Play games, surf the internet and complete tasks on this iBUYPOWER computer. Its Intel i7 processor provides the support needed to run power-hungry programs, while the 16GB of RAM keeps processes running smoothly without hiccups. This iBUYPOWER computer has a 2TB hard drive to store all your files with room to spare.

Let me just start off by saying the pc works fine but I do think they could have done a better job. This isn't my first gaming pc but it was my first IBUYPOWER pc. As much as I tried I could not find very detailed specs on this computer so I will share mine to try and help others. The motherboard is a MSI PC Mate B150 I was hoping for at least an H board. I feel that they could have spent the xtra 20 dollars and put in a better motherboard, no usb 3.1 gen 2 for you. The processor is an I7-6700 (non k) which I knew and was fine with me as I didn't plan to overclock. The ram is Adata xpg 2133. The GTX 1080 is not bad it's the ASUS turbo, so lower end of the 1080 family but still a 1080. Couldn't find any markings on the psu so not sure but not modular. The ssd is a Kingston and the 2tb is a Toshiba. Wire management gets a B- if they added 1 zip tie to psu cables at the bottom it would look a lot better. This pc has wireless but it's rigged up, basically they took a usb wireless adapter and just connected it to a small usb pig tail on the inside. This does not look good, the first person to see it asked me why I had a thumb drive inside my computer. I bought this computer because I needed a new one and Best Buy had a great financing offer but I don't think this is for me. If this had a better motherboard (with wireless built in) and a bettter CPU cooler I would probably like it better. I'm going to test the temps out this weekend but I'm 99% sure this is going back Monday and I'll try a different company. I just felt disappointed when I really sat down and looked at this pc.
PS my free mouse was DOA
My Best Buy number: 2107545187
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought this on cyber monday so I did get it for an amazing deal, but this computer is worth every cent of its full price. I'd seen other people comment that theirs came with an MSI gtx 1080 Armor, so I was a little bit disappointed to find an ASUS 1080 Turbo in mine, but honestly I'm never actually going to notice the difference. This thing can handle anything I could ever throw at it.
It was a pleasant surprise to find just how silent this computer is. The case only has one fan, but even with a very poorly optimized game (looking at you, ARK) running at ultra graphics, the sound of the fan is drowned out by my ceiling fan, lol.
The one thing I'm disappointed with is that it appears to have come with an invalid Windows key, so it's constantly bugging me to 'activate Windows'. I'm hoping it's a mistake and I'll find a valid key among the stuff that came with it.
Also, the free keyboard is horrible, but I was never planning on using a free keyboard for very long anyway.
Overall, very impressed with this computer and incredibly happy with my purchase.
