    This PC is amazing, I just received it (2 day shipping) and I am absolutely in love with it. I bought the PC for my son, for gaming and it is the best choice that I made. It is super easy to set up too, took less than 5 minutes to set up. I love the matching light with the keyboard, mouse, and PC it literally lights up his room.

    The computer just arrived today, and besides being gorgeous, it is super fast and really quiet. The mouse is soft and comfortable. I totally recommend this product for an office.

    One of the best computers I've ever owned and the most visually interesting. The soft flow of lights brightening and dimming and changing colors is very soothing. Affordable, easy setup, it's essentially, plug and play. Will definitely buy again.

    Just bought this pc. I am pleasantly surprised by specs, and quality. This pc is very simple to set up, plug and play! This prebuilt is 100% worth it's price and much more. Plus, it comes with a membrane gaming keyboard and a sick mouse!

    So far, I love my system and haven't noticed any performance issues. This is my first gaming PC, and honestly, my first tower since 2002 as I've gamed primarily on consoles. I did bring someone with me who does regularly game to help find something that would suit me. I did install another SSD, and the only trouble I had was the power cable was too short to hook up another one while also properly mounting the SSD anywhere, so I did get some help from a friend. I havent had any issues out if the box thankfully, but it does look like the packing on my system was a bit rushed. I had stickers on the case to remove the inner protective foam that would protect the parts from moving/breaking, but mine had nothing inside. I did go to the ibuypower youtube to figure out opening my case, and the intro for opening your computer references a sheet that is attached to the computer, but mine was also lacking any reference. The IO shield/backplate also seems to have some of the little metal bits covering/pushed inside the usb slots, so i had to clean those out. Also, one of the screws holding the case panel was screwed in awkwardly as theres an extreme amount of resistance trying to screw/unscrew as it looks like it make have been put on tighly while uneven. Again though, as I haven't had to rely on a tower in such a long time, I don't have enough experience on the hardware side of things to know if the complaints are valid or not. I would recommend this system, as I know there some costs right now that kind of force us to go prebuilt, and it does the job. I thought RGB would be silly, but I do enjoy messing with the colors and themes more than I should. Some games that Id play on PS4, load and look so much better on this, to where I'm no longer worrying about playing on my consoles anymore.

    Detailed review for anyone thinking about buying c

    Please understand that this rating and review is based off FACE VALUE; for i am not experienced in PC software and equipment, but I am learning and will update this review as i learn more. So as someone who has played console most of my life, I wanted a gaming computer to open up more possibilities as far as gaming and streaming. With the approval of my significant other to purchase this machine, I recieved it days later via UPS. Upon receiving and unboxing, I noticed the box itself was a little beat up, no big deal, I understand shipping can be rough. Unboxing i saw that the tower is held by 2 styrofoam place holders on both sides of the tower along with a sturdy box that contained the KB&M. Taking the tower out, it was very clean, the tempered glass has a protective peel and the glass was still intact after removal. I opened up the glass panel to have a look inside and everything looked normal, after closer inspection, the board was secured, the graphics card was secured and stable, the cables were organized, and the mounted fan on the processor was securely in place. The only thing that dissapointed me was that there was no protective packaging inside the unit to help protect the compnents during shipping. If im paying 1,500 dollars, I would want to make darn sure that everything stays intact and nothing would get damaged or loosened during the shipping process. Take a little more time to make sure your product is protected, Please comment if you've recieved this product with broken parts because there was no shipping packaging inside the computer. This will take 1 star Onto the bootup and performance. Upon booting th system up, ALL the RBG fans started up and displayed color (this is good). After the initial setup and configuration the PC booted up just fine and took less than 10 minutes (experiences may differ from different people due to configuration experiences) I performed a restart to see how long it takes the PC to reboot, this process took less than 30 seconds. I checked the hardware to make sure everything was what the website said it was, and everything checked out. I checked the temperatures after 15 minutes of running and the temperatures satyed at a constant 30-32°C Performance wise, this computer CAN ABSOLUTELY handle gaming. Ive had no problems at all with running games. In fact i am a part time streamer and use streamlabs, and the computer CAN handle running a streaming program and gaming program at the same time with VERY MINIMAL to absolutley no lag. This PC streams VERY well as well such as 4k videos on youtube and a variety of other streaming services (Netflix, Prime, Hulu) Ive owned this computer for a week so far and ive had no problems with it. The RBG Fans still work and everything still runs fast and smooth. I WOULD definitely recommend this computer to someone who is wanting to get started and pursue computers. An excellent starter computer Like I said earlier the only thing that dissapointed me was there was no packaging to help protect the CPU components, and if it wasn't for that, this computer would easily be a 5 star

