My wife has an iBuyPower PC, during the great GPU shortage it was cheaper to buy the whole system from iBuyPower than it was to buy just the GPU from scalpers. Thank you iBuyPower for not doing stupid markups.
I shuck a prebuilt for the gpu during the shortage lol
I bought a prebuilt during the shortage as I got a dell 8940 with a 3070 for around the price of a 3070 by itself......still using it, admittedly with an aftermarket aio and extra fans@@mattjax16
I used a competitor, but I did the same thing during the GPU shortage. I took the CPU, GPU, SSD, and cooler and upgraded my PC with them. Sold the rest of the parts locally. Really saved me some money AND it was well assembled!
Same time we bought our sons from Ibuypower. No issues at all. IF i had to pick on something it was the fact i had to email twice to get my windows keys because we changed cases.
The GPU "Shortage" was a scam...price gouging much like the current "Inflation"....wake up sheeple.
Phil is on point with those floating labels. Looking sharp.
Jay can't read it was 16 gigs of ram not 32🤣🤣🤣
@@SaraMorgan-ym6ue he said 2 16gb sticks which is 32gb in total
The floating labels were so good i thought they were signs in the actual facility at first.
14:30 Mori case cameo! Wasn't expecting a Calli jump scare in this random video 😆
I kinda want that case, or the Kronii one.
SAME... I want to start a Hololive PC case collection, and First one that list is going to be Callie & Watson. Then I'll get Bae's and Kronii's cases🙂
Deadbeats sound off!!
💀
not the first time a wild holomem appeared in a pc tech channel video lol
Thank you for coming out to our HQ Jay! We hope you enjoyed the experience of configuring your own PC and doing a facility tour with us! We've made it our mission to continue improving our processes to better the whole customer service journey with our PCs.
Warm wishes from all of us at iBUYPOWER and looking forward to more!
Had a great experience over all with both of my Ibuypower PCs. One suggestion is making some of those Ibuypower parts available for out of warranty repairs later. My Ibuypower AIO cooler quit 4 years after I got my PC (not out of the norm for that to happen) and when I tried to order a new one with the Ibuypower branding I was told those were only available for the new systems being built or warranty repairs. I literally was saying "Ibuypower take my money!" and the answer was no. Ended up ordering a kraken AIO through someone else.
can I buy a minesweeper PC
Silly question guys.....Do you ship OS?
I checked your website and it's not clear.
I know shipping to say Aus would be nuts, $$$ wise, but I'm thinking Aus really needs the kind of service you provide.
I applaud that you were willing to let cameras into your facility at all, it shows that you have at least some confidence in your processes. Though I do have a question regarding (I believe) an MR Slate 104 I've seen at a local store of mine. I noticed that the shelf model had only one stick of ram in it and to my knowledge you should never have less than 2 unless you want to bottleneck a system by limiting the bandwidth of the ram. Is that simply a leftover prebuilt that is no longer representative of current ones or is there something else going on that I missed? In my mind, if you're buying a system that north of 1000 dollars like that one is, dual kits of ram should be so standardized you don't even need to think about it especially given how cheap some dual kits of ram can get despite having solid specs and capacity.
i got my ibuypower pc 2 days ago and i love it
IBP building several Waifu case prebuilt - they knew their audience needs.
or maybe you don't have a gaming pc!!🤣
Saw a bunch of the same cases. What other choices do they have?
Best part was it was one guy building in all the anime girl cases. Man is living large.
@@AdmiralGloval they were a semi-limited collaboration with the Hololive Vtubers, the one in the video being Calliope Mori
there was also a Y40 for Amelia Watson
I used I Buy Power for my first PC back in 02 and loved them. I used them a second time about 10 years ago and another great experience. I put a PC together myself for the first time a couple years ago and probably will continue to do so going forward but if I ever do go with a pre-built again I highly recommend I Buy Power
thanks for doing this, i love "how its made" what an incredible insight to a company i didnt know anything about
Recently began working at a place that builds systems. Usually just the classic all in one office tiny cube you all know. Othertimes a prebuilt PC i get to assemble n all. Fun stuff if you enjoy building stuff. Not some big brand either tho but eh, it's a cozy job so long as all the paperwork and serial numbers are correct
..Though I'd say my workplace is more uhhh. Just casually building order after order and sometimes buffers n such. It's fun
I have had some really dumb and sketchy jobs, but i can proudly say I've never been confined to a cubicle before.
