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.

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.

Just got the PC today. Started up with no problem and everything is working great so far. Speeds are excellent as this was a significant upgrade over my previous build. The value for components in this build is unreal especially if you can nab it on sale. EDIT: I checked the temperatures and my CPU was hitting 100 degrees C while playing PUBG. I immediately turned off the PC and checked the CPU cooler. When I removed the cooler I discovered that there was no thermal paste applied. As a PC builder, I had some available which I applied and the computer ran at standard temps. However, if a user less familiar with PC builds had this problem, they may not notice an issue until it is too late. Just a warning that you may want to monitor the hardware temps during the first play throughs.

This is an excellent product. Though they recently raised the price (right after I bought it), the value is still superb and it runs my games very well. Plus, it has tons of extra space for hardware upgrades One complaint: the WiFi adapter that they include in the computer is not great. At first it connected to my WiFi at a tiny trickle, and later on it disconnected completely. After calling tech support I was told to move the wifi adapter from an internal USB port to one on the outside, which improved the connection, and to just buy a new adapter since the existing one is bad (only $15 for a good one). This was a bit annoying, considering I had just purchased an expensive gaming machine, and they could easily have included a better adapter, but this is a minor complaint in the grand scheme of things

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.

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!

Had you asked me a couple of years ago about buying prebuilt, I would never have even considered it. The cost was significantly higher than simply buying your own parts and building it yourself. But once I saw the specs of this machine, I couldnt believe how well priced it was. I went ahead and added to the best of my ability the same build onto pcpartpicker (case, keyboard and mouse are unique to iBuyPower, but theres decent substitutes for them, e.g. NZXT S340) and as of today, its identical in price, if not in fact cheaper to buy this desktop. I have no idea how these guys turn a profit. In any case, I finally caved. I had to have this, and Im absolutely thrilled with what I got. Here is exactly what is included from what I was able to view from a quick glance over: OS: Windows 10 Home 64-Bit CPU: Intel Core I7-7700k 4.2GHz Quad Processor CPU Cooler: Deepcool GAMMAXX 300 R Motherboard: AsRock B250M Pro4-IB Micro-ATX LG1151 RAM: ADATA XPG Z1 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2400MHz GPU: Asus - GeForce GTX 1070 8GB Dual Series Video Card Storage: Western Digital - Green 240GB 2.5" Solid State Drive Western Digital - Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive Wi-Fi Adapter: AC600 WLAN USB (Unsure of exact brand) Case: iBuyPower Slate Gaming Tower (2x Side Glass Panel) Mouse: iBuyPower GMS5001 Gaming Mouse Keyboard: iBuyPower Ares E1 Membrane Gaming Keyboard Power supply is the one thing I havent attempted to verify as its concealed quite well by the case covering and wires, but I can assume based on the power consumption of the build and other reviews that its some generic brand PSU, anywhere between 350W-600W. Ill update if I ever decide to take a peek. The case is really solid. Black with red LED lights on the fans and front panel of the case. Has 2 dark tinted glass panels that are easily removed by hand for easy access to hardware. RGB case lighting with up to 16 colors that can be controlled via remote can illuminate the motherboard, giving you a great view of your PC in action, or just additional eye candy. Can be turned off if not your thing. On startup, SSD booted immediately to Windows 10. No issues experienced in comparison to other reviews. No bloatware of any kind aside from the usual Windows games and apps, so thats very much appreciated. The few games I installed on the SSD as opposed to the HDD load incredibly fast. Multi-tasking is seamless with no hiccups. Can easily alt-tab in and out of games and browse the web/youtube without much slow down, if any. Game performance is fantastic at 1080p. With some tweaking, RIse of the Tomb Raider, Middle Earth: Shadow of War, GTA V, and Witcher 3 all run flawlessly at 60 fps, all settings either Ultra or High. Any game you throw at this should run amazingly well and look good doing it. (Unless its poorly optimized like Ark: Survival Evolved) I do not own a 4K or 1440p monitor, so I cant speak for performance at those resolutions. Air flow is great due to nice open space. (Great cable management does wonders.) Fans are pretty quiet and never get too loud. CPU and GPU temps are pretty good for being air cooled. CPU idles at 37°C and typically stays around 45°C-60°C during play. GPU idles at 42°C and goes up to 65°C-70°C during intensive play. Overall, this is the PC I always wanted, but there are some issues if youre ever looking to upgrade or make tweaks. Without liquid cooling, youre limited with how much you can overclock your CPU while maintaining decent temps (I personally wouldnt touch it. Stock speed is more than adequate). As for any hardware changes or additions, the motherboard is an upgrade bottleneck. Theres no room left on the motherboard to add a 2nd GPU from what I can tell, so dont even think about SLI with this out of the box. The motherboard also only supports memory up to 2400 MHz, so youd have to switch it out if you ever plan on upgrading and overclocking your RAM. One last personal gripe I have is that theres no front bays of any kind to allow for CD or Bluray drives, so I wont be able to add one like I initially planned. So heres a TL;DR list: Pros: - Quiet - Clean and open space, which means good air flow - Fast boot and load times with SSD - Plays all games on Ultra/High settings, 60 fps at 1080p - Amazing price/performance ratio for a prebuilt gaming PC Cons: - Limited overclock potential without liquid cooling - No room for multi-GPU upgrade - Motherboard memory capped at 2400MHz, so no RAM overclocking - Motherboard is an upgrade bottleneck, so it must be replaced if you intend to address the previous 2 cons - No front bays for an additional CD/Bluray drive (Since I havent verified, I cant claim whether or not youll need a new PSU if planning on GPU upgrades) All in all, this is probably the best prebuilt you can buy that doesnt skimp on power, with a perfect price/performance ratio. Every other gaming PC Ive seen sacrifices either the CPU or the GPU to accommodate the other (Get an I7 but with a 1060, or get a 1080 but with an I5) Unless we see some huge changes in game development soon, this PC should last a long time playing games at 1080p before it needs an upgrade.
