Great PC, Loud Fans

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.

Great Machine and Great Quality Build

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.

Got this on the Black Friday Deal... Super Fast system is running cool! Warzone and CoD 7 runs great! Destiny 2 runs the best too! Fans are loud but do drown out with Headphones.

I was able to snag it for $1950 on a black friday sale. No issues at all. Very powerful, but the fans are LOUD! I ordered some be quiet fans from Amazon for around 12$ a piece and replaced the fans, now the unit is quiet and powerful, and cheaper than any other 5080 desktop.

Issue with RAM right out of the box, there could be more underlying issues but I do not know since I cannot contact Best buy for issues and to send me other RAM sticks or the manufacturer. Been on hold for 50min on a monday and they have not sent me new RAM Sticks even after paying them a security deposit to do so.
