Comment

Here are the general defects most people are experiencing and so did I. My advise is to save some money and get a better desktop and brand. The i7-8700K is almost the same price as the i7-7700K. Get it over the 7700K. It runs faster and at lower temperature. Pros: Nice processor (i7-7700K) Super quiet desktop Fast boot-up There are no bloatware installed Cons: 1) The wireless USB adapter is awful. When you open the glass panel, youll see how small it is. The download times and internet connections are terrible. To speed up the WiFi, remove USB adapter and place it outside one of the desktop USB ports. The glass and metal case interferes with the signal. It will definitely speed up by placing it outside. Try placing the USB in one of the 3.0 ports but it will not do much difference. 2) Both my USB 3.0 ports on the top are not working despite checking for software updates and hardware. 3) Besides the processor and graphic card, everything feels cheaply made. Would have been happy to pay more for better quality. 4) The mouse and keyboard are a joke. I dont even use them since I have better ones. Instead of giving away gimmick products, focus on the quality build of the desktop itself. I would rather not have the free stuff and have a better build any day. 5) The computer is installed with Windows 10 Home 64 bit. However the build comes with a Windows 10 Pro re-installation disc and a NVIDIA driver disc. What does not make sense is the fact the DVD/ Blu-ray player is not build-in to the desktop. How do you install anything with a disc when there is no disc player? You would need to plug in an external disc player. It would make more sense to provide a USB stick . 6) Be prepared for things to go wrong due to the cheap build. Despite all the software updates, hardware will be an issue. 7) If you are thinking of upgrading, good luck. With the current way it is build, there are hardly any space for adding more hard-drive, SSD or other components. 8) There are two USB 3.0 ports on the top-front of the desktop and thats it. Most of the USB ports are located at the back. Wish there are more port in the front. But I can deal with that, if only they work in the first place.

Received this PC yesterday. First Im going to start by saying this case is beautiful, the tempered glass sides show the clean wiring and components great. For the price of this I could not find anything with the same or similar specs for near the it. Most others had a lower end video card, no ssd, or less ram for similar cost. As much as I wanted liquid cooling it is easy to add at a later date however Im not sure I will need it. The pc runs cool while multitasking and gaming. Speaking of gaming, Im blow away by this PC. I immediately installed Star Citizen, Player Unknowns Battlegrounds, Wow, Battlefield 1, and Star Wars Battlefront. All games play on maxed out ultra settings flawless. Going from a 7 year old pc that wouldnt even load half of those games I am in awe. Well for the price paid, it was packaged well and arrived in great shape. Only "issue" was it initially wouldnt boot from the correct drive. This only required 30 seconds in BIOS to correct and Ive been up and running since. Most people say "build your own computer, you get more for the money". Im here to say that for the ease of this, warranty, and cost. That simply isnt ideal with iBuyPower. After I received my pc I went to pc part picker, build this exact pc with no case, mouse, or keyboard, and it came out to $1336.46. I dont know how they can make a profit. Thanks again!

Impressed with the Quality of the build. I was sceptical at first. with good reason. But my package arrived Fast and in near perfect condition. Not a single scratch or smudge. I got exactly what i ordered. Everything works flawlessly. Could certainly find a better rig out there. But for the price qnd what you get its a really good buy. Ive had it for a few days now and im still very happy. Ive only played dayz so far i put about 22 hours in the game over the weekend and it runs amqzing. max settings everything is set to max and not a single drop in frames or anything. solid 60 fps the whole time. keep in mind the games locked at 60fps so im almost certain it would be about double. All in all Great deal on a great product. Extreemly happy. Def recomend this machine for any gamer lookimg to get started on pc. Perfect rig to get started and A great rig to upgrade in the future.

This PC would be great if it did what it said. It is supposed to come ready to play with windows already installed. My pc game with this message being displayed even though I restarted it many times. This wouldn’t be a big problem as they do include 2 discs, one of them is the windows 10 64-bit disc. The only problem is this pc doesn’t have a disc reader. They included discs even though you can’t install what ever was on the discs because there is no disc reader. I don’t know how you would solve this problem as I cannot connect to the internet without an operating system. This problem needs to be fixed before I would recommend this product.

The pc wasn’t picking up hdmi signal, it didn’t come with a dvi port, after I turned it off and powered it back on once my mouse and keyboard weren’t lighting up so I’m guessing usbs weren’t working either. UPDATE: Re-Ordered the pc and hopefully this time it comes working fine.

