Solid Computer
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this to replace my aging desktop (an older Xeon based 6 core computer) Hooked up this computer and did the basic setup for startup (very simple, and taking about 10 minutes) and starting playing around with it. Installed League of Legends, running at 300fps plus, and while it isn't an extremely graphics intensive program, this smoked what I was getting on my previous computer. This computer runs smooth, and the only things I would change are to add some more memory (I added 16 gigs) and a SSD for a boot drive (added a Western Digital Blue M.2 1 TB drive and with the Acronis software from Western Digital's website the transfer was a breeze) to get 10 second boot times. Adding about $200 dollars of memory and SSD turned this capable computer into a 2 TB monster (this 6 core i5 and 1060 graphics card are very capable.) The case is nice and the internal appearance and cable management look professionally done. Tried the keyboard and mouse and found they work fine and the quality was better than I expected for bundled items, I'm running this with my Logitech G910 keyboard and G9 gaming mouse I'd previously bought on sale at Best Buy. I thought the changing colors were neat in the case, but they get distracting in a dark room so I set them on just one color.

Broken
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this Pc from Best Buy and it turned out that the graphics card was broken and the Pc would randomly restart. The customer service was terrible and I was told that I could order a new one but it would come in 3 weeks. Hopefully this time the store can surprise me with a WORKING Pc.

Best bang for the buck!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Happy with the price, and how games run on it. Bought it on sale 12/5/18 for $699.99, was planning on testing it out and returning it if I dont like it, and decided to keep it. Suggested upgrades: ssd and add more ram. I literally tried to build one and this set up cost me $800 without the tower through PC parts builder (finds cheapest online prices for parts) From what my nerd friends tell me I can easily upgrade to the i7 and 1070 or 1080 graphics card and keep my current mother board which is a plus. 5 out of 5 stars, highly recommend if you want a pre built gaming PC for under $1k!

Bought April 8, 2019 - Croaked October 24, 2019
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was the worst computer I have ever owned. No DVD player or multi-media slots. They shipped us a new part, but it is still not working. I will have to send it in to get it fixed. But since it frustrates me to no end, I have bought another computer.

Wouldn't boot up brand new
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ordered this online for someone. They tried to plug it in and it wouldn't boot up. iBuyPower tech support claims that it might be a drive or motherboard issue. Either way this is unacceptable. We will be returning it and buying something else.

Excellent Gaming Computer
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My son was wanting a gaming computer he could also complete school projects, research, print etc. I found this one at BB having never heard of iBuyPower but for the price of the computer and the BB 3 year extended warranty (extra $) it appeared too good to be true but took a chance. It came within 24 hours even tho shipping stated 3 days so my son was very excited. It was packed great very secure and professional. It took about 10 minutes to get it up and running. The only thing I had to find was an HDMI to DVI adapter as the NVIDIA 1060 only has one display port (DVI), not a deal killer but thought it would have at least 2 as my NVIDIA 1070 has 3. Anyway, once I installed the adapter which cost about $7 for two the image was crisp and sharp on the 32" ultra wide monitor. The prompts walked my son through setup and he was done and playing. The computer is extremely quiet and the RGB colors are nice. My alienware costing 1K more has nothing close to the RGB lights on this system. If your looking for a great budget system that can run popular titles like Fortnight, Battlefield etc. as well as all the Steam Games at high settings and not break the bank this one is for you. Ive only bought Alienware for the past 12 years, no complaints and they are well built machines, just expensive. However, this budget system is playing all the games my more expensive system can for much less and looks great too. Highly Recommended.

Great price and easy installation
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We bought this computer because we were told it was a great price and we are not disappointed. We have some knowledge of gaming PCs but have never owned one before. It will be great for when we want to expand the PCs capabilities as well. It was very simple and straightforward to put together and is running smoothly! We are so excited to get an adorable gaming PC that runs well!

Good for Fortnite, Great for Everything Else
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently got into PC gaming, but have always been a console gamer. I can tell you that this computer beats out the graphics on the PlayStation 4 easily (at least when comparing Fortnite) and I find that it does not heat up when play 4k videos and games. Pros: RGB light (looks pretty cool when gaming in the dark) Decent GPU (nVidia GTX 1060) GREAT CPU (8th-Gen i5 does not stutter at all) Supports 2 4k displays easily (I have 2 LG 27uk600-w and they look great with this computer) Cons: For this price point, I could have built a computer with a better GPU and CPU combination, with more RAM. I DO recommend this as a low to mid- range gaming computer for the casual gamer. If you want professional, high end processing, go for iBuyPower's more powerful version with the 1080TI GPU and the i7 CPU.

