I don’t usually leave reviews, but this PC earned it. I picked up the iBUYPOWER Element 9 Gaming Desktop (Intel Core Ultra 7 265F, RTX 5070, 32GB DDR5 RAM, 2TB NVMe), and let me just say – this thing rips. From the moment I powered it on, everything just ran buttery smooth.
Performance: Blazing fast boot-up, zero stutters, and it crushes everything I throw at it – from high-end gaming to heavy-duty web development and graphic design. The RTX 5070 chews through modern titles at max settings with no sweat, and I haven’t even bothered tweaking anything yet.
I’ve built and used a ton of systems over the years, but this one hits the sweet spot between performance, value, and clean design. Whether you're gaming, editing, or doing serious multitasking, this machine handles it like a champ.
TL;DR: If you’re on the fence about iBUYPOWER, don’t be. This PC’s a monster and worth every penny.

My PC died and I had been looking out for a replacement and saw this machine on a special deal at BestBuy and decided to spend a little more than a more vanilla Dell machine with a 5060 card. I am just a casual gamer and more into Photography but am very happy that I got the 5070 12GB card. The case is really large and surprisingly, I really like the LED lighting and the glass case.

This PC is a beast. I’m getting amazing frame rates on any graphic game, and the RTX 5070 handles ray tracing without breaking a sweat. Microsoft Flight Simulator runs very smooth, even with high graphics settings, detailed scenery, and long sessions. The system boots almost instantly, and having 32GB of DDR5 RAM means I never worry about performance dips. The case design is clean and modern, and the RGB lighting adds a nice touch without being over the top. If you want a powerful, ready-to-go gaming rig, this is a fantastic choice.

It’s a good PC for any beginner. Worth the price. I play Fortnite and stuff on it. It runs games at high graphics well. I don’t notice any lag or anything. Runs 200fps without complications.
I had to return the first one. But the cell service guy, David, was very helpful and said it was optimal to either return the problem part, the graphics card, or the whole PC to Best Buy, which was what I did. The second one worked. And it was really easy to set up.
I got new graphics cards. Make sure that the mhz of them and the type (DDR5), are the same. It comes with 5200mhz’s, and I got 7600’s.
The only downside is that it takes some minor troubleshooting skills. But always rely on customer service and research. Be wise, since your problem is not always the problem it is. But don’t be afraid to seek it. That’s how you turn from a beginner to learned to be able to help others.
Tip: don’t let the guy sell other parts to you without knowing what it is, what it does, and if it is compatible with your specs.

Works great but I had to buy more hard drives so I could fit what games I currently was playing! Ended up buying 3 2gig hard drives (all that was available that shortly after Christmas) Not a fan of the RGB lighting and optical media drives are needed!

Purchased this while it was on sale and it runs games and streaming at the same time amazing. I was hesitant about buying a prebuilt computer but this changed my mind for the better. The RGB looks nicer than I expected and it runs pretty quietly even with a demanding workload. When it's on sale it is 100% worth picking up.

“This is the third desktop of the same brand I’ve purchased from Best Buy in just two days. The first one had a broken NVIDIA display card, but the staff handled the return and refund immediately without any hassle. The second one, from another location, had a case issue — but the team was very understanding and even allowed me to open the box to check it before purchasing. Finally, we opened a third box right in the store and found one in perfect condition. The first two had shipping issues, but I truly appreciate how helpful and accommodating the Best Buy staff were throughout the process.

Purchased for my granddaughter. She loves everything about it. She says the speed is fast, very responsive and loves the colors and ability to change them. I love watching her play games on it. Had a little trouble getting started but called Best Buy and got a quick response and help getting started.

I’m very happy with this computer. It runs smoothly, feels fast, and most importantly it’s very quiet. Even when I’m using it for longer periods, I barely hear it. So far it’s been reliable and does exactly what I need it to do. I’d definitely recommend it.

Great gaming PC for the price. Setup was quick and easy, and it runs modern games smoothly on high settings without any lag. The 32GB RAM and 2TB SSD make everything feel fast, from boot time to loading games. It stays relatively quiet and looks clean with the RGB lighting. Very happy with this purchase!

I'm pleasantly surprised it runs great, is whisper quiet and looks amazing. I have not come across a game yet that I cannot play and works well with mods also.
