This is the best value PC I was able to find. I needed a new PC for school and work. I needed something powerful enough for CAD/BIM and occasional gaming. So afar so good.
I love how quiet this PC runs, I love that it doesn't have any bloatware! It's a clean windows experience and that is sooo nice to have!
I highly recommend. Possible improvements would be a better layout of the keyboard, the keys are a little too cramped together and IDK it's a little hard to get used to. But other than that the keyboard and mouse have a nice feel and construction material.

My Daughter asked for a gaming PC and i wasnt sure how to get one. Looked on Bestbuy and to my surprise they sold completed setups! Not only can she play games but she can also stream, create, browse, chat and many other things at the same time. Setup was quick and simple. There was no added effort on my part to install anything. The setup was literally complete from start up! I highly recommend this purchase. It looks great, it was easy to setup, it's fast and does everything i need it to.

It runs everything I have thrown at it so far gpu has yet to get over 80 degrees and runs all high end games at 60+ fps without gpu being overclocked. All in all i would definitely recommend this gaming pc to anyone looking into getting started it streams and plays smoothly. My only complaint would be with best buy I ordered it online an it was supposed to be ready for puck up in 1 hour and it took them well over 2 hours for it to be ready for me to pick it up. But the guy at the front was very nice and figured out what was going on with my order.

Good value gaming PC. If adding PCIe, HDs, or SSDs and things onto it it might be necessary to upgrade the PSU. The PSU died after a year and a half on the unit I purchased. I then purchased an 850 Watt PSU to replace the failed 600 Watt unit and had no further issues.

Unboxing was a joy & super easy setup with a simple instruction sheet. I purchased this for online gaming and has already proven its self the first night. I would suggest this setup to all my friends.

I was also able to do college Procter monitored testing, digital illustrating and some twitch streaming and it handled it with no problem.

While I was reluctant in the beginning, I've had a good experience with this computer so far. It runs quiet, it's fast, and I've been fortunate enough to not experience any of the issues that other people have ran into. I admit, I was leery. Very leery. The build itself looks nice, and clean - far more so than I was expecting it to. It was well packed in the box, and I didn't have any problems with loose cables or cards (though I was expecting to). I feel that with the current price of components this was a good value. I spent a lot of time comparing to other pre-builts, and even I do eventually have to upgrade the power supply, I still feel that the value is there.

I bought a gaming laptop from Best Buy one year ago. My initial intentions were to use it for games like Sea of Thieves, Fornite, The Sims 4, and some 3D game development. The laptop worked fine...until I decided to make the jump to streaming on twitch. After doing over 100 twitch streams, my laptop started to wear out. It would get really slow. A lot of basic things that I needed it to do, just couldn't handle the power.
I needed to upgrade. But to what?
iBuyPower was recommended to me by a few twitch streaming communities. I started my search here on Best Buy's website, and found this model. After a few months of reviews, I ultimately decided to bite the bullet and go for it.
This tower is amazing.
Fun fact. I haven't had a tower PC for quite some time. I've always used All in One's and Laptops. The move back to a tower has been quite the shift for me, and honestly, I love my iBuyPower machine. The fans inside are not loud, but quiet either. Just a gentle whirring. The performance of Windows 11 on this machine is fantastic. Very smooth. Booting from Sleep Mode is quick.
Games on this tower are great! I've played Sea of Thieves, Rocket League, The Sims 4, Nancy Drew, and so far they've all been really smooth. I prefer medium settings and the machine works very well with it.
Streaming games on twitch with this tower is also a breeze. Every stream so far has been a wonderful experience. I was able to plug in all my peripherals easily as well
Other notable mentions:
- Setting up the tower will take you about an hour. Make sure to read all the instructions CAREFULLY.
- Make sure to have some screwdrivers handy when opening the side casing.
- The side casing is made of glass, so be extra careful with it.
- I had to update windows several times after opening the product.
- The version of windows that came with this tower was an inactivated version. You can resolve this easily by going on google and searching "Windows Product Key missing ibuypower" and following the steps there. Unfortunately, this review won't let me post a url, but if you search something along those lines, you'll find steps to activate your version of windows.
- Make sure to update the drivers like the graphics card when you can.
Overall, if you're looking for a fast gaming rig that can play most games, then go for this! I use this for streaming games on Twitch and it does everything I need it to do and more. Thanks for reading!

Sleek, Powerful, and Expandable

This is my first gaming PC. I've always been a Mac user (and still am) but I needed to finally move on from my greatly upgraded 2010 Mac Pro with RX580 for my gaming needs. I could not be happier with my purchase!
This PC is perfect for 1080p gaming at the highest settings. The RX 6600 is probably twice as fast as my old RX 580.
It's also an extremely powerful all-around PC with plenty of RAM and a powerful i7 eight core CPU. The SSD is a 480gb WD Blue SN550 NVMe. The 1tb HDD is a Seagate barracuda.
I swapped the HDD out with a 2.5 1TB SSD and added an additional 2.5 1TB SSD, both from my old rig, and both in the case's two drive bay. There is additional room to mount at least two or three more 2.5 SSDs in the case as well as an additional M.2 slot on the ASRock B560m-c motherboard. There are also three free PCIe slots and two free RAM slots, so the machine can be highly expanded and upgraded down the road. So far the 600watt power supply is fine and has plenty of power cables included for expansion.
The case is super sleek, yet heavy duty, totally made of tempered glass and black metal; no cheap plastic. And the whole thing is suprisingly quiet with the fans really only being noticeable when the GPU is under load.
I highly reccomend this PC! It's a great price and should be more than powerful enough for many years to come, especially since it's so easy to upgrade its components if needed.
