Its 16GB of RAM, AMD quad-core processor and NVIDIA GeForce dedicated graphics card make multitasking easy, and the ten USB ports let you plug in many devices. This iBUYPOWER desktop computer also has Windows 10 Home, a 24x DVDRW drive and a 2TB hard drive for storing lots of data.

Great Starter Gaming PC But.....
on April 30, 2017

A few things you will need to consider before buying this PC.
1. The Power Supply is cheap garbage that it comes installed with. It's so bad that it's not even compatible with most popular graphic cards. For example, the Geforce GTX series and so on. It's also so bad that with the generic graphics card it comes with, you can barely play any recent games on it without dropped down the graphics all the way to low. Even then, it is still very laggy and choppy. Despite the description stating that it comes with 16GB of RAM.(Which it does) But only 8GB of that RAM are usable due to the poor power supply and graphics card.

2. With the price of 600+ dollars you are paying for this, while not expecting or demanding the best performance ever. You will right out of the gate have to spend extra money just to get it running games at a decent rate. Lucky for me, I already had a spare GTX 980 graphics card on me. I just had to spend an extra 70 dollars and get a decent power supply that could run that graphics card.
Now with all of this mentioned, I am still giving this a 4-5 because while it needs some extra money put into it. The case itself is very nice and roomy. It was very easy and painless to do those upgrades and I am very happy with the end result. Just be mindful that you will still need to spend more money to truly have a great gaming experience.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Get reliable and consistent performance without overheating issues with this NVIDIA Founders Edition GeForce GTX 1070 graphics card. The die-cast aluminum body and modifiable back ensure durability and rigidity, while the thermal solution provides better cooling than standard blower-style graphics cards. This NVIDIA GeForce GTX graphics card is VR-ready and delivers three times the speed of its predecessors.

Best Bang For Your Buck!

I went from the 970 to 1070 and what a massive difference it made. On my gaming PC, I went from 35-45 fps on the Witcher 3 on mid to high settings to 60 fps on ultra max settings. I would suggest saving up and picking up one over the 1060 as this graphics card is the real sweet spot.

4 out of 5A very good card for the money

I picked one of these up and did not open the box, I returned it the next day to buy 2 GTX 1080. Bought TWO of these 1080, replacing two GTX 770's frame rate went from apx 60fps on ultra setting Far Cry Primal to well over 120 on babies in SLI. Plus system is now ready for VR. . Not ready to hand out another $900.00 each for HTC VR systems yet.

Okay?

No offense but why even bother write a review? You admitted that you didn't even open the box, so you did not use the 1070 graphics card. How can you review a product you never even used? It'd be one thing if you opened the box, the product was damaged or faulty. But all you are basically saying is "I changed my mind and returned it to spend more money on the 1080. 4 out of 5 stars."

Can this computer run Overwatch at normal settings?
No, you'll need to upgrade the power supply to one that can use PCIE and a graphics card. You'll have a horrible experience otherwise.

What is the power supply?
A generic 350w non PCIE power supply. Remove it and upgrade to another one as soon as you can.

How many years can it run Warcraft?
You will need to upgrade the power supply to one that is compatible with PCIE and get a better graphics card. After that, you will be able to play WOW and many other games with ease and at good frame rates.
