iBUYPOWER is excellent when it comes to creating Gaming PCs at a good price. Previously owned an iBUYPOWER PC for many years that worked great, and wanted to get another one. Went to my local Best Buy and the Trace MR Gaming Desktop (BB991R) caught my eye and I had to have it. I've been enjoying it ever since.
The i5-10040F processor and GTX 1650 Super card work really nice together. I really like the design of the case, with the 3 section glass on the front, and the black metal part of the case feels nice and sandblasted. RGB Fusion software allows custom RGB or HTML color codes. USB ports and headphone jack on the top at the front of the tower allow easy access for headphones or an external CD drive. Also has Bluetooth for wireless controller capability.
It is capable of playing games with Playstation 4 level graphics. I tested Final Fantasy XV Benchmark and got around 66 FPS average on 1920x1080 standard settings. Have not had any technical issues or blue screens, everything seems to be in working order. I was on a budget of $800 and I felt this was a great deal for the price.
I love it a lot and am glad I chose this PC, it hasn't let me down. If you're looking for a well-built, reliable gaming PC at a reasonable price, then buy you some power, iBUYPOWER.

For bang for your buck, this is a fantastic little PC, for entry level gaming as well as a base line for streaming. The 1650 Super does pack a punch and plays Esports games with pretty fantastic frames as long as settings are set correctly. Don't expect it to play triple A title games in max settings, it will play Call of Duty Warzone on low settings but maintain a solid 75FPS with a low 1% of about 69FPS. The fans are very quiet and I couldn't hear it ramp up to the 4.2GHz frequency while at a LAN party. The biggest downside is that it comes with 1 stick of RAM which should be upgraded to 2 sticks of RAM @ 3200MHz for optimal performance. If you want to do triple A title games I would sell the 1650 Super for at minimum a 1660 Super or better. That will set you back another $250 or more. But as it is, this is a FANTASTIC entry level pc and any grandma wanting their grand children to have don't have much to worry about.

Purchased this computer to replace my 10 year old Alienware Gaming Laptop. Setup was super easy, computer is fast, well built and super clean looking on my desk. It is a great addition to my work shop and for facilitating instruction to my students. There is a lot of bang for the buck. It will make a great starting point to start upgrading into a more powerful work station.

This pc is amazing!!! It came with windows installed and it took me 30 minutes to setup the entire thing. It runs games really well. The fans have an app built into the ox to customize color. It runs 300 FPS in fortnite creative on competitive settings. But it only runs 150 - 210 frames in an arena game. I love this computer and would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a prebuilt pc.

I was skeptical about the purchase of this for my son who’s now into gaming. He’s a tech savvy guy that wanted to start developing his own skills in making games. Read a ton of reviews, more bad ones than good ones, but for a beginner this is definitely worth the buy. Set up was very easy, no issues at all, will definitely have to get more storage and memory but from research it shouldn’t be too difficult to do. Love the lights! Quality and resolution is great so far! Hopefully everything else is on the “up and up”
For beginners this is definitely the way to go!

Great desktop computer. Purchase was not for gaming or even the speed however, I have started enjoying games since my purchase. I loved the value overall; price in comparison to the speed, capacity, the SSD and the HDD. For my money, it was the best deal all around. Since some use, I very much LOVE the speed of this system. There is an MMORPG game this is can not like a champ and I think the multiple fans with RGB looks awesome, especially at night. I hate 2 additional ram slots to upgrade to more ram but for how I run it, it works amazingly and sufficiently right out of the box.

This is the second IBuyPower system I have owned and am not sure what it would take to make me switch to a different brand. The configurations, clean installs, easy setup and lack of bloatware are very refreshing.
I have owned my current system about a month now and extremely satisfied with the stability and reliability. My configuration has a SSD for the primary drive and a hard drive for data. This is an ideal configuration and makes the system blazing fast for boot up.
Also, the neon fan lights make the system a family favorite!!!!

