I purchased this Computer just before Christmas on sale for $1349.99. The original price was $1,599.99.
The last 3 computers I built myself. This computer is replacing my 8 year old machine that I built. I couldn’t justify doing it again. This is replacing a Intel I7-2600 CPU processor.
One reason for this purchase is I was looking for a Computer that would support 3 monitors. The NVIDIA GeForce RXT 2070 graphics card does just that. My only problem here is that all of my monitors don’t have display ports. I purchased 3 Insignia display port to HDMI adapters. The other reason for buying this is because I work on my family genealogy. This would let me move from a web sight to my software program without minimizing my screens.
Another reason is that I would like to do some video editing. When I tried this on my old computer it took forever to edit a 3 minute clip. I have not tried to edit any video clips yet.
I’m not sure if I will ever get into gaming on this machine but I may in the future.
I also purchased a external DVD Writer. This computer doesn’t come with a CD/DVd drive. Most of the software I own is still on CD/DVD’s.
Another feature I like is the WIFI / Blue tooth card that came with the computer. It work excellent with moving pictures and audio files from my Smart phone to my computer with out plugging my phone into the computer.
My only con…………..
I also purchased a WD Black 1 TB hard disk drive for all of my data files. This computer doesn’t have any traditional drive bays where the drive lays flat. You need to mount it standing up on the right side of the computer. WD doesn’t recommend standing the drive on end per the installation instructions.
So I E-mailed IBUYPower support and asked them about this and never got a straight answer. They kept telling me that the only place to mount the drive is on the right side on the supplied mounting plate. See attached picture. If these tower cases are so modular why can’t they supply a traditional drive bay?
There is plenty of space on the left inside. How would they mount a CD/DVD drive if the computer came with one?
All in all I like this computer so far. I would of given it 5 stars, but the had drive issue above is my only complaint. Right from when I turned it on for the first time it was very easy to setup.

Bought this computer as a step up from my previous pc. I couldn’t be more impressed with this pc. I downloaded msi afterburner and my graphics card is staying around 65-70 C, processor around 60-70 C.
Runs anything I throw at it without a problem, Arma 3 ultra settings, I have FPS set to 60 max for cooling purposes, and it runs it flawlessly.
The only thing I would recommend would be buying an extra fan to pull air out of the case. I posted the fan I bought from Best Buy, and it works excellent. I noticed a few degrees cooler.

I bought this to upgrade from a laptop with a GTX 1060 Mobile in it. The CPU is one of the best you can get for this price range and most parts are easily upgradable. This can handle just about any game that you throw at it on Ultra settings. And you can use MSI Afterburner to automatically overclock it. If you added up all the parts for the and include the keyboard and mouse that come with it, you are getting a pretty good deal. I caught it on sale for $1299.99 on tax-free weekend.
Some examples of FPS I get on different games are:
GTA V (Ultra) 80-90fps
Fortnite (Ultra) 110-120fps
Minecraft (w/ Ray tracing shaders on ultra) 60fps
Forza Horizon 4 (Ultra) 90-100fps
Battlefield V (Ultra, V sync enabled) 144fps (limited due to monitor refresh rate)
Rainbow Siege Six (Extreme Settings) 120fps
Pros:
-According to Userbenchmark, this computer, when properly overclocked, can attain score well into the 145% range in the gaming category. This is roughly 10% higher than a GTX 1080.
-Nice big case with great cord management
-Even when overclocked, the fan rarely needs to turn on high and even when it does, it's hardly audible.
-Automatic overclocking with MSI afterburner overscanner.
-Plenty of USB 3.0 inputs on both front and back
-Easy to remove the glass panel
-The RTX series of graphics cards allow you to take advantage of games that utilize ray tracing to better similar light.
-Plenty of RAM for just about any game you want to play
-
Cons (very few and minor):
-If you reinstall windows, the factory RGB lighting controls for the case will be erased and as of yet, I have been unable to get the replacement driver to work when downloaded from the ASRock website but this is a minor detail.
-The graphics card is in the way of the M.2 SSD slot, so if you're like me and upgraded the storage, you'll have to take the graphics card out. Its very simple
-The CPU cooler is set up as such that you need to completely remove the motherboard if you choose to reapply thermal paste because the fasteners on the backside of the Mobo will fall back and not allow the screws from the CPU Cooler to catch and thread in. Still not a big deal, just make sure you know where all the wires go when you unhook them. (Just take a picture)

Great value PC for up to 4K Gaming!