Once I got my PC up and running, it ran great. Just had a few annoyances: * The WiFi dongle was unmarked, and the drivers to make it work were not pre-installed. I had to physically connect via an ethernet cable. The ibuypower driver website was also out of date, so had to google to find the right model. * There is an HDMI input slot near the top of the case, but that only renders from the weak onboard GPU, not the graphics card. At first I was really upset I was getting poor performance until I plugged my monitor into the GPU directly. * The system came with setup CDs, but no optical drive. I was able to get the GPU tuner online, but short of converting them into disc images on another system, there doesnt seem to be a way to make use of them directly. *The system also came with a remote to control the case lights, but as near as I can tell, the only lights for this system are ones for the front and rear fans, so the remote doesnt do anything. If you can see past these stumbling blocks, I think its a great value for the price.

System came with no drive active with OS. Had to go into the Bios on startup and change the drive boot order to the SSD drive that Windows 10 was installed on. A little disappointed that this was not configured prior to packaging. A reputable company should have better quality control. I have experience with thjs type of things, and knew what to do. Most consumers do not and would have been very frustrated if it had happened to them. Only 4 stars due to this issue.

So far the fastest computer Ive owned!! First after removing packaging I removed the Wi-Fi dongle from the inside and moved it to the outside usb. Multiple speed test say its working at over 100 Mbs. To be fair its only about a foot from my Wi-Fi router(didnt have extra Ethernet cable). So cant say about distance or through walls. Hooked it up direct to my Sony 4k TV and it fired right up using hdmi cable. Why a purchased, 2 years ago I bought an Asus A10 with 6g ram and a 1g video card and was fast for surfing the web watching movies and a few games. Recently I started doing 3d rendering. So in comparison. My first render on the Asus took 2 hrs 15 min. ibuypower took 1 min 15 sec, my second render took a little over an hour on Asus, Ibuy took 15 sec. It was amazing. Better than I had even hoped. It was even twice as fast as the persons computer that was doing rendering tutorials. The Asus has a bunch of bloatware that probably kills some speed. ibuypower has zero bloatware. (I hate Mcfee)! The case looks great and I like the adjustable lighting, However the rear fan and the front faceplate are red and can not adjust those colors but it doesnt seem to clash with any of the available interior lights. There is an available slot for and additional SSD drive and a hard drive. There is only 1 additional pci slot on the mother board. Looks like there is enough room for an additional GPU to crossfire or add a Wi-Fi card but not both or any additional expansion beyond that slot. It also has 2 more slots for additional RAM. The mouse seemed to be well made and just like any other mouse out there, however the keyboard seems to be on the cheaper side. All the keys seem to work but are a bit wobbly. Also the Ibuypower logo on both are always lite, even with the computer off. No big deal I am planning on going wireless at somepoint. So there are a few questionable things but the speed and power I was hoping for and what I got far out weighs the downside and can not deduct any stars. Maybe half star if any. I am ready to be home and making renders! Dang work always getting in the way:) Definitely Recommend if youre looking for more power! Edit: couple weeks in and it’s still running great, rendering has been great. However as expected the enter key on the number pad of the keyboard sticks and will lockup the computer if I don’t catch it. Cheap keyboard!

Six months in, no issues. Keep the system clean (pr0n is for iPads now) and it should last a good while. Runs Elite:Dangerous, Doom 2016, Wolfenstein NO/NC and others at 2560x1440/144 with settings maxed easily. VR ready (Oculus, 3 sensor in my case). Great performance with every title Ive tried at good to great settings with reasonable SS. Ive been an iBP customer for years and this is my first non-custom rig. Ill be going back to designing it myself and waiting for the build from now on (no fault of iBP). Prime 2-Day shipping was too tempting; keep reading. Read the description carefully because there is no sound card or disc drive on this model and the mobo is pretty light on PCI-E and USB ports for my tastes! The front panels (external and internal) have no slots for the addition of a Blu-ray drive or multi-card reader, for example. I added a Sound Blaster Z with minimal effort but thats the end of the line for expansion. Youll need to remove some screws and plates from the posterior to make adjustments or upgrades, of course. The sharp looking LED stripe on the front as well as highlights on the CPU and case fans are red only, so get ready to not use the RGB functionality of the in-case light strip. If your setup is already red/black, youre set. Otherwise, you now have a red/black setup that may require accessory/peripheral changes, if you care about such things. I left the included mouse/kb in the box. I have to assume that a mech kb and a mouse with top-tier sensor will outperform the iBP branded includes or my worldview will shatter. Bottom line, if you need a powerful gaming computer and arent too concerned with the particulars, then this is the rig for you. Recommended!

Great product! My VR runs so seamlessly. The product says it comes with wifi USB adapter, but it is built into the tower. I went looking for it before i noticed.
