Awesome gaming pc
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this PC on the 3rd, 4 days ago and I couldn't be happier with my decision. The graphics are impeccable and the speed is breathtaking, it is a monster compared to my last PC! I am a heavy gamer and there isn't a game in my steam library this PC can't run. My next purchase will be an Occulus rift-s because I know this PC will run it with flying colors! Thank you IBuyPower! Mel Keeling

Fast and Quiet
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A serious upgrade for me. Pros: Very fast. All my games are now at highest settings and I'm seeing things I've never seen before. Loads Photoshop in no time flat. Very quiet. I do a podcast and there's no background noise at all. If I'm doing something else in the room, I forget it's even on. Not loaded down with too much built-in software. The case is beautiful. Cons: Included keyboard seems a bit flimsy, and I did not receive the "included" mouse.

Great PC!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have owned this PC only for a couple of days but so far it has been great. Setup was very easy and i was able to start downloading games within 20 minutes after I opened it. All of my games are easily able to run at ultra settings. I got it for $300 off and it is a great value for what is inside. This is my first PC and I am overall very satisfied with my purchase.

Power supply
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m assuming it’s a faulty power supply but I’m no computer expert. Lights turn on for a split second and then nothing.

Reluctant at first, but pleasantly surprised.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was worried about buying a prebuilt computer at first, but my worries were cast away when I bought an iBUYPOWER. It runs reliably and hasn't failed me since. The graphics in my videogames are superb, running Destiny 2 and Rainbow Six at an average of 200-300 fps. Not only is this computer cheap, but it's extremely powerful! You're doing yourself a favor by purchasing one of these bad boys.

Great machine for AAA games
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I first bought an HP Omen Obelisk (similar price to this) because I liked the branding and it seemed like a good machine. If you are comparing between the two PICK THIS ONE. I had to return the HP Omen after a week because the CPU temps were getting up to 97C. People warned in the HP reviews and I thought "oh it'll be fine..." It was NOT. That being said, even though this iBuyPower machine is air-cooled it has a lot of fans that are put to good use. When playing the new COD on ultra settings, it is still insanely quiet. The highest it has gotten is about 71C. (Could easily be brought below 70 with just a better thermal paste, but isn't necessary.) If you want to upgrade to liquid cooling in the future it should be pretty easy to do as both side panels come off. However, I do not think you will have a problem with cooling this rig. MAKE SURE YOU DO ALL OF YOUR WINDOWS UPDATES FIRST THING when you plug it in! It might act a little wonky if you don't. It will take about 3 restarts probably to get all of the updates installed (won't take very long though). Also, when I got it plugged in it automatically displayed a lower resolution than my monitor was capable of so make sure you fix that or else things will look a little off. The only issue I had is out of the box the middle LED fan was not lighting up. If you run into this make sure you open up the right-side panel because more than likely something is just unplugged. Once I got the loose cable plugged in everything was lighting up as it should! I'm not sure if this model is supposed to come with an LED remote (mine didn't) but there is a program you can download that gives you way better control anyway. I have only had the computer a short amount of time so I will come back and edit this review if there are any issues. However, I can't foresee any. All-in-all great rig. Lots of room to upgrade and change parts if you want to, but you won't need to for a long time. You won't be disappointed!

Awesome!!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My mom surprised me with this PC for Christmas and its amazing! It's super quiet and very fast. I'm still learning all the specs but it's great so far! The only issue was the RGB lights on the top fan weren't working but it was a simple fix (unscrew side panel and plug connection in). I'm very happy with this PC!

Super Sweet PC!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.bought this computer on Dec. 27 2019, originally had planned on building a PC but when I seen the specs on this one it was pretty similar to the build I had in mind but this PC actually had a higher end graphics card. I got the computer on sale which was another bonus and the workers at best buy were very helpful and knowledgeable. got the PC home and unboxed it and must say packaging was very nice and secure. took about 30 minutes hooking the PC up and setting it up but after that was gaming in no time and all I can say is wow, computer handles everything I throw at it buttery smoothe and with zero issues. I've ran the computer hard for a couple weeks with a couple hours of gaming and work related tasks and this computer has yet to let me down. highly recommend. key board and mouse that comes with unit is nice but definitely not top of the line, after the first night of gaming the letters started rubbing off my keys, but as far as the mouse goes I have zero complaints.

Better than what I expected
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have never bought a computer like this before. I have only used gaming laptops. I just bought the computer today and love it. I ran all the games at ultra with no issues. Its also very quiet. I did all my research before I bought and watched a bunch of youtube videos too and liked what I saw. I'm happy with my decision.

Great gaming platform
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a replacement for my 7 year old computer. This is my first non-HP platform I have purchased. It is extremely quiet, fast and the graphics are out of this world.

So far so good!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this on Saturday for our 12 year old. Right out of the box, 2 of the fan lights weren't on. We were able to easily remove the side panel and reattach the lose cables and the lights came right back on. (seems common that these wires pop off during transport) I watched while our 12 year old activated the system, which he was able to do easily. Our only challenge at this time is that the gaming headset that he has, and which works perfectly, isn't being recognized at this time. We plan on working on that next. On initial impression, we love the beautiful tower with its illuminated fans. It's quiet.
