Modern Upgrade

I recently bought this to replace my old Alienware R6. AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D and a RTX 5070Ti is great. It'll run very nicely for your gaming needs. Not sure what the power supply is yet since I didn't want to get in there too much. I looked at the other pictures and it looks like mine came with an additional 3 fans at the bottom above the power supply. It's a bit noisy, but there's an option for performance or quiet mode. I'll also add in that my GPU is black rather than white to match the aesthetic, but it's not a deal breaker. One big thing that was very annoying is the slots that the display ports go into are very close to the case and if you have chunky DP cables then you'll have an issue with getting it plugged in. I had to buy some slim cables that eventually fit.

It's my second setup from ibuypower, with a much needed update from the trace940, and it's been performing wonderfully. Definitely suits all of my gaming needs.
Only thing that it needs to make it near perfect is for better cable management. I will be purchasing some sleeves to replace them soon, and perhaps higher capacity ram. Other than that, kudos.

This is my first PC, and I’ve had it for about two weeks now, and I’m absolutely in love with it. I’ve been a console gamer my entire life, and I can confidently say that this PC is a significant upgrade and a totally worth it. The only downside I’ve encountered is the tight ports. The display ports are quite narrow, so if you have a thick display cable, which most of them are, you’ll have a tough time inserting it. I highly recommend purchasing a slim display cable to avoid any hassle. The only way I managed to get my display cable in was by doing some DIY work. I had to cut the black boxes around it, but if you have a similar setup, that’s my solution. However, the better option is to buy a slim display cable. Everything else about the PC is perfect. I paired this PC with a KTC monitor, and it’s been fantastic. I get 300FPS on 1440p and everything runs smoothly. I haven’t experienced any overheating or any other issues. I primarily play competitive esports games like Apex Legends, Fortnite, and Overwatch 2, and they all work exceptionally well with this PC. In my opinion, this is one of the best purchases I’ve ever made, and I highly recommend it. Just be sure to buy it while it’s still in stock, as it keeps going in and out of stock. One of the picture shows my DIY fix for the thick display cable and the DP ports. (A girl had to do what a girl had to do to play LOL.)

First iBuyPower PC

Build quality seems good. This is my first Ibuypower PC and I would say overall its decent. I do however have two complains. The included AIO sounds like it has a lot of air in it. On system start it is noisy until all the air makes its way to the top of the radiator. All AIOs make a little noise on startup but I feel this could be better. Either way running Borderlands 4 and Helldivers 2 at 1440P max settings the CPU rarely gets over 70C so the issue cant be that bad.
The other issue is the ASUS B650E motherboard has six total fan headers. The computer came with ten fans. From the factory iBuyPower chose to daisy chain six fans together and plug them into a single fan header. They then daisy chained another set of three together into another header, and plugged one fan into its own header by itself. Which doesn't make much sense. What is even worse is the fans for the radiator which should be tied to the CPU temp. Were not plugged into the CPU fan headers. The intake fans located at the bottom of the case and the intake fans at the the back of the case were plugged into the CPU fan header, the AIO fans were plugged into the chassis header. Neither of these choices make sense, and again. The six intake fans were daisy chained into ONE fan header. To resolve this issue I had to pull the GPU and PSU out of the case in order to re-run all the fan power sources. Now there is not more than two fans per fan header, and I have more control over fan speed curves. The intake fans on the bottom which feed the GPU fresh air are now tied to GPU temp instead of being plugged into the CPU header and doing nothing to control CPU temp. And the AIO radiator fans are tied to CPU temp and plugged into CPU fan headers like they should have been from the factory.
I have built computers in the past, I was just being lazy when purchasing this Pre-Built. I didnt feel like sourcing all the componets, verifying compatability, putting it all together and making it presentable with cable management. But I think despite all this, next time I need a computer I'll just bite the bullet and continue to build them myself. Because I basically had to do that with this one by tearing it half apart and putting everything back where it should've been in the first place.
Following all this, the computer does perform well. Overall I'm happy with it. Just wish I didnt have to resolve the fan debacle. Besides that, the keyboard is suprisingly nice despite it being something they just throw in. The brown switches in it are very satisfying, and the RGB is very bright and vibrant. The keycaps are a little thin so there is some light bleed through the key cap where the plastic is thinner but it doesnt bother me. But may bother some.
The included mouse I could do without though. It feels very cheap. They shouldnt even bother with it. Drop the price for the bundle 20 bucks and just dont include it. Nobody will miss it.
Most the other reviews seem to have zero issue with this build. So either their fans were setup correctly or they lack the knowledge to determine if they weren't. If you buy this just play it safe and have someone knowledgeable verify everything is plugged into where it should be. I didnt really have too big of an issue with anything else but the AIO. But if your temps are good I would leave it alone. If your temps become worse over time or the pump gets noisier that is what the warranty is for. Which is something I wanted, and something you dont get if you build your own computer. Which was another reason I went this route besides being lazy. If you google iBuypower AIOs they have had a poor history for reliability. But they state the manufacturing defect has been rectfied and their customer service does seem to be good from what I've gathered.

