Nice Computer. I like it.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought two of these, one for home and one for office. My old machines were about 5 years old. These are fast and easy to set up. And best is that there is not a ton of additional useless software that was preloaded. It is also extremely quiet. My only issue is that I cant seem to figure out to make the lights change color in the tower. They are stuck on blue while the keyboard and mouse work perfectly. It is not a big deal, but it would look cool. Overall impressed with these. I think I have had them about a month now.

Not just for gaming
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had to replace my 6 year old "business" tower when it died during the lockdown. I decided to try a gaming PC because I wanted reliable speed, storage and video for my working at home and stream service binging. Options were limited as people were gobbling up units to game while stuck at home, so admittedly the ibuypower brand wasn't top of my list. I did more research and found it's actually a well respected brand for gaming towers and the price was at least comparable to the other mid-range gaming PCs. My basic requirement was an i7-9x core and at least 500GB on board storage. This fit the bill and it was delivered in less time than expected (so yay for Best Buy fulfillment for getting it to me in 2 days instead of 3!). This took very little time to set up (mainly me fussing about with getting my programs and apps back, etc.) and the first thing I noticed is how super quiet this thing is! I thought I'd need to get liquid cooling for that, but the fans on this are whisper quiet. Can't say I was a big fan of all the LED (in fact, one of the front LED circles wasn't working, but I know it's an easy fix adjusting the wires that might have been jiggled in transit). You can easily turn them off (which I did) so aside from this unit being fairly significant in size (it's about 1/3 larger than older ASUS tower) it's well worth it. Easy access to ports in back and on top, and super fast processing for apps and files thanks to the SSD storage. Overall, I'm really happy with this and would recommend it to anyone who wants a really solid, fast, quiet PC for everyday use, not just for gaming!

Perfect PC to get into gaming!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've owned this particular PC for a couple days now, and nothing about it ceases to amaze me. Coming from a Skylake i5 processor and HDD memory only - this is an absolute night and day difference. The SSD with Windows installed on it boots lightning fast, and the 1TB HDD is a perfectly fine alternative for your less-important files. The i7-9700f boasts 8 cores, staring the latest and greatest games with maxed out settings in the eyes, ready to make your experience a breeze. Of course, this is all in tandem with the NVIDIA RTX-2060 Super, powered with 8 GB of dedicated GDDR6 VRAM. 16 GB of essential DDR4 RAM will get your gaming needs satisfied, and with all of these high end workhorses at work together, you won't be disappointed. The day of outrageously overpriced and under-powered prebuilts are over. The added gaming keyboard and mouse are a nice touch! I gave them to my little brother as I already had a setup, he was thrilled. To top it all off, the presentation is beautiful. From the tempered glass side, to the visible RGB fans up front, it's a work of art. I'm happy! Thank you for the great product iBUYPOWER! :)

Awesome computer!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking for a gaming PC to replace my wonky laptop. My laptop just can't run too many games without going crazy. This came nicely packed with a free mouse and keyboard! There was styrofoam inside the PC so that nothing inside gets damaged. The lighting is awesome and it's great for the price. The mouse and keyboard were a nice touch although they are not the greatest. It was very easy to set up and had instructions for me to follow. So far I am very satisfied with my purchase!

BEASTLY COMPUTER!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Take my review with a grain of salt, as I'm not a gamer, but a video and photo editor. With that being said....this computer is AMAZING! I'm coming from a Macbook Pro with a 750m graphics card (4GB). I upgraded my camera to a 6K build. I'm a camera geek but my knowledge of computers is a novice at best, so my biggest concern when doing my research was finding a computer that could handle 6k editing as everything I read/watched talked about the perfect 4K editing build. This computer CHEWS through 6K footage like butter! I get full playback with no dropped frames on clips with a color grade and at full resolution in Davinci Resolve and Adobe Premeire pro! If you're on the fence about this thing, just get it. A few minor cons: Keyboard has terrible travel and feels like an old school Windows 95 keyboard. And lastly, for some strange reason, it won't connect to the Wifi at in my new place (though it connects to everything else). I had to buy a Wifi usb adapter to fix the problem. Otherwise, love this PC.

