My niece bought this at the $1700 price mark a few weeks ago. I was surprised at the build/setup from the box. It was configured to run the RAM at 6000 with EXPO despite saying 5200 on the listing. No bloatware and all I had to do was install the Radeon software/drivers. No issues with the power supply and they have been gaming at 4k without any problems.

Quote from sixty4bit :
Seems like a pretty good deal. Just noting the comments mention 5200mts ram and a couple mention issues with the 750w psu
I am currently running 9070xt with 750w. No issues what so ever. That is with less efficient CPU also. Don't listen to people who say 750w is insufficient.

Same here. I have a 9950 X3D and a 9070 XT running 3 NVMe drives, 12 RGB fans, and a water pump. I've had no issues with a 750 w Corsair power supply

Quote from lmj7373 :
750w PSU DDR-5 5200Mhz memory to slow. B650 mobo bargain bin Bargain bin system, but if it's all that's available in your area gi for it. Luckily I have 2 Microcenter's fairly close to me and their PowerSpec in house brand is way better.
This is not a bargain bin system. It's about as good as you can do for a non Black Friday / cyber Monday prebuild in this market. 750w psu for an amd x3d and a 9070xt is a fine combo. Amds chips are not power hogs like intels. The 5200mhz memory is not 6000 but it won't cause a big difference in most gameplay experiences. Finally, most prebuilds come with simplistic mobo. This is the least important part of a system. I'm sure whatever they have is serviceable and won't change day to day performance. They're not going to give away a prebuilt system at a loss when the ram alone is 400+.

It is basement level parts period. It's like your saying all cars have 4 tires, brakes and a steering wheel. Technically true but quality varies. Again if you need it go for it, that's fine with me. To those that live close to a Microcenter you would be far better off shopping there. I picked up a prebuilt powerspec similar specs and pricing with much higher quality parts.
When did you pick that one up? I live within 2 hours of a Microcenter but don't see one with these specs around the price. Can you link?

I would also have to disagree with you. I was helping a friend with a similar system last year from these guys and I could not believe what they did. This company would get a great CPU and pair it with the most bottom of the barrel motherboard, to which it couldn't reach anywhere near the CPUs true potential and performance. They also choose the most bottom barrel memory company that can't run a DOCP or XMP profile to save its life. They never setup or configure the motherboard or bios settings out of the box. The GPU is usually a middle of the road spec GPU but then they choose the most obscure no name brand power supply and most likely a dramless ssd. SMH. I couldn't believe how borderline these machines are gimped by the poor choice selection of components. I can't recommend these to anybody.

Would you rather get this iBuyPower desktop or a comparable one from Skytech even though it costs ~$500 more (without discounts)?

don't get fooled by the specs , this machine couldn't run Fortnite or Valorant without FPS drops
So what do we think boys, 100% chance this guy plugged his monitor straight into the mobo?
