The PC works well, but the RAM has a different RGB color in lighter shades compared to the rest of the system. Darker RGB colors look fine.

Nice to look at, it’s exciting to open it up, set it up, get everything goin, set up was pretty easy, run into a few issues but that’s all compatibility of user things so no big deal, and part of the fun of having a nice pretty looking toy, but buyer beware of the details, pay attention to the details like you pay attention to all the pretty lights glowing behind that pretty glass, make sure you immediately set up, get things going quickly, test everything to make sure everything’s good, because if you don’t right away and find out something’s not right on day 16-30, make sure you keep that box and all the came with it, I had some issues with my purchase and it’s a main component that needs attention and unless you live next to a Best Buy or bought a expensive membership it might not be too easy or not to easy on your wallet to get it even looked at, now I’m sure it can be fixed because we all understand things don’t last forever, and considering higher end components things are understandable, but at the price you pay you’d think it would hold together for at least a month and if it didn’t that it would be taken cared of easily, considering the size and weight of this thing if it does break so quickly there should be a little customer support, I wish I had bought a stove or fridge, or I wonder if they tell you to carry that back and they’ll look at it, maybe if it were a small item, maybe if it were something that wasn’t in the thousands, now if I was a regular customer that walked into a Best Buy, bought item and rented a truck to drive it home, but I bought it online and shipped to me for a reason, because I physically can’t be one of those customers anymore and didn’t really want to mention that, but yes I can no longer physically do “normal” or everyday things that some maybe even big companies take for granted, and I don’t think I deserve a free lunch either, I paid for this thing online and had it delivered, I even had to wait a while after asking why it was going to take so long when it is showing it’s being shipped but only shipped from 6miles away, then after a little runaround it shows up much earlier by FedEx, all these little things do start to add up, and they are adding up to that it’s not about if the product I bought was 1-5 stars, because the product is the product and sometimes things arent right so they fix it, it’s becoming about who’s selling a product, this is day 30 of me having the product I bought from Best Buy and the bottom line is it don’t work and we’ll just have to see where it goes from here, maybe they will offer me more than a box to ship it somewhere that I have to pay for, we haven’t even gotten to if everything under warranty or anything like that yet, I hope Best Buy doesn’t start to sell cars, if it was a BMW people might buy them then be told they have to ship back to Europe to get it fixed, I’m going to check that I recommend item so more people get to see this, because if you recommend it gets more views, but I’m really only recommending it to someone if I don’t like them, and why did I have to remove all my emojis, I had some good ones along my review(rolling on the floor laughing emoji)—- this is for the picture, look at how big this thing is, that is a case of cup-o-noodles next to it, two guys came to deliver it and I’m supposed to bring it when it doesn’t work

Good value given recent ram prices. The build itself isn’t the best looking and the settings out of the box were not well configured. I had to change the bios and also the fan speeds but still glad I bought it.

Purchased new on sale from Best Buy. Price was good at 2,000 USD. Upon unpacking noticed a USB drive cover was laying the case jammed in a fan causing the fan to be unable to turn. Build quality was poor and slapped together. Once powered up I had issues with any web browsers like edge or chrome never loading. After spending a couple days with support we discovered my windows image was corrupt and needed to be reflashed. Ended up returning pc.

I bought this Y40 Pro specifically for its ease of installation. The parts that were to be screwed in were not and there were no loose in the box, it was packaged that way! My purchase was for a NEW PC I did not purchase a refurbished product.

