iBUYPOWER Gamer Extreme NE650FX Desktop PC AMD FX-Series FX-6100(3.3GHz) 8GB DDR3 500GB HDD Capacity NVIDIA GeForce GT 610 1GB Windows 8 64-Bit

Pros: -Great for a Budget build, though I cheated and got an open box of this for even cheaper. Still, with what comes in here, you'd be fairly hard pressed to build one yourself for cheaper.
-The processor might not be an i5, but it's still pretty strong, and does well with overclocking. The mATX board included is great for that.
-Amazing cable management: both from just the case, and the work put in by the assembler. Expected a nightmare of cables, and was pleasantly surprised.
-Great functional case, that has a lot of room. The case window is a pretty durable plastic that showcase the insides well, including the pretty cables.

Cons: -The 300w power supply is the biggest roadblock to upgrading this; so plan on buying one before you get anything else.
-The 610GT card isn't -quite- as bad as everyone says, but it's definitely not great. Ran stuff like League of Legends and Minecraft alright, but don't expect miracles from it.

Other Thoughts: As soon as I got this, I tested it for functionality, then ripped out the power supply, video card, and CPU heatsink/fan. Replaced them with a 700w Modular Kingwin power supply, MSI 650ti Boost GPU, and a Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO for the heatsink/fan. Everything fit just fine, though the Hyper 212 EVO is cutting it a little close (the very top of the heatsink's copper pipes have about 1mm clearance from the case window). Runs like a dream.

One thing to note is that since this is using an mATX board, the Hyper 212 Evo with a fan (depending on what kind of airflow you are going for) WILL sit over your RAM slots. The fan's position is adjustable, though, so that's not too much of an issue, even if you plan on using something like G.Skill RAM, with those big heat fins.

Pros: Excellent choice for those looking for great value without building their own system.
Spacious interior for future upgrades.

Cons: If you are looking to make a lot of additions to the system I would recommend upgrading the power supply. Unless your're adding something demanding, this isn't required.

Other Thoughts: Over all a great start point to building a custom system especially if you need to build it slowly. I've had it for over a month and its been a great quiet system so far.

Pros: At this price you can not beat its performance and reliability, hooked it up straight out of the box and everything worked flawlessly. Windows 8 isn't that bad just gotta get used to it but its worth it.

Cons: Could have used a better video card but it still runs games just fine.

Other Thoughts: After upgrading the video card to a 650 GTX 1gb, it runs every game I play on max setting with a steady 60 fps. Definitely a steal if you're on a small budget. I play games such as LoL,Smite, Diablo 3, WoW, and The War Z incase you're wondering.

Pros: Well this computer sounds fantastic, im not an owner so I could not tell, the reviews sound great but I have one question, can this PC run Black Ops II on high or mid settings?

Cons: I might need to get an upgraded video card though, that's not too bad, it sounds like it has a decent one already.

Other Thoughts: Gonna get it :)

Pros: good speed, works for the games I play, easy to upgrade later. Works good so far. shipped extremely fast.

Cons: Case, mouse, and key board it comes with seem a little on the cheap flimsy side. Picking the case out of the box the face plate popped off, but it went right back on so no biggy. The mouse also popped apart and back together. plastic just seems to be a little more on the easy to break side than most you find. The video card and memory are a bit on the low side for me. And I really shouldn't have to add how bad windows 8 is. not the pc's fault. But its just a bad os.

Other Thoughts: I didn't buy the PC because of the mouse and I can always get another one, and the video card and ram can be upgraded later. If your a casual gamer like me who mostly plays games that don't demand alot this is a good budget deal that you can upgrade over time. so far it plays all my games as is right out of the box.

Pros: The Fx-series cpu and motherboard allows a fast boot-up time even a solid-state drive. (Less than 15 seconds) Whenever I get time in between work and college, I play games, and a 500 Gb hard drive gives me enough room for my 50 steam games and more. I was unsure about the brand at first, but I spent my money well. I found the graphics card was sufficient enough to play League of legends on(I believe) high video settings with a nice fps. Overall I am happy with my purchase.

Cons: My biggest dislike about about the computer is it only has a three hundred watt power supply. It somewhat limited my options of future graphics cards.

Pros: Started up right away. Quick and easy. The comp has been running smoothly all day.

Other Thoughts: I would recommend this product.

Pros: Shipping was fast, was packaged well, Started up and ran without a hicup. Havent tried gaming on it yet but I can tell it will do the job on low to mid settings. The mouse an keyboard are a sexy combo.

Cons: Cant think of any other than I didnt get a free game.

Other Thoughts: I plan to upgrage graphics card and psu in the future, although I feel they are sufice for the money I paid. Case has plenty room for upgrades.
