    Great gaming pc I can do everything a streamer can do it has perfect graphics for gaming use. The processor is great the cpu and you together make the computer run smoothly together. I like the ram usage as well so I can stream live with no lags while playing a game love. The keyboard and mouse with LED was my favorite as it gives options for you to change the lighting patterns! I think this is a great choice for anybody who loves the gaming industry.

    I must say Best Buy was great to work with as the first IBUYPOWER PC I bought had an obvious defect with how the graphics unit was installed which would not allow me to plug in the HDMI for the monitor. Returned it to the store and they replaced it immediately also letting me open the replacement PC to make sure it was okay before I left the store. I really like this new IBUYPOWER PC. Does everything I need, plays all my games without coming close to maxing out the system and now able to play newer games which require more FPS and memory speed. I'm running the new PC out of the box with no changes and the fans are quite and RGB lighting is very nice. Setup took less that 45min. I believe this PC is great for casual gamer and will do anything else you need. Despite the problems with the first PC I still highly recommend both Best Buy and IBUYPOWER.

    Perfect for my Gaming Needs

    Just got this gaming pc the other day, so of course it works well. What I will say is that it is stupid fast and takes all the graphics load I can throw at it. To start with, the case is gorgeous. I am partial to black and LOVE the color change ability on all the lighted parts. Found the power button to be a nice touch. I am still using my old mouse and keyboard and saving the new ones it came with for later, so I can't really say much about them, other than I think it's cool that the whole mouse lights up. If I hadn't just bought a new mouse not just a few months ago, I would be using it now. As far as software, I specifically looked for something in the NVIDIA 5000 series and wanted nothing less than Intel i7. So far, I love the Ultra 7 this thing has. My games run smooth, there's no screen tearing (also aided by my VSync monitor, so that's nice), and I love the 2TB SSD. Basically this PC is a beast and I love it. I wanted something that had some slight longevity because if you're going to get a new computer, might as well go big or don't bother. Especially if you're into gaming regularly. That said, I'm sure people will have their opinions on what they would rather have, but for someone like me, this PC is almost perfect (if I could have afforded perfect, I would have gotten it). It fulfills my gaming needs and it has Windows 11 (my previous had 10 and support for that is ending in October, hence the need to just get a new computer), so I am all set for awhile. Anyway, hope this helps. I'll be enjoying my brand new gaming pc!

    I am very pleased with my new PC. It easily handles all my games on ultra settings with high FPS. Even under heavy load, the system remains quiet and maintains great temperatures. The build quality is top-notch.

    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.

    Beast of a Machine – iBUYPOWER Nailed It

    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.

    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.

    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.
