9/4 Bruh the price dropped another $100, come on man. I have been bamboozled .
8/25 I bought this to upgrade from my little ASUS gaming laptop and the desktop was orignally $50 out of budget. Next day price dropped to $999. So here I am. I've giving this thing the full test. Pubg, Apex, Minecraft(UltraShaded/modded), GTA and Blackops have all been played on max setting without lag or
stutter. The mouse and keyboard that comes with this desktop aren't the greatest would liked have better RAM instead but oh well. I'll be sure to update this review if my opinion on this desktop changes but as of right now I am very satisfied.
BUY NOWCame ready to go and ready to rock
I haven't had a gaming rig in about 7 years since graduating college and I wanted to treat myself with this little guy. After enough research I decided that this was a fairly good deal, could handle pretty much anything you throw at in the realm of gaming, and multitask with the best of them.
I settled on this because quite honestly 1500 bucks is going to get you more, but, me personally, I dont need more. I'm okay with what this is and what it can do, and the fact that I ordered it on Monday (8/19) and it arrived today (8/21) midday means so much. If I had gone to the next tier down, say the 700-800 range I would be sacrificing either on the CPU or GPU and that was not my intent as "TREATING MAHSELF".
Anyways, super stoked to get ripping on this thing and give an updated review in a few months with some more gametime/processing time under my belt.
First time buying a gaming pc
It arrived well packaged with a box in a box and lots of padding. My only negative is from amazon and not the product or seller. Amazon's mailing lied about their delivery saying the post office attempted when in fact they did not and then saying we had to go and pick it up. We have the ring camera on our front door and no one arrived the entire day when it stated date of attempted delivery.
As for the computer itself, everything worked. The lights came on and were easy to adjust, there are 3 ports for monitors. I have two monitors set up and going to attach my tv next.
I'm an big fan of maple story 1 & 2 and this comp can handle it flawlessly, It is an upgrade from my other pc which does not have a dedicated graphics card to boost the game flow.
I do video and photo editing as well and the computer handles it nicely with 16gb of ram. I will be upgrading to 32gb soon. 4k footage has some trouble but I rarely do any 4k video editing.
Read other reviews about the keyboard and mouse and to my surprise it didn't look good but when I started using it, it worked great to my liking. The mouse is small but it fits nicely in my palm.
Its a good computer for those who aren't doing any heavy gaming.
Great gaming PC for the price.
Great product for the price. There are plenty of reviews here for arrival with loose screws/components and/or heat dissipation issues. I can say that mine arrived with everything tightened/seated properly, all power connections made securely and properly packaged within it's own box and the Amazon box. As for heat, after several hours of Destiny 2, Just Cause 4 and Sniper Elite 4 at max settings, the fans were running silently and there were no heat warnings. All in all, this is the second iBuyPower tower I've purchased and would definitely do so again.
Check the inside first before you plug it in.
This PC is perfect for gaming. I stream on twitch and normally play on PS4 but wanted to start doing both. It's pretty much plug and play minus a few customizations once Win 10 starts.
You HAVE to check that everything is plugged in inside, for those who gave it less than 4 stars, the PC is shipped and some things may come loose, that's common sense. I opened it and checked all the wires, the fan and RAM then plugged it in. There's projective plastic inside so you have to open it anyway. The top front light wasn't on when I plugged it in so I traced the wire back, it had fallen off, I plugged it in and it works. No bloatware just regular Win 10 programs that can easily be removed in settings > apps or in Powershell.
The only thing I found to be negative which is more weird was the instructions said it came with an RGB remote control but there wasn't. I checked with customer care and they said they no longer have remotes, just download the software, this is no big deal but I'd suggest not including that paper with the shipment. Other than that it's fine. I've had it since last Sunday and ran a nice high quality stream.
Amazing little machine
I was looking for a system to play games and do things in Adobe Creative Cloud and Autodesk programs. The system works beautifully for these needs. Their is plenty of additional slots for expansion and the case has so much room for activities! There was a minor issue with the operating system when it initially arrived, but the enclosed reset windows 10 flyer included with the rig makes resetting an ease. Doing this wiped out the drivers for the case, and I had to go to the ibuypower website and redownload RGB Software Polychrome RGB (instead of the Smart Lighting Driver). After that, the system was perfection. The way they have it set up works perfectly for my needs and the additional room will allow expansion! I have already recommended this system to several friends in need of a rebuild.
Great budget gaming rig
I bought this rig to replace my previous iBUYPOWER pc that I had for several years. The motherboard in my old rig got damaged during my last move, but prior to that it ran without any problems.
This pc runs silently and without any issues so far. The case is simple yet stylish and the tempered glass side looks really cool. The only issue that I have is that the blue and green controls for the rear fan LED's were accidentally swapped, so when I try to control all the leds at the same time the rear fan changes blue instead of green and vice versa. It can be individually controlled, so it's merely a slight inconvenience and falls well into the category of "first world problems".
Games run beautifully, currently playing Fallout 4 on max settings with multiple graphics enhancing mods. Getting a consistent 60fps.
Overall, a great rig. Will definitely buy from iBUYPOWER in the future.
Gets The Job Done
I knew what I was buying. I don't game too heavily, so it runs what games I do play insanely well, haven't tried anything too taxing on it yet. It came in fine, minus the shitty Prime driver who dropped it off at another apartments back door. Thank god I saw him dropping it off and knew it was mine. Awkward as hell getting it though. (I live on the second floor, he just dropped it off at the corner units back door for his own convenience) The back light doesn't light up, but all the front ones work and that fine with me. Wasn't too excited that the whole front had a glass panel as well, was thinking of installing an optical drive, but now I will need to just get a USB plug in one. But again, overall, came it great condition, and hits all my major check marks. For the money, it gets the job done.
