Great for a store bought pre-packaged gaming rig

This has been a great machine. It took minimal effort to set up and begin use. First, this machine is really loaded for the cost. Second, it is a very quiet computer. Third, I didn't have to order parts and build it myself. Fourth, because it was pre-built and able to be bought through Best Buy it qualified for 12 months same as cash financing.
Overall, I have no remorse for buying this machine as it is serving my needs perfectly and will still be effective for future games that come out.

This machine looks great and for the price I'm really impressed. I haven't had a chance to thoroughly put it through it's paces but so far I'm impressed by the performance. I really spent a lot of time researching a new PC and finally jumped on this one based on the reviews.
Another thing I like is that it is very quiet. I don't even notice it running.
I do have a couple of negatives though that I thought I should mention.
1. One of the screws that hold the side panel on is missing. The PC has obviously never been out of the box so I'm sure the screw was left out during manufacturing. No big deal, the other 3 hold it just fine and there is no vibrations.
2. While the PC does have a 1TB drive installed, it was not accessible to the operating system. I had to use Windows disk management tool to allocate the drive. After that, both the SSD drive C: and 1TB drive D: are available.
Overall I'm glad I bought it. I'll update if anything changes but so far so good.

Exactly What I Would Have Built Myself!

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
When my 5-year old Lenovo decided it was time to die, I was desperate for a replacement pronto! I decided that I would no longer buy brand-name PCs because it was often difficult to replace parts or upgrade them. I wanted my next PC to have a standard enclosure I could customize to my needs. The problem was, I didn't have time to go buy all of the components and put them together myself. I was really happy to find iBUYPOWER does that for you and Best Buy had an ideal out-of-the-box configuration ready to go!
Recovering from my failed system was pretty easy as I had separated by data drives from my system drive. I put all of my existing disk drives in the case, including my SSD system drive. Since I was replacing the SSD that came with the unit with a larger one, I installed Windows from scratch by creating a bootable flash drive.
I did spend a few minutes looking for where to mount my two hard drives. Low and behold, the drive mounting trays are on the other side of the case and mounted vertically, one under the other. I had not seen a case configuration like that before. I placed the hard drives with their connectors facing each other so that I could use the power and SATA connectors that came with the power supply.
Windows installed quickly and flawlessly. I was up and running in record time. In less than half a day, I was fully recovered with a freshly installed version of Windows 10 on a brand spanking new, lightning-fast machine.
The system itself is smart looking with cool case LED lighting. The glass sides make it fun to look at while I'm working. The NVIDIA card included screams. The performance of this new i7 core is remarkable. I am totally happy with my purchase and look forward to being an iBUYPOWER customer for a long time to come.

A powerful machine

Overall, I am satisfied with this purchase. This is a powerful machine. I had to install a larger hardrive ssd to accomidate my needs, but the system works as advertised. No major complaints. One minor hassle is a lack of an internal optical drive. But I had an external that works just fine.

Great PC, good value

This system has more than enough power for what I need. I had been considering purchasing a Corsair One, or this system. Basically the argument for the One was it's smaller, is powerful, but most importantly, had a really cool heat removal system (I'm a mechanical engineer with previous HVAC experience so it was REALLY cool for me). However, this iBuyPower PC came at half the cost, and when doing the comparison of components versus the entire system, the iBuyPower was much easier to justify in terms of cost versus performance. I also do not play games that require such powerful graphics, primarily playing a few indie games on Steam and League of Legends. This PC runs these games flawlessly as I have not experienced any instances of lag or throttling on the highest settings. The desktop runs incredibly quiet even while gaming. This PC also appears to be very easy to upgrade, though I would not plan on doing so for several months. The only con I have found with this system is that the case lighting remote only works from roughly 4-6 inches away from the sensor. At first, I thought maybe the drivers were broken, so I spent a good hour trying to "fix" the problem. I could be missing something, but I did not see any documentation for using the lights with the system, which might help someone in the future. This does not make me like the system any less as I just have the lights set how I like, and I may never touch them again. I do not have any feedback on the mouse or keyboard as I plugged in my Razer peripherals as soon as I could.

Although the price hurt a bit after doing the math I don't know how these guys made any money. The processor, graphics card, and ram sticks alone were $700 before tax or shipping. After adding the motherboard fans sdd and hdd and all the other things that are in this beast i couldn't have built it myself for the same cost. And it's a bad a*s computer. Runs pubg on ultra through reshade at over 70 fps average.

