Disappointed first gaming of experience
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Initially I loved my pc, my first gaming pc ever previously a console player. When I received the pc immediately I noticed the quality control checklist wasn’t completed. I contacted ibuypower immediately and they asked if I noticed anything wrong, I explained I never owned a gaming pc before so I wouldn’t know I was setting it up following the limited instructions that came with it. My bios wasn’t updated and I couldn’t install anything, the drivers weren’t even installed and I didn’t know what this meant… fortunately my neighbor works in IT and was able to boot up the pc for me, I’ve only had it about 6 weeks now and after 30 min of gaming I get a crash with a message stating driver timeout failure and have been looking all over forums and internet to fix and have not been able to get and amd doesn’t respond to the report you file. I can’t even factory reboot the pc because I get an error message and clicking in the right mouse button my amd adrenaline is supposed to be able to be launched but it doesn’t even exist as an option on the pop up menu.

Never buying a pre built again
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Well I had no idea that my build could start having problems 1 month from buying. There were times when I was playing games that it froze and it shut down by itself. Around 5 days ago it froze again and it didn't shut itself off but i saw the CPU and dram lights were on the mobo. Meaning there was something going on with the ram/cpu. I tried just turning it off and on a couple times but it kept doing the same thing. I decided to take out the rams and test each stick.... I got the PC to work but I'm for sure not buying a pre built again. Returned it 2 days ago with the extended holiday return policy. I bought a pre built to save me the hassle of assembling 3 rd one on my own but it looks like they cheap out on the most needed parts.

False advertisment
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When i bought this pc it stated it had a 850w psu, turns out like orhers have stated, it has a 750w psu. Best Buy clearly went in and edited the spec sheet to now show 750w psu. But i have screen shots showing when i bought this pc 2 weeks ago, it stated it had an 850w psu. Called Best Buy and they said best they could do is 10% off on my next purchase lol.

Posted .Hello there!
We apologize for the confusion here. We recognize there was an error made in this product listing initially and that the PSU was intended as a 750 Watt, not an 850 Watt. However, a 750-Watt power supply is sufficient for this desktop and its PC components.
If you're ever experiencing PC issues relating to the power supply (or in general), please reach out to manufacturer support and they will assist quickly.

False advertising

Lotta Beast for Not a Lotta Bucks
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is an awesome system and was the most bang for your buck during the holiday sale. Both my adult kids systems were long in the tooth (I Built them 10+ years ago) and was looking to upgrade them both. I've always been a system builder, but I couldn't touch this system's price per spec price point. Normally I've been a Nvidia GPU guy for the last 15 years or so, but after doing my research, found the 9070XT got some good rep. They weren't wrong, this system is awesome, and I couldn't build an equivalent for even close to the price point (with ram prices, etc, I was pricing this out at at least 500-600 dollars more). The system arrived in great condition, was packed well, and was easy to get going. I did do the updates manually (Went to actual hardware manufacturer's (ASROCK, etc) to get latest drivers and updates. Anyways long story short, this thing screams, stays cool, is quiet, awesom RGB lighting (You can use the QR Code to get control apps that come with the box, you can also upgrade your ASROCK's light control, or HYTE Nexus Software (I think this is what the QR Code uses for the Hyte Android/iOS app, but I only loaded the desktop apps). NOte the ASROCK app (ASRRGBLED) that came pre-installed wasn't working for me initially, but updating the software (My motherboard is the ASRock B650M-CX R2.0, I used "Speccy" to lookup for sure) fixed this, but didn't realize that until after I had already loaded the Hyte Nexus software as well (Like i said, probably save yourself the headache just using he QR Code that came with it). Note that the ASRock software can't control the Keyboard/Mouse RGB(At least that I could tell) but the Hyte Nexus does just fine, so you might want to play with each to see which you like (Don't leave both running or they will give you unexpected results as they fight for control). I love the case design as well. Its toolless entry and easy to work in. Note I added 1 SSD (it has room for 2) and 1 3.5 HDD (it has room for 1, but I think it was supposed to come with a bracket for 3.5, but I had to just screw it straight to the inside of case. Looking online it looked like this was how most people did it, and so I'm not positive it ever came with a 3.5 bracket or not, but 1 person did make reference to having iBuyPower send them one, so its possible, but installing it to the case worked fine for me). Anyhow only recommendation is that it came with some serial ata cables but they all had a 90 degree connector on one end, and both the 2.5 bracket and the 3.5 hdd install location were not friendly to a right angle serial cable. I had plenty of straight cables lying around so no prob for me, but figured I'd share before someone gets it torn apart and figures this out the hardway. Anyhow I was very wary on a pre-built system, but this thing is a monster for the price, and after running both of them for over a month I have no regrets. My kids both love the systems for gaming and family!