Just Bought Yesterday
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I just bought this yesterday, sorta... I bought one and had to return it because it was stuck on the Boot screen and wouldn't load the OS. Interestingly, the one I first purchased actually had 6 USB ports in the back with 2 additional on the top front. The inside was also a little different than what I have now (BB970). Did they give me the wrong machine the 1st time? Still checking out the replacement machine and will give it 5 stars for now. Hated spending time unpacking and trying to load the 1st one and then same day return. Alls well now so...

Great Gaming PC for the $$$$$!!!!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This PC has so much value. The i7 processor, 16 GB memory and a GPU that is a GeForce RTX 2060 Super all for $1299.00. I researched this purchase for a couple of weeks and I could not find a better value at this price point for this equipment. The form factor is great as well. Beautiful case with synched RGB lighting. My only quibble is that after setup, not all of the fans were lighting. It was a simple fix of checking connections which had wiggled loose in transit.

Great for the price
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.iBUYPOWER has always been a brand I've been interested in, there computers always have great specs and are all in aesthetically sound cases. I decided to switch to a desktop after a couple of bad experiences with some gaming laptops and I do not really regret it. the PC runs anything i throw at it while keeping quite and the RGB fans can be controlled with a installed program. I also noticed a lack of pre-installed software that can be quite annoying. Overall this thing seems awesome and will last anybody a couple of years.

Great for a new computer gamer!!!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have owned this gaming desktop for about a month now and I have to say it was a great buy. I got it and took it out of the box and set it up and worked right away. Had no problems at all setting it up and it runs the games I play smoothly (PUBG + Escape from Tarkov) while having the internet up looking at a map on my side screen. It is great for someone just getting onto pc gaming because it already built and it works and you don't have to worry about upgrading for while. I am going to get 16GB more of ram just help multitasking better but its not something I absolutely have to do right now. It is also great because you do have room to update and upgrade at your own pace and you don't feel it is already outdated.

Great PC Gaming station with room to grow
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased mine yesterday and spent all night getting it set up. The system is great. The only issue I encountered was similar to what a lot of other people had where one of the fans in the back would not light up, however with spin. I was able to get around that by taking off the metal side panel, where it looks like a wire was just pinched. As soon as I loosened it, everything was good. I am someone who has never had a gaming PC and relied on YouTube videos about building a PC myself before ultimately deciding on this pre-built model. I’m not going to knock a star for this because it’s really up to the user, however I do wish there were better instructions about updating the bios, graphics card, and installing all of the necessary drivers. Overall I don’t regret this purchase which is saying something for anything you spend over $1K on in my personal opinion.

Great Desktop
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.m not at all computer savvy. I bought something that I thought would be easy to set up and play. I can’t believe how easy this was. It had very clear instructions and very few steps to get started. I mostly play WOW and wanted something for faster, cleaner gameplay. I found everything in this computer. The graphics are outstanding with crisp, clear vistas, the gameplay is fast, and the load times are short. For this price, I couldn’t have asked for a better PC. It even plays better than my gf’s Mac. I also like that you have the option of changing the computer color or turning it off altogether. It comes with a remote for color modes. I’m very happy and excited to play. I would highly recommend this for casual gamers.

Overall a great gaming desktop with decent power
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This desktop is great runs smooth. I would recommend buying this if you don't want to wait up to 2 weeks to build your own. My only problem was the rear fan rgb's were not plugged in. It was a easy enough fix but the average person might not now how too. So if you choose to buy this desktop you might need to hook 1 or 2 things up. Otherwise it works great.