Where do I even start? This thing is amazing and that is an understatement! Let’s start with the cons first
Cons - Loud
And that’s pretty much it, unless you consider 5200MHz for ram speed to be slow that con is up to you. I managed to get this for $1900 before tax with a certificate that I had, which for the overall prices of everything in the market right now was a absolute steal, I walked into the Best Buy where I got it from on 12/17/25 and I wasn’t sure what I was going to get but then I saw this and I couldn’t believe the price, the graphics card and the ram alone with the current market add up to $1900 so you pretty much are buying a GPU/Ram Bundle with a free computer, I have been enjoying this for the past month and it has been able to handle everything I throw at it with zero problems. I have not done many things to it besides adding a Gen 5 1TB SSD with 14,000 MB/s speeds, the stock 2TB SSD is solid and has speeds of 7,000 MB/s speeds. My monitor has a max hertz limit of 180 and every single game I have played easily stays at 180 FPS, when I turn VSync off the FPS goes even higher easily, on GTA 5 it ranges from 300-400 FPS on max ultra settings, Arma 3 which is a notoriously laggy game can pull off 100+ FPS with view distance set to max and every other setting on max, on Star Citizen which is a great but extremely unoptimized game becomes easily playable, stutters are very rare and on planets or cities where it is notoriously difficult to not lag such as Orison or Lorville even Area 18 the lowest FPS you will see is 30FPS and you will average 45-60FPS on Ultra max settings on everything, in space or on moons in general you’ll be pulling 120+ FPS easily and while in quantum drive 200+ FPS, the temperatures are good, when I allow the games to give me the max FPS possible temperatures never pass 85 degrees Celsius on either the GPU or CPU, for me since I have mine capped at 180 due to my 2k Monitor I never see temperatures over 60 degrees Celsius, streaming is easy, dual monitors is easy as well, it’s a big system, heavy and full of RGB that you can turn off which I have, I let only the GPU and Ram have their RGB on and everything else is turned off which in my opinion gives the PC the perfect balance and look, as I am writing this review the price is almost $2500, which if you try to find a way to build this for cheaper than that you will still struggle, this was a perfect and amazing deal at $1900 but $2500 is still a surprisingly good deal, Ram isn’t going down anytime soon and no there will not be a Ai Bubble crash tomorrow and if there is trust that they will be bailed out or purchased by massive companies with more money than most countries, so unless you want to wait potentially more than 2+ years for good prices this is the only other way that you can still grab something that is well worth the price

First time buying a prebuilt PC. I think this is a great deal given its graphics card and price. I did have an issue when trying to install/run games. Contacted the support team from iBUYPOWER and turns out it had defective RAMs... had to wait about 5 business days for them to ship me new ones. Since then the computer has been great. The built quality is pretty good, no issues with heat. The fan noise is.. acceptable, but I am sure you can tweak it if you like, but I wear headphones anyways. Its able to handle pretty much anything I threw at it without any drop in frame rate: Cyberpunk, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, Battlefield 6, COD etc.

This system absolutely delivers on performance. The Ryzen 9 7900X and RTX 5080 combo handles every game I throw at it with no issue, and it runs Stable Diffusion generations very fast. Out of the box, the GPU and RAM were stable, and for someone who just wants to plug it in and start gaming, it does exactly that. I bought it because I needed a system urgently and couldn't wait for parts to ship. That said, you are paying a premium for the convenience.
The 2TB NVMe drive sounds fine on paper, but in 2025 it fills up fast if you play modern games. A lot of games are 100 GB or more, and once you add other data, you run out of room quickly. I ended up upgrading the system to 8TB of storage. At least upgrading is not hard... there is another NVMe slot on the board, and the side plate supports two extra 2.5" drives or one 3.5" drive if you have the screws.
The 32GB of DDR5 RAM is enough for gaming and normal day-to-day use. If all you do is game, browse, and stream, you will probably never notice a problem. Where it starts to struggle is with heavier workloads like AI image or video generation. Larger models like Qwen Image or WAN pushed the system to its limits and ran into memory issues. I upgraded it to 192GB of DDR5, and the motherboard detected everything correctly on its own without needing to tweak the BIOS.
The networking is where things get annoying. The motherboard is advertised as having a 2.5 Gbps network port, but in reality it only supports 1 Gbps. That is on the board manufacturer, not iBUYPOWER, but it is still misleading if you have multi-gig internet and expect to use it. On top of that, the default network drivers were a mess. I had disconnects and slow speeds until I manually installed proper drivers. There was also a "gigabit lite" option enabled by default that capped speeds around 500 Mbps, which I had to turn off. In the end, I installed a separate 10 Gbps NIC to get the speeds I actually wanted.
Cable management is the worst part of this system. The visible side of the case looks clean and pretty, which is what most people will see. Underneath that, the cable job is a disaster. There were wires pushed directly into the bottom case fan, blocking it from spinning at all. That is the kind of thing that can burn out a fan or cause heating issues if you do not notice it. For a system at this price, that kind of sloppy wiring is not acceptable.
Overall, the system is powerful and works well if you want something you can use right away without building your own. Performance is not the problem here. The issues are behind the scenes; misleading network specs, broken default drivers, and very lazy cable management. If you are more advanced or picky about your hardware, expect to spend some time fixing what they rushed. If you just want high-end parts that turn on and run games, it will do that, but you are paying extra for the privilege.