Awesome, but a few things

Overall this pc is a great bargain for its price (you definitely get what your paying for) as you get an excellent graphics card and CPU. On games like destiny 2 (on high settings) you will be getting around 130-140 fps which is excellent. Now there is a catch to buying this pc, the motherboard that comes with this pc is lackluster as it only supports slower ram speeds (from what I can see) it’s actually only around 85 dollars for that particular motherboard, the ram that comes with the pc is pretty slow in gaming terms as well. So I decided to upgrade my computer (if any of you were wondering if the pc is upgradeable the answer is yes it is) I took out the intel stock cooler and put in a 240 mm Corsair AIO cooler (another problem is that the case isn’t too big, so don’t expect to top mount an AIO unless you plan out the ram space perfectly. I recommend mounting it next to the front fans. I also put in 16 Gigs of 3200 Corsair ram (2 sticks) which replaced the 1 stick of slower generic ram that comes with your pc. And if you can I recommend getting a better motherboard.
Pluses- Very good GPU and CPU pairing (1080P high FPS on a plethora of games)
Case has great airflow
4 RGB fans included (120mm)
Negatives-
Stock cooler is all around not good enough for cooling the CPU (upgrading recommended)
Bad motherboard (upgrading recommended)
Cable management is not too good but there is a panel and shroud that hides all he wiring in the back (I still recommend organizing it)
The fans that come with your pc tend to be loud when you game for a long time, and the RGB programming doesn’t have a lot of options (Upgrading recommended) (120mm measurement)
I recommend this pc for newcomers, it’s good out of the box and it’ll still do great for you, I just recommend eventually trying to tweak it yourself.
My picture is the UPGRADED version, not out of the box

Had this computer for about a year, great PC for beginners. The computer runs most games decently well without any upgrades, but the RAM should be upgraded eventually. Double the RAM and you got yourself a great gaming PC!
Positives:
1.) PC has the option to be upgraded, if this is your first gaming computer I would recommended this one and as time goes buy slowly start upgrading its specs.
2.) specs are great for the price
3.) very easy to set up
4.) comes with mouse and keyboard (they aren’t that great though, pretty cheaply made).
5.) pretty lights
Negatives:
1.) the fan gets pretty loud after extended use
2.) RAM isn’t the best, without upgrading you will run into issues with multiple windows open (I can usually play a pretty high performance game and have discord in my second monitor, but that’s usually the limit before minor performance issues).
3.) the SSD is a great addition but the storage is lacking (240 GB) should probably upgrade for more storage.

Honestly this pc is amazing. The fact that it comes with a keyboard and a mouse in the box is a big plus. The mouse is comfy and light to hold and my hand doesn't get tired from it gripping it from playing games for hours on end. The mouse also cant die because it has a cord attached means you can use it for hours on end without having to stop because you have to charge your mouse. When the box says that the pcs lights are fully customizable, it means it. It offers a HUGE amount of options. Any color you can think of you can change. it also allows you to change the speed. This pc is hands down one of the best prebuilt you can get for your money. The keyboards keys are very good quality considering they came in box. Very light keys easy to press with little resistance. The pc can do any office work easily. It runs for hours and has no problems. The 8gb of ram allows me to run multiple applications without any problem. The one draw back I had was running harder games like Escape from Tarkov or call of duty cold is my ram wasn't large enough for it to run well even with lowest settings applied to the game so I will need a upgrade in ram SOON. I've had this pc for 5 months and its gathered some dust over time and I have notice its not hard to clean. The glass is easily removable and if you have a vacuum it will go away. I highly recommend this pc for any gamer and any body who is getting their first computer. If down the road you find out you need more ram its only 100 dollars more but 8 GB is enough!! VERY easy to set up, basically just plug it in and remove the tape!

This computer is great for the amount of money your paying , even tho it only has 8gb of RAM it’s a really smooth pc and it’s really easy to set it up honestly I would recommend this pc to any beginner , the RGB is amazing , it runs almost every single game at decent/above average FPS at low settings so if your thinking about buying a prebuilt right now this PC would be the right one to buy for this price.

Great PC for beginners, as it has a standard graphics card that can run games like Warzone and Minecraft smoothly and clearly. RAM is the biggest let down, so please invest in some rams, I bought a Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO as it had RGB and DDR4 to help run more background programs. I tried running discord and Minecraft and it could barely handle that, so RAM is a necessity. It will definitely need a better power supply as I still don't know what kind it is and am too afraid to ruin wiring if I take a look. The keyboard it comes with is pretty clicky so definitely invest in that. I can't even customize my color settings as there is only a small set that come preloaded onto my board. The RGB is okay but could use smoother lighting, as its often blinky and clunky, if you know what I mean. Overall, I love this computer and definitely plan on customizing it for a good while.
