    I new that this computer would be fast, but I didn't expect this speed. I cruise on my games at 121fps. The unit is very quiet. Startup is almost instantaneous. Great Deal.

    Got this for my son for his birthday. He loves it! It’s quiet and performance is great! Everything that he wants to play from Titan Fall 2 to Battlefield six runs very smoothly. I would highly recommend it.

    Rock Solid Rig, Rock Star Vid Card

    I bought one of the first PCs of this build when it came out, and my first PC directly shipped to me. When I was double checking the rig, everything was still tight, no play or movement in the RAM, video card...its pretty impressive. I've had it for about 2 months now, and have had zero temperature issues, and the improvements that Radeon have in the 9070XT make it a massive bargain compared to nVidea. I was a GeForce die hard, but I have zero regrets or doubts about Radeon and the 9070XT.

    Overall I would say this is a solid product for the price point, however there are certainly some things that I would change. What stand out by far the most is the PSU. It's no wonder they didn't provide anything but a vague description for it. It's made by Raidmax which is apparently known for it's inconsistent reliability and performance. They claim their systems are upgrade ready however this PSU is anything but upgrade ready with it's non modular setup, unreliable performance from an unreputable brand. Charge me extra just please put in a reputable brand PSU. So that was the first thing I would upgrade, and I did upgrade that first in my case. The main question that I would ask yourself when purchasing this rig is what resolution will you be gaming at. This computer actually comes with a decent GPU for its price point. ASRock is a reputable brand and even though it's only 8gb it's other specs make up for it. This will work great for a 1080 setup maybe even 1440 but not ultrawide like mine. That being said you can still play games at this resolution; just remember youll need a better CPU the higher the resolution is. THe motherboard is by ASUS and I would say its a quiet decent one after doing a bit of research. Also keep in mind that AMD GPUs lack the same technology grade as nvidia so don't sell youself short on your GPU options; I would gladly pay an extra 100 bucks to get a better quality GPU and PSU. You have to remember that at this price point IBUYPOWER has to make sacrifices. The motherboard is 200, the GPU is 300, and they have to make their money too. So to summarize, if your gaming at lower end resolutions this PC will work for you or maybe slightly older games but overall I'd sat this is certainly a decent quality GPU for the price point. Besides the power box the rest of the gear this rig comes with is quality from quality manufacturers like ASUS. I'd say where this computer stands out is its CPU which is quite decent. I love the RGB lights it comes with, and the see through glass it owesome. If it wasn't for the off brand PSU, I'd say go for it but during the short time I had the PSY i haven't had any issues with it, if you want to upgrade this computer in any way id say get a modular psu from reputable brand. If you cant save an extra 500 bucks id say go for it but if you can I would highly recommend save another 500 bucks so all your components are quality. Get at least a 5070 Nvidia card; and save yourself money later so you don't have to upgrade down the road. So there are my two cents.

    A Game-Changing Beast That Elevates Every Moment!

    I snagged the iBUYPOWER Slate 9 Gaming Desktop PC from Best Buy, and it’s been an absolute game-changer! Powered by the AMD Ryzen 7 9700X and AMD Radeon RX 9060XT 8GB, this rig handles everything I throw at it—AAA games, streaming, and even video editing—without breaking a sweat. The 32GB DDR5 RGB RAM makes multitasking seamless, and the 1TB NVMe SSD means I’m diving into games with lightning-fast load times. The sleek black design with vibrant RGB lighting transforms my setup into a visual masterpiece, and the included keyboard and mouse were a fantastic bonus. What really sets this PC apart is how effortlessly it blends power and style. I was up and running in minutes with Windows 11 pre-installed, and the cooling system keeps it whisper-quiet even during marathon gaming sessions. Best Buy’s seamless ordering process and fast delivery made this purchase a total win. This PC isn’t just hardware—it’s the heart of my gaming universe, and I’m beyond thrilled with my Best Buy experience!

    Great PC for the price. The GPU has kept up with everything I need. The drivers were easy to update and the 2 m.2 slots on the motherboard were a lifesaver. My only downside is that it only comes with a 1 TB SSD. I use a lot of storage so I found myself upgrading very shortly after getting one. Fans can be a little loud but with adjusting them using the presets in the GPU's app it has been no issue.

    The performance is great. I really like this computer. However I have had a few problems. On setup, the Windows install was corrupt and required a new Windows 11 installation. I contacted iBuy and they walked me through the process and indicated this is a common problem. Also, I have had a few times where the computer rebooted in the middle of a project.
