    Pretty good for smaller games. Tried to play Spider-man on it and the cutscenes were pretty bad. Good for a budget pc though.

    CAUTION! These computers are being shipped out with Only 1 8GB of RAM and NOT the listed GPU. Once contacted ibuypower customer service, they stated sorry we made an error in the specs. I returned this unit 3 times to only find the same issue with each computer. Stay Away!

    The GPU included is not as pictured, it has no cooler on it and is only the card itself which makes it prone to overheating.

    This was my son’s big gift for Christmas. Highly disappointed when he got it all set up and all it did was light up. It never got a picture on the screen, just the tower kept doing its lights. Took it back and exchanged it out for a better option.

    It's been 20 days since I bought this PC as a gift to my son and I'm still not able to make it work. It seems like the video port isn't working; I tried 2 different cables and 2 different monitors. Worst part: contacting Best Buy was a terrible experience. Geek Squad hanged up on me and whe I finnaly was able to talk to someone after spending hours trying they told me I had to take the desktop, 32" monitor and cables to the store. So far a terrible, terrible experience!!!!!!!

    I hookded it and powered it on and updated it. I downloaded skyrim and tried to open the game for the first time and it crashed. Now the pc wont even power on. No lights, no sounds. Just nothing. $700 down the drain.

    Solid prebuilt Pc

    Solid pc on the cheaper end, especially if you’re not trying to build one. You could play most games on higher graphics. But like bigger games like cod, you’ll have to lower graphics.

    Ibuypower 5500

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought the Ibuypower 5500 at Best Buy for around $767 after tax. I mainly use it to edit video which is over kill but it works for now. I haven’t tried to play games on it. The only issue I have come across is that sometimes the mouse cursor disappears and be come invisible. It’s probably a setting thing. So far it’s good. The fans are kind of loud as it has 5 fans. My microphone can capture the fan noise when recording.