I'm not target demographic for an SI but appreciate this transparency. Will definitely recommend this video to friends/family looking at getting a pc. Top tier video, shout out to everyone involved in making this happen.
Ibuypower used to be the cheapest, sketchiest builders out there: no vrm heatsinks, single 8Gb ram stick, gtx 1050 gaming card, stock cooler. Now look at them, what an improvement!!👏👏
Mine was broke on the first day i got it. I just sent it back today for a refund.
My first gaming PC was an ibuypower pc from 2011. Speced it out to be able to play Shogun 2 which was the game that made me go: I need this! Lasted me up until 2018 when it got fried in a brownout 😢
I always use surge protectors on all my computers because of that risk. I'm sorry that happened to you!
That sucks having your computer fried. :( I've always had my computers (server, PCs, printers, network hardware, etc.) on an UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply), such as one by APC or Tripplite. I'm currently running my laptop, printer, and powered USB hub on a surge protector that handles over 4K joules because we have frequent outages up here in Alaska during the long winters. You can get a small APC Office UPS that'll give you enough time (~5-10 minutes) to shut down during outages, or to handle a brief brownout that doesn't cost a whole lot. I've been working on computers and electronics long before Jay was born (was an Electronics Tech in the Navy back in the '70s & '80s, then earned my BSCE and BSEE degrees after that).
@@LifeInFrameUPS dude. Search suppressors only support surges, a brownout is basically going to be power lag and that's not going to help that at all. A UPS also does power conditioning.
Since IBP are going to be reading these comments, I just want to say good work and thank you guys. At the beginning of the pandemic, I specced a PC and had it shipped to my almost completely tech illiterate sister-in -law. It arrived in perfect condition, it was easy to set up and it enabled her to work from home and continue to make money for her family. It also introduced her to gaming, which she has continued to enjoy. I've always built my own machines but I bought a Y60 case to build my son's music production system in. I could have gone with a generic case since the machine is not used for gaming but he wanted a bit of flair. I was really impressed with both the cool design and the quality of the case and so then I built my wife's machine in the elegant Revolt 3 which she absolutely loves. Finally, I've just finished my new machine in the flaming red Y40 and it looks fantastic. Once again thank you IBP from our family for producing great products and thank you Jay, Phil and Nic for producing an informative video. BTW Phile, nice work on the in-video titles. Nicely done.
It's nice to see wholesome comments online, legit makes my day. Since the internet can be so negative alll the time. To add to this my little bros first pc was an IBP machine and it worked great for years. Even had some issues and they fixed it super quick. It was a good experience overall.
I've also had a good experience cause I was nervous at first cause of people saying don't buy a pre built but I got the y40 and I couldn't be happier specs are
Ryzen 7 7700
4070
700w psu
32gb t force ram
2 tb ssd
Aio
Alot of fans lol
System Integrators = 10 Stages of QC.
DIY = Throw together - 🙏
Lol big facts.
I know this process is not appealing to us regular JTC subscribers, but I absolutely see the value for someone who wants a turn key experience. If i had 0 skills for PC building and wanted to play on pc, I wouldn't hesitate to go this route after watching this. Nice work Jay and team.
Ahh but maybe you haven't thought of the secondary benefits. If you build a machine for family then you are tech support forever. I got my sister-in-law to buy an IBP machine that I specified on their website I then sent IBP and her the spec. She ordered it and they delivered. Now if she has a problem then she 'must' call IBP because I can't 'touch' their machine.
It's not terribly difficult learning to build your own PC. Assembly isn't too hard, buying the tools isn't too expensive, and you're in charge of the quality control. Troubleshooting kinda' sucks sometimes if you're not a software engineer or don't understand how to partition drives without wiping your OS, hard to know if you broke something of if the part is defective...but yeah. I'd much rather build my own custom rig even with the tedious PITA parts of the process.
@@PaulLemars01 and the third benefit, you get warranty for the entire system. If something breaks you dont have to troubleshoot it yourself. Most people dont even have extra parts laying around for troubleshooting.
Usually dont comment too much, but this type of content is fantastic & much appreciated. I´ve gotten my Own System from IBP in Europe 4 Years ago and once I had issues with the initial product after a couple months they sent out a company to pick it up without hassle, fixed everything and had it sent back to me with patient support.
I say it every video. Americans are so lucky when it comes to PC building/buying. I really wish I was born in the states sometimes lol
Depends where in the world you are. Take 1 good , but know we have a lot of crap we come. And one state is different to another. Rent is crazy .😂
America is not a country. It is a business. Other big businesses see that and just see profit. We are a consumer market. Especially since most folks here are conditioned to spend above their livable costs. God bless the USA!