With a few adjustments, It'd be perfect!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Here is my only problems with this Cons- 1.) Not Enough Ram. Buy 2 sticks of 8GB RAM and it would be perfect. 2.)An I5 is perfect for just getting into PC gaming but Defiantly look into getting a I7 when you can. Performance changes emencly when you do. Especially when paired with 24GB of RAM. 3.)For some reason, There is no pamphlet that gives you a clear reading of EXACTLY what parts this PC has. Such as Motherboard, Power supply, Dimensions of case, Type of fans, Ect. It just has all the things people mainly look as such as the Graphics card, RAM, and if it has RGB or not. Pro's- 1.) A great PC to get started with. Simply and with only updates needing to be applied such as drivers, it's ready to go out the box! 2.)The mouse and keyboard are a great touch. Though not the best. It's simply nice to have everything you need right off the bat. 3.) The RGB and custom colors you can have them and different types of styles you want them to show such as Breathing, Wave, Strobe, Ect. is very cool. 4.)With the Price, I honestly think it could be a bit more powerful but if you catch this on sale or simply just want a PC now then I would, after careful searching of other options, defiantly get this.

Great for not so serious gamer that wants more
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I built my first 2 computers to play games. Kids, house and life took precedence and after 15 years my old ASUS parts machine finally said goodbye. not being a serious gamer anymore I couldn't justify the expense of building another high dollar system. I wanted good performance and would like it to last many years. This system fit the bill for me and looks far more exciting than a black or grey monolithic box. I was impressed with the ease of migrating into this system. Should I choose to get back into gaming then this system will give me a good starting point.

Great PC for the cost
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This system plays any modern game directly out of the box on a medium of 1080p. And that's probably the best part of a decade. Even if you built it yourself, I'm not sure you could get the components cheaper than the entire package and the cable management would suck in my case. And it can be upgraded. You can add up to 64 gigs of DDR4 ram and any GPU you want, but the 1060 is not bad. I read a couple of i5 complaints but don't believe them. This is the 8th generation i5 and doesn't even match the previous generations. The clock speed is slow, but the characteristics and threading make it extremely efficient. Check it out for proof on any reputable benchmarking site. And because games aren't CPU intensive, it will last a long, long time for you. All in all, I'm very pleased with this purchase.

Exceptional machine
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far this model has been great. Havent had it long but out of the box, everything was *almost* perfect. Had one screw rattling around inside the case. Took me a few seconds to realize it had fallen off the motherboard. Luckily I put it back before powering up the first time. This pc has a great layout for upgrading. Graphics card is great, and so far it has run World of Warcraft at max specs flawlessly. I honestly have just one complaint. The wifi kinda sucks. Maybe i dont have the antenna screwed on properly, but it was connection error after error when I first booted up. However when I popped a hardline in, its as fast as I will ever want. I was also surprised to find a very decent WIRED gaming mouse in the box. The keyboard is a bit too smashed together and clunky for me but that mouse is fantastic. Missing the remote for the LEDs... Seems to be a normal thing with this model. I just used the app on the desktop. Looks like itd be a bit more detailed than a remote would anyway.

Great upgrade for an Artist/Gamer
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great specs and 100% happy with its performance. Needed to an upgrade from my recent computer setup which was an Laptop. Its also surprisingly quiet which is a huge plus. The LED work in the computer is amazing! Also, was surprised that it came with a keyboard and gaming mouse, which both feel nice quality when used. Highly recommend to any gamer or artist who need a high performing computer for their gaming sessions and projects.

Great first gaming computer
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my first gaming pc purchase and I couldn't be happier. I used to have a gaming laptop that was way more expensive then this and already i love this one way more. I thought about building a pc but that ended up being the same price and more complicated and i'm glad I decided to buy this instead. The computer is a great looking, the red gives it a stand out look. Performance wise it runs great. Its great for vr and running any games so far has been smooth. There also isn't any unnecessary long setting up it was quite fast and simple. I am not an expert by any means but with all the research I did before buying, this is definitely a great buy for a cheap price.

Overwatch is great to run
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've owned this PC for about a month and my conclusion of it so far is that this computer is perfect for me. It can run all sorts of games with a large amount of fps. The games I normally play are MOBAS, MMORPGS, FPS, RPGS, and some simple single player games. My most demanding game might be Overwatch, and it runs really well on all the highest settings. I normally cap my fps at 60, so I won't be helpful to specifically name the amount I get, but I can safely say it's a wonderful gaming experience.
