I’ll start out by saying this is a very good pc, it’s fast and reliable. Would recommend for a beginner pc player. The 10700 is a really good processor I upgraded to liquid cooling, another tb ssd, and 32 on the ram and I can’t use it all because the motherboard is a cheap one the graphics card does get a little warm but nothing too concerning. Get around 100 FPS on a 144hz monitor good starter pc and honestly a amazing deal for the price and you can upgrade later just plan on a better motherboard if your going to do big upgrades I know I’ll upgrade motherboard in the future when I upgrade graphics card.

1st PC I've ever bought for myself. After talking to many PC gamers, it came down to guy that worked the floor. He knew what he was talking about and figured out what I wanted out of my PC, what games ide be playing, all of the above. He went above and beyond for me and I really appreciated it. He figured that for the price of this pre-build, it's the best bang for your buck and perfect for someone that's just getting into PC gaming. Ice got to say man, every review I've read about this particular rig isn't wrong. I've had her know for about 2 weeks and I couldn't be more happy. This thing just runs. The temperature never exceeds 64 degrees and that's not because of restrictions either.... **Achhemm*** yes I over locked it just a tiny bit just to see how she runs and shes rip for it. Of course I don't have an aggressive clock though because I want her to last. My question to anyone is, to the others that have gotten this particular rig and have overclocks, what is yours running at?
Safe overclock tune
Core clock: 130
Memory clock: 500
It will take more memory over clock but it's pointless because your already at maximum for what the limits are (I'm new to all of this so I know there's alot I'm not understanding but I'm trying to play it safe for that reason).
The core clock will take 135 but if you do 140 it won't. So just to play it safe 130 is pretty much max for the core.
If your new to PC Gaming like me, these are applications I suggest you download. There primarily for getting the most out of what you paid for, so just consider it a friendly gesture from one person out about $1000 to the next ;) make sure to do your research though before you even think about overclocking, and make sure to read your warranty guidelines so you know what your getting yourself into in case you blow up your mo'm's basement. :'D

a good deal for a fantastic & lightning-fast PC

This is the best gaming PC I've ever had. It has a beautiful design & very fantastic performance at a very affordable price. It runs so quiet & lightning-fast, which saves me a lot of time doing my work and other daily tasks.
The keyboard and mouse are very nice too. The only down point is that the keyboard can not change light colors, but it's good for typing.
I'm not a heavy gamer, so I can't comment about the FPS things but many other buyers did verify & confirm its capability to run most of games at high/max setting without major issues.
Additionally, this PC also has built-in Bluetooth after you run all Window updates even though Bluetooth is not mentioned in the SPEC.
I can say I love everything about this cool PC.
Many people ask how to change the fan color. It's very easy to do so.
1/ Google this phrase "MSI dragon center mystic light", click on the 1st result to go to the download page, download the app called Dragon Center, reboot your PC, and run the app as administrator to finish installing it.
2/ Select Mystic Light to change fan colors. If Mystic Light is not there, run Live Updates on Dragon Center to download & install Mystic Light feature.
Good luck and enjoy the colors.

I've had this PC for about a week now and I have to say it's very good for it's price. I really like the RGB lighting and it's design. It's been running smoothly on max graphics for GTA IV and Euro Truck Simulator 2 giving me an average of 70 FPS for GTA and 140 FPS for ETS2. The only problem I've had was that the windows wasn't activated after I've connected it to the internet saying that the product key is invalid. If you run into this problem, just click on troubleshoot button. Another worry I had was that couple of cables were disconnected even though the PC was working perfectly, so I've just left them alone. Mouse that came in with the PC is great but I haven't seen worse keyboard before. The buttons are really hard to press on.

Just got the PC yesterday, got it shipped to my local best buy. I gotta say, I'm absolutely impressed with the machine. As a game developer I use it for not only playing games but also creating them. The computer handles the unreal engine perfectly, quickly and smoothly. Been playing Warzone(90fps), Valorant(300-600fps) and Portal 2. All run amazing, 0 lag. Overall best value for your buck.

