Easy Setup
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased an omen by HP at a very cheap price as it was returned and I thought it was a good buy,and it gave me the 3 beeps. So I quickly returned it and got this ibuypower PC in exchange. I have only had it for a couple of hours now but within those couple of hours I’ve been impressed. It’s very fast and easy set up. Downloaded fortnite in a breeze and gamed very well! It’s super quiet and the lights in the interior give it a cool vibe. Defiantly a great buy so far!

Great buy
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price, this is the best PC I've ever had. It's easy to update things. It's quiet. Putting new drives in and finding where to mount them (especially 3.5 inch drives) - but if you're used to figure this out, it's not a problem. Biggest complaint, 1 year later I can't find the manual online or off or on my PC...

Super Fast
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Decided to try a gaming PC. Sooo much faster than XBox. (Note: I did have to repurchase games, of course, but they were on sale.) Setup was easy and the December promo price was awesome! There are some drivers and the Windows backup on DVD, but I bought a cheap USB DVD read/writer that works just fine. I've read about the fan issue (not cooling enough) and I will keep tabs on it, but using it for 1 day has been amazing!

Excellent gaming PC, but needs better start guide.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.BB952 review: PROS: --Well packaged. self-expanding foam secured the GPU snugly in its motherboard slot. --Great bang for the buck: on sale $1299(3/9/19), free shipping, free game(be sure to give your email because that's how the code is received for Anthem/Metro Exodus/Battlefield V choice). --So far, running the following games perfectly on an LG 32GK850F monitor at >60fps, high/ultra settings, 1440p resolution, HDR, Freesync/G-Sync enabled: Anthem, Division 2, Forza Horizon 4, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Doom(no HDR). CONS: --The quick start guide does not mention connecting the WIFI antennas. Only by reading these fellow BestBuy reviews did I know to look out for them in the parts bag. --No documentation at all about the case lighting. Some reviews here mention a remote control. Other reviews mention software. I didn't get a remote, so I looked in Windows Control Panel and saw programs for ASRRGBLED, MSI Mystic Light, and Razer Chroma. Process of elimination: no Razer peripherals, the MSI program didn't work. For my model, it turns out the ASRRGBLED program controls the lighting. For future buyers, please give some guidance.

After 2 weeks - Very Happy
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This pc has been everything I hoped for. Setup went without a hitch. No extra bloatware to have to uninstall. Boots up super fast. No compatibility problems with new graphics card. The only con would be the wireless card which is not the fastest. No problem for me since I connect with gig ethernet. I have never been more pleased with a new PC. CUDO's to IBUYPOWER. I hope it stands the test of time.

Excellent Gaming PC
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I ordered and picked up this PC on Black Friday, and it is amazingly fast. The 16 GB of DD4 RAM and 1 TB SSD really make this machine power through games and video/movie making software, and it included a keyboard and gaming mouse with integrated LED lighting. So far, Fortnite and Leagues of Legends run great and my Pinnacle Studio are running better than expected. The machine does not generate a lot of heat and is very quite. I would recommend this machine and I always trust Best Buy with electronic purchases.

My first gaming system, so far so good
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The store experience at Bestbuy was pretty good, except for the fact that some digital download redemption codes for some games from an Nvidia RTX promo were not on my Bestbuy receipt. So I had to call support, who had their "codemaster" (really, I'm not making that up) send me some codes. Except the codemaster sent 3 codes, all keyed for the RTX 2080, not the 2070, so I couldn't use any of them. Had to call back again and finally the codemaster sent the correct redemption code. I'm very impressed with the RTX 2070 GPU on this system. As this is my first gaming system, I had to get used to some of the LED lighting, etc, and I tossed the gaming mouse and keyboard that were included and use the normal mouse/keyboard. Even though this system is spec'd for gaming, the specs also work out good for video editing/processing, which is what I got it for. One negative may be that it was hard to find supporting drivers/bios updates/software from iBuyPower. It was hard to even determine the MB manufacturer and correct updates to get. But eventually I got it all sorted out. Overall it seems like a good system at a decent price.

Prebuilt Power
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great way to get a rig without having to build one yourself. The performance allows you to run the most modern games at high settings w/out a dip in experience. This setup should last for years and you will not feel left behind. What I like... --RAM comes in with 2*8 GB DDR4 in 2/4 slots --MSI mobo --i7 processor, 6 core with 3.2/4.6 turbo GHz --ADATA 1TB SSD --Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2070 Gaming OC 8G. Destiny 2 on PC looks and plays amazing! I have found the case easy to clean, ascetically pleasing and the setup was a breeze. What I don't like... --processor should have been an 8700k, instead of an 8700 --mouse, though it looks really good, it lacks in performance, when paired up against other gaming mice. I do not think it's a throwaway, but I wouldn't purchase it separately for its performance --As for the keyboard - JUNK! Seriously, it's hot garbage. Within 2 weeks of use the shift key does not depress well and the lettering has been rubbing off the WADS keys. I do believe that this setup could have been immediately better by including any inexpensive model line from a major gaming peripheral manufacturer --Case lighting has a manual remote controller and I believe this would be a more polished setup had it been connected to the mobo

Beast of a machine
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is a very good pc, but my trashy internet makes my Fortnite bug, average Fortnite fps is around 100-120 if y'all are wondering. No lag at all for me YET (I got this today) also shoutout the boy "Pinapple" on twitch for selling me this awesome pc!