This computer is fantastic. The processor and video card are exactly what I was looking for. The RGB lighting and the included mouse and keyboard are great. It's completely silent, the fan doesn't make a sound. The computer runs like a charm. Quick start up thanks to the 120GB SSD. Honestly I was looking to build my own computer but this had everything I was looking for so I took a leap of faith and it's amazing.

Exceeds expectations

Machine I bought is iBuyPower BB921 model which has very similar components to this one (i7 processor and GTX1060) and was purchased at a similar price. Easy to set up and boots up very quickly. I am not a computer expert, but performance with graphics-intensive strategy/simulation games I enjoy (e.g., Cities Skylines) exceeds my expectations. Also, very quiet. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with my purchase.

I got this computer for Overwatch and it runs the game perfectly. I get around 100 fps on epic settings and over 300 on medium and low setting. So this PC is amazing and for the price I don't think you can get much better. The only con about the computer that I've noticed is the color controller where you have to aim in at a very specific spot for it to actually work but other then that its great.

This is a great entry level gaming pc plenty of room for upgrades in the case. Comes with an amazing msi gtx 1060 3gb gpu, i'm able to run games like league of legends, overwatch, and csgo at max settings frames ranging from 144 all the way up to over 300! The lighting is nice although the remote for it doesn't always work but other than that this pc was an amazing value for it's price.

I did some online research before buying this PC. I wanted something I can use for gaming while providing me with the essentials for my video and photo editing. I purchased this PC and it surpassed my expectations. My design software runs smoothly. The graphics are incredible. It runs my steam games, WoW, plus Second Life without any issues. It was a quick and fast set up. Love it.

Bought this great computer. It’s extremely fast and the graphics are great. Only downfall the employee helping me should of informed me that it didn’t have a disc drive. He even tried to sell me rewritable discs which is funny.

Great system with small flaws
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I bought this computer online rather than in-store. Delivery was good and IBUYPOWER used good packing foam inside the case so everything was protected. Good start.
The system is very strong. It streams and plays games simultaneously like a pro. I haven't had a single problem with any games I'm playing.
There are two problems I've come across. The included RGB LED strip is decent. The IR receiver that is uses is terrible. I removed it entirely but not because of that, but because of the PSU, which leads into my next point.
This computer comes with ONE (1) case fan. That means by default, it will not by any means be getting enough cooling, especially under load. The case is huge, however, and has more than enough room for more fans. I replaced the included fan, and added five more for a total of six case fans - 1 back, 1 top, 3 front, 1 bottom, all 120mm fans. My cooling is way better now because of it. I had to remove the LED strip to make room on the power supply, which is already severely lacking connections for additional stuff.
The front panel CAN be removed, although it's a bit annoying. To safely remove it, the pins must be pinched while gently pulling. There are three of these things on both sides. It's tedious, yes, but it's worth it. The front of the case, alone, can hold three fans and that cooling is needed (although I'm sure two would be fine).
The insides are very clean and looking into it is very nice, especially if you use any kind of LED fans. The front panel's LED bar is only red and cannot be changed. It looks like it can be disconnected but I haven't bothered with doing that.
One final note - the GTX 1060 that I got in mine only has one HDMI. If you want to use multiple monitors, keep in mind your options are one HDMI and one DisplayPort.
tl;dr - ditch the RGB LED strip if the remote isn't consistent enough for you, make sure to make room in your budget for more case fans (at least three). Otherwise this system is great and I'm very happy with this computer. All that's left for me is to try and figure out how to get a new, better RGB LED strip in there.

Decent specs for the price

We needed a second computer with decent specs for playing WoW and working from home. Saw this on sale and thought we'd give it a try. For about a thousand bucks, it had the best specs I could find. The only thing we didn't notice when we bought it was that it has no optical drive. Not a big deal, but kind of funny considering they include a bunch of disks. Got it all set up and so far it runs great. Very quiet. Our daughter loves the lights although we haven't been able to get them to change color with the little remote included. Maybe that's a good thing because she'd probably spend hours clicking away and changing the colors on it. If you're looking for a capable gaming computer at a good price and don't have time to build your own, this is a great option.

Unboxed and set up seamlessly (and I'm new to PC gaming), went straight to CanYouRunIt and if I remember correctly, out of like 4.2 million computers tested on the site, only like 40,000 have better specs than this monster. Lightning fast, and runs Arma and PUBG on ultra without breaking a sweat. Can't recommend enough!
