Great performance for the money

I’ve been looking into getting a PC for a while now. I recently bit the bullet and bought this iBUYPOWER model, and it has been phenomenal. It’s a VR ready PC that will easily do 1080p 60fps for 800 dollars. It’s a good value. Only issue I had was that the copy of Windows originally on it did not work, so I had to reinstall it. Other than that it’s been easy to get up and running.

I purchased this PC when it was on sale for $700.
After almost 2 months, I have had almost no issues with it.
It can run most PS4/XBOne era games in 1080P on high settings in at least 60FPS which is really all I could ask for. I don't play a lot of big AAA games but games like A Hat in Time, Spyro Reignited, and Ori and The Will of the Wisps run pretty much perfectly. I've also been playing through Final Fantasy XV and, aside from the ocasional stutter in the open world, it runs great and loads lightning fast on the SSD.
I've had a couple of days where games running off of the SSD would have really long startup times for seemingly no reason, but that's the only issue I've ran into so far.
Also the included AC power cable is way too small. With my setup, I have to stretch it to its limit to reach the PC.
Keep in mind that aside from the CPU and GPU, the brands of other components could be literally anything so long as it meets specifications, so your experience may vary.
I'd recommend adding more RAM and a second SSD or HDD as soon as you can, especially if you plan on streaming (just make sure the RAM is 2666 mhz).
You may also need to upgrade your power supply if you plan on replacing the CPU or GPU down the line.
Anyway, that's it. Hope this review was helpful!

I took it out of the box, followed the instructions, plugged it in, and it was all ready for use. So far it’s running everything very fast and I’ve experienced no lag.

TL;DR: Awesome PC, some issues with initial set-up / Windows installation.
This PC from iBUYPOWER is truly a beast! It is packed with top of the line hardware which provides plenty of power to run any game at very high settings. The reason I'm giving this review 4 stars is because out of the box the HDD was not fastened to the chassis where it is held which caused it to be moving around a bit, luckily the package came with extra screws so I could do so myself. Also, upon setting it up, I had gone through the installation process for Windows and was set up the first day. After turning it back on it did not turn my monitors on and then it suddenly shut off. I had to reinstall Windows again after already having set it up as the installation of Windows "had been corrupted". After following the Reset instructions enclosed in the package, I was able to get Windows back up and running. Now everything seems to be running smoothly. Would buy again!

This computer is easy to install and at this price, it’s fast and the graphics card is good. Has the new port in it to add the new stuff like the VR Rift S.

I purchased this PC to replace one 6 years old. The first thing I noticed was how professional IBUYPOWER appeared. Everything was in order and worked perfectly right out of the box.
The PC is super quiet - some times I barely notice it.

I found myself constantly wanting better parts to upgrade to but could not find any specs online about the motherboard (such as how much RAM it can take and what speeds are supported. I ended up building my own system from scratch anyway and will gift this to my father.

This is a really nice computer for my son and his gaming needs. We ordered before the end of the year and took a long time to receive. We even got a notice that the order would be cancelled if it couldn't be delivered by a certain date. But it came and my son is pleased.

Pure Awesomeness! Only downside (which was my fault) was that it didn't come with a cord I needed because my monitor didn't have a HDMI port. After getting the cord, it runs perfectly!!! I can play The Division on Ultra-High settings, amongst other modern games. Highly Recommend!

Bought this while it was on sale. Great computer. Unboxing and setup was easy. Did take a long time to get once ordered but well worth the wait. Eventually I’ll upgrade RAM but what it comes with gets the job done.

i have had this computer in my home for less than 24 hours and at the time of writing this it is back in the box and being taken to best buy for a refund. it worked fine for about 30 minutes then started locking up every time i clicked anything. so i checked task management to find that the ssd was running at a constant 100% despite running nothing at all. then the windows updates started and couldnt be installed because of the ssd being so maxed out. finally once all the updates are done it showed a black screen saying that it couldn’t find a boot device. so i restarted it and it said “undoing changes to your computer” then once that finished it said it couldnt find the boot device again. i checked all cables and everything is attatched. no excuse for this. will be avoiding ibuypower in the future.