Good Pc for the Price
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.PC is good for its cost. If you're inpatient like me and don't want to wait for parts to ship, this PC is a good choice. So far everything I've thrown at it has ran well at 1440p. WoW on Ultra while in Boralus was a solid 60fps constant. Subnautica is running flawlessly just as well. The PC uses a 8gb nvidia 2070 and holy moly its great. As far as the physicality of the PC it's very basic cosmetic wise. The case has a tempered glass side, RGB lighting on the front and top inside of the case. Sadly no SD card slot on the top but it isn't worth docking a star for. PC has built in WiFi and Bluetooth. If you're like me and not wanting to build and wait for parts, this machine is a good choice. Now I just wait for the Occulus Rift S I ordered and then I can comment on VR capabilities.

Solid Gaming PC
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.At the time of this writing I've owned the system for about 2 weeks. The system runs fast and has run my games exceptionally well. I first used a 1080p monitor and it ran Forza 7, Forza Horizon 4, Apex, Minecraft, and Assetto Corsa at well over 100fps. I then got a 1440p monitor and generally FPS has still hung around 80-100 with all in game settings at maximum quality. To get the system down to this price point they did skimp on the motherboard and cooling. The MB is an ASRock B360M micro-ATX which only has one PCI-E slot left open below the GPU. The case only has 2 fans and the CPU is air-cooled with a Cooler Master unit. I mainly dropped it to 4 stars based on the lack of fans, only 2 fans in a case that supports up to 5 to save a couple bucks doesn't sit well with me. Pros: Fast PC - runs any game I've played so far very well at 1440p It's not too loud even at load Tempered glass and RGB look nice Cons: Limited upgradability and no overclocking due to MB Only 1 intake and 1 exhaust fan provided (there's room for 3 more) CPU temps peak around 78-82 under load, GPU peak around 75 - its acceptable but I would prefer a little cooler.

Solid Machine
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I generally build my own but my last two machines have been prebuilt simply due to being the most cost effective and time effective way to get a new rig. Pros: Good Performance Fair for the cost Motherboard has room for expansions Case has room for expansion 1 SSD and 2 IDE's, some might miss them because they are a plates screwed in. Cons No RGB Remote. I have yet to find the software to control it. CPU Fan is not stock, but basic after market. Idle temps at 55-60 degrees Celsius, goes up to about 70 while playing games. Will have to replace this fan for a better one, wish they spent a little bit more to put in a cool master 212 or something it's only a $35 fan i'm sure they could buy in bulk and keep cost down. The box shows a water cooler for some reason lol. Windows is on a CD, but no CD drive, why is this not on a thumb drive? Wouldn't cost much to do this. Case has room for more fans, but the motherboard is limited to 2 sysfan connectors, so be prepared to buy daisy chain converters to. All in all, i'm going to need to input at least $70 more into the cooling the rig, I would of preferred they did this and charged just a little bit more so I don't have mess with it. I received the MSI B360M Bazooka Main Board. MSI RTX 2070 Armor 8GB. (Only has 1 HDMI port, no DVI) So be prepared to use Display Ports. The RAM is ADATA DDR4-2666 / PC4-21300 DDR4 SDRAM UDIMM Still I am satisfied and would buy ibuypower again.

Good pre-build, easy setup, pretty fair price tag
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall, an amazing device for your money - and definite top contender for pre-built devices. Set up was pretty much done all ready, what was left was a breeze. Pretty much just driver installation and personalizing. I suggest picking and choosing what to download rather than using the disk, as the cp is capable of doing this out of the box, but it would be very simple to use another computer and external storage device (or portable disk drive, if you have one) if you want to use the disk. So far, I'm not a fan of the software that comes on the disk, but that is a non-issue with the machine itself. Hardware wise, aside from one visibly loose cable that was probably pushed aside by the large packing pillow that you need to remove, there was nothing that needed tightening up. Unfortunately, the cables are not housed neatly in the housings/wraps shown in ALL of the pictures on Bestbuy's website, iBUYPOWER's website and on the box. Additionally, I cannot seem to get the rear panel for connections to fit snugly - it protrudes inward and touches the top corner of the motherboard.

So Far So Good!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Computer has nice components built in and was very easy to set-up. Weight is much lighter than the PC I replaced. I like the 1TB SSD and the graphics card that comes with it. Also like the LED lights.

Great gaming computer
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I originally bought this computer on January 3rd but had to return it a few days later due to problems playing games. It would get black lines on the screen and then just completely freeze. My fiance said it could be a GPU issue and I just exchanged it for the exact same computer. This new one is much better and I have had no problems. It is extremely fast and I love how pretty it looks. I have played games like Ark and World of Warcraft with no problems. I will also be setting up my new Oculus soon and see how it handles it. Overall I think this is a great computer and recommend it.
