Great Desktop
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really enjoy this computer. I never owned a gaming computer but this one came highly recommended by several computer geniuses I know. I was not disappointed. I've always played games such as tf2 and paladins and these are big storage games that takes whiles to load. With this computer not only did it download with great timing, but the processor in this thing is amazing. After playing with it, I have noticed everything seems to go more smooth and runs efficiently. Something I have never had with a computer before. So glad I bought this computer it is so worth the money!

Good Build for the Average Consumer
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall, very pleased with this desktop (bought for my wife). Purchase price and hardware provided great value, offering a significant bang for the buck. Love the fact that there's a great video card - no need to upgrade in the near future. I really appreciated the fact that this was not loaded with any bloatware (adds & product offers). This fact alone will make me consider other iBUYPOWER products in the future when it's time to replace my system. Hardware configuration is sufficient for almost all users except those serious gamers. The downside to the hardware configuration is upgrade limitations. NOTE: This does not come with a CD/DVD Drive! Don't expect to easily add an internal optical drive accessible from the front of the box. An external add is the only practical, cheap and easy option. The motherboard is small and not feature rich but quite sufficient. An Internal hard drive can be added but not easily due to the case design/layout. For my wife's use and applications this system is probably overkill and won't require an upgrade for it's expected life. I must say that I'm impressed at the system speed, how cool the desktop stays and the minimal noise from the fans (undetectable under the desk). If you're satisfied with this hardware and don't have extensive upgrade plans, I highly recommend this product. Everything worked out of the box. The desktop was well packed and protected. If you're unsure of the hardware configuration and/or upgrade options, visit a store that stocks these and check it out.

Awesome first setup
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve had this computer for over a week now, and it is running like a dream. Was ready to go straight out of the box. This is my first pc and although I’ve been watching videos on YouTube, setting this thing up was super easy. I’ve already put a good amount of time on it playing pubg, blackout, and fort nite and it runs without a hiccup. I strongly recommend this to anyone getting into the pc universe. A+

Good Price, Some Components are underwhelming
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got the PC for a great deal and it comes with good internals. It plays games well. The CPU does get hot (83+C) and this is where some of the issues come in. The CPU fan that this comes with is not the best so I ordered a new one. I am assuming the thermal paste is not put on the best. No biggie. I understand cranking out mass pre-builts to suppliers. Another thing is the motherboard. Its an ASRock b360m ib-r which I can not find info about anywhere. I think it is just a mass built mobo for big buyers. If anyone knows where I can find info about this specific MOBO that would be awesome! The ram is also another thing that could be better coming in at 2666k is a little underwhelming. Seems like another mass-built for suppliers model Adata. Overall, it is a great PC! With a few minor upgrades, it will be a PC that can play for 3 years solid.