Out of all the options I found online, this setup held the greatest value for me. While you could probably do fine on games in 4K with this, it's actual appeal for me is being able to ultra games at 2K/1440p on one monitor, while also powering my second monitor. Slots still remain to expand not only the memory, but add a sweet NVMe SSD into the motherboard! The package it comes in is easy to carry and can be done by even the most unathletic sort of person. All I had to do to initially set it up was take it out of the box, unscrew the corners of the glass panel by hand, remove the protective foam package inside, lightly push the connections (making sure everything is secured), rescrew the glass panel, plug everything into the computer, and turn it on. Well, maybe that might sound like a bit to do... anyways, great experience so far!

I can only recommend this pc on sale, otherwise you're better off using those extra funds to include more/ better storage/ cooling.
I don't personally care for rgb, but since it's included I still wanted to play with it. But, my package didn't include the advertised remote. Luckily, there is pre-installed software that allows you to customize the lighting to your liking.
The keyboard is obnoxiously unwieldy on most surfaces, but the mouse seems just fine.
The fans are nice and quiet, but simple and bare bones.
1 terabyte of SSD is plenty, but it's SATA and would be a no-brainer if it was NVME.
The motherboard and ram are standard, but get the job done, and the cpu and gpu are lovely for the price-tag.
If you're on a budget and don't want to deal with self-assembly, this build is mighty fine.

Very nice computer. I had just bought an iBUYPOWER box for my wife for her birthday and it got me hooked. I was VERY skeptical about these machines because although I have a couple of decades of working on computers I got out before these gaming boxes got so popular. I am not a gamer but I sure appreciate the quality components and the absolutely clean build of these gaming machines. What a great idea to use bulk buying power to do what techies have been doing for a long time and save them time and trouble and deliver all of it for a very decent price. My wife could care less about RGB, but having an X chromosome I can't help but admire the coolness of the lighting. Still, what gets me is the speed of the processer and the memory and the awesomeness of the 2070 video card. My wife's machine has the same i7-8700 and the 16gb of DDR4, but lacks the GPU and it DOES make a difference. Everything works great on the machine, and the only less than great part is the keyboard. The mouse seems okay. The 1TB SSD (WD green in my case) makes shutting down and restarting a snap. I am thrilled so far. Caught it on sale on the 4th and that was really a plus. Best Buy also had given me a two year financing coupon to make paying it off easy if I need it.

Bottom line, if you want to get into PC gaming, this is a machine well worth the money. I'd say this maching is intermediate rather than entry level as you get higher performing components than the entry level ones. Which if you are going to want to play Fortnite or Call of Duty at Ultra or higher performing levels, this will do just fine. LOVE the RGB in the case. I am going to upgrade to RGB memory and fans to really set it off.
If you are going to be doing CPU tasking items like Video Editing or streaming, this is a great entry level machine to handle those CPU intensive tasks.
The aesthetics and upgradability are top notch. I have already added additional storage and it was a snap.
My only complaint is that mine did not come with antennas for the PCI wifi card. I happen to have extras so wasn't a big deal.
I highly recommend this PC if you are wanting to get into PC gaming as it handles the latest titles very well.

Wanted to get back into PC gaming and haven't bought a new computer in years. Thought about building another one but decided to just go with a prebuilt. Went in shopping around at my local BB store to see what they had and found this up on the shelf. Got onto the website with the employee and looked the specs this unit had and discovered it was better than the display of a different model he had just showed me for only a little bit more. The free game codes it came with on the receipt were a BONUS!! No one said a word about getting those. Once I got this thing home I felt like a kid again. It has handled all games on ultra with no issues. Decided to test out the wifi and streaming from my Xbox last night with zero issues/interference between floors. It could use at least another fan out of the box but overall I am beyond pleased with this purchase

What a PC! Super fast, added some additional ram to make it faster, add drive is fantastic, and the installation of new drives is simple and clean. Only draw back which isn’t really a draw back is no dvd/cd drive, lights are beautiful and customizable! It doesn’t overheat either. I recommend this to anyone.

