First time purchasing a pre-build for myself, I always built my own in the past.
I am very happy with the product, and also the mouse and keyboard combo that came with the tower.
I would recommend this build to anyone.

I recently purchases another computer from this same company, I had bought another computer years ago, but it was becoming pretty slow and outdated - I encountered this one on discount and decided to purchase it, and I have no other words to say besides that it's great, I can run any game that I want to at good fps and good graphics as well as having different programs in the background running without any problems whatsoever.

I recently upgraded my computer from a second hand gaming PC. I researched between other Prebuilt companies and self built. I found it more economical to purchase what I wanted. I found the perfect match for what I wanted with an iBuypower build from Best Buy.
I purchased early and the PC went on sale. Best Buy honored their pricematch and refunded the difference. This is my first iBuypower PC and I am extremely impressed. I am using it to learn UE5 and other software and it is amazing so far. I will buy this brand again.

So I want to start off with everything came securely in the box no damages nothing. Every game u throw at it on low settings get 100plus fps from Fortnite,rust,Roblox,bo6 etc. one thing that im highly irritated about is that it says it comes with 3 free item's 1 being discord nitro,Xbox gamepass for 1 month. Go to log in and there direct instructions say to download Xbox app sign in and get the free one month well I never got that one month. seems also on there tutorial YouTube video they have others complaing about the same issue. Overall it’s a good and great pc I would recommend to my friends personally but don’t say it comes with free iteams and u don’t get those free iteams

It was launch day of Diablo 4, I had the game pre-installed and was looking to binge. My 3 year old PC died. Historically, I built from the most reasonable components but I have not been keeping up, and I wanted a new PC fast.
Tomshardwareguide is my go to review source and they said good things about the company and the model so I drove to Best Buy and it was in stock. That was 2 months ago and I am a happy customer.
The fans are pretty loud, not so much high decibels but an inconsistent hum that annoys me. Ok, the one small complaint out of the way, what I like...
Everything worked out of the box. The glass slid off very nicely, the instructions indicated a screw needed to be removed. I spent a wasted 2 minutes before I realized that part of the instructions were incorrect, otherwise perfect.
Install and updates took awhile, as to be expected. Everything downloaded and installed fast, but some game files were pretty massive. Very nice being to play on the highest settings with the only lag coming from the game, as there was a recent expansion release.
For work, I can run 3 monitors. I current have 2 27 inch monitors and they both run effortlessly for work and play. I do mostly data analyst, Power BI Queries, high volume data crunching. This can all run while the game is played.
Zero performance complaints, would recommend, would buy again. I did buy the extended warranty, but I hope I do not need it. Plenty of ports, great set up. It looks great but I have it hidden behind a desk.
I recently had some game network drops. I was aware it was the Game server, not my PC but I connected via Ethernet to see if it was an improvement over WIFI and both performed to max settings. I went back to the WIFI but the tests were nice to see. Super fast boot up too.

This computer has been absolutely awesome since I got it with zero issues. It can run just about any modern game with amazing graphics and I am thrilled with the performance. Ran great straight out of the box and has continued to do so. Would definitely recommend.

I switched from a very old laptop that couldnt even run Roblox on graphics 5 settings without going below 30fps, it only had 8gb of ram and was very hard to operate in general (that old laptop was very slow). But this PC, is truly awesome. I could run THREE games at once, with each having 100+ fps at their maximum settings (Minecraft with shaders, Roblox with shaders on max graphics, Beamng drive on ultra preset). It was very smooth, honestly amazing, and even though it felt somewhat out of place to be playing at such graphics, I got hang of it quickly. This purchase would be perfect if not for one slight issue: The PC would shut down/crash after a few days of use if I kept playing Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition with RTX shaders. The temperature of the GPU was only around 60-70C, which was very questionable. But what was actually very weird was that it did not crash while RTX shaders were running, it crashed AFTER I disabled the ray tracing shaders for minecraft. I do not know what the issue could be, but I think it was because of overheating since right after I crash, the screen flashes for a few seconds and then the PC’s fans spin like crazy and become very loud. I have to restart the PC in order to make it work again, but it would only work for about 30 minutes. But it does work if I give it some time to rest, so it’s probably a different part of the PC other than the gpu overheating (I can’t see the BSOD because my monitor says that the displayport was disconnected from an error). In any case, it works and is VERY powerful, and also cheap for such an amazing PC. I would recommend this to a friend, and even my family! Awesome PC and keyboard, although the mouse can’t drag click well enough. In conclusion, I would rate this product a 9.3/10, but it would be a 10/10 if the crashing didn’t happen.

Solid machine. Handles most of my games and workflow. The PC fans are a bit underwhelming; the machine has seen regular use since it was purchased in late 2024. However, the fans are beginning to stick. Also worth noting that the fans for the AIO cooler were installed in a push, rather than a pull. Moral of this story - give your a machine a once-over before firing it up if you're technically savvy.
4/5 - Worth recommending to a friend that's handy with computers.

I have owned this for 4 months now. I run triple screens and mainly use it for iRacing. I have recently installed flight simulator 24 and only played it a couple times and have had zero issues.
I run triple 32 inch monitors. For iRacing I run 7680x1440 and it runs very smooth with graphics set to high. I would definitely recommend.

This is an amazing PC. The colors are great and the graphics are great visually. I like the way the keyboard feels when I type. It does have a bit of a spring sound, however its not overbearing. Its very calming.

Just purchased my prebuilt iBuyPower Y40. It was packaged really well, and the set up was a breeze. I didn't have any loose ports, everything was packed snuggly internally, and there were plenty of accessories (cords). It even came with an iBuyPower chimera rgb keyboard and mouse. Fans are pretty quiet considering how many of them are running. I love that the glass panel can be removed with a simple snap feature instead of those tiny screws. There's also plenty of room for more upgrades.

I shopped for the best price, got the best rig

I purchased this system to replace my aging gaming laptop. I play anything from platformers all the way up to Cyberpunk 2077. My main purpose was to get heavy into DCS VR. I have a quest 3 and my 2070 super was not hacking it.
I shopped around and found this to be the best bang for the buck. The 4070 Super was nice because most other options just offered a 4070 regular, or, a 4060TI/Super.
Right out of the box this rig is going to smash AAA titles at 1080P and1440P at High and Ultra settings. When you start going into higher resolutions it starts to suffer, probably because of the lower VRAM. The RGB is a cool, if you're into that thing.
Keyboard and mouse are included, but if you are into any type of First Person game you are going to ditch both of them pretty quick for an upgrade.
Finally, DCS in VR. I run a Quest 3 at 72HZ, 1.3PD. DLSS4 with HUd exclusion. The quality is very good at what would be considered medium settings.
Great value for an all in one system.
Things I would upgrade first:
32GB more RAM
A faster SSD. The one included is clearly a value drive speed-wise.
