Runs very smoothly. I am a beginner and this is perfect! I also believe it would be perfect for those who aren’t beginners. It runs great and is very fast. You can also build off of it, making the potential for this pc unstoppable. Absolutely love it, and for the price you really won’t find better.

I got this computer for my birthday and so far, it's been really easy to navigate and has Wonderful response times and frame rates for me to easily play games. Models and characters i've created in Cinema4d are very easy to render in Real-time. I have a passion for animation and creating movies so this really makes it easier to take my passion to the next level in a more Cinematic and fast way! i honestly recommend this PC to people having troubles with being able to multi-task or want to start creating projects.

Cable management was top notch. Side full glass display is super cool. Loading & running windows smoothly no issue @ all just plug & play. With Windows loaded into SSD drive everything runs super fast. Only downside is RAM size which can be upgraded later has 4 RAM slots running dual channel configuration. With i5-9400F & GTX1660 we are getting up to date CPU/GPU Period. Best Bang for buck considering its selling now for $699. Very much satisfied.

This pc is overall a great pc, in terms of gaming it runs Fortnite at about 150-200 fps on medium quality with shadows off which is good for the price in my opinion. For schoolwork it has everything to offer for it including windows 10 so you wont have to worry about that. One downside to the pc is that it comes with only comes with one 8 gb ram stick, but you can upgrade to 16 gigs of ram for 30-60 dollars so its no big deal. One final downside was that unfortunately mine didn't come with the rgb lighting controller which was disappointing. Luckily I was able to install a software from the ibuypower website that allowed me to change those rgb lightnings and use all the nice features. If you need a pc thats great for gaming and school work, and dont want to spend over a thousand dollars this is the pc for you.

Great Starter Computer

I probably spent months trying to figure out if I was going to build or buy a prebuilt. I am happy I made this choice. These are not the flashiest parts or the highest end, but for an entry level gamer on a budget, this was a fantastic deal. The price was between the lower computers that will not play any of the higher end games and the mid tier with great performance ratings.
To build this computer, you would be out of pocket about $700 on parts alone, not including windows, the case, and power supply. So you're paying the smallest of premium to have someone else do the work for you. The reddit trolls told me I had to build one, blah blah blah. This was the best bang for the buck and I had a $1,000 limit to spend. I got this on sale and happy I did. Made the deal even sweeter. I was prepared to buy at retail, then they had a Intel sale.
I did make some slight upgrades despite it running fine out of the box and bought a nicer keyboard and mouse. There was nothing wrong with what ibuypower gives you, but with the new CoD coming out, I wanted to boost it up (plus I am bored and like to tinker). This is my first time really messing with PCs.
I spend $57 to boost the RAM to 16 GB with the Corsair 16GB Vengence LPX (best buy sale) and added a 500GB WD Blue SSD ($80 with the mounting kit) in addition to the other two drives. In addition I did not like the keyboard (it's not bad, just wasn't for me) with a Corsair K68 and have a Model O mouse on the way. Budget all the way.
I figure I will get 12 months or more running AAA games, then I'll WANT to build a new PC, not have to.
For an entry level gamer this is a fantastic option. I spent months researching, so trust me when I say, this is the option you want to take. It's not going to be the i9-9900k with the 2080 RTX super, but for a casual gamer, its great.

i have had this for a little while now and it runs great, it plays most games i have tried at 60 fps or better and it runs super smooth for everything i have thrown at it so far. The built in wireless is great and works really well just make sure you upgrade the driver to your wireless card in the device manager program, i don't think i have had any issues with it at all so far except the wireless car which was fixed by upgrading the driver. so far its a very nice PC,
my Asus gaming laptop died after 8 years and i was short on cash so i got this budget gaming PC, it was the cheapest PC i could find that would meet most of my needs. the box said it came with a restore disk or what ever you call it but it did not, the lights in the case look nice and it seems to have good cooling, its got a nice processor and a nice graphics card, the asrock motherboard seems good too, It only has one stick of ram, i think they should have added two sticks so you could run the ram in dual channel mode but i guess you can pick up another 8 gig stick of the ADATA ad4u266638g19 DDR4 2666MHz ram for about 40 bucks (that is the stick that came in mine not sure if they all have that ). i don't really feel you need to upgrade to another stick unless your hardcore gaming or doing lots of demanding multitasking or something like that.
the only thing i don't get is why they use actual glass for the case window instead of plexiglass or something that will not break, if your unlucky enough to break the glass that wold be a big issue but its a great pc for the money.. im quite happy with it so far.

