Ive had this pc close to almost 2 months now and it runs great. I dont know why some people in the comments are having trouble running common games like fortnite but you have to update your drivers! It comes with software called Armory crate which updates the motherboard and other software and AMD Adrenalin which updates your gpu and cpu! Once everything is up to date you can easily run at high settings depending on the game! Ive played warthunder, Ark survival evolved, Apex legends, warzone, fortnite at high settings and the average fps would be around 80-120fps. Gpu temperatures stay constant at 60 to 65c. The thing I dislike about this pc is the fans, If you plan on upgrading id suggest replacing them, they arent that bad but theres more quality fans out there compared to ibuypower. Its cost isn't that bad, for its specs its decently good.

4.25 Stars because it's not perfect.... Bought this as a base PC with the idea of upgrading as time went on if my task demands increased. For the price to performance I couldn't say no when looking at the other options. This is a nice pick up for Architecture / Visualization individuals.

I bought this pc and downloaded only steam, discord, and spotify. I booted Counterstrike 2 and it told me to update drivers. I went to AMD driver software that came with the pc and updated the drivers to latest version. I tried playing "sons of the forest" and ive had one crash that black screened and after few minutes brought me back to destop. The crash error stated (amd driver timeout). I thought that since it was a one off thing that it should be fine, but im playing destiny 2 and the driver timeout crash has happened multiple times one of them i had to restart my computer from the golding the power button. Ive been googling amd driver timeout and it seems to be a long standing issue that amd hasnt fixed. My review is not indicative of everyones experience but please keep this in mind bedore buying. I never had these types of issues with my nvidia rtx 2070.

Less than 6 months old and fans are making loud noises. Also a hardware or graphics card issue with lagging while playing game. Of course Brst Buy will not honor the manufacturer 1 year warranty, so now I have to contact iBuyPower and handle it myself. I will never buy anything from Best Buy again. Just buy directly from the manufacturer and not Best Buy means they are no help unless you spend $180 per year for their total protection subscription.
