Power through marathon gaming sessions with this iBUYPOWER desktop computer. The NVIDIA GeForce graphics card delivers stutter-free game play, and the 3.2GHz Intel i7 processor combined with 16GB of RAM provide the speed and power you need. This iBUYPOWER desktop computer has a 240GB solid-state hard drive for ample file storage.

Purchased this PC as a birthday gift to myself, not only to play some games here and there, but also to use as a workstation at home. I haven't stopped using it since. I, unfortunately missed the sale so I purchased at full list price, but it is most definitely worth it. GPU and CPU are extremely fast and very very quiet. I read every single review for this particular model number here on the site and then went to the IBUYPOWER website to read reviews on their other products as well, and this was the best price I could find even without the sale. The amount of positive reviews were outstanding across the board. Of course there were some oddball reviews with parts shipping either broken, damaged, or just plain missing, but I opted to pick up in-store so I wouldn't have to worry about sketchy shipping.
As far as the unit itself goes, it came with the keyboard and mouse, both of which work perfectly. It also came with an LED remote to change the lighting on the inside of the case but after many attempts and inspections, I've come to the conclusion that, for whatever reason mine came without the LED strips but still came with a remote. Taking the case out of the box, I realized it was missing a rubber foot bottom so mine is sitting on 3 legs instead of 4, but it's not too big of a deal since it only ends up being maybe a quarter of an inch difference. This case does have thumbscrews but if yours is like mine, you'll need a screwdriver to take them out the very first time.
The only other issue that I've noticed so far is that the front headphone jack only plays audio of the left speaker, or headset when halfway plugged in (??) but the back audio jack is perfect. Only minor complaints, but when purchasing something of this price point, you expect these things to be previously addressed by the manufacturer.
In summary, if you're looking for a mid to high end PC and don't have time or budget to build or assemble all the parts (especially with the GPU crisis that's going on currently) like me, this particular model is the way to go, especially if you catch the sale. This thing will be solid for at least the next 2-3 years and if you ever want to upgrade, just throw the new parts in and call it a day.
I'm giving the IBUYPOWER a 10/10 even with the issues that I've come across. If you have the budget I would definitely grab this while it's still here.