Immigrated to the USA. No other place on earth I'd rather live. Endless opportunity for those with strong willpower, the weak and fragile will cry and complain, which they have the right due to free speech and we should always strive to improve.
9:51 - Lab Tour starts
Love that we actually got to see the facility. Seeing the size of the warehouse and the fact the entire customer service department is also on site in California makes me understand the price markup a little. Still more than I would pay, but I get not everyone has the time or desire to learn PC building.
Also, thanks to the marketing team that greenlit the tour to make this video actually worth watching over a typical sponsored video.
Maybe a mark up but not when Graphics Cards were impossible to get.
Chankulda, wtf are you are talking about?
iBuyPower is definitely one of the better integrators out there
"Here's a bell, i don't know what it's here for" 😂
Good to see you having fun Jay. Like a kid in a candy store. This was a good video, very interesting. Look forward to the unboxing.
Glad you got to tour their facility! I did the same back in '22 and it's a majorly impressive place. Thanks for covering how important SIs are in the industry.
I bought a Revolt 2 from ibuypower about 7 years ago and it was an incredible system especially for the price. Really like how they would update you in real time online as to what they were doing. They listed every test and process they used and whether it passed or failed and were pretty quick. The packaging was also excellent.
I bought an iBuyPower pc around 2010 and was amazed at how well it was built and worked. When I started gaming on it I noticed artifacts on the screen and called them. They quickly RMA'd me a new video card and it worked fine after that. I've been building my own pc's since then but my experience with them was awesome!
Thanks Jay. Just bought my first new system since 2009 because of this video. I did tell them your name on checkout, so hope that helps you a bit. I've been building and researching for the last year. Exactly what I was building in all the sites/forums/my head for a bit cheaper.
i bought an iBP Element in 2017 for 1000$ with a ryzen 7 1700. Still going strong today ive only upgraded my gpu. also i remember the delivery guy literally threw it down the stairs of his truck. luckily i paid for the extra protective shipping packaging. i told him "dude you just through a glass computer down a flight of stairs im not signing anything until i check it." luckily it was fine XD
Flashback to GN reviewing every Ibuypower ever
A 3050 build for $1149? That shit is wild. Some of the build prices on these websites are so fucked, a 4060ti pc for $1700? I understand not everyone wants to build a pc but I rarely see even a halfway decent deal from these sites.
I specced a pc weeks ago for a friend with a 12600k/7900xt under $1550 and that's including some corsair rgb fans that he doesn't need but wants. (The price is still the same now) Without the fans it would sit under $1500
Ryzen 7000 or specifically x3D isn't super picky about memory at all. Doesn't matter whether it is EXPO or XMP. Cheap boards like a live mixer can easily push over 7000MT/s. I have watched enough AHOC to know you are talking nonsense. Doesn't matter whether it is 8, 16 or even 24gb modules, it works well with Ryzen even at high frequencies. Don't do videos and spread misinformation. I wouldn't buy faster than 6000MT/s, but if you want to mess around with high frequency, you can easily get to 8000MT/s running 2 to 1 which intel also needs at that speed and still can't stabilise 8000. AMD actually has the more solid IMC for DDR5 believe it or not.
Good to see you up and about bruv :-)
at 2:55 or at least at 5:05 they have to list timings, just as basic as possible CL30 or CL32 would be enough. nobody knows & why spent 15$ extra for the Kingston or Teamgroup ram. even when u click the info button it actually is useless and too overloaded, bringing up a whole new window with 0 specs listed. & yes it wouldnt be too confusing since they having PSU listed as PCIE gen 5 or 96mb cache L3 cpu (or the 3000mb write & 5000mb read from every single drive description). Also why do they have Arctic Silver 5 as thermal paste? i mean ok but why no Arctic Mx-6 but a thermal paste released 16 year ago? doesnt get into my mind. overall its a good Configurator but offers very weird choices sometimes.
