iBUYPOWER Y40 Gaming Desktop is blowing my mind!

Just got the iBuyPower Y40 Gaming Desktop and it's blowing my mind! The speed is insane, thanks to that Intel Core i7-13700F processor. Seriously, I've been gaming like crazy and doing some video editing, and this thing just breezes through it all. Super impressed!
32GB of DDR5 RAM is more than enough for 99% of home gaming PCs. I'm usually the kind of person who has a million tabs open while gaming or working, and this desktop handles it like a champ. Plus, there’s the 2TB NVMe, which means everything loads super fast, and I still have tons of space left for all my stuff.
But the real MVP here is the video card: NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 4060 Ti 16GB. The graphics are just... chef's kiss. Games look gorgeous, and it’s also great for any graphics-heavy work. It’s a powerhouse, really.
Oh, and it's pretty! The LED lighting gives it such a cool look on my desk. It's not just for show, though – really useful in the dark when I'm plugging stuff in.
In short, the iBUYPOWER Y40 is a beast. Whether you're into gaming, creative stuff, or just want a powerful PC, this thing won't let you down. Best decision I made!

I looked around and finally came to a conclusion with IBuyPower Y40 IBP 4060TI 32 RAM with 2TB. I was on the fence with the 4070 but I believe they both work the same, so I went with the 4060TI. Luckily Best Buy had one, so I swooped in before it is gone. Set up was easy. It is beautiful and the color is wonderful. The fan is quiet, but it is my very first PC gaming. So, I would not know the difference until I get a newer one. The Tempered Glass inside had scratches but that doesn't bug me at all as long as I don't look at it. I believed the Foam scratched it when it was moving inside of it. Foam is pretty hard, so the direction was very useful when they told me to be very careful. Check inside to make sure things are still connected. Overall, I would give it a 9.5/10. It would be a 10/10 if the scratch wasn't there in the first place. In the photo if you look clearly, you can see the scratches from the inside of tempered glass.

I recently bought the iBUYPOWER Y40 Gaming Desktop, and the experience has been nothing short of wonderful. From the moment I powered it on, I was immersed in a world of seamless performance and stunning visuals.The Y40 doesn't just perform well; it also looks great while doing it. The sleek black design and customizable RGB lighting lend a futuristic vibe and the tempered glass side panel is more than just a window-it's a showcase for the powerful internals that fuel this PC. Even during extended gaming sessions, the cooling system maintained efficiency without breaking a sweat.
Kudos to Best Buy for providing a great experience. The knowledgeable and friendly staff helped guide me through the selection process, and their commitment to customer satisfaction was evident. Overall it is an excellent buy.

Just wow but in an amazing way. FIrst off, received this unit four days early which was a huge plus. It was so much larger than expected as well. Case is amazing, wiring is so neatly done, and the way it lights up is spectacular!. Speed. Not sure what to compare to but this is much faster then my Alienware i7 RX 3080 when it was new. Of course comparing laptops to desktops is unfair so that is where it ends. I wish I would have gotten the TB drives because I am already at 1 TB filled. So many games! This unit is quiet, very easy to set up, and the quality is outstanding.
Cons....yep I have two. The keyboard and mouse which come with it are okay if you don't have any. Keyboard keys sound springy and the mouse is very light/cheap feeling. Won't take away stars based on the "free" stuff, but you should invest in better if you plan on gaming.
DO NOT PUT IN BEDROOM! So if you are a light sleeper and prefer total darkness, do not put in your bedroom. This thing lights up my office like the fourth of July on Christmas eve! Love it but not for us in the bedroom lol.
Great value for the money.

I would 100% recommend this PC. It is an amazing PC and I could run over 700 FPS in creative mode in performance mode in Fortnite.  I have a 240 Hz monitor and I can run 360 FPS capped in creative. I also got 240 FPS in Battle Royale.  I would highly recommend this PC as it is a monster and it is insane for the price. The CPU is great especially since if you play Fortnite it is a CPU based game. Thanks for reading!

I am blown away by this PC. It is my first actual gaming PC and I am so happy I got it. The lady at the store I got it from was super helpful (seeing I am still slightly new to the PC gaming scene... well, on a gaming PC anyways). The colors are amazing and the air pushing from the machine is still cold after hours of use. I am looking forward to using this more and more as I finish getting all my games and programs installed.
I am looking to see how to make it a Umbreon (pokemon) themed build once I get the hang of the lighting and everything.