Great Budget Gaming PC

I was searching for a PC that was capable of running all current games at reasonable settings without stuttering. My budget was in the 700-900 range, and when I found this PC it was on sale $100 off. Because of this and its specs, I decided that it was the most valid option.
This is by no means the nicest PC money can buy. However, for the price, it is one of the best deals I have seen. It is a perfect meeting in the middle of price and performance. It is capable of outperforming current-gen consoles slightly with its graphics and framerate.
Appearance-wise, it is an attractive PC. LED strips are located on the front as well as one in the back on the fan. This is enough to give the PC a "gamey" appearance. The materials are all fairly sturdy and good quality, and it was packaged very well.
The keyboard and mouse that come with this PC are mid-grade. I would not have bought them as standalone products, but they are comfortable and decent.
Overall, I feel that I made the right decision in buying this PC, and I would recommend it to someone that wants to game without completely breaking the bank.

I bought this as my first gaming PC and I absolutely love it. I've had it for almost 2 months and haven't had any problems. Even setting it up was easy for someone that isn't very tech-savvy. The graphics and overall performance meets my expectations and I love it so much! I can't say much regarding the keyboard and mouse because I already had a mouse and bought a keyboard to match it. The ones included are basically back-up; however, the quality seems good!

When this was bought, i was a little skeptical about it because this company had some controversy. Surprisingly when the PC came, everything was plugged in, tight, and secure. The cable management was beyond better than expected. It seemed to be that this was built with actual care. The case might not be appealing to many, but once you get it, its pretty dope looking, and very quality when it comes to the materials and airflow throughout the pc. It has been about a week, with little to no trouble. It is also very quiet, and i never hear it. Also the mouse and keyboard included is very high quality compared to other brands!

Honestly, when I first bought this PC I wasn't expecting much. I'd expect to run my games at 60 fps with medium setting or lower. It was to my surprise that I can run all of my games at high or ultra at 55-60 fps. It blew my mind and honestly knocked my Xbox to the curb. If you're switching to PC or are just joining in the the gaming world and are on a tighter budget, then this PC is a great start as of Dec 2019.

Bought this as a present for my daughter. The graphics are clean, the system runs well, and there isn't any lag in play. Probably wouldn't support lots of high hard drive requirement games at once but for 2-3 it is a solid buy.

This is a great gaming PC. I was a little hesitant when I didn't recognize the brand, but that could just be my own ignorance. I read the reviews, but was still a little skeptical. So far, this has been great purchase! I bought it primarily to be my work computer, but seeing as how I have a 4k monitor at work, I needed something beefy enough to run that. I also didn't have the time to build a computer like I usually do. I have also been gaming on it during breaks the games look amazing! So far, I have played Frostpunk, Gears 5, and Forza Horizon 4 all at max settings and 60 fps on a 4k monitor and there hasn't been any glitching, noticeable dropped frames, tearing, or other issues (except due to lag from the internet).

I wanted to get something that my son and I could start our computer gaming experience on. I wanted something that was above the beginners level but nothing too outrageous and this worked perfect! Plugged it in, booted it up, went through the windows set up and was ready to go! NO issues! It has ran every game and every recording program my son and I have needed plus a few of my other budgeting tools! Its fantastic!
The only bad thing I have found out is that my son uninstalled the LED control program and I for the life of me cannot figure out how to get it back. (could just be because I am not familiar with computers yet)!
I would definitely recommend this computer to someone in my same situation.

I picked this up for my girlfriend on a good sale. I think final price was $750. This is a great, middle of the road, starter PC for someone new getting into pc gaming. has enough punch to run most games at 1080p on medium to high, at a great price. everything was packaged great. only gripe i have is that the manufacturer put a triangular warning sticker on the glass that is not coming off cleanly. it's leaving behind that annoying residue and paper so we'll have to buy goo-gone or something to get that tempered glass looking nice. other than that, great product and great experience

I ended up with this one after returning the previous model (BB951) due to hardware failure (thank goodness I'm an Elite member since it died on day 16). I wasn't happy that this one only had 8GB RAM instead of the 16 in the previous model, but I haven't had any issues yet. I'm not someone that runs lots of things at once, but even if I need to upgrade the RAM, it's cheap and easy as of this review. The keyboard included is atrocious, even worse than the one in the 951 box. Other than that, performance is great, and I'm running my games at slightly better levels than the 951.