Also an unpopular opinion: list RPM speeds for the fans (min-max or max only) - not all spin as fast as others listed there. - its minor thing though
(not to mention the ram "may" not be compatible at those speeds - tried msi b650 tomahawk & will allow me to select 2x16gb of ram at 7200mhz while msi states Single channel 7600mhz & dual 6400+mhz so it may or may not work - cant test it myself & only heard others having stability issues with such high speed. - but since they offer it, it should "work" without any fine tuning if the user decides to do a bios update & re-enable expo)
Cool video. I noticed a few wks ago, they no longer do custom build (at least thru online configurator) using their Hyte SFF case (Revolt 2). Thats too bad as its a decent case esp for size. I mustve had lucky timing as I was able to get a Ryzen 9 5900X/3080Ti build about a month after they released that case. I hope it wasnt discont in building in for a reason other that maybe too big of PITA? Anyway, PC been running well so Im cool with IBP although they did bend the MOBO with too much force when installing GPU, but no issues so eh.
I bought an iBuyPower RDY from Best Buy about a year ago. I have zero complaints. They even installed the fans on the rads in the right direction. Everything functioned perfectly. It had all the instructions as if I were not literate with computers. Once the computer was up and running, and I knew it was stable and consistent (run for about six months), I then took the liberty to made modifications with some fans, RAM and a different AIO and a CPU bracket (Intel's stock lever action bracket is terrible). I went with a pre-built because I simply haven't had the time to dedicate to really diving into a PC build the way I would want to.
I had heard a lot of bad things about iBuyPower before I bought it, but I am seeing those things that were said to be generally untrue, and in reference to some weird anomalys problem that is likely undetectable and unavoidable.
22:57 He puts the GPU box into the shipping box with no protection between the shipping box and the GPU box. Yes I know the GPU box has it's own padding but surely after all of this care building and testing the customer's system they could put something between the wall of the shipping box and the most expensive single component of the PC.
This was cool to see. I have bought 4 custom PC's from them over the years and never had any issues. On another note, I've used the same CPU cooler he got and its still running well with no issues, so definitely don't be afraid of it if you want to save a couple of bucks. I will also say I've always had the GPU shipped installed and never had an issue. Granted I've also never had one of those massive cards they have today either.
"There was WAY more to building these PCs than I thought!" Yea naa there really isn't much to it and iBuyPower wont do anything I can't do myself at a cheaper price. So this is why you did those two budget orientated build videos, I thought that was out of character for you since you haven't had to worry about a budget in years.
RMA Dept. "people think it might be one or two people sitting at a desk tinkering with a computer" (Proceeds to show one or two people sitting at desks tinkering) "No it's a pretty big operation, a big portion of the business too" ( again pans out to one or two people sitting at desks tinkering) "uh, has to be supported with a strong RMA dept"
This gave me a bit of a laugh. Great video none the less!
best video of the year comparable to Linus Secret Shopper but only 1 part didn't juice the vid for too much sponsor segue. Good Job Jay and the whole team and iBuyPower
I have some rose colored memories of my old old old IBP laptop with a desktop CPU. It ran so hot it melted the bottom(my fault). So ahead of their time. I'm glad they're still around.
I got a IBP pc when the Gpu shortage was going on. When I connected my extra storage drives and ram it wouldnt power on due to lack of headroom on the PSU. I am sure they make great systems and this was a really cool look into the process. Just didnt work for me at the time.
Would cyberpowerpc make one of these? Had a very good experience with my current pc from 2013 still going strong.
Upsets me when people bitch about people NOT building their own PCs. Because it is always cheaper to build it yourself. What they do NOT take into consideration is that some people do NOT want to build their own or do NOT know how. Also they do not take into consideration that some people like to have that no worries warranty and tech help. Sure you get a warranty on all the parts when you build your own but if something goes wrong YOU have to figure out what it is and go through the hassle of doing RMAs.
Man this video is awesome! My coworker just bought an Ibuypower system and I was curious if they were good. Glad to see they look good.
IS THAT A MORI PC
The time we in . Yep
Sorry to bother, but I hope you’re ok. I have been thinking about your video and your health and I just want to say God bless you and may you be better than you’ve ever been before. Thank you and the guys for the hard work. ❤
Great video! Thanks to both the JTC team and iBuypower for making this little inside tour possible. ❤
Thank you for this video. My son bought his pc from them, the graphics card came inside at that time and it wasn’t working. Customer service was phenomenal. He’s had it since 2021 and no issues.
The website looks neat, but they can make you pay $1500 for a computer with a 4060 Ti 8 GB if you don't know what you're doing...
We don’t know what there reason is. I have not seen the website. But perhaps it’s part of the cost for the all provided service .
But you right for people who don’t know it can affect their 👛
You're paying for the convenience of not having to build it from scratch. All those employees don't work for free.
