iBUYPOWER Gamer Extreme NE905i Desktop PC Intel Core i5 3570k(3.40GHz) 8GB DDR3 500GB HDD Capacity AMD Radeon HD 7750 1GB Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit

Pros: Fast boot time, amazing processor, RAM is eh.

Came with a high quality XFX PSU which I love, I was honestly scared I was going to get a cheap off-brand PSU.

Cons: The 7850 isn't that good of a card. It was playing BF3 on Medium settings but I had money to spare and I got this on sale for ~$700, so I shelled out $250 on a GTX 660 and the PC is absolutely amazing.

Other Thoughts: Swap out the GPU whenever you get the money, the CPU is great.

Pros: Worked well for the time it DID work.

Cons: Really? Problems only after a month of purchase?

Other Thoughts: One month into owning it and so far its been great. After that one month though...nothing but blue screens and then finding out that one of the RAM sticks were faulty.

Pros: When I say this computer is quiet, I mean it is quiet. It hardly makes any noise what-so-ever, which is nice for a change. The case also remains cool to the touch, even while I play some graphic heavy games for a few hours. The case itself offers plenty of ventilation which helps it remain cool all the time. Speaking of Graphics, the card it comes with is able to handle running Skyrim on ultra high settings, without any issues what so ever. I do not even get any lag and the load times are quick!

Cons: The Hard Drive is only 500 gigs, and even less after you go through the whole Windows 7 set up process. You may wish to replace this at some point or get a larger Hard Drive to use as your main and turn the 500 gig one into a secondary. The Case is also a long longer than most other cases I have delt with and hands a good 4 or so inches out of my desk's computer slot. It's not a major con, just an urk. The case is also a bit boring looking unlike a majority of gaming cases (This case looks like a big black box), but I can live with that... and again, more of a personal urk than a con.

Other Thoughts: This computer so far as performed much better than I had hoped for. It's very fast, very quiet, and handles my games and G19 keyboard without an issue. I am very happy with my purchase and hopefully this will continue on for the life of this PC.

Pros: good price for those who are in need of a cheap gaming computer.

Cons: memory only 1333, HD a bit small but can work with it.

Other Thoughts: worked right out of the box but after 2 days, it started to give me blue screens. tried to troubleshoot it and found out that there were hardware problems. i'm trying to figure out what hardware/s are causing this. it's really frustrating to keep on seeing a blue screen everytime i start a game. i'll give it a couple more days then i might just return it for something better.

Pros: good spec good price

Cons: i keep getting a black screen every 20 to 30 min

Dear Valued Customer,

We apologize for the inconvenience. Please contact our customer support team again at 888-462-3899 and tell them specifically about the issue, they will gladly help you with this.

Pros: Low price for a fairly powerful computer that doesn't require assembly or complicated setup. Can be upgraded quite a bit. Very quite.

Cons: Has a budget video card that you may want to replace in a year or so and the hard drive is relatively small. These are minor quibbles.

Other Thoughts: I've owned my for two weeks now and it's run very well. If you want a inexpensive PC for gaming and you lack either the time or knowledge to build one yourself, then this is a pretty good deal. I've paid much more for worse deals in the world of PCs.

Pros: Pretty good price (depending on what you're after), excellently well constructed, plays basically any modern PC game on medium or high well. Well-endowed with memory and a particularly excellent processor.

Cons: A litttttle bit deceiving. Even though it's discounted by $120, you could still purchase the same parts for much less money, meaning you pay 100-200 bucks for construction. There are better deals.

Also, a less technically savvy consumer might not realize that though it is a "gaming" PC a lot of the parts are not as good as you'd like and there is less room for upgrading in the future than there should ideally be. The memory is of a lower speed and quality than you'd probably want for a gaming PC, though there are 8 gb of it. The video card is underpowered for a gaming PC (you could get a dramatically more appropriate card for an extra $50) and is going to be outdated and unable to play new games coming out on higher settings within a couple years. The power supply is a little weak, leaving less room for upgrading vid card and hard drive space.

Other Thoughts: Seems like a better deal than it is, though it'll definitely get the job done.

Pros: Computer runs very silent and quickly. Played Skyrim and Diablo 3 on High graphics with good performance, stays very cool.

Cons: About a month after I got the computer it randomly started blue screening.

Other Thoughts: The blue screen issue has been absolutely maddening. It's completely random; just a few minutes after turning it on, after being on for a couple hours, sometimes while playing a video game, sometimes while idle. It makes no sense. I tried reformatting it and it worked well for another month, and then started blue screening again. I called IBuypower (which is a time consuming adventure in and of itself) and they don't really know whats wrong with it, they think it's either the power source or motherboard...and offered to do an RMA for repair. Problem; it's going to cost me around $50 just to ship it back to them (apparently they won't cover shipping) and I'm sure they will just replace the faulty cheap parts with MORE faulty cheap parts. I realize this isn't a top of the line computer, but I expected at least a year before having any major problems. I still love Newegg, but I'm quite unhappy with Ibuypower.

Pros: Started working out of the box.
New CPU, good value MB, nice case, usb3, solid PSU, all silent. Mouse and keyboard are not too cheap.

Cons: RAM is not 1600-that sucks, CPU is good but not a lot of room to OC overall, video card is meh, but can probably buy a second one at $90 to xfire it or just replace with another better one.

Pros: I was playing battlefield within 3 hours out of box, installing and updates, looks great and runs smooth.

Cons: none so so far, 4 day ownership

Other Thoughts: Purchased as gaming computer
