Great Gaming PC For A Great Price

when my old gaming pc died i was looking at building a new pc myself . when i priced everything out it was close to $1500. i found this ibuypower with pretty much everything i wanted such as memory and graphics card. it even had the cool case with lights in it. i bought this and i haven't been dissapointed. it plays my games smooth and runs them with ease. i play alot of FPS and MMOs and i get a constant 60-99fps depending on the game
My ONLY complaint, is that it list that it has a HDMI port. this IS true. but this port is connected to the MOTHERBOARD and not the graphics card. meaning u cannot hook a monitor up to it. the only display port avail to use is the DVI. so i had to get a DVI to HDMI adapter to use my monitor. Just a head up on that
ENJOY!!!

I have been waiting for this moment to finally buy this great, fast, good looking PC.
The price is right especially with the Intel i7 and the 1060 Graphic Card too.
I am going to be spending a lot of late nights, playing my favorite games, overwatch and more.

Post-Storm Apartment Power Spike Killed My Pc

Excellent since 2013 when I think I bought it.
All the way to 2021 never failed me and never crashed unless I was at fault.
I lived in an apartment and there was a storm with a huge power spike which killed my pc unfortunately.
Good luck on finding myself replacement parts (motherboard, cpu, power supply, and cheaper repairing)

Great starter computer. Has plenty of power to run just about anything you want to run. The case is large and there is plenty of room for expansion. Overall great for the price. It does however come with a keyboard and mouse, the keys on the keyboard stick pretty bad and the mouse never worked. Although I was already more than set up in regards to that.

My grandma can set this PC up with its extremely clear instructions. Super easy to understand. Very attractive and keyboard/mouse are included. Worth the cost, a lifetime gaming computer. Can also be used for office and school work. I would recommend this computer to any gamer. This can replace your PlayStation 4 and XBOX and is definitely worth it.

Ultra quiet and cool looking desktop. Fast and worked great right out of the box.
The inside wifi antennae works great getting strong signal thru the case, a ceiling, a wall, and bedroom furniture to get signal from wifi router. Impressive!
A very good value for the money at Best Buy....and came with a bonus good 6 month free antivirus program.
The only reason I cannot give it 5 stars, is that it does NOT come with a cd/dvd drive, and I had to buy a separate one to plug into it...which they work just fine together.
Other than that, I am totally satisfied with my purchase....and would recommend it to anyone that wants an affordable and fast gaming computer. But, not only gaming, as I use it more for making videos.
So far, it has handled everything I've thrown at it :)
It IS the first iBuyPower pc I have bought, and I have had 36 desktop computers before this one. (yes, I am an older user!)
Good buy!

This is the best system configuration for the price. The addition of the SSD made all the difference. Windows boots up almost instantly and the graphics card can handle any task you throw at it.

Good build runs smooth and also the lighting is great. For a pre-built pc its spec handles pretty well for what its worth and its more than enough for multitasking.

Pros:
-The hardware in this product worked great out of the box, the specs on this PC suit both gaming and professional video graphics needs. The System, with Avira Anti-virus free installed boots up in 30 seconds total. (much faster than our i3 Dell laptops and our previous Phenom II PC). It runs Minecraft with no mods installed at ~4000 FPS (yes, that's 4000, not a typo). Haven't tried higher end graphics games yet. The case RGB lighting options and transparent tempered glass side are pretty cool.
- There's no garbage software installed on the computer, the system is fresh and bare bones. Takes some getting used to to install your programs on the D: 1TB drive instead of the C: solid state drive.
- The GTX 1060 3GB DDR4 graphics card is the one that Nvidia quietly put out on the market, the version in this computer is a slightly throttled down version of the original GTX 1060, but still is very comparable and still better than the competition in the same class in most scenarios.
- This machine is very quiet running
- Overall, it's a great machine that can play all high end graphics PC Games, is VR ready, and can handle high demand graphics software.
Cons:
- The documentation that comes with the unit is outdated. The "quick set-up" doc said there should be a windows 10 key sticker, there was none since this one was built in. Couldn't figure out how to get windows to activate without calling their tech support for help since there were no instructions (turns out all I had to do was initiate windows update). Also, there's no complete equipment hardware listing for all the components inside the case. For a gaming PC, gaming nerds want to know all the stuff in there for upgrade purposes (you can open and look, but just an extra step). There is no owner's manual in the packaging, they say it's all online, the documentation in the package should at least explain where to go to find it.
- Their product registration process appears to be fully manual on iBuyPower's end; we had to wait more than 24hrs for their 'confirmation email', and the website they give you to register didn't work with our Chrome browser, had to use MS Edge.
- The gaming keyboard and mouse are acceptable but there are better ones out there. Almost wish there was an option to buy the product without them for a cheaper price.
- The CPU thermal management is stock Intel heat sink and fan, it works but you may want to think about upgrading this first.
- The power supply is lower end, does the job though for the Trace930 components, may need to upgrade it if you add components.
- No DVD or Blu Ray disk drive and you can't install one with this case... you have to use a USB external disk drive. Note: I knew this when purchasing it.
- No dust covers for unused ports for the back, but they were on the in-store demo. It would have been nice if included...There were 2 covers included for the top case USB connectors though.