Once unboxing it’s basically plug at play. Definitely a great experience all around. Ideal for gamers but would also be a great investment for streamers of any kind. Even for someone like me, who has been out of touch with the PC world for years, it was a breeze to get into. Highly recommended for quality and years of relevance.

I needed something with MEAT and TATERS....and....I received everything I asked for and THEN SOME. I recently became physically disabled, confined to a wheelchair, and needed something to help me occupy my time. I am an avid Graphic Artist, working with VERY HIGH RESOLUTION projects that are also of considerable SIZE and QUALITY. I am also an old DJ and AUDIOPHILE, who has always played with MIXING, RE-MIXING, and LOFTY DREAMS of producing. So, I wanted something that I would NEVER get ANOTHER BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH due to low system resources....PROBLEM SOLVED....My sales associate was beyond knowledgeable about the few HIGH END gaming computers offered in store. EVERY SINGLE QUESTION was handled wonderfully. He listened intently to my explanations of the type of work that I do and although he was more knowledgeable in the gaming side of things he never waivered by meeting me head on and together, with my savings from disability checks helped me to purchase the BEST POSSIBLE MACHINE for my money. I had rolled in, in my wheelchair, at just the right time as there was my

I haven't had a new PC in thirteen years so this is like starting over again and the IBuypower PC made it easy to get the PC up and running. The PC is well put together, the tower had some foam packing inside the case which need to be removed and was easy to do. The PC is a simple plug and play for getting up and going. The new Windows 10 was simple and walked me through the initial setup. I like the speed of start up and restarts, plus, the clear case side is cool and fun to see the inner workings of the PC. I would highly recommend this computer to beginners like myself.

I really enjoy this gaming pc.
It has more than what I needed for gaming on a 36ms response time 720p tv. Definitely going to go to 1440p 1ms response time here soon to double my visual and gaming experience and also I’ll make sure the monitor I get is G-sync compatible for the Nvidia GEFORCE RTX 2070 VENTUS 8GB
Would recommend to anyone who is budget buying
Definitely a great buy for the price

I bought this a couple days ago and have not regretted it one bit. Averaging, on highest setting possible, 130 FPS on Overwatch, 100 on WoW, 135 on FF14. Make sure to buy a 144hz Monitor or you’ll be bottlenecking games to 60fps and this thing can do much better. I bought a mouse so I can’t comment on the mouse included but I did forgo buying a new keyboard hoping I could get away with using the included one, NOPE. It’s straight trash, the space bar get stuck down so often I can’t even type. Overall tho a great deal here.

Never owned a PC before and was interested in buying a gaming desktop. I was planning on buying the HP Omen with a 1060 GPU but I saw for just 250 more I could get this desktop that had the 2070 RTX and a 1TB SSD. None of the games I'm playing are really gonna take advantage of it but man is that thing a beast! It can play pretty much anything at max settings with a really high framerate. Setup was simple and it's been a blast to use so far! Now all I have to do is get a better spot for it lol

Best Gaming PC for the Price, fantastic graphics, fast powerup, with the ASUS Tweak program you can adjust to your liking, overclocking, turn up the fan, etc. Remote for the Case Lighting lets you change the colors, or change to random, or turn off. Can play any mmo and not have any issues. Have had for a year now and no issues.

So far is a great PC. It is very quiet, the RGB light are very bright and vivid and the PC has good cable management. Took my like 10 minutes to set everything up. The motherboard is a little smaller, has only two PCIE slots on the board and one is in use by GPU. Despite the smaller motherboard , there are plenty of USB 3.0. It has Bluetooth on it.

I was worried about the brand of the video card, and then I saw that the video card was from the player's country. I am very satisfied, the computer is bought to do industrial design, usually also play games, but 1t solid state, it is best to have a 1t mechanical hard disk will be better.