Idk what videos you saw from Steve, but IBP did absolutely horrible over there.
i bought an IBP system a few years ago, it is a great computer my wife uses it now since i have since built two computers of my own. all i did to the IBP one was put another set of ram sticks in it for a total of four sticks. yes i bought the same sticks that came in it.
$1200 for a build with a 3050 or 6500xt is kinda wild
They should rename themselves iBuyGarbage
@@arminskols1998 can appreciate the QC but my God those are horrible prices
25 minute ibuygarbage ad
They have sales very often, where it’s way better value. But if you know how to build, any custom builder SI is gonna be taxed compared to building yourself
I got a 3000 system that was 2800 on pc part picker. 200 for clean, well built system was good enough value for me. I wouldn’t pay more than $200 tho for just labor tho, especially on cheaper parts
I got a system from IBP 6 years ago. I never had any issues with it at all. It was a good system. I would but another system from them again in the future.
What a shill. Damn Jay, didn't think you would sell out but i guess here we are.
My first gaming computer was an IBuyPower computer.
18:15 Check out the handwriting from the troubleshooting team 😎
Probably said below, but:
Thank you to you, Jay, for showing us what takes place behind the scenes, and big thank you shout out to iBUYPOWER for letting Jay show us what goes on behind the scenes. Not many a company would let the public do that. Note: I have been to one other mass market computer builder's warehouse many years ago. They were accommodating, of course, but also cautious on answering questions, such as burn-in time for their systems. Appreciate the access iBUYPOWER.
I should say, I have built the last two computers in my home myself. I am still learning. The pre-builts do have their place, though.
I bought my PC from them near the start of the pandemic to get into pc gaming and have a nicer work from home setup. It’s been perfect, and I’ve recently replaced a few parts just as an upgrade to also learn more about PC building. Love the thing!
I got a 650w PSU on a 4080 and 5800x3d... Works fine
An impressive store and warehouse along with high-quality services. Acquiring a PC in a place like this is really a privilege. You cannot see such a system integrator anywhere else in this world. Americans are lucky people.
My custom build from them is having issues. I did an RMA for a replacement 4090 GPU. The RMA process takes a long time. Still having problems with my PC and unfortunately my warranty ran out.
Sucks, mine came broke and I got tired of waiting on their RMA and just said screw it I spent 1500 and its broke. I sent it back today and bought parts already to build one.
As someone who has been build a system for more than 10 years, I tell you most prebuild is still better than DIY by someone with no clue on how to build a system. If you're new just start with a prebuild then learn from that, you can start by doing some diagnostic whenever your system gone wrong and stuff. The amount of people come to the shop to fix what they build is staggering.
Yea.. or you can just not be lazy and watch one 10min RUclips video how to assemble a PC and save a shit ton of cash.
@@AlvlUpSavedMyLife this is exactly why I tell you it isn’t enough, 10 min won’t cover every aspect of building a pc even something like loose ram, loose power cable, too much/too few pressure on cpu, wrong bios version, wrong driver and the list go on. Honestly it’s a small problem if you’re experience it’s a simple fix, but you gotta look in a POV of people who are new to all of this. The most important skill in building a PC is diagnosed what is wrong and then you can find plethora of fixing method online.
@@Sintraniathere’s a lot of thorough tutorials. Like this channel, bitwit, LTT, I’m sure NOAB has a tutorial. I went in my first time years ago off some tutorial. There are tutorials that are kinda bad so I’d stick to something reputable. But then again common sense isn’t so common, always double check your work and there’s so many guides online you should have no trouble. I think it’s just laziness
red security tape is uber important, shows box without red tape
Jay, I just want to say that this was one of your best videos. You did a great job walking us through the process. Keep up the great work!
10:00 someone is cultured and likes to see Asuna and Alice in Bikini's on the daily work schedule.
I once got a IBuyPower and When it arrived the motherboard was missing 3 screws the nvme was hanging out and the ram was in the wrong slots it didnt have a slot between them. Also the GPU was not slotted correctly it also had foam inside and packed very well. Just check everything before you start it. I should say it could of been by the delivery All I am saying is check your system with anything you have delivered
IBP are awesome. This vid couldnt have come at a better time
Jay, why didn't you get a Mori PC! or are you a Watson fan?
I wonder why they don't offer any air cooling options for the CPU?
Less chances for an RMA and offering some of the larger Noctua or Deepcool air coolers still gets you some great cooling performance, especially if they optimize the fan layouts.
