Picked this up a week before Black Friday for $1949 and couldn't be happier. This build uses the Asus motherboard, AMD 7900X CPU, PNY RTX 5080, Crucial P3 Plus NVME 2TB, T-Force 32GB of RAM, AIO, Fans, and cases are their own brand. The PSU I can't tell which brand unless I open the back panel and remove it to access it.
The Good:
For the price of this computer, it is extremely fast and well worth the money. The CPU is last gen 7900X but compare to the similar 9900X current gen, it's not that much faster. Just a little bit more energy efficient. I mainly use this system for multitasking but also handles gaming very well. I have a 28" Samsung Odyssey G7 4K 144hz and the RTX 5080 handled 4K gaming with a breeze. I tested a few games' FPS at 4K High-Ultra settings. Back4Blood 144FPS, Apex Legends 144FPS, Counter-Strike 2 144FPS, Flight Simulator 2020 120-140FPS, Battlefield Redsec 144FPS with a small drop to 120-130 when running. CPU and GPU temps are good. You can hear the fan kicking in when working. Looking forward to conduct more test and posting on my YouTube channel. Lastly, the tempered glass panel on the side is very easy to open.
The Bad:
The fans could be a little loud but not that bad. If you have a surround sound, you most likely won't hear it. RAMS could be 64GB but given that the RAM prices are insane right now, the extra 2 open RAM slots are there for you to upgrade when RAM prices comes back down. The AIO water coolant tubes could be placed better instead of it hanging. Would like to know the PSU brand... I do have an extra eVGA 1000w Gold+ in the event this PSU fails on me. But for now, I won't mess with it.
Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase. The RTX 5080 alone is like $1000. The insane RAM prices right now makes this purchase worth it. If you were to price everything out and build it on your own, it might cost more than the $1949. I used to build my own computers but for this price, it saves me the time. If you're a competitive gamer, you will want the AMD X3D CPUs but if you're into multitasking like Premiere, Illustrator, After Effects, Maya, 3DS Max, OBS, Streaming, etc... then I highly recommend this.

Picked up this PC on sale for $1,949.99, and honestly, you get a lot for the money - especially for a prebuilt.
The components are solid across the board and offer plenty of future-proofing. It chews through heavy productivity tasks and handles 4K gaming without breaking a sweat.
The iBUYPOWER-branded Hyte Y40 case is a standout. It’s spacious, easy to work in, and shows off the components beautifully.
That said, it’s not perfect. The stock fans are extremely loud. I ended up replacing all the case fans, the AIO, and even the PSU with be quiet! components, and now the system is whisper-quiet.
The included keyboard and mouse feel cheap and don’t match the overall quality of the build, but they’re a nice bonus for anyone who doesn’t already have peripherals.
Overall, I’m very happy with this PC after the upgrades. I just wish iBUYPOWER would refine a few things so new owners don’t feel the need to replace parts right out of the box.

Amazing PC. The 7900x is a monster CPU 12 core 24 thread multitasking beast. Of course the 5080 the second most powerful consumer GPU on the market is insane as well. Everything came in perfect condition ran exactly as you'd expect. Only thing.. it's kind of a lottery on the actual components you get. I've seen some get much cheaper ram.. I've heard of others getting better than the 6000mhz cl36 I got as well. I ended up getting a OC Argb Pny 5080 which looks incredible side mounted but I've seen people get the nonargb version or a different model all together. So you can end up with an even better deal or more along the lines of the actual parts cost but otherwise I got this system about 700 to 1000 cheaper than ordering the parts by themselves and spending hours building it myself. Highly recommended you're not going to find a higher end PC for the price, period. The pictures I uploaded are the PC with some visual upgrades (lian li Argb power cables and an in computer screen for CPU and GPU monitoring) iBuyPower doesn't have the best reputation online but this has completely changed my personal opinion, they made such a great build at a great price.

Exceptional customer service and deep product knowledge. I was about to purchase an open-box Omen gaming PC when the sales tech introduced me to this incredible Y40 iBUYPOWER PC. He was entirely unpushy, simply presenting my options and encouraging me to take my time. His extensive knowledge about the product I was seeking made me feel like I was talking to a friend, not a salesperson. He proactively found a superior option than what was available on the shelf and secured credit approval in just 5 minutes. Although I had the cash, he recommended using credit to maximize my discount. The desktop is flawless, Nvidia AI-capable, and seamlessly integrates with Python on Linux in remarkable ways. Its intelligence allowed it to configure everything to my preferences automatically. Voice recognition is impressive, and the LLMs are even more extraordinary. It's as if I purchased cutting-edge technology rather than just a computer. It has handled all my tasks effortlessly and even inspired me. Its efficiency confirms this is my best buy yet!