Way better than my iBUYPOWER - Y40 Gaming Desktop - Intel Core i7-13700F - 32GB DDR5 RAM - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060Ti 16GB - 2TB NVMe SSD - Black that i purchased 2yrs ago. I use this one to stream and the Element pro to game. It's perfect on LG - UltraGear 27" OLED QHD 240Hz 0.03ms FreeSync and NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible Gaming Monitor with HDR400 - Black. So far no lag or crashes besides cod. Holds up well with multiple windows open while streming movies or watching twitch, kick etc... Battelfield 6 was amazing on the eElement pro. No complaints at all... I also took it to geek squad to overclock it for performance... oh one thing, for bluetooth you must have the wifi antenas on for best results...

Overall, loving this desktop computer!
We’ve had this for about 2-weeks and it is already infinitely faster than my old computer, which was built pre-2020. The graphics are perfect for the level of gaming that I engage in (ie. MOBAs, MMORPGs).
The lighting in the tower is customizable and looks fantastic, it’s almost as if it helps me be a better gamer (likely a placebo effect). Unfortunately, I couldn’t capture a great photo at night due to my camera, but it’s an especially nice touch in the evenings.
Definitely would recommend this purchase!

This pc looks great and plays even greater! I was supoose to get white wires connecting to the GPU and CPU. I ended up getting black wires but it’s not a big deal! Love the RGB set up! I had to plug in the top RGB and fan connectors myself. Maybe they unplugged during the shipment but this PC is worth every penny!

Thing is a beast. Motherboard could be better (ASRock B650M-C) but it’s a pre-built so I’m not complaining too much. All-in-all, an incredible rig

This thing is seriously a beast. Also has some pretty amazing RGB, mine came with mostly black parts. But that's the name of the game. Be patient. I got this for $1889.

I chose to buy this after hearing tarrifs may rise the price of components next year.
Pro:
Better price than building (market prices are crazy)
Looks good, works flawlessly at 1440p.
Cyberpunk is smooth fully maxed out.
Cons:
The model I recieved came with black cabling (small thing, but the white esthetic was appealing)
2x 16gb sticks of RAM, would have preferred 1x 32gb for easier upgrading.

I received the product in good condition. I have no general problems with the product. Everything is fine. However, most users in the comments were sent an MSI graphics card. I received a PNY graphics card. This was a bit of a letdown.

The PC build with Cheap B650 Mother board, but they did not put orginal heat sink into the pc, and the Fans cable will make noise with the AIO Fans, they put the cable wrong way. Also including SSD heat sink, they just didn’t put it back on. The graphic card is black and power cable are black, which are totaly different with the picture that are shown. I will attach the picture that after I have fixed the fan cable. Lighting effect are good, ROG graphic card stand I purchased by myself.

This pc is honestly able to handle what ever I throw at it with ease. The only reason why I didn’t give it a five star rating is because of the fact that the graphics card is black and not white but that really does not affect performance. My favorite game at the moment is rematch and I easily run about 700 fps in game with no problems whatsoever. Besides the gaming aspect of things the cpu is very powerful allowing me to do productive school/work tasks easily. The value of the pc was just average because with a lot of searching I can find a very similar pc with a 5080 gpu instead of 5070 which is better if you do not know a lot about pcs allready. It was pretty easy to set up. All I had to do was remove the side panel and remove the packaging to be able to start up the pc. Afterwards I had to create a windows account (if you allready have one you can skip this process). Then after I did this I was all set and ready to start my gaming journey. I really liked the rgb capabilities of this pc since I was able to install signal rgb and change the colors of the fans or liquid cooler.

This PC came in excellent condition, and mine also came with a GPU support stand (MSI brand). The cables were touching two of the fans, but that's a minor issue that was resolved easily. It is AMAZING power and beautiful.
Extremely quiet and there are settings to change the light colors and patterns. This is one of the best combinations of high end PC's out there (that isn't 4-5k) for the CPU/GPU and a 2tb SSD.

For the sale price of $1,899 that I paid this PC rocks. Price out all the same hardware individually and you’ll see exactly why. You’d pay the same if not more every time. To get a 5070ti and a 9800X3D even at MSRP you’re looking at ≈$1,200-$1,300 at best for those two alone (I got an ASUS Prime model 5070ti for those who care). Even as someone capable of building a PC, this was a no brainer. I’ve had it for about a week now and everything seems to be working as advertised. Just glad it got from FedEx to my door in one piece. This went unavailable the day after my purchase so hopefully others can end up getting this build for the same price.
