    Solid Performance and Great Value

    I purchased the iBUYPOWER Scale Gaming Desktop PC during the Black Friday sale, and it arrived on December 5th, right to my doorstep. Now, when I write the review, I saw the price is back to normal! I never regreted buying this one on sale! From the moment I set it up, I’ve been in love with this machine. The sleek black design looks modern and fits perfectly in my gaming and work setup. In terms of performance, it’s been fantastic for both gaming and running demanding statistical applications. Games run smoothly, and apps like R and Python-based statistical tools perform exceptionally well. The Intel Core i5 14400F processor combined with 16GB of DDR5 RAM ensures snappy performance even when multitasking. For gaming, most titles run like a dream. However, for some graphically intense games like Age of Empires IV, I did notice that I had to lower the settings a bit to maintain smooth performance. This isn’t a dealbreaker for me, but it’s worth noting that while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 is a solid GPU, it may require some tweaking for ultra-high graphics settings in the most demanding games. The 1TB NVMe SSD is a real highlight. Load times are virtually nonexistent, and there’s plenty of storage for my games, software, and files. I love how much faster everything feels compared to my previous setup with an HDD. One minor point is the fans can get a bit noisy under heavy load, but it’s not a major issue. The airflow and cooling system do their job well, as I haven’t noticed any overheating during extended sessions. Overall, I’m thrilled with this PC. It’s a great balance of power and value, especially for the price I got it for during the Black Friday sale. It’s perfect for anyone looking for a gaming and productivity desktop without breaking the bank. If you’re okay with tweaking settings for the most demanding games, this is an excellent choice. Would I recommend it? Absolutely! This machine delivers solid performance for both work and play.

    The iBUYPOWER Scale Gaming Desktop PC featuring the Intel Core i5-14400F processor, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 8GB GPU, 16GB DDR5 RAM, and a 1TB NVMe SSD is an excellent choice for gamers and content creators seeking a balance of performance, affordability, and future-proofing. Here’s a detailed review based on its specifications, performance, and personal experience. Performance This PC delivers exceptional gaming performance for its price point. The Intel Core i5-14400F processor, with its 6 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores, ensures smooth multitasking and reliable processing power. Paired with the NVIDIA RTX 4060 GPU, it handles modern games at high settings effortlessly. For instance: • Popular titles like Fortnite run at an impressive 260 FPS on Epic settings. • More demanding games such as Cyberpunk 2077 and Baldur’s Gate III perform well with DLSS enabled, maintaining high frame rates without compromising visuals. The inclusion of 16GB DDR5 RAM at 5200MHz ensures fast data handling, making multitasking seamless. Whether gaming or running applications like Photoshop or video editing software, the system remains responsive. The 1TB NVMe SSD is another highlight, offering lightning-fast boot times and ample storage for games and files. Build Quality and Design The iBUYPOWER Scale features a sleek ARGB gaming case with tempered glass panels that showcase the RGB-lit internals. The build quality feels premium with excellent cable management and efficient airflow. Even under heavy loads, the system stays cool and quiet thanks to its RGB tower air cooler and optimized fan placement. Ease of Use Setting up the PC is straightforward—it comes pre-assembled with Windows 11 Home installed. The included RGB gaming keyboard and mouse are functional for beginners but may eventually warrant an upgrade for competitive gaming. Personal Experience After using this PC for several months, I’ve been thoroughly impressed by its performance. Games like GTA V and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III run smoothly at high settings without any noticeable lag. The RTX 4060’s ray tracing capabilities bring stunning visuals to life in games like Hogwarts Legacy. Additionally, the system handles productivity tasks like video editing in Adobe Premiere Pro efficiently. One minor drawback I noticed is that the fans can get slightly noisy during extended gaming sessions. However, this is a small trade-off considering the excellent cooling performance. Value for Money Priced around $950-$1,099 depending on sales, this PC offers outstanding value compared to more expensive setups with similar specifications. It’s ideal for gamers transitioning from consoles or older PCs who want high performance without overspending. Pros • Excellent gaming performance with RTX 4060 and Intel i5-14400F. • Fast DDR5 RAM and NVMe SSD. • Sleek design with customizable RGB lighting. • Easy setup with included peripherals. • Great value for money. Cons • Fans can be slightly noisy under load. • May require tweaking settings for ultra-high graphics in demanding games. In conclusion, the iBUYPOWER Scale Gaming Desktop is a fantastic mid-range option that combines power, aesthetics, and affordability. Whether you’re diving into AAA games or multitasking between creative applications, this PC delivers a versatile and reliable experience. Highly recommended for gamers looking to step up their setup!