    The PC works beautifully. It handles ARK: Survival Evolved just fine, and all my other games are nothing stress-wise compared to that. The RBG fans are a lovely touch. Keyboard is nice, and the keys have good feedback. My only complaint is that I wish the SSD was 1TB instead of 480GB, but I can swap that out myself. Overall, banger system and gets the job done so I can have fun!

    I just bought an ibuypower pc from best buy. Great price for value, and easy installation and set up. Windows is already installed, so you don't have to worry about that. If you had the money, I would recommend this pc to anyone. Also, the reason I find the prices so good is because of the severe GPU market, so a bundle like this is really the best choice for me right now.

    I'm very new to PCs and gaming, but I think this is a wonderful PC! It's my first one, and I have been wanting to buy one for awhile and finally settled on this one because it was the only one in my price range that was in stock. I was nervous because it was new and didn't have many reviews (at the time) but I'm very satisfied with it! I mostly got it for the purpose of easing the stress off my Macbook to have another computer with higher processing power, but I also purchased it so I can start playing games in my downtime. It runs very fast and smoothly, I haven't had any problems with the interface yet or figuring out the configurations (it's been set up for about a week). The RGB colors are vibrant, the fans run fairly well and aren't too loud, and the keyboard and mouse that came in the package are decent for being free additions. I've tested a couple games (nothing like Fortnite), but it seems to handle frame rates pretty well. Coming from a gaming newbie, I think this is a wonderful PC and I highly recommend it! If you're a pro I'm not sure if this is the one for you, but for the price and specs I think this is worth it.

    I’ve been using this computer for about a month now and it’s pretty great. It was easy to set up, just remember when you’re hooking up your monitors use the ports at the bottom of the tower not the upper ones haha. Overall, this PC is pretty solid for the price and for beginners. It doesn’t get overly loud and only gets a little loud when you play a high performance game, but everyday usage and what not won’t have that affect. It’s super easy to set up and easy to operate for beginners. I’d recommend it to anyone who wants a gaming PC, but is afraid to built their own.

    Decent system for moving from a laptop!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I made the move from a not-so-great Acer laptop to this powerhouse, and I do not regret a single thing! Components are easy to change out, air cooling is very optimal, and the RGB effects & the case itself is pleasing to the eye. Performance on the GTX 1660 Super & 11th generation i7 is quite decent for the price. Everything opens in a snap with the SSD & I have more storage for many documents & games with the secondary HDD. Ordering in-store in West Nyack, shipping was fast, and it arrived in very good condition, with no loose cables, parts, or broken components. Overall? If you're a first timer or just wanting a decent desktop, iBuyPower's systems are a really great way to start out.

    A great PC! Bought this to run some more sophisticated games that had higher requirements than my old PC. The graphics look great & I haven't found anything that won't run. It's also very nice for editing video with MovieStudio Platinum. The rainbow light-up fans, keyboard and mouse are fun. It is very large and heavy with tempered glass. You'll need a large sturdy desk & lots of space. It worked right away out of the box & set up was easy. This works for everything I had wanted it to do & I'm quite satisfied with the purchase.

    I did a lot of research since I'm not very tech-y and this was the desktop I settled on. It was around the same specs as NZXT but cheaper because i didn't need to get it shipped. I've just got it and so far it runs so great. The colors are pretty, set-up was straight-forward, and it's absolutely silent. I look forward to the future with this pc. If any problems come up, I'll update! Extremely happy with my purchase.