I bought this computer when it was on sale for a good price. I havent had it long but, I love the speed it offers. There is no lag when trying to use design programs. I think the lights are a nice touch and being able to change them to fit your mood.

Fantatic PC, runs amazing. The only thing I'd suggest is getting the FanControl program. Most PCs come with the fans cranked up and loud, FamControl monitors the temperature and adjusta acordingly.

Great gaming computer. Perfect for the price. Loud AIO fans but overall great build. The tempered glass came with a deep scratch on it. But IBUYPOWER customer support was swift and sent a replacement without any questions asked.

Best gaming purchase I’ve made in years

I bought this thinking I’d probably end up tweaking things or dealing with something small. Didn’t happen. Plugged it in, logged in, and started gaming.
Fortnite was insanely smooth right away. Same with COD and Battlefield — everything cranked up, no stutters, no weird issues. It just runs. I didn’t have to mess with settings or worry about temps, and it stays way quieter than I expected even after long sessions.
Also worth saying: with how expensive NVIDIA cards and RAM are right now, building something comparable would cost way more (and take way more time). This ended up being the easier and cheaper option, which is not something I thought I’d say about a prebuilt.
If you’re on the fence and just want something that works and performs the way it should, this is a solid buy. No regrets at all.

This is a nice pc with decent parts. I had a few issues at first but i do like this pc and would recommend it to people if its on sale. Parts can be pricy. So its worth it when its on sale. Could use a better mother boards but most of these parts are pretty nice. Future proof how long you can use a pc for. This one will last a decade easy but minor parts will need to be replaced as they go out. also allow yourself to win the console wars and get a rig you wont need to replace every 4 or 5 years. Also the next console is a pc. Xbox conceaded. Not every game is perfect but you can get a pc running 1100 fps on fortite with 11 and you can get 350fps at 4k direct 12x with settings on max.

I been a laptop user for years and finally pulled the cord on a full blown PC!
I was recommended by my friend to shop through bestbuy and honestly really happy with his recommendation because this has been an amazing piece of tech that I wish I had sooner tbh :D
I can finally game and do stuff without lagging and experiencing gaming at a new level that my laptop couldn't do!
I'm very satisfied with my purchase and if I made a upgrade with my ram or something else PC related I'm going back and looking at bestbuy first!

Picked this PC up at a great price from Best Buy, and it's been an absolute game changer. Coming from consoles and gaming laptops, the performance difference is huge - everything runs fast, smooth, and quietly with zero issues. Build quality is solid, design looks great, and it handles multitasking and games effortlessly. Couldn't be happier with this upgrade. Highly recommend.

Powerful and well-built gaming PC. The RTX 5080 and Ryzen 9 7900X combo handles modern games effortlessly, and the 32GB DDR5 plus 2TB NVMe makes everything feel fast. The Y40 case looks great and keeps temperatures under control. Plug-and-play experience with no bloat issues. Great option if you want high-end performance without building yourself.

This Best Buy PC with the RTX 5080 and Ryzen 9 7900X is an amazing deal for $1,949. Performance is excellent for 1440p and 4K gaming, and everything runs fast and smooth right out of the box. For the price, it’s honestly better than building your own PC, since parts alone would cost much more. No hassle, no compatibility issues — just great performance for the money. Highly recommended.

This computer runs phenomenal. You can’t beat the price for how good this computer runs especially if you get it on sale. I will say that if you don’t have a good mouse already I would invest in one because the one that comes with it isn’t the best but it is doable.

Great parts offered for the price, especially in the current market. But the build quality is questionable in certian areas.
The headphone port bends easily when pluggin in an audio device. There a huge gaps where dust can get in. And the top vent is so open, it is very prone to someone accidentally putting. a water on top and spilling liquid in there. But overall, it is a good deal. This brand is not a scam like some people online say

The pc is high end and works perfectly. Once purchased please do research on what drives u need to update. Usually update your graphics card and the mother board. Asus is the mother board and GeForce the card
