Amazing system! Two things you should know:

1. This PC comes with 5200mt/s DDR5 RAM. 6000mt/s DDR5 RAM is far more ideal for the 9800x3d so I'd upgrade asap.
2. The PC also comes with a 750W power supply as other reviews have said. Plenty for the system, but keep that in mind if you want to upgrade the GPU a few years down the line, since it might not be enough for the highest end GPUs.
Other than that, you're getting one of the best CPU/GPU pairs you can get at this budget in 2025/2026. The prebuilt is very well built and came packaged well.

Impressive pre-built gaming machine!

Honestly, I'm pretty impressed with how premium this computer feels. Out of the box, this computer does exactly what I wanted it to do, and it does it very well. I can run my 1440p monitor and maintain 120+ FPS on many games with very high graphics requirements (in short.)
I have made my own computers now for the last 12 years, and when it comes to putting all of the right components, lighting, case fans... it can be pretty challenging to make it look and sound good! Now that I'm older, and consumer parts are becoming exponentially more expensive (Q4 2025 RAM prices are insane...) I figured that the best use of my money and time would be better put into something like a pre-built, as taboo as that may historically seem. Again, out of the box this computer makes me happy.
Cons? Very minor, if any: the power supply is only 750 watts. Perfectly capable for this configuration, but leaves zero room for upgrades in the future. RAM is on the slower side, but is still DDR5 and quite capable as-is. And, finally-- the tempered glass is a fingerprint magnet. But we all know that much I think.
The 9800X3D is so good for gaming, it is remarkable how consistent my framerates are now with the 3D v-cache. The 9070XT runs 50% faster than my old card and is incredibly quiet/cool. I haven't seen the GPU go beyond 70 C at 100% load. Demolishes any game I throw at it. The AiO on the CPU is capable, meaning it does its job. I can't say it's amazing because there is some very mild pump noise... it sounds about as loud as the case fans, but overall the system is quiet enough at idle that it's not an issue. The RGB set up is pretty seamless oddly enough! I installed SignalRGB and everything synced up nicely. RGB controllers used to be such a pain in my opinion, but this one is very much streamlined out of the box. Looks good!
Overall-- if you're debating this like I was for the sake of future value... Get this. It's all worth it.

Really solid gaming PC. For the price you can't go wrong with the specs that this PC comes with. I can run pretty much any modern title on Ultra settings at a buttery 165 fps. Would highly recommend. Really easy to set up as well, if that is a concern.

This PC is a MONSTER. I would have given it 5 stars. But as in other reviews some users got a black screen after a couple of sessions of gaming. I knew this going into the purchase.
It happened to me as well. So, I took it back to Best Buy and got a bigger PSU. Had another issue again with black screen or freezing.
Next, I reinstalled graphics drivers to a newer and optional version. It seems to be holding up fine at this time. I purchased this PC back in August and I am pleased. Of course, except the black screen issue but I hope I have it under control now.
I wish iBUYPOWER would install the bigger PSU from the get-go.

I bought this upgrding from a asus laptop with and i7 and a 4060, the difference is night and day between the two as thing thing runs my games smoothly at good frame rates. I did upgrade my aio for asthetic purposes and it preforms better than the included aio.Power supply is sufficient enought in its current state but not very future proof for stronger gpu’s, overall i would give it 4.5 /5 stars and would recommend this computer.

So far the pc has been absolutely solid. I play on 1440p and I haven’t had an issue yet on high/ultra settings for multiple games. The AMD software has been easy to use and understand, maiming tuning or just monitoring performance simple.
So far my only complaint is the lack of GPU support bracket. The RX9070 XT still isn’t a small GPU and should absolute have something to help keep from any sag and issues that could come from that in time.
Packaging was top notch, and everything was installed and connected as it should be.

This is a very good pre-built system. It came with ddr5 6000. It has a 750 watt power supply. Frame rate playing cod at 1440p high setting was 260fps average with 1% lows above 200fps. The case looks like cooling woild ve a issue however, temps are very good for both the cpu at under 50c during gaming and gpu at under 60c. Hot spot temps were within 15c of cores. Expo was already enabled and the system just worked. I recommend this to anyone not wanting to pay the crazy ram prices in late 2025 early 2025

I recently bought this computer, and I absolutely love it! It runs incredibly smooth and handles everything I need with ease. It’s such a big upgrade from my old computer - the speed, performance, and overall experience are on another level. I can multitask without any lag, and everything just feels faster and more efficient. The setup was simple, and it’s been a pleasure to use every day since. I’d highly recommend this computer to anyone looking for a reliable, powerful, and smooth-performing machine. I have also enjoyed the switch from a PS5 to this for my gaming needs.

I have been impressed with the pre built PC from iBuyPower. The value as of now is a lot better than building one from scratch. I added the same basic parts into a cart and came out at almost $1000 more than the pre built one. It runs quiet and is able to run some pretty intense games at great frame rates using a new LG 4k monitor. Unless something dissapoints me with it in the future I would buy again.

my sample was flawed

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
my sample had several issues i was not willing to put the time in to overcome.
1 - "driver timeouts", freezing, and hangs. at one point Windows 11 just disabled the video card entirely and i had to reenable it in Device Manger. ultimately i found a workaround which was to completely uninstall all Adrenalin software and drivers, run DDU to remove every software component of the display system, then reinstall the GPU driver, but NOT the Adrenalin software ("driver only" option in the Adrenaline installer). once i did this the machine was stable but ofc i no longer had access to the Adrenalin features. not great.
2 - RAM compatibility. i tried to upgrade the ram to some 6400 MHz CL32 that is on the mobo's QVL but i could not get it to POST. had to keep resetting the CMOS and dropping the speed.
3 - couldn't update the BIOS. when i try to update the BIOS it acts like it's going to work, i see the progress bar and get the power warning, then it just reboots twice and does nothing.
in the end it added up to too much extra work for something that should have been a turnkey

I'll keep it short and brief. Powerful system. Great CPU, great video card. But why the very base MSI motherboard with no heatsinks? I'm in Florida, and it gets hot here. So the motherboard in my system is the MSI Pro b650-VC. Now i have not had any issues or plan to overclock, but when you push the 2k mark, give us a decent motherboard. I would suggest the protection plan for it as well just incase.

It’s not the pc that’s in the picture but it looks better then the picture and its a Beast for the price but I had to do a little trouble shooting and the power supply that it comes with is only 750 watts and you can’t unplug the cables from the psu but besides that it’s really good

BEAST PREBUILT

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Buy it if you want a very strong prebuilt gaming PC right now, don’t want to build from scratch, and accept the usual trade-offs of prebuilt (slightly higher cost, less optimal parts in places).
Be cautious if you plan major upgrades later, want absolute best component set (might want faster RAM, higher PSU), or want to minimize cost as much as possible.
I’d rate it around 8.5/10 for its value in the current market: excellent specs, very good for gaming, some minor compromises.

Motherboard is PRIME B650M-A AX6 II and is decent enough. RAM was supposedly 5200 mhz screenshot shows differently. SSD is midrange and works. Added a second drive, Samsung 990. The tweaked BIOS would not recognize the second NVME drive. Flashed the BIOS everything popped up. Upgraded into a Thermaltake 300 case. (Second thing to void the warranty) Plays Diablo 4 on max setting without any issues. Would not buy again, but not unhappy about the purchase.