Great Performace Confusing Adapter
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Setting up the desktop was pretty easy and had some thoughtful protective packaging inside the case which is appreciated. One of the confusing contents of this package is that it comes with cds but it doesn't have cd drive to put them in so I guess you have to buy an external usb cd drive. After booting up computer for the first time I find out that the computer doesn't have built in wifi during setup. Spent 30mins trying to figure out why this thing doesn't have WiFi and was lucky to find a usb wireless network adapter in the box. Plugged it in and connected it to my network. 5 mins later it dropped the connection. The adapter kept repeating this every 5 mins every time I tried to reconnect and had to deal with this for 2 hrs. Finally I decided to switch to another network in my house and behold it held the connection and stopped dropping. I don't know why it was doing this and still trying to figure out why it does this. Overall Superb performance across the board. The only bad thing with this computer is the network adapter which might have compatibility issue or something else.

An Excellent Machine (which I improved on)

The base Trace930 model is an excellent computer for its price range, particularly when on sale. I made the following changes to make it even better:
* Swapped out the 1060 video card for a 1080 from a lesser computer I already owned
* Replaced the 500W power supply with a 750W (500W is the bare minimum for a 1080 video card)
* Added a 1TB SSD
* Added a H100i liquid CPU cooler
This updated system scored in the top 97th percentile on Passmark's Performance Test suite, runs quiet, and hasn't gone above a 55C CPU temp no matter what game I try. Just go easy with the LED light setup it comes with and your appreciation of the system will be complete.
If you don't have an extra 1080 card lying around - and who does - then the Trace931 would be a worthy upgrade.

Great Gaming Computer for the Price

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
This is my very first gaming computer i have bought for myself. I had no intention of buy a computer today, I was just going to go inside and look around. When i went to the computer section the first thing that caught my eye was the the Ibuypower Trace930 because of the display that had out and how sleek it looks. I looked at it for about 10 minutes up and down, looked at the specs of the all the computers that were around it and always came back to this one. So after standing there thinking if i should or should not buy it, I looked at it one final time and said lets do it and picked it up and brought it to the register. After buying brought it right back home, It was easy to set up and did not even need the directions but should have looked at them for one small info about the HDMI port. After setting everything up it runs and works great. No lag or any hiccups also the computer itself is super quiet which is a very big plus on my end. i am currently typing this review on it right now. So basically to sum this review up, i would have to say if you are in the market to buy a gaming computer i would recommend this one 100% and would recommend to anyone that would ask.

I've never been into co. pluter gaming and had been on the fence for a while now. I saw it o n sale for 999 and had to do it. So far, no complaints whatsoever. Bought it before black Friday steam sale and man.. I love computer gaming. I'm easily playing every game I've tried so far at max settings 1080p. Blows away my ps4 pro. Some games like PUBG which isn't all that taxing I do 1440p at max settings and still get over 60 frames a second. I'm not a frame rate guy. 30 is good for me. So now that I'm seeing games this beautiful at 60 frames. Some games go way higher while still at max. I dont have a monitor, but a tv. It's a 4k tv so i dont see a reason to switch anytime soon. I have been eyeing the Nvidia 1070ti though... stupid bitcoin miners driving that price insanely high though.. guess I'll wait. Rthe product is hinestly amazing for the price. I liked the lights.. but ultimately turned them off. Also they are off when the pc is off. Fans.. can't hear them at all. Seriously. If your on the fence like I was I highly recommend.
