Microsoft recovery disc was also open and unsealed. I decided to return the computer to Best Buy but wanted to discuss a few things. It was very difficult getting a live person on the phone. Once I made the final decision to return the computer, it was simple to print out the label and drop it off at UPS. FYI- the case is enormous. I figured I would just mention it.