Pc has been great for me! Haven’t had any issues with it at all runs all the games I play and the editing software I use no issues at all. Love it and would buy again if I had to. First one I got was damaged during travel I took it back and got a new one the next day. Great experience over all.

This PC has been the one of the best investments period. I usually spend this much every time I have to buy a PC buy upgrading the VRAM card or something. That was years ago. It's lightyears ahead in comparison.
This PC is built of course for gaming and media in mind! Plenty of RAM, graphics, and processing power to play very demanding titles! All while looking so beautiful! Casing is excellent! Airflow is nicely handled thanks to its front design, vents, and fans of course!
I never expect such a decent keyboard and mouse too! I have one already but I still hooked this new one up and was great!
All in all, I couldn't be happier with my purchase! I still haven't even put it to some serious gaming yet! Been so impressed with all the bells and whistles I'm just having fun fine tuning this beast!
iBUYPOWER is the best I've ever bought from!

Very solid computer overall for my family. We used to have an OptiPlex 7010 for a long time now and we wanted to upgrade to a better computer that can help the family with their needs. This device can deliver great speeds, gaming, and its performance when it comes to anything including pictures and other heavy demanding items. Highly recommend this.

I bought this for my 12 year son for Christmas but I already set it up for him. The pc came well packaged to protect the outside but I had to open it up and put back in one of the drives as it had fallen out. Other than that, the PC is super fast! It literally restarts in 5 seconds! My son is new to the PC gaming world (until now he just used his Xbox) and he pretty much everyday says how wonderful it is. Now, if only that sentiments translated into him not leaving his trash all over and practicing proper hygiene that would be awesome!

Purchased over a year ago mainly for Photo/Video editing and this Rig handles my tasks like a pro. Never had a single issue with this in a whole year or usage. I recently started gaming more frequently 4-5 hours and I can game easily on 1080p without any lag at all. I upgraded the RAM 32GB and installed a coolmaster air cooler. I have zero regrets with this unit!

Ok I have to admit, I was a little behind almost 9 years due for an upgrade. I tried to run as long as i could on a 9 year old system - it held up but I think it is time for an upgrade.
Going from i5 from 9 years ago to i7 10th gen and with way nicer video card, etc .. WOW I'm glad i waited! The case is beautiful, pretty mesmerizing lights and colors, and boots up in less than a minute compared to 10x that before. Hopefully this will keep me entertained for another 9 years! haha!

I got a pre-built iBuyPower PC through BestBuy, and I absolutely love it so far. I'm pretty good with computers, but it was nice to just order up a pre-built with the specs I wanted and then pick it up at BestBuy a few days later. Considering the prices of lately due to COVID, iBuyPower has some really good deals compared to their competitors. Love it!

Had this guy for almost 2 weeks and I love, I originally designed one on the IBUYPOWER website but due to COVID the shipping was longer than I could afford to wait. Found this one on BestBuy and was just as great as the one I custom created. I love it came in two days. MSI + NVIDIA + Intel = top-end gaming computer

Great rig so far runs all my games flawlessly. Looks great too. Just going to do a couple upgrades I think it should have come with liquid cooler instead of air flow and more ram. But for the price a great pre built.

Once getting this computer home, I found that I could not get the video output on the DVI port to work, but HDMI seems to work just fine, so I've just gone to using that. I'm not sure if it's just something I did wrong or if its faulty in that part, but it's not that big of a deal to me. The computer runs great and I've been able to run all of my games that I normally play at max settings almost perfectly.

The design is pretty solid. So far, I haven't encountered any issues while playing or even while editing videos using this PC. The specs really matched with what was specified in the ads. My only concern is that, I was supposed to have a dual monitor set-up but there is only one HDMI port in the graphics card while the motherboard HDMI is disabled. I also thought there is going to be an option in the BIOS on how to enable the motherboard HDMI port but unfortunately, there is none.
All in all, I would say that this PC works great. It can reboot very fast and the internet connection is excellent.
