I have a question will this play ESO (Elder Scrolls Online) on high settings? The only reason i ask is because im looking for a good computer and my laptop keeps burning up and is kinda old

Accepted Answer

Ricky,

This desktop will play ESO without any issues. The NVIDIA GTX 760 2GB can run majority of the games on the market on high settings. Let me know if you have any additional questions! Thanks!

Question 4

What is the true size of the case? The dimensions shown in the picture seem pretty large for to be a mid tower.

Accepted Answer

It is definitely a midsize case maybe just a tad larger certainly no where near  some of those gargantuan cases you see on the market , like I  don't see how you could put more than 2 vid cards in  this bad boy despite it having the slots for 4 you just wouldn't have the room

Question 5

What fan should I use to replace the rear fan that has failed?

Accepted Answer

If you're talking about the big, black exhaust pipe looking thing I can't help.

If you're referring to the plastic fan with the red LEDs in it, I just went ahead and ordered one that looked exactly the same.  Rosewill brand, I think.  Somewhere between $6-12.  I picked red lights again simply because it matched everything else and I was only seeking a replacement part.  You can pick whatever color you want.

Make sure the size measurement is the same and you can spend anywhere from a little to a lot depending on what manufacturer you go with.  I went with the dirt cheap option, and thankfully it has been working out fine.  You will most likely have to temporarily remove the MSI graphics card to get the old fan out.

Good luck!

Question 6

Can this run Battlefield 4?

Accepted Answer

Yes it can. I downloaded is through origin and it runs extremely smooth. I actually like it better than I did on my ps4.

Question 7

Can this run a dual monitor setup? I plan on recording videos for YouTube as well as playing graphically demanding video games (ie WoW/Battlefield) on the highest settings simultaneously. If not, what do you recommend?

Accepted Answer

Yes I run dual monitor and it works great. I play Wildstar and watch videos at the same time no problem.

Question 8

Where can I find and download the drivers for this pc? I want to install Windows 7 on the machine instead of Windows 8 and I have been told that I will need all the drivers ahead of time.

Accepted Answer

The drivers should be available on the iBuypower website.  At the top of the screen click support, drivers & downloads, & then choose the appropriate selections.  However, if you only want to avoid the Windows 8 interface, there is a solution that is a lot easier.  Download and install a free program called Classic Shell.  It will give you a Windows 7 style desktop and start menu, and will preserve the main benefit of Windows 8, which is a faster startup (there are other benefits, as well).  Classic Shell has a lot of options to customise Windows 8, including the ability to boot directly to the Windows 7 desktop.

Question 9

Hey Guys!
I am having connection problems with this computer. It loads pages very slowly, but I have 4 bars on my Wifi Connection. When I do a speed test it says :
Ping: 10ms
Download Speed: 2.75 Mbps
Upload Speed: 3.16 Mbps
When I do it on another computer it is:
Ping: 31
Download Speed: 28.88
Upload Speed: 5.82
I restarted my computer and checked for updates, there where a few. So I installed them, and restarted. Still no change. How can I improve the internet connection / speed on this computer?

Accepted Answer

I bought the same system and noticed the same slow wireless speed so I can confirm the speed problem.  Since I am using a wired Ethernet connection on this computer, I just turned off wireless and forgot about it.  My system came with a bad video card. I worked directly with iBUYPOWER using the Technical Support phone number on their web site and they replaced it for me.  Good luck.
