I want to start by saying this is an awesome pc. Great prebuilt for those looking to have a great gaming experience with great quality parts. Excluding the AIO, with a decent 3080 PNY GPU. Great ASUS motherboard, Intel cpu I7-12900KF and nicely looking tower. Poorly intake case design though. Good thing the towers front panel is easily removable when things are getting a little toasty internally. But a suggestion I might add. Be cautious of the AIO. Mine gave out after the 14 day return policy…20 days to be exact. Suddenly my CPU started to over heat. At the time I couldn’t figure out if it was a software of hardware issue. I bought Nautica’s thermal paste. Nothing. Replaced the integrated loading mechanism (ILM) nothing. Went into bios to disable overlocking, nothing. Until I noticed that when my PC ran ok. A odd sound came from above the radiator. Where the pump is actually located. So on the days my pc started to overheat. I went into bios and noticed the the motherboard wasn’t detecting the AIO pump plugged into the motherboards AIO header or CPU OPT FAN header causing the CPU to overheat. All the other fans were running good. Including the radiator fans on the AIO, but not the pump. Almost gave up as my first time experiencing something like this. But the love I have for my PC I couldn’t give up. Now cooling my PC is a 280mm Kraken X63. Which is an awesome looking and performing AIO. I can re enable Overclocking and with no overheating issues, and get back to gaming. Stay golden everyone and Game On.

Great PC Great VALUE!! I had purchased an ASUS gaming PC with the same specs, it ran loud as a jet, and as hot as the jet engine around 97c, and at 100c at times. This PC beats it hands down! it benchmarks higher due to running cooler and stable, it is silent even under load. Top tier build quality and parts to boot! If you're on the fence about this model well worth it!! I just cannot figure out how to control the RGB. LOL

Beast of a gaming PC

This PC has been a beast for me since I got it almost a year ago. I've upgraded the RAM to have 64GB (probably overkill by quite a bit but oh well) and I've also installed a 2TB SSD that's faster than the one included but the RTX 3080 has been great at running most games in the 40-80 FPS range (I game at 4K resolution sometimes). The case looks great and is surprisingly roomy. Airflow seems decent enough and the included AIO liquid cooler does a pretty good job of keeping temps down although I'm probably going to upgrade to a 360mm radiator model since the case specs say it should fit. The CPU has handled any and everything I've thrown at it so far and the price was absolutely great around cyber Monday. If you can pick this model up, or the newer equivalent, I say absolutely go for it.Nice job ibuypower!

I waited a little more than 2 weeks to post a review so I could get a feel for it and make sure there would be no problems. I gotta say I am very impressed with this PC. I obviously would build one myself if it was cheaper but to get a 3080 no way! Everything has been working flawless and I have played many heavy graphics games at 1080 on max everything and its overkill for 1080p 60hz, but that's what my monitor is for now. It will easily play games at 2k at 144hz. I will say 1tb is not nearly enough if you like to play a lot of games so I put a 2.5 inch SSD in it and the power cable for it in the back of the PC is right there accessible for you to grab. I also added another 16gb of Corsair 3200mhz ram and now its perfect. It also has a 750w psu so you may want to upgrade that but for 1080p 60hz im never using 100 percent of thr gpu. SOME ADVICE to those who are in the same boat as me. I came from a laptop that had a copy of windows 10 pre installed with it and my Microsoft account on it. When I went to add my account on this computer it was saying my copy of windows was invalid even though this computer comes with windows 11. What I learned was if you had an existing version of windows on another device it does not transfer over. So it was trying to use the old windows key from my laptop. What you have to do is go into the Windows settings in your account once you have everything set up on this PC and go to change Windows activation key, and then right click on the windows start button and go into Windows powershell and type in this: wmic path SoftwareLicensingService get OA3xOriginalProductKey and you get the product key for this PC. Copy and paste the key into the account settings and it will activate your windows. If this is your first pc and Microsoft account then you shouldn't have to worry about this. Overall amazing computer! It stays cool and the gpu never exceedes 70 degrees Celsius. I am very happy with my purchase!

Just got this beast of a prebuilt and so far so good. Starting pc was pretty easy and quick. I am happy with what i got so far. MSI z690 mobo, asus rog strix rtx 3080, wd black sn770 se 1tb ssd and tforce 3200mhz RAM which was a surprise because I have only seen people getting 3000mhz of ram from the reviews. You need to change xmp profile in BIOS to enable the 3200 because it was preset at 2400. I highly recommend this brand ibuypower. 2nd time i bought from them.

Very decent Pc with very good specs. If you want to game, edit, 3d render, work, sketch, this pc can handle pretty much anything just know that the cpu is known to get hot, and there is a chance the AIO will stop working so you will have to replace it I’m pretty 80% sure all units might’ve had to. Upgrades are easy to apply to this rig, I would also recommend removing the front panel for better air circulation or else it’ll most likely overheat. Not entirely sure what the case is for anyone else but in my area it gets pretty hot and humid, I just set a custom fan curve since it’s louder without the front panel. I upgraded the RAM with ease and the AIO and I’ve had no problems for 3 years of use I’m impressed. I would just replace that AIO if I were you there is no surprise with pre built and some kind of component issue. I’m happy with my purchase it was honestly exciting since I’ve always wanted a pc. I play valorant and marvel rivals and get a nice 200-300 when in valiant I’m sure you can achieve more I mean it’s a 3080! Can’t get much better with this price point. The pc is easily upgradable and LEDs are pretty noice, you can always place little figures inside for an aesthetic look and get good lighting. In short, I’m happy, I mean who doesn’t touch their components when they buy a new pc? It’s an unwritten rule and pretty fun if you really like pc gaming.

