iBUYPOWER Elite Gaming PC Computer Desktop Slate2 070i (Intel i7 8700 3.2GHz, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB, 16GB DDR4-2666 RAM, 1TB HDD, 240GB SSD, WiFi Included, Win 10 Home, VR Ready) Black

I get that this build is a steal, but as soon as I opened it up I knew something seemed fishy. Mine came with a Radeon RX 460 as the gpu (which is insulting), had only 2 slots for ram with only 1 slot being used by an 8 GB stick, and did not have an upgraded heat sink for the cpu. I didnt even take off the default heat sink to see the cpu becuase i expect that it also was not what I paid for. In fact, based on other reviews, the only 2 things that I found that I was expecting were the case and the 1 TB WD Blue. Its pretty unbelievable.

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.

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.
