Pros: -Large; you can fit a lot of disc drives/other things in the tower
-Looks nice (LED's, colors, etc.)
-Boots up nice and fast out of the box
-Acceptable processor, although I'd definitely recommend choosing the more expensive alternatives to the FX-4300

Cons: -You can tell the materials are pretty cheap
-Flimsy hard drive bay (in my case, the hard drive was slotted crookedly when I opened up the case. Easily fixable but still worth noting)
-Not exactly sure what the front-orientated ports are for; this could just be my limited tech experience, but the USB's in the front of the computer don't work with typical (older?) USB cables
-RAM, Graphics Card, and Power Supply should certainly be upgraded
-Motherboard can't support 2 graphics cards (although you get what you pay for, I suppose)

Other Thoughts: For the money, this could be a good mid-range gaming PC (if you plan on upgrading the parts), but beware the flimsy case materials. Overall I'd rate this an good PC for the money.

Pros: Great gaming PC for the price

Cons: I haven't really found anything wrong accept the initial lack of RAM.

Other Thoughts: The specs say it comes with only two RAM slots but when i opened it up to upgrade there are in reality four.

Pros: I wanted a value gaming machine at a fair price.

Cons: The case is low quality and silly looking.

The PSU that came with the computer does not have adequate power connections for more than one ATA hardrives. Don't expect to add hardrives to the machine with current PSU.

Out of the box the computer would not boot up. I had to go into the Bios and make some changes for the system to properly detect the hardrive and boot up.

That should not need to happen on a new computer. Had I not had the knowledge on how to diagnose and make changes I would have had unusable computer.

Out of the box the processor fan runs at 100% speed. Very loud and obnoxious.

Other Thoughts: Fair price. Needs an experienced user to optimize some of the negative aspects.

Pros: Shipping was fast and arrived when promised. System was very easy to set-up. Windows10 has been easy to navigate.

Cons: None

Pros: Not a thing..

Cons: To start off, it felt like an eternity for the shipping to deliver the console to my house. When I got the computer I hooked it up to my monitor and everything correctly, powered it on and it lit up, looked to my monitor and no signal. I figured something wasn't in all the way, but it turned out to not be correct, Contacted the support line, talked to someone who really didn't care if my product worked or not, and he just wanted to get off the line. and onto the next one. He was no help so I decided to just return the product, now I'm short $425 and since returns take 3-7 years I don't think I'll see the money again

Other Thoughts: iBuyPower can't make this right for me, this is the almost definition of being mistreated by a company. If they wish to make it right, they need to go above and beyond the call of duty, because I don't just feel upset, I also feel that they disrespected me.

Manufacturer Response:

Hey Estefan,

We sincerely apologize for the way you were treated and want to make this right for you.

Since we don't have your contact information, please contact us at newegg@ibuypower.com and we will discuss what we can do.

Thank you!

Pros: Pros: it's a decent "starter" gaming computer for its price works well, has decent room for upgeades, never had mine overheat, and never had to replace any parts

Cons: Cons: my DVD drive doesn't work. i'm not sure if it just won't load movies or if it doesn't work at all. i just know for a fact that it will not play any movies. and i also found out the reason 2 of my USB ports don't work is because my motherboard is faulty. if it's turned off and anything is plugged into either of those two ports, the computer will start to boot and then freeze after it gets to the windows 8 logo

Other Thoughts: there's always a risk when buying a new computer or any computer part. but given that there's always a risk and with the problems i got after i bought mine. i would still buy it again and would recommend others buy this computer. it's still a pretty good computer for its price

Pros: So this was my first PC purchase. Mainly to edit, capture, stream, and upload 1080P videos. I purchased this PC at a nice price from NewEgg. But I did not fully know what to expect. I had a somewhat close idea, but not all the way. When it arrived, it came in one big and very cool iBUYPOWER box (I still have it). Inside of this box, there was another box containing the PC. There were still more contents in the box though. No, i had not ordered anything else other than a VGA cable for my monitor and my PC. After I had checked the other contents, I found a keyboard and a mouse. The mouse has a DPI setting, the more you press it, the brighter the LED Light becomes! Every time it gets brighter, the mouse adjusts to a higher sensitivity, which i thought was amazing. The dimmer it becomes, the less sensitivity you have, perfect for gamers. I did not originally purchase this PC for gaming, but after using it, I downloaded steam and Counter Strike: Global Offense. It ran superb and did not have any issue what so ever. I will soon purchase more games to play, probably after i finish typing this review! The PC is so HD! The resolution is so amazing because even the desktop is too HD for my monitor! I think I need to upgrade my monitor now! The PC also came with a keyboard that works amazing! I have not thought about purchasing any different keyboard at the time. I'n in love with this overall. The PC has a built in HDMI port, because it is more common nowadays. Although the VGA is a preference for many. It is always the user's choice! This PC has a see through case which is neat if you are one to place their PC on top of your desk. You can shut down this PC with ease too! All you must do is just press the power button on top of the PC. When the PC is on, this button will stay lit in a blue color! If you are a hardcore gamer, you will love that you can change the fan speed with ease! Overall, this PC is great, there was no hassle to un-box or setup, and it runs amazingly well. I have always wanted to stream and upload YouTube videos at a high quality and I will finally be able to do just that! Not only is it just for fun use, it is also for career building use due to its high power. Thank you, iBUYPOWER, for creating such an inexpensive and amazing PC! I have never had any communication interruptions or anything of that sort. It has a very nice processor as well. I'm still shocked that it works this well. Purchase this PC if you are looking for great power for a low cost!

Cons: None, other than my monitor being bad. The PC has such a high resolution that even the desktop seems to HD for my monitor! Time to upgrade to a new HD Monitor!

Other Thoughts: Cannot believe that it can do all of this!

Pros: I used this PC as a base for my first Mid-Range build and it's lasted quite awhile. Although I quickly made upgrades to the system, even that being said, it's a great first computer for the kids who are into gaming with the friends.

Cons: Power Supply will need to be replaced with any future upgrades which is to be expected at this price range. This isn't even a con it's just a heads up!

Other Thoughts: While I didn't stick with much of the stock parts for long, it's a great starting PC and I'm thrilled with the purchase I made.

Pros: Pros: Led lights are nice, Tower is a lot bigger than I thought. It looks a LOT better in person then the pics. It's built nice and the cords are all tight and neatly done.

Cons: Cons... The motherboard plugins in the back seem kind of loose. But they work fine. Brings one 4gb ram which blows but that's fine if you have your own to switch it out with.

Other Thoughts: Has 2 VGA and DVI areas and 2 HDMI's. 2 usb's in the back and 2 in the front. Very lightweight surprisingly. It's sleek and looks nice, it's fans are not as loud as some people say. Those who say the vga doesnt work... Plug it into the graphics card not the motherboard. SAME with the hdmi. It has NO bloatware. It comes with trash and IE. The red LED's work nice. Its super fast when you turn it on even without a SSD. theres a lot of crying about the wifi.. The wifi works fine! I actually really like it. It came with 350 watts instead of 300 and a msi vid card instead of whats advertised.

Pros: Works well.
Not loud.
Case is pretty.

Cons: You'll need to upgrade the video card. Can't run a lot of the triple A games very well.

Also, the keyboard and mouse arrived broken. Pretty sure it wasn't delivery's fault either.