My decision to buy was it was the cheapest 3080 PC available compared to others with similar specs. I was really set on a PC with DTS X: Ultra, but the amount I saved on this can go towards upgrades, etc. A 3080 gaming pc for ~$1.5k is pretty unheard of during these times. I was worried that they would be skimping out on components, but I'm glad that wasn't the case. I looked up the prices of the brands of a few of the components that were used on this rig and thought I got a steal with what I paid for. It was a no brainer, just the uncertainty of a 1st time gaming PC buyer upgrading from a 6+ year low entry gaming laptop. I knew during the lockdown prices were so inflated that I waited it out until this season when things got cheaper.
I've had no major issues after owning it for a few days. I have it hooked up to a Samsung CRG9 49" monitor. I have yet to find the settings to consistently get 120 mhz, but the games I downloaded such as OW 2, Warzone 2.0, Halo MCC/Infinite can run smooth on high settings. 1TB is good enough for now and I may upgrade to 32 GB later on.
First time owning a PC this big and it looks better in person. I love the front of the case, very smooth/clean that you can see your reflection.
Fans are relatively quiet when idle/light use. Once I start gaming it does get louder, but not like a jet as what I've read on reviews of other brands. You'll hardly notice it with headphones on and game audio.
No regrets so far and quite enjoying its aesthetic design, performance capabilities, especially at this price point, saving for future upgrades.

I bought this system in November and I have nothing but good things to say about it. It runs smooth and looks great. The system came perfectly packaged and none of the connections were loose at all, which is surprising given that everything was preassembled. I didn't even need to upgrade to Windows 11 since it came preinstalled. My particular system came with an Asus ROG RTX 3800 and an Asus PRIME Z690-P WIFI D4 motherboard so that was a nice surprise. In terms on temperatures, the graphics and CPU have both stayed under 60C even when I'm running Warzone in Ultra settings for hours on end. I also have to commend the cable management job on this system. I really didn't expect to see such attention to detail. Overall, no complaints from this satisfied gamer.

Let me start by saying I am not an easy person to please when it comes to electronics. When you spend your hard earned cash, I am sure you want the best value your money can buy.
As many, I was also sceptical of pre-build gaming desktops because for the price they almost have to "cheat" on some components.
Now maybe I was lucky but mine came with an ASUS TUF Edition OC card, MSI motherboard, Samsung 980 PRO NVmE ssd and a XPG Spectrix RGB ram. This thing is a beast, anything I throw at it this PC just laugh on it.
DCS VR, ARMA 3 VR, MSFS2020 all on ultra settings gets above 70fps. The best thing is that GPU temp stays below 70c and CPU well below 60c. I took a picture because I tought my GPU was going to get a cold at 25c idle temperature with the room beeing 74F ambiant. I am more than satisfied with this purchase and thankful for IBUYPOWER to build a great mashine. I will however upgrade the cooling and power supply for longevity and stable power. Still I challange any builder to duplicate the same performance at this price.
Thank you BestBuy and thank you IBUYPOWER.

A really good quality system, and great at the price of $1,499 I got it for. Besides it being a little loud during heavy downloads and occasionally the RGB resetting, I've had no problems with it.
I was told the CPU might be a little weak, but if it is IDK what I'd need more power for. The system easily runs a game like Warframe at near max settings for a smooth 165fps. I love the GPU and the SSD has made my life so much easier. A great buy!

I purchased this in December 2022 so I have had it for a year now. I have had not a single performance issue or frame rate issue or anything of the sort. I play Overwatch 2 with max settings, Cities Skylines 1 and 2 with max settings, FiveM on GTA V, and so much more and they all run smooth as butter and fast. The setup was incredibly easy as someone who has never messed around with PCs. It was just plugging in a cable and removing protective styrofoam. Highly recommend.

One of the best purchases I've hobestly made in awhile. I was skeptical of buying a prebuilt. The prices nowadays to build your own are on the same level as just buying a prebuilt. I had a few grips with it but to be fair they were losted in the description. IE: parts like graphics card and ram being different depending on when parts are available. The only component that was sadly not as RGB as the others was the 3080 graphocs card from PNY. However, RGB is not necessarily the reason i bought this rig. The power of this thing is insane for the price. I added another 2 sticks of identical ram so it was up to 32 gigs. And yes this rig is water cooled which is a godsend for this price. This pc is quiet even when intensely straining it playing TearDown on max. Id say its more silent than the series x next to it. As a plus the keyboard it comes with is actually pretty decent. I already have a keyboard i want to use but if you dont hey thats a nice bonus, plus of course a mouse. In all I would recommend this highly.

Was scared to buy a prebuilt as my luck is sometimes bad with shipping but, this thing is a solid unit with a solid MSI Ventus x3 in it. It’s top 5 card model from the 16 or so (correct me if im wrong lol. The thermals are reading great, and tightening of all the screws for the components are torqued to spec. Overall really satisfied with the product for this price! This would be close to a 3k build a year ago.
{I did have some issues with the windows not being activated after desktop was set up, this did initially prompt me to believe that it was a used machine as window product keys are unique matches with motherboards. But upon further investigation of the parts they see brand new and function to spec.

After almost 9 months with my computer, I don’t have any complains, I use it as my gaming computer and it runs perfect. I mostly play warzone. It does not overheats, I haven’t have any issue yet. The only change I did so far was increasing the ram.
