Crashing when i run and newer or most demanding games. My previous computer with a 970, weaker processor, and overall slower computer could run some games better. Issue seems to be the graphics card. Thanks BestBuy

Not bad

Overpriced, but pretty solid so far. Building one would be much cheaper if you can find the parts.
I was experiencing crashes initially, ended up finding a profile was applied to the memory. I set everything to auto & let the mobo figure it out. No crashes after this change.
Ran CPU/GPU stress test for an hour, played BF2042 & left some steam downloads running overnight without any issues.
I’m giving this a 4 for initial crashes & the inflated price. For 2k the CPU should be unlocked, liquid instead of air & 32gb instead of 16, imo…
I also noticed they didn’t use any GPU mounting screws, this puts unnecessary stress on the pci express slot/gpu, be sure to check this & put those screws in.
Came with W11. Very easy to setup & update. Was able to game immediately after updating drivers & fixing memory config issue.
As long as things remain stable I’ll be happy. I’ve read about dying gpus, hopefully I got a good one.

I had to exchange 3 times, all 3 PCs had problems. First two were bad hardware, GPU in specific. The 3rd was problems with motherboard and RGBs. Nothing but hassle and problems from iBuyPower prebuilts.

CODE 43

I was so excited to use this PC and was completely disappointed. As soon as I get everything set up it shows code 43 on my graphics card. Brand new out of the box and its already having issues. I ordered a new one and I'm returning my first one. I just can't believe IBUYPOWER would send a messed up graphics card, I mean don't they at least test these PCs before shipping them. hopefully the second one won't be such a disappointment.

Was excited with the purchase. The motherboard and card where decent quality. However after restarting computer for first time, the PC refused to post. Finally got it to post and it BSOD. Couldn't reinstall or repair windows at all. Returned next day. Waste of time and effort.

Second computer in less than two weeks. Both 3070s have had code 43 on arrival. I will never buy another IBuyPower PC. Taking it back to best buy and getting my money back. Enough is enough.

Good PC, crap case, crap cpu cooler.

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Good overall quality. Runs like a beast. Case is very suffocating tho, whole front is a glass panel with no air flow, I popped that off. CPU thermals are trash, replaced that with a 240mm AIO liquid cooler and now it does not get hot at all. Overall for the money and parts is good, but case sucks for airflow and cpu cooling is horrible stock. Pop the glass panel off, and get a good cpu cooler and it’s a beast.

Great PC for a reasonable price in today's market

I got this PC about 3 weeks ago and I'm overall loving. I'm a pretty big power user: i game, use adobe and autodesk creative apps, complete schoolwork, and regularly leave high stress renders and simulations going while im out running errands, attending lectures, etc. I've had basically no issues whatsoever. Anyways, into the pros and cons:
Pros:
-Solid hardware: I received a PNY 3070, and while RGB is weak in it, it handles and OCs very well. Came with XPG RGB ram (better than I expected). i7-11700f runs great with hyper threading.
-Good looks: this is subjective, but I love the look of the case and RGB.
-Better MB than I expected: people have said it comes with a Gigabyte B560m-c board, which lacks a USB-C. I recieved a B560M DS3H which does have USB-C. DS3H also contains two m.2 slots to the c's one.
-No bloatware! Yippee!
Con's:
-Thermals: the case is pretty but terrible in the thermals department. My GPU stays around 50c but my CPU routinely reaches 90c during having rendering and gaming. Front panel is solid glass, side too. Top grill has no fans. I suggest swapping the stock cooler for an aio.
-Terrible RGB utility: Gigabyte, yall need a new utility. It doesn't eat your system resources but it does suck.
-F cpu instead of KF like similar PCs in price bracket.
Verdict:
Overall I would recommend the PC, especially since a 3070 will cost over half the price of this build at scalper prices.
Some more things about it:
F1 2019 runs at 130ish fps at ultra. Same with forza horizon 5. Halo infinite runs at high at well over 200+ fps. CS:GO is CS:GO. Don't even need to explain that one. Metro enhanced edition at max runs at 80 fps, though I think it's an issue with something I did. Seems others have gotten the fps higher. All at 1080p work Ray Tracing enabled when available and Nvidia studio drivers.

Do not recommend

So I recently bought my first computer and straight off the bat the gpu was broken. I went to best buy for a refund and I got another ibuypower which would be this one I loaded up games and had a problem running games on high performance and I kept crashing. For an example I would run fortnite at 120 frames and other games on low. So I assume I had a problem so I took it to Best Buy and my cpu ended up being broken so now it is currently in the process of getting fixed. From my experience and other best buy members the best pcs right now are Msi and asus.

After many reviews on computers I settled on this one. This one did not disappoint. I am impressed with the quietness of the computer. Setup was easy and I like the fact that I can turn off the lights on the fans. The only downside is I am not really crazy about the keyboard because the numbers are hard to see unless you have the lights on. But this is still a 5 star computer to me.
