This iBUYPOWER Slate packs a Ryzen 7 9800X3D, RX 9070 XT, 32GB of DDR5, and a 2TB SSD into a strong gaming rig that feels like a solid value at this price. The build has been running smoothly for some and the performance has been described as fantastic, with the current market making the RAM and storage look especially competitive. The main cautions are iBUYPOWER's reputation for cheaper motherboard, cooler, and power supply parts, plus reports of a hot running AIO and awkward BIOS updating. It looks like a capable high end prebuilt if those tradeoffs are acceptable.

  • people who want a smooth-running gaming desktop right away because after getting it up and running it's been operating smoothly with no regrets so far.

    dadealwhore

  • buyers who are mainly optimizing for value on RAM and storage because commenters said the build still seems like good value given market pricing for RAM/storage even though iBUYPOWER sometimes uses lower-tier parts elsewhere.

  • gamers who are okay doing minor maintenance because one owner planned to repaste the 360mm AIO after a week since it ran hot.

    glenroebuck

  • people who need server-style, high-core CPU configurations because one commenter wished the AMD GPU deals came paired with higher-end 16-core CPUs for that use case.

    iamniam

  • buyers who want to avoid iBUYPOWER prebuilt reliability risk because one commenter called iBUYPOWER a "shitty company" and advised avoiding their prebuilt PCs.

    GreenSink7703

  • people who want easy BIOS upgrades because a recent buyer said BIOS upgrade is hard and "you cannot od it from the bios."

    glenroebuck

  • buyers who rely on long-term component durability without needing replacements because commenters reported friends' prebuilt failures like an SSD slot 0 dying after ~2 years and a RAM stick going bad (though replacements fixed things).

Received mine this week and it's been operating smoothly since I got it up and running. No regrets so far. Seems to be a good deal from what I can find comparably.

I think you just have to be lucky with them. I've had mine for nearly 5 years and never had a single issue. I bought a mid tier PC for my wife and have to contact them within the first week with an issue, which was fixed eventually but took a bit of time.

I bought this a week ago. So far so good, I think I will repaste the AIO it seems to run a bit hot. Also it is hard to upgrade the bios. You cannot od it from the bios.

Thanks. I was thinking the specs looked great, but don't know of the company and wary of splashing out 2kish on a prebuilt. What were the issues?

Surprised it costs this much now for these specs but this is a great rig. I got almost this exact build 5 months ago (DDR5-6000 though) before prices went nuts and it's been fantastic.

I bought an ibuyPower system back in 2020 and had zero issues with the system if that helps at all. I feel like YMMV type of deal. But in general, they typically cheap out a bit on the motherboard, Cooler, and Power supply. Not to say they are bad units, just that they are rarely mid/high tier.
Regardless, this build seems like a good value understanding where market prices are for Ram and memory.

Looks like it was the same price five months ago ~1800.

parts for these prebuilds do tend to be kinda meh, i've had friends had their slot 0 SSD (windows) die after 2 years and another had a stick of memory go bad too, both were cheap-ish parts (ADATA i think for the SSD, not sure DDR) but it could happen anywhere. Out of warranty but replaced both parts and system was just fine after.

Tempting but i'm not sure how an ATI card nowadays compares to nvidia when it comes to gaming, and my 4070 is good enough for now. Hoping for AI crash so prices can get back to reality.