Awesome Desktop for Architecture Students
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was gifted this by my father after using a 512GB SSD, 16GB RAM, GeForce GT 750M 2GB Graphics Card late 2013 15" MacBook Pro for 5 years while in architecture school and needing an upgrade for the larger projects I am working on in my last year and will work on in the future. I specifically needed an upgrade to run certain programs, to work my projects faster and not wait on the elements to load while orbiting or switching views, and to have more storage space. So far I have only had this desktop for a week or so and it runs beautifully. I was a bit hesitant to move from a Mac to something else but the price comparison was just not even close so this had to do. To my surprise setting this up was super easy, just like setting up a Mac, I followed the instructions plugged everything in, just like setting up a console or apple tv really, and then started. It was super easy, just have to follow the windows settings wizard and that was it the computer was ready to be used within like 20 minutes of unboxing. The first difference I noticed which is obvious was how much storage space this desktop has, this particular one comes with 1TB SSD, but has the space to install another one if needed later on. So I downloaded all the programs a regularly use and then some. Ex: Revit, AutoCAD, Photohsop, Illustrator, InDesign, 3DS Max, Lumion 9.5 Pro Student, Acrobat DC Pro, Google Earth, TeamViewer, etc. After installing 200 GB worth of programs I barely scratched the 1TB SSD compared to on my MacBook Pro in which I had a 150 partition and was always having to download/uninstall programs and moving working files to usb/external drives as I needed them. Now I have more programs than ever and still have plenty of space for all my actual working files. I do feel as if I will need to purchase another SSD drive within 2-3 years as I have more and more project files but that just comes with the territory and it was nice to see that there is another "port" on which to mount another SSD when needed so if you cannot afford the upgraded SSD in the beginning you can always purchase another one later on. The second thing I noticed and was extremely satisfied with was after installing all the programs and transferring all the working files, I kinda tested the computer by opening several programs and running multiple projects at the same time. This unit had no problem having Lumion 9.5, Revit, Illustrator, and YouTube running simultaneously. I wanted to take it a step further so I opened up the project I am currently working on and started just working through it like nothing, no lag or anything. Side note for context, I am working on a project that I started on my MacBook Pro and it was struggling to keep up in Revit. I would have to have everything else closed and just running 4 or 5 views open in revit without the program lagging so much it became unworkable for me. Its a 2 mile long building, with detailed structure, roofs, floors, screen systems, 3 mile by 5 mile mountain topography model, designed for 100,000 occupants, so it was a pretty hefty file. And on this desktop it didn't even budge, I had my task manager open to check how it was doing and it was just feeling a light tickle. Needless to say, I was very impressed. Next I wanted to check out the graphics card which was the primary reason I needed the upgrade. I was trying to run Lumion 9.5 Pro Student which required a minimum of 2GB designated to a graphics card which my MacBook Pro barely had, but had an ancient one, so it couldn't even open up Lumion because it was so outdated. So I opened up Lumion, "LiveSync"ed my city model with topography and everything and started setting up the scene. I added about 5000 trees, a huge body of water because that's in the topo, and a bunch of other objects/materials and this desktop was able to do everything perfectly with very little to no lag time. But that was not the impressive part. I went to play around with making some renders in Lumion, granted I just started using Lumion with the purchase of this equipment. I used to do all my renders local on the MacBook Pro in Revit from around 2014 - 2016 which took anywhere from 4 hours to 24+ hours for one single render, but switched to cloud rendering within Revit as soon as I found out about it so I was used to waiting less than 1 hour to have a large format png/tiff. So I just took some views in lumion added some of the default effects and selected poster size and oressed "render." I wasn't really working on anything urgent at the moment and was heading out to a play soccer, so I just wanted to see about how long it would take, I was willing to let it run overnight, but from the time I hit "render, " got dressed and ready to leave this desktop had finished the rendering. Amazing. Now if you don't know what the poster size on Lumion is, its an image bigger than 24" tall by 96" wide. I know because one of my boards is 21" tall by 96" wide and when I placed the render on there it was bigger than the entire board by maybe 4/3. So it did a gigantic render in less than 4 minutes, who needs the cloud then. I still need to test local renders in Revit for comparison to what I know more because I am not sure if Lumion renders faster because its real time render program, but I have a feeling its just the power of this unit. Another important mention not specifically about this desktop but in general, it is so convenient to have a 23" monitor in comparison to a 15" laptop, there is just so much more space on this screen to work view things. And I am saving up for another monitor so that would make my workflow even better. So in conclusion, I would highly recommend this unit. I might have bought more than I need at this specific time, since it feels like I am not even scratching the surface of what this machine can do, but I feel like the investment made in it now will still be relevant for 4-5 years which by that time it would have definitely paid itself off and then I could just upgrade the components inside and not have to get a completely new system.

Great machine especially for the price!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The RTX 2070 just makes your eyes melt when playing in high settings when paired with a decent monitor. iBuyPower really built a great machine here. It's paired with a 1 TB SSD which REALLY makes a difference when it comes to loading screens. The only complaint I could possibly have is the fans kind of get loud but it is not bad at all.

Great Gaming PC!!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this right before Christmas and am just now getting around to fully checking everything out. This PC is a great gaming PC and when you can get it on sale for $300 less it’s a much greater deal. Boot time is amazing. Within seconds you are at the desktop after pushing the badly placed power button. I have tried several games, and none have bogged down, lagged, stuttered, or failed. Very pleased with the graphics card. Have ran everything on max settings and had zero issues. The LED lights are cool, and it comes with a little remote to change the colors or patterns. I keep mine on solid red because the changing of colors messes with my eyes. You can also turn this off with the remote. So far there are only 3 cons about this PC that I have. The first is that it does not come with a CD/DVD drive, fixable with the purchase of an external cd/DVD drive. The 2nd is the keyboard. It looks cool, but it's cheap and feels like something you would use on a kid toy computer. I will be upgrading the keyboard for sure. 3rd is the placement of the power button and the USB ports on the top of the computer. The power button works nice, but its very sensitive and my cats have stepped on it several times and turned the pc on. 4th the front USB ports are nice to have, but again they are on top and when you have something plugged in they stick up. Not something that I can’t get past, would just rather have them on the front of the pc.

Great for the price
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this pc last week and have had a great experience so far. I was looking for a pc that would run most of my games on high settings, this one does that and more! Plus the price was right, Setup was pretty straight forward, and the mouse it comes with isnt bad, I have yet to test out the keyboard, but for now I will continue using my ducky.

Excellent, simple and powerful
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this PC for my family of 4. It is a powerhouse unit that will last me for the rest of children's schooling. We have bought a less expensive PC for xmas a couple years ago, it is painful to work on. The IPower unit was simple to set up and it will allow everyone to get their work done and play a game or two. I would highly recommend this.

