    Great Prebuilt Gaming Desktop with a Few Issues

    I recently purchased the iBUYPOWER - Y40 314i Gaming Desktop, and I have to say that it's an overall pretty good machine. The Intel Core i9 13900KF processor and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti 12GB graphics card are both top-notch components that deliver fantastic performance in gaming and other demanding applications. However, it's worth noting that, in most situations, the i9 13900KF may not be able to reach its full potential due to thermal throttling. This won't be a problem for casual users, but enthusiasts might want to keep this in mind. One of the key advantages of this prebuilt system is its convenience for those who don't want to buy separate PC components and assemble them themselves. This takes away that hassle, offering an easy solution for gamers looking to dive right into their favorite titles. That being said, I did encounter a minor issue when I first unboxed the system: the backplate for the IOs was slightly bent. This was easy to fix (Taking the one included off and replacing it with my own), but it's something to look out for when you receive the machine. I can only assume this is due to shipping; and so your milage may vary. You may encounter worse issues, or none at all. I can't really blame iBUYPOWER here. (probably.) One critique I have is that the front IO is located at the BOTTOM of the case. This can be quite inconvenient, especially if you use wired audio devices, as it makes a port extender pretty much a necessity. On a positive note, the 32GB of memory runs at a good speed, and the 1TB NVMe SSD + 1TB HDD storage combo is a great solution for both fast performance and ample storage space. A standout feature of this desktop is the fantastic RGB lighting. The colors of the RAM and fans make it incredibly pleasing to look at; and combining this with the ability to create rules and profiles in the MSI center; a lot of customizability is allowed here. In summary, the iBUYPOWER - Y40 314i Gaming Desktop is a solid option for gamers who want a hassle-free, high-performance PC. However, most casual users may not fully utilize the system's capabilities, and there are a few minor quirks to be aware of. Despite these issues, the overall package remains a strong contender in the prebuilt gaming PC market.

    It ran beautifully untill it didn't. I went from some old hardware. I liked the sexy design and the noticeably faster pace. Unfortunately it kept freezing up on me and instead of ordering a new i traded for an Alienware a r16

    Great value, everything worked right out of the box. Heavily impressed. I used to build my own PCs, but no more. It’s a waste of time and money to do so now. Everything is silky smooth and quiet as well. As handled absolutely every thing I’ve thrown at it.

    Heard alot of negativity and bad reviews but i still bought the pc with the i9 and 4070 ti! It has so far after 1 day of use blown me away! Extremely fast processor and powerful graphics card! You get what toy paid for and i was a skeptic of the brand. For anyone that had issues in the past that truly sucks.

    Great pc, yes the price is a bit high but playing any game i want 4k ultra settings is a price im willing to pay. Mine came with the MSI PRO Z790-P WIFI motherboard. T-FORCE DDR5 Ram @5200 mhz. And a PNY 12 GB 4070ti so in all im happy with my build.

    This Gaming PC is way more than any beginner would need to get started. It is a great system to grow into without worrying about upgrading for several years. I am glad I did not buy a beginner’s Gaming PC that I would have to upgrade constantly. $$$$.

    I recently purchased the iBUYPOWER Y40 314i Gaming Desktop. It was very well packaged for transport and the out-of-the-box setup was a breeze. The visual design of the case and components have an attention to detail that's both surprising and very attractive. The initial boot up was smooth and effortless. In my experience, many PC reseller will put one or two really good components into a computer, but the rest are not so great. iBUYPOWER however made sure that all the components they used were quality ones. This was my first experience buying from them, but it definitely won't be my last. I'll be recommending them to others I know as well.

    250-300 FPS on warzone. I'd recommend upgraded the ram to 64GB of DDR5 so your loading response time keeps up with the power of this machine! Happy with my purchase!

    I use this machine for work, as well as, my hobbies and gaming. This machine handles it all without breaking a sweat. Only thing I would say could be better is the full 8 pin connection and longer cable for better power control between the power supply and the GPU vs the pig tail dual 4 pin “super” short cable it comes with. But unless you’re nit picking like me, its not even noticeable. Great machine would recommend when on sale.

    this is a unit, its fast, quiet, beautiful and capable of everything you're wondering it can do. Quality is poor simply because of this: My graphics card wasn't seated correctly when I unboxed it, (see image) looks like the plastic under that slot doesnt have anything under it to provide the solid piece of footing necessary to click it into place, kind of bummed about it, its working but not ideal for a $2k+ unit.

    I purchased this gaming desktop on Black Friday to replace my gaming laptop. It looks amazing! My only problem is that many games that easily ran on my MSI ge raider with a 3070 tends to lock up on this computer that has a 4070ti. I have had to hard reset this thing like 50 times already. It’s annoying. There has to be some settings to fix it. The temps are running normal so it’s not over heating. I will have to mess with the settings to see if it can fix the issue. If not then I may have to reach out to tech support.

    recently bought the iBUYPOWER Y40 gaming PC, and I must say it left a very good impression on me. As a gaming enthusiast, I always look for a balance between performance, aesthetics, and value, and the Y40 managed to deliver on all fronts. First of all the packaging was great. The support foam and the styrofoam inside the PC case were intact. The components are neatly arranged, and cable management is well-executed, contributing to a clean and organized interior. The heart of any gaming PC is its performance, and the iBUYPOWER Y40 didn't disappoint. Equipped with Intel Core i9 13900KF – 32GB Memory – NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti 12GB, this machine handled graphically demanding games with ease. The Y40 boasts a sleek and modern design that sets it apart from other gaming PCs in its class. The case is not only visually appealing but also functional, providing efficient cooling to keep the internal components at optimal temperatures. The RGB lighting adds a touch of customization, allowing users to personalize their gaming setup. Considering its performance and features, the iBUYPOWER Y40 provides excellent value for money. In conclusion, I would say the iBUYPOWER Y40 gaming PC is a commendable choice for gamers seeking a well-rounded and high-performing system.

    Its a pretty cool pc to upgrade to from a i7 7th gen and a gtx 1070. it came with a asrock z motherboard, zotac rtx4070 ti, and 2 sticks of neo forza ram. So the upgrade to was totally necessary. It was on sale too, so the buy was a absolute steal. As of using it for almost a month, I did come across a error while gaming on this beast. To anyone planning to purchase this Pre-built, do check to see if your motherboard is updated with the lasted update. I had to take such a long time just to find out why it keeps freezing up and crashing. I did think they sent me a broken system after a bunch of trial and error. After I updated my motherboard, the crashes and freeze disappeared. That is why it gets a 4/5 stars. You would think the builders would update everything before sending the pc out, but not in my case.