Great pc, wish it had a better psu
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great pc, it can handle every game at max settings with no issue. The problem that lies in this computer is the power supply. It might work great for 1080p gaming, but once you switch to a higher res like 1440p or do anything to push the wattage too far you will get constant shutdowns. I recommend this if it’s on sale or cheaper than a build today because the spike in price. However if you do be ready to purchase a new power supply.

Will Need Upgrades
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It has ran everything fine for about a month now, I did have issues that I assume were PSU related - black screens, etc. I used MSI Afterburner to limit GPU power to 90% until I can upgrade. Have had no issues since. I do plan on upgrading the PSU and AIO at the very least. If RAM was more affordable I would swap for 6000. It is a great CPU and a great card, I got an ADATA Legend 860 Gen 4 SSD and it has name brand RAM. ASRock MOBO. So far, so goo

Good Computer
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Runs great and stays cool, does tend to get warm with higher requirement games such as Battlefield and FORZA however both run approx. 100-110fps on high and for Forza on ultra solid little stutter and on BF 6 it only has issues on ultra when entire structures collapse or battles become full of explosions to a chaotic degree. Pc also runs, Arc raiders very well and Warframe.

AMDs Best for Gaming
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the second iBUYPOWER prebuilt that I've purchased. The 9800X3D paired with the 9070 XT has been great at 1440p widescreen gaming. I thought my 2080 Ti was still competitive, but I couldn't be happier after finally upgrading. Another huge bonus is how much cooler this runs compared to older hardware. It's a difference you can feel in the room when gaming. I can't tell why previous reviews complained about the PSU when 750 is enough. While I think this would be rather easy to upgrade in the future, I don't recommend a prebuilt to anyone if that's their main concern. I prefer prebuilt because you plug it in, turn it on, download your programs, and go. If there are any issues early on, then you simply return it. There's also a warranty, but I've never had an issue with my first purchase which is still setup, and this has been great so far too. I've seen it go on sale at least three times now. Managed to grab it at $1750, but I think the first two reviews being low might have played a role in that lol. It's been marked down to $1800 twice. At the right price it's very hard to beat.

Superior performance per dollar spent!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.MSI Hardware, AMD Architecture, far under what I could build for. I haven't bought a prebuilt in over 10 years. It just didn't make sense...until this PC came along and suddenly it did. Their choices of hardware were very competitive, the X670E Motherboard, 32GB of DDR5 Ram (I think 5000MHz), the AMD 9070XT? All good stuff. I not only game, but I do complex data analyses using a variety of programs, which for one reason or another, rely heavily on L3 Cache. The 9800X3D processor has the most L3 Cache on the current market in my price rice, so this just made sense. Data imputation methods using R that used to take 10 minutes are done in a fraction of the time. Games that my older AMD build managed, but with difficulty, are a breeze. FPS, RTS, RPG, Sim Racing, Mil-Sims --- all well within the capabilities of this PC. Strongly recommend for the gamer/workstation folks looking for a high-performer PC with an excellent level of performance per dollar spent.
