iBUYPOWER Gaming PC Computer Desktop Element 9260 (Intel Core i7-9700F 3.0Ghz, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti 6GB, 16GB DDR4, 240GB SSD, 1TB HDD, Wi-Fi & Windows 10 Home) Black

With the Covid-19 pandemic my job pivoted on a dime and mandated telework for at least two months. The second day of working on my laptop I decided I needed a new monitor so I bought an ultra wide screen one. With such a nice monitor I figured I would buy a new non-laptop computer so the laptop could be used by my kids for their school work. I did my research and having not owned a gaming PC in almost two decades I wound up pick this machine up from IBuyPower which looks to be a family run company and not a huge worldwide company. Setting up the system was a breeze, I will give you that using Windows for the first time in decades it felt really Mac like in the configuration walk through. The instructions that come with the system are one page and can be summed up as: make sure nothing came loose inside, attach the Wi-Fi antenna, plug in power, keyboard, mouse and monitor, turn on. Easy enough although the antenna cable could be a little bit longer. Performance is top of the charts in every category. Maxed out setting in every game and plays smooth as butter. Bought a Vive VR setup and ran the performance test and maxed out in every category and boy is VR a lot of fun. I run my work environment in a window with the ultra wide monitor and the system just purrs. This was my first exposure to a SSD and man-oh-man what a speed difference. With the system powered down, pushing the power button results in a delay of seconds until the Windows sign in screen is shown. Man, I remember the days of watching the BIOS screen scrolling by and now it is so quick. Waking up the computer from sleep mode is nearly instantaneous. What else... the system is super quiet. The keyboard and mouse that come with the system are cool and work fine. I was getting 139MB/sec download speeds via the wi-fi antenna (I have the computer in the basement) but I ran a Cat-6 cable directly to the router and now am over 500mg/sec download which is nuts. Downsides: Came shipped in the IBuyPower packaging which would make it a steal target if you are not home. I would love a simple sheet of tech info on the system like what kind of RAM to buy, how many slots are available, etc. Video card only has one HDMI port which required me to buy a cable adaptor to get the Vive connected. There you have it. I have not had the chance to use tech support so I cannot comment. I am thrilled with the computer and would recommend it in a heartbeat to anyone who asked, I looks great, plays everything and handles everything I throw at it without breaking a sweat. It is nice to know I will get years of use from this machine without having to downgrade settings on games. Order it and sleep well with your purchase, you made the right choice.

Very nice PC for the money! Fast processor and excellent Nvidia graphics card. Very quiet fan operation. Plenty of fast USB3 ports, front and back. Cool looks. Mine came with Windows 10 pre-installed and fully functional, but no Windows 10 "activation code". So at first it seems that Windows 10 cannot be activated properly on this machine. I noticed that there is no Windows 10 documentation anywhere in the paperwork that came with my PC. When you go to the Microsoft web site to register it, it says the PC's serial number is not registered for Windows 10, and they send you to a site to pay $120 for a Windows 10 Home license. Also, a watermark is seen on the lower right corner of your screen telling you your Windows 10 is not activated. Lack of Windows activation has given me problems in getting Office 365 to work, since the machine is currently unlicensed according to Microsoft. The Amazon description claims it comes with Windows 10 Home - which is only partially true due to the above situation. In fact, it may be an un-licensed copy. Might have to buy that license at some point. EDIT : Found the Windows 10 Product key !! by opening PowerShell and typing this command : wmic path SoftwareLicensingService get OA3xOriginalProductKey and then pasting the long product key (make sure you write it down for future reference) into the PC Settings > Update>Activation window. All is good now !! EDIT 2 : I am looking for a memory upgrade, right now it comes with 8+8=16GB of DDR4 2666MHz 288pin ram. I plan to use two sticks of 32GB ram, for a total of 64GB. The memory I am looking at is : Crucial Ballistix 3200 MHz DDR4 DRAM Desktop Gaming Memory Kit (288pin) 64GB (32GBx2) CL16 BL2K32G32C16U4R (RED), or https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B083TRRT1N/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1 Hopefully that should work straight out of the box !

Es mi primer acercamiento al PC GAMING y me parecio la mejor opcion para comenzar en ese mundo, la PC es muy rapida para conectar y comenzar a utilizar, los componentes son muy buenos y me permite jugar todos los juegos en calidad Alta , todo se ve de buena calidad, estoy totalmente satisfecho con el producto

It took a bit to get shipped to my home (and they made sure I signed for it) but it came in good, working order. This is an impressive, quiet-running gaming PC. Beautiful to look at as well. :) I have thrown benchmarking games at it and with almost all settings on high/epic they run smoothly. 1660 Ti is the way to go if you have the budget for it. Calling their support dept for assistance was also a pleasure, with a quick turn-around time for resolution to my OS problem. Highly recommended and would buy from this seller again!

Es una nave espacial!! el mejor CPU la entrega fue muy rapida y la forma en que cuidan el equipo en el empaquetado es lo mas profesional que eh visto. No duden en comprar esta marca.

I bought this awhile ago for my first gaming pc. No problems out of the box and still runs smoothly in the few months i've had it. Can run everything I play at high or higher with good frame rate. I recommend this to anyone looking for a pre-built pc. The keyboard it comes with isn't that great as a few buttons stopped working, but good to start off with if you don't have another one already.

Excelente computadora! Justo los que buscaba, muy buena pc para gaming