The overall rig is great. It is a bit loud. It came with an older BIOS. Had to upgrade the BIOS. There is a utility that helped. I have tried to add more RAM, but it will not allow 64GB. No idea. I even bought 2 32 GB Corsair sticks and tried that. Still nothing. It might be something I am doing, but I have done this many times.

I’ve been building my own desktops for over 15 years but recent economic and market factors have increased the price of individual components. At $1950 this prebuilt desktop is specced much better than I could build for the same price. I had to upgrade to 64GB ram for development projects but the 32GB XPG 6000mhz it came with worked great for gaming. 4k on high settings and above are a breeze for the 7900x and 5080 combo. Mine came with a zotac 5080 oc and looks great mounted vertical in the case.
My only complaint are the stock fans. I’m waiting on IBP to warranty one of my AIO fans due to bad bearings. The intake and exhaust fans have a hum at idle but I fixed it by going into BIOS and changing fan 2 and 3 to smart curve, whisper quiet at idle now. The default was a static voltage. Fan 1 is my AIO pump so I left it as-is.

I was able to get some good gaming time over the holiday break and this PC is incredible. It does get loud with heavier loads, but it's certainly not a deal breaker (could be some bias as my last PC sounded like a harrier jet).
I purchased this on an impulse because I was looking to build my own and this had all the base parts I had on my build list at a discounted price.
This is the second PC that I have bought from iBuyPower. I am thoroughly impressed with the quality of their products.

With current RAM and SSD prices skyrocketing, this system is an incredible buy. I picked mine up on sale for around $2100 and trying to build out this system didn't even come close to that price.
So far, it's been a great system and runs quite and fast. One issue I had was the documentation that comes with the PC didn't match up to the actual system, so I had some struggles trying to figure out how to get the inner packing materials out of the interior of the system as I didn't want to break anything. I ended up having to unseat the GPU to get it out. Would've preferred some instructions that weren't generic and actually explained that part. After getting past that, setup was easy and everything went smoothly. I did run into an issue with the Bluetooth cutting in and out with my headphones when I put the system under my desk. Moving it out just a bit seems to have taken care of that. I replaced a 2019 system that had a 2080 Super GPU and this system runs circles around it. Very happy with the performance in ARC Raiders and other games I've tried with it. So smooth!! Would definitely recommend this system, but please send better documentation. Also some documentation on the case would be great! I'm not sure how to get into that bottom are for adding some hard drives yet and that would come in really handy!

This is a powerhouse designed for enthusiasts. Featuring the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 and AMD Ryzen 9 7900X, it delivers flawless 4K performance and high-refresh gaming. The panoramic glass chassis isn't just for show; it houses a robust liquid cooling system that keeps the hardware silent and stable.

A very powerful and well-put together computer. If you are looking for a plug and play, then this is perfect. I signed into Microsoft, downloaded steam, and began playing without issues.
However, welcoming you to the PC world (if this is your first time), expect hiccups (Prebuilt or Not). The first things I've noticed after using this PC are the extremely loud fans and the AIO periodically making a noise that sounded like a frog creaking. It's made my experience a bit less enjoyable these last few weeks I've had it. The fans themselves look a bit cheap.
All these are things that can have a work around. Troubleshooting will become your best friend and working with BIOS or fan tuning software will help. If not, the parts can always be replaced. In fact, I actually downloaded their software Hyte Nexus, and the fans seems to have quieted down significantly when browsing on my computer (haven't tested it while gaming).
Other than that, the experience has been great!

Very good pc, fans are way too loud though, will eventually swap out fans. No issues with anything else been playing games like Marvel Rivals, Oblivion remastered (frame generation on for that one) Gears of War, Clair Expedition 33 (frame generation), and playing bunch of ps2/ GameCube emulators. If I had to upgrade anything from this for later in the future it would be fans and maybe a ryzen 7 8500x3D