Title: A Quantum Leap in Gaming: iBUYPOWER Desktop with RTX 4060 Ti and i7 Delivers Unparalleled Performance
I recently upgraded my gaming setup with the iBUYPOWER Desktop featuring the powerful NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti graphics card, an Intel i7 processor, and an impressive 240Hz screen. Coming from a decade-old PC with an RX 570, this new rig has completely transformed my gaming experience, allowing me to live my best gaming life.
First and foremost, the NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti graphics card is an absolute game-changer. The leap from my old RX 570 is like night and day. The ray-tracing capabilities and overall graphical performance are stunning, bringing my favorite games to life with breathtaking visuals. Whether it's exploring vast open worlds or engaging in intense multiplayer battles, the RTX 4060 Ti handles it all with ease.
The Intel i7 processor complements the graphics card perfectly, delivering exceptional speed and responsiveness. The improved multitasking capabilities are noticeable, and it effortlessly handles resource-intensive tasks, making every gaming session smooth and enjoyable. The overall system performance is incredibly fast, and I can feel the significant upgrade from my previous setup.
The 240Hz screen is a revelation for someone accustomed to a 60Hz display. The increased refresh rate results in buttery-smooth gameplay, enhancing my reaction time and overall gaming performance. Fast-paced games feel more immersive, and the increased fluidity is a game-changer for competitive gaming. The vibrant colors and sharp details on the screen contribute to a visually stunning experience.
The build quality of the iBUYPOWER desktop is top-notch. The sleek design, customizable RGB lighting, and efficient cooling system not only enhance the aesthetics but also ensure that the components run optimally even during extended gaming sessions. The attention to detail in the cable management and overall construction reflects the quality that iBUYPOWER is known for.
In conclusion, upgrading to the iBUYPOWER Desktop with the RTX 4060 Ti and i7 processor has been a monumental leap in my gaming journey. The improved graphics, processing power, and the high-refresh-rate screen have elevated my gaming experience to new heights. If you're looking to live your best gaming life, the iBUYPOWER desktop is a worthy investment that delivers on both performance and aesthetics.

I bought this PC because even though my previous one was only 4 years old it was quickly becoming obsolete. I had considered upgrading the GPU and SSD but when I discovered that my old CPU wasn't supported by Windows 11, I knew it was time for a complete upgrade.
This machine is great especially for the price. It comes with high end features and can play Modern Warfare III on the highest settings at very high frame rates. I've seen in game frame rates as high as 200 fps but it averages around 130 to 150. The lights and fans give it a really fancy look. It is super responsive and even though I haven't really put it through its paces yet everything is going great.
One thing to note is that the case was much bigger than my last one it barely fits into the space designed to hold it on my desk, however after talking with my gamer friends I've been advised that space is the last place I should be putting it due to the risk of over heating. They are right. My GPU is getting up to 80 degrees while playing MWIII. I will move the computer and update when I get a chance.
Also I love the keyboard it comes with. I'm not sure if its a mechanical keyboard but it was an upgrade to the 15year old one I was using before.

Bought the Y40 Gaming Desktop over cyber Monday. Shipping was fast and it arrived in great condition. After doing the first time setup and starting to install programs, the computer restarted on me and when it came back on I had a black screen with no desktop. I could see my cursor and task manager and run programs, but I couldn't see the desktop or toolbar. I called the IBUYPOWER help desk and they were very helpful but they don't handle Windows issues so they just had me reinstall Windows. I think it was an issue with importing preferences from another PC, so the next time I started fresh and it has worked perfectly since. I would definitely but this PC again.

This computer was primarily for running microsoft flight sim with VR quest 3. I cannot run everything on high or ultra settings but its a step up from my laptop. Computer setup was easy and overall this is a good unit. I might be able to run higher settings with faster internet. Overall satisfied with the purchase.

This thing is a beast. Comes with all the specs you need to run most of not all games comfortably, and the only upgrade I can think of is more ram, but 32gb is absolutely fine for most. Highly recommend for the price Bestbuy is selling it for!

Would have given 5 stars but the first one had a bad video card and it was Christmas so we had to wait to exchange it. This one runs flawlessly. I’ve maxed out the graphics on everything I play and it doesn’t even stutter. Very pleased!