Outstanding Pre-built PC!!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.2nd day owning this PC now and the raw power produced by this system is more than satisfactory. It can easily run any big title game on Max graphical settings while achieving 100+ frames. For example it runs at 350+ FPS on fortnite and 160~ on more graphically demanding games like The Forest. The PC is very quiet and stays at a cool tempurature. It does not struggle at all mid game even after 4+ hours of nonstop gaming. One last plus has to be the RGBs built into the PC, they are beautiful and you can customize them however you'd like with the pre-installed software!

I'm impressed.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.SO fast! This is replacing a 7 year old (formerly) top of the line gaming computer. I don't game, but I do a lot of graphics work, so a rock steady, flicker free, GPU and MB/memory circuitry are necessary, and fast image processing speed is quite useful when manipulating large image files. I had bought an HP Omen 875-0034 on the Black Friday sales (similar specs), and returned it because it had very noticeable display flicker, and lousy contrast. so I was hoping that that would not be the case with this one, and it's not. This IBUYPOWER blows the HP totally out of the water in all ways. This computer is, in one word, FABULOUS. Absolutely no flicker, great contrast, super fast..and as a bonus, the tower is SILENT. An added note for those who were wondering: you CAN turn off the tower light show. I switched off all the LEDs, so it's completely dark except for the top power switch light and the little LED strip on the GPU. Perfect for my purposes. I haven't figured out if I can turn the mouse LEDs off or not, yet, but they don't bother me so I don't think that matters, and I use an aftermarket ergo keyboard, so I have no idea if you can turn the lights off the one that comes with this machine, either. I did the Geekbench and Passmark tests on this, and it came up as being really fast (98th percentile on the Passmark tests for the system). It is more than an order of magnitude faster than any computer I have used before. So, so far so good! If it ends up being reliable, I will be thrilled with this purchase. Highly recommended!

Great PC
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The 2060 super is great. No need to fiddle, just play. And play it on the bast settings. Not only performs but is quiet. If you are looking between a 2060 super machine and a 5700 machine. TRUST ME pay a few extra bucks. The 5700 requires time and tinkering to get the most out of it, isn't great to live with. It is also crazy loud. The i7 9700f lacks overclock but frankly doesn't need it. Super responsive and is rarely maxed. There are a couple games that put some pressure on it but certainly nothing in everyday use. The rest of the machine's internal parts are mas builder stuffs, and you should expect lower end spectrum pieces on all machines in this price range and spec. They all work and will do for the long term for most folks. If you are gaming, buy this with no fear. Everything just runs. and runs well on high and ultra setting. Can't image how awesome a 144hz monitor would rip. If you are not gaming why on earth are you looking at this machine crazy dude! You don't need a discrete graphics card to run MS Word and if you get a lower card you can get more better other stuffs.

Great first step on pc-building/gaming world
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's a great option if you are a complete beginner to building your PC like me. I wanted to start learning about all the components BUT also to start enjoying games right away. The PC I bought came ready to just boot and get at it. I immediately started a trial for xbox game pass and started immersing myself in the newest games ( i never but the latest console generation). I've been learning about all pc related things slowly but surely, AND at my own pace (whether it's analysing how certain games put stress on different resources, experimenting with changing graphic settings, trying to see at what point greater FPS don't matter that much for my eyes, etc) All major components are very high quality but as far as I can see some of the minor ones are lower quality brands (PSU, fans, etc.) It's what you would expect for the price tbh. I got it at a $300 discount so I couldn't help believe I ripped off the store as I would be hard pressed to even get all the components individually for the same price ( I'm a beginner though, so I may be wrong here). Finally, since it's pre-built you might wanna open it at some point and make sure everything is correctly connected. I had the lowest frontal fan RGB light off, which strangely took me a long time to realize there was even a fan there haha, so I simply opened it up, followed it's cable and reconnected it along with the others. Now that I remember I've been having a lot of problems connecting the ASRock RGB lighting software to Razer conect (so my fans are the same color as keyboard and mouse), but I guess that's just due to crappy software from the motherboard brand they chose to use. It's still really annoying though.
