Performance

This custom gaming PC is equipped with a 9th generation Intel Core i9-9900F processor. iBuyPower has paired this chipset with 16GB DDR4 RAM, a 1TB hard drive, 240GB of SSD storage, and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Ti graphics card with 6GB memory. Combine all this with in-built Wi-Fi, and you get a great gaming system ready for long hours of online multiplayer action. At 1080p resolution and medium to max graphics settings, you can expect triple digit frames from all your favorite games. If you’re taking the AMD route, then check out the SkyTech Blaze II Gaming PC.

Design

In the design department, the iBuyPower PC is definitely an eye candy. It features three large 120mm RGB fans behind the see-through front panel, and one at the back. The side panel is transparent and lets you show off that Nvidia GeForce graphics card, RAM, and the CPU cooler, which also happens to be LED equipped. The RGB lighting on the fans are customisable to your liking, which is nice. The case and the fan placement is very similar to the CyberpowerPC Gamer Xtreme Gaming PC, which also boasts similar hardware, but lacks a CPU cooler.

Value

This gaming PC is total value for money right out of the box. Apart from including high-end hardware, iBuyPower also provides free lifetime customer service and customer support when you purchase this PC. The tech support is fast, reliable, and always available. The computers can also be purchased from iBuyPower com website, in case you wish to do that. The company also bundles a keyboard and mouse with the system, and even though they aren’t that great, it’s still nice. In terms of outright value, this PC is better than the HP Omen Obelisk Gaming PC.

Ibuypower Review Wrap Up

The iBuyPower PC comes with a powerful 9th generation Intel Core i9 processor, Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Ti graphics card that’s VR ready, and customisable RGB lighting. Although it doesn’t feature a GeForce RTX card, and the CPU cooler isn’t that effective, it is still a great deal for the price. The systems are built in the USA and carry an all rights reserved tag.