    Solid Mid-Range Gaming PC That Delivers Great Perf

    I’ve been using the iBUYPOWER Scale Gaming Desktop for a couple of weeks now, and honestly, it’s a solid mid-range gaming PC for the price. The Intel Core i5-14400F paired with the RTX 4060 runs most modern games at high settings without breaking a sweat. Titles like Cyberpunk 2077, Warzone, and Valorant play smoothly with great frame rates. The 16GB DDR5 RAM is a nice touch – super fast, and multitasking is effortless. I can game, stream, and have a bunch of Chrome tabs open without any lag. The 1TB NVMe SSD gives me more than enough space for my games and loads everything crazy fast. The case looks sleek with its black finish and subtle RGB lighting – nothing too flashy, which I like. It’s also pretty quiet, even under load. Only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that the airflow could be slightly better. After long gaming sessions, the temps get a bit warm (not dangerous, just noticeable). I might add an extra fan down the line, but out of the box, it works great. If you’re looking for a plug-and-play gaming PC without the hassle of building one yourself, this is a great option. Perfect for mid to high-end gaming and even some light content creation. Would recommend!

    I’m really happy with this purchase! The iBUYPOWER gaming desktop performs great — the Intel i5-14400F and RTX 4060 combo runs all my games smoothly, even on high settings. It boots up fast thanks to the 1TB NVMe SSD, and the 16GB DDR5 RAM handles multitasking with no lag. The RGB lighting adds a nice touch to the setup, and everything was ready to go right out of the box. Pick-up at the Brooklyn Bay Pkwy store was quick and easy. Definitely recommend this PC for anyone looking for a solid gaming machine at a great price.

    Pc runs amazingly for fps games, even better for games focused on graphics more than gameplay. I bought it when it was Black Friday ($749.99), so it was definitely worth the amount I paid, but understand the original price tag. Very nice prebuilt-pc especially for new pc buyers. Highly recommend!

    Hassle free ordering and pick-up from Best Buy. Cool looking PC with RGB lighting. I was able to setup the PC without any issues. I was initially concerned about the fan noise based on the reviews but it’s actually pretty quiet for me given it has 5 fans on it. Overall quited pleased with my purchase.

    This was my first ever pc so i did a prebuild. I had done some research and waited for black friday to come around. I saved roughly 250 at the time and so glad i spent what I did. I have not had any issue with the keyboard or mouse included, and only thing i disliked about it was the single 16gb ram. That would be the only upgrade id recommend, is jump to 32gb but overall, great build. And to give more info on what games I play or used it for. I play alot of racing games (with a wheel), some in vr, I also play vrchat and go to in-game raves. Thats the only time i would have issues but itts common because its an unoptimized game and tempending what is shown or allowed, it can be heavy. Here i suffered alot from the limited 8gb vram on the gpu, but thats only during my vr games on medium to high resolution (my racing games were about mid resolution, usually would get less or no problems on there. CS 2, Perfect. No crashes and no problems. Rocket league, played with some detail, but mainly performance in mind, had to use a a 3rd party app but even with that running along with discord voice calls, no problems. This is honeslty a very good build for a start, I plan to upgrade my gpu down the road as for vr games, its demanding and uses alot of ram (i recently went up to 64 gb just because i had a cheap opportunity, vrchat still eats it up. Again, an unoptimized game). 9.5/10, first upgrade would be 32gb.

    I bought this PC it was great. Works well. I was unable to connect my Bluetooth devices so i called the ibuypower customer service number (888)462-3899. They were very helpful. So for those who had a similar issue feel free to call them or you can just go to device manager. Uninstall the Bluetooth adapter preinstalled on the device. Go to this website. https://us.msi.com/Motherboard/PRO-B760-VC-WIFI-HS-BULK/support#driver. Scroll down to LAN drivers and install the RealTk bluetooth drivers. Extract the file. Then open Realtek BT file. Underneath devcon there is install driver. Double Press and install the drivers. Then then off and on your PC and check device manager and expand Bluetooth to make sure it installed and after that. You should be able to connect your devices

    Just bought myself a prebuilt gaming computer from iBUYPOWER. It's a great computer with great components for a great deal compared to other sellers. It was the best deal when you compared them to other sellers who had last gen components at the same price. I got a core 15 14400 with a 4060. 16gb of ram and 1tb m.2 1tb ssd all for just below 1000 dollars. Truly Happy with my purchase

    This PC is awesome! Runs super smooth right out of the box, no issues at all. I’ve been playing games like Warzone, Fortnite, and five m on high settings and it handles them with no problem. Load times are super fast thanks to the SSD, and the RTX 4060 keeps the graphics looking clean. The RGB fans look sick and keep the system cool without getting too loud. For the price, you’re getting a lot of power and it’s perfect if you don’t feel like building your own. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a solid prebuilt gaming PC!

    Purchased to enhance my streaming and gaming capabilities. This computer handled it with ease! I upgraded the ram , adding 2 16GB sticks and still have room for an additional stick if needed. I’m able to play a game and stream to Twitch, TikTok , and another site all at the same time with this computer and the RAM upgrade.

    Now after owning this PC with no modifications done to it for couple of months, it has ran absolutely perfectly without a problem (and on going) i’ve been able to run up Warzone,Valorant, even clash royale without problem on High/ ultra settings, it’s perfect for multi tasking. Only downside is if you play a lot of games 1,000 GB will run out quick and will need an external, Either way. This PC is just perfect to me.