Great Tinker Toy and Gaming System
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Like the other reviewers, I just can't justify building one when this one has better components than I could ever assemble at this price point. The build quality is great, I love the tempered glass case. Unlike other reviewers, I found the cable management was as good or better than I would have done, mine must have had a different builder. The fans run quiet and the performance is incredible. Temps seem to hover around 50C under load, I saw it get close to 60C once, well under manufacturer spec. Plus, zero bloatware installed! Hardware is well supported. Both ASUS and NVIDIA have updates issued in the same month I purchased. A few small things: - The mouse is ok but the keyboard moves around as it's feet are not very tacky on the desktop. The enter key is misshapen so I frequently miss it when typing. Also, they glow red even when the computer is off. I don't really care though on a practically free keyboard and mouse. - RGBs are different software mobo vs GPU, so you can't sync them. The are bright and beautiful though and fun to play with. I think I'll just keep the GPU off and add some more pretty fans to the mobo. It's very cool looking my wife says it's proud.

Great gaming machine
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Runs lightning fast and games run smooth with high FPS. Also, it looks pretty nice. No complaints except the keyboard that came with it was very cheap. The E key consistently inputs 3's after every E, which is quite obnoxious. No complaints with the PC or mouse, these work great and every game I have tried looks better than ever.

Amazing Computer
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I just upgraded from a custom build PC and I'm already happy. The computer was shipped in excellent condition with no issues or dents in the box. The computer was easy to setup. I'm so surprised at how fast it is and how easily it handles games. I highly recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a high end gaming PC.

Good premade system
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My old tower that i built towards the end of 2007 and had sporadically been updating in the last 11+ years finally crapped out to the point where i decided i needed to either start fresh or buy something pre-made. After about 8 straight hours of price hunting for parts to build and pre-made systems, and factoring the fact that i am going to be moving soon and work overtime hours, i decided to go with buying one pre-made that was available to pick-up in-store. I feel like i'm getting a pretty good build for the price. My old tower got used for gaming, work, and being a media server (the last few years it had almost exclusively been the last). The case isn't setup to accommodate extra storage or optical drives, at least not the 4 HDDs i have from my old tower. I am buying an external enclosure for that, but i'm not marking off for it since this would have been the case with any PC i would have bought. I've run a few Benchmarks on it like GFXBench, and it's hurled out some good triple digit framerates. I was able to get going and download my usual group of apps within a couple of hours. I elected to use the Logitech keyboard and mouse that i already have instead of the ones included with the system. They look alright, but not as good as what i already have. I took off 1 star for a couple of minor things. When screwing in the WiFi antennae, i managed to pop the connector loose inside the case. I was able to reach around between the rear and CPU fans to tighten it back up, and the WiFi is working just fine. There is also limited documentation included with the system. I had to look up online where to find the software controls for the RGB lighting. Also, they included a DVD with Graphics drivers which seems silly considering there is no optical drive in this thing.

Easy Setup
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy Setup. Came with different display ports than advertised, but this was OK because there were more ports than advertised and they were display ports instead of the advertised DVI port. Room for easy expansion. Free keyboard and mouse not bad. SSD makes for fast response time. Going to enjoy this for years to come!

Great machine for the price
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this Pc for $1299 for the price to performance ratio it can’t be beat. I recommend buying extra fans because this machine does run hot and only comes with 2 120mm fans preinstalled. Maybe a fan header as well because the motherboard doesn’t have many. Very good performance for the price. I highly recommend.

Powerful Computer for Digital Art and Design
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am not a gamer by any means, but needed to upgrade my previous custom built computer for something powerful enough to handle my business as a freelance illustrator and graphic designer. I often work in large, complex, high res images that can end up being thousands of layers in Photoshop and Illustrator, and this computer keeps up beautifully even with several other operations going on in the background! I have it set up with my favorite Wacom Intuos tablet and everything runs seamlessly with no lag. I realize there are now newer models on the market, and I would recommend this brand in a heartbeat. The only downside for me is all of the lights emitting from everything, including the mouse and keyboard, but I pulled the fuse on these and actually use my own keyboard that I find more comfortable. That's merely personal preference, and probably a cool element for the gaming customers. Nevertheless, my priorities and expectations in this computer have been met!

Good Gaming Rig
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this set up about a week ago. I set it up and ran it through its paces. It performs rather well. I was bummed this model did not come with the water cooling but the PC runs cool on full game load. I am Happy with the purchase. I also like the large case. It leaves lots of room for future upgrades

Rethink your expectations about this PC
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When I first got this PC, I wanted something that was not that great, but something I could continually modify to my liking to keep on making it faster and faster. But as I found out this PC is great even without modifying it. it is really reliable, graphics will make your current system look away in shame.
