Came with plugs incorrect and ram in wrong slots
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this assuming that the money i spent would buy me a WORKING PC. It blue screened 10 seconds after startup and continues to blue screen with various errors even after all drivers were updated. Had help from multiple IT buddies and found many hardware error codes and issues. I did not buy this to drive an hour to return and wait another week for a new one. I would not buy this as you can build your own PC and ensure that it works when you run it.

DO NOT BUY
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Do not buy this pc!! I bought this pc about a year and a half ago and it is awful. I have had so many problems with it. The ram died in it about 8 months in so I had to replace those. I constantly get the blue screen of death. I’m writing this review while in a constant loop of blue screen of death telling me critical process died. I regret buying this pc so much I wish I would’ve just built my own.

Would not power on and tech support is Not good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this system for my son. He was so excited and when we powered it on...zilch...nothing... We called tech support and they only answer Monday to Friday 9-5. Not good. We called and were told to leave our number and we would receive a call back, we were 3rd in line. I’m still waiting for that call back....

Highly disappointed. Dead on arrival.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this PC during tax free weekend. Returned it the very next day. The PC wouldn’t turn on. Spent over 2 hours watching videos and troubleshooting. I was planning on getting an exchange, but was told I’d have to pay an additional $65 because it’s no longer tax free weekend. Long story short, I returned for full refund and I will look else where for my first gaming PC.

Buy from an online retailer
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this PC hoping I would have great results as the specs are pretty decent. I constantly have issues with it losing signal to a second monitor or freezing. Geeksquad hasnt been any help as they want me to pay for fixes or send it in. They also wont do anything as they have made me go right to iBuypower because they are the manufacturer. I have replaced the GPU and MOBO and still no success.

Faulty Hardware
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Havent even had this machine for 2 years and everytime I play a game on it it randomly shuts down, ive tried updating drivers, looking up troubleshooting tips to only find that its probably a serious hardware malfunction. And the only way to test to see exactly what part it is is to have extra parts on hand, (graphics card, psu, etc.) Would not recommend.

Blue Screen of Death (BSODs) When Gaming
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got constant BSODs when gaming. I wasted a ton of time trying to figure out the problem, updating drivers, reinstalling Windows etc but in the end figured I'd just return it. The whole reason you buy a prebuilt is to avoid these types of headaches. Will never be purchasing from IBUYPOWER again.

Missing and defective parts
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Didn’t have mouse included as indicated. Only one of the ram slots worked and until I figured this out There was no display on the monitor. After I figured out the ram issue, it wouldn’t boot because the hdd wasn’t even installed which I assume has the OS. Overall not to happy with the poor quality of the build. Definitely making a trip into the store for an exchange.

Hung out to dry
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.3 months after purchase pc no longer detects boot drive. Best buy will not offer any warranty support and we were told "good luck" fixing it ourselves from the geek squad. Shipping to manufacturer is a little over 150 dollars so if something goes wrong expect 0 assistance from BestBuy and a costly shipping fee that will not be reimbursed.

Cooling unit out within a year.
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Cooling unit went out within a year of purchase. Processors going 40C to 100C+ within 60 seconds of gameplay when the cooling unit seized. Still waiting on the replacement under manufacturer warranty. They seem to be dragging their feet.

Immediate problems
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Already needs repair. Opened on Christmas 2020 and it's been issue after issue. Instore rep assured me any common pc monitor would be compatible, not the case as it has to be an hdmi monitor. Then, it comes with a CD for setup BUT NO CD DRIVE to use it... the problems go on

Reboot
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When I use this computer, it often reboots. He could only play some very low-level games, and the 3A masterpiece would not work at all, the graphics card would be hot, and then restart.

Don't buy!
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought it and the lights weren't shinning and had issues. Brought it back and returned for another one. Second one was worst because in a week we got error message. Brought it back and we switched it out for an Alienware and paid the difference. BEST SWITCH EVER!

Short life span and poor technical support
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This computer lasted about 6 months. When we called Ibuypower tech support, you cannot get through. After 3 hours on hold, someone came on and then promptly hung up. Unfortunately, gaming computers with hardware issues are not eligible for Bestbuy total tech support.