Probably lower markups. Those air coolers are too cheap.
It has something to do with shipping, if I recall Braethorn's explanation correctly. You may find basic top-down air coolers or simple single tower coolers on more budget systems, but the more robust dual-tower coolers like your Peerless Assassins and NH-D15s are top-heavy like a high-end GPU; so much so that even if you throw as much packaging protection on it, there's still a palpable risk of shipping damage.
AIOs, OTOH, have most of their weight on the radiator, which is bolted securely onto the case, making it easier to ship.
I purchased a custom built system in Spring 2020 (right before COVID) from Digital Storm & the whole process from picking everything I wanted, to frequent shipping updates to a speedy replacement of a defective 2080ti was great! That same system is still running well as my daily PC!
For my son's 13th birthday I was looking to buy a gaming pc. I chose IBuyPower and used the website to configure a computer that would be as future-proof as I coud afford, Five years later there is no game it could not handle at high settings. The only part that is not original is the CPU cooler. The AIO that came with it died after 3 years. I replaced it with a Cooler Master tower unit. And it has worked flawlessly ever since.
Jay.....jaaay.jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay. WHAT!
The one criticism I would offer not just IBP but any other integrator is please use more airflow friendly cases in the preset builds. Modern components are hot. Having a case that effectively cools is essential. Please do not further contribute to the "form over function" issue that is so frequently seen with prebuilts. There are plenty of amazing looking airflow cases that have great cooling that don't cost an arm and leg.
I think some of them noticed during the past few years, IBP's current lineup of in-house cases have mesh fronts. Even NZXT which everyone memed for their toaster oven cases have good air flow now.
Thanks for the behind the scenes look. Always wondered how they manufactured so many computers for the masses. Cheers.
Great company! I have purchased two IBP in the past because it was actually cheaper for me to spec. out what I wanted from them than to build my own. Their customer support is also on point. The second system I bought for my son, and the GPU went out about a month after he got it. I called up tech support spoke to an American that actually worked in the same building the system was built in. He took me though couple trouble shooting step confirmed it was GPU. IBP overnighted a new GPU and I sent the defective one back didn't have to pay for shipping or anything.
This past year I built a new high end system after owning the IBP for 13 years (Yes I had upgraded everything but the case and PSU a couple time) but the first thing I did was go to IBP and spec out a new system to compare cost versus self building. This time it was cheaper to build my own and there was a specific GPU and case I wanted that IBP didn't carry. However, I will definitely consider buying from them again.
My first gaming PC was and still is an iBuyPower rig. Got it in 2021 and still going strong to this day with ZERO issues and the couple times i needed to call customer support they were very helpful. I would highly recommend this to someone even if they are not a first time PC builder.
As someone who builds all their own PC, I have massive for S.I. this last pc was a pain in the ass with having to troubleshoot to fix corrupt installs and repairing at the end user lvl having all this done so all I would need to do is plug and play mostly is huge to not have the headache
cool of ibuypower to let you see their facility.
I'm not sure about today, especially with parts suppliers, but back in 2008 Ibuypower built me a system with a i7 920, ASUS p6t Deluxe, gtx 260, 6gb ram, floppy, HDD, dvd.... finally died in summer 2024. That's a very long life for electronics in general but especially for a computer. I think the problem was the solder finally gave up, looked like moisture trails on the back of the motherboard that followed circuit paths and even alcohol wouldn't clean it off. Just stained. Definitely a testament to the build quality and QC testing on their part, I was running it at 3.2ghz for a while..
Now I've upgraded to a i5 12600k, Asrock Riptide z790, 32gb ram, m2, gtx 1650 (needs an upgrade) and enjoying something a bit more modern.
Let'
s be honest. I will say 'whatever' they want me to say if I get a system with a 14900KS, 4090 GPU and 4G NVMe.
thank you for the factory tour video, it was very educative & that editing is pretty hecking clean
also thanks Phill for that B-Roll of the Caliope Mori Y40 case
... ooh, they only have it as a Prebuilt in Intel CPU, that's a bit disappointing
I spec'd out an IBP PC in 2017 that was a bit overkill at the time. But I still use it today with ZERO problems. Until I recently treated it to a case upgrade, the only add on I've done is extra storage to keep up with the size of todays games. Well done to whoever put it together for me...
Great video. Loved that you showed the whole process. Really interesting. Thank you for sharing!
Hey what do you know Jay picked Intel and Nividia yet again. Just an observation.
Please do more RTFM Shows!
I currently use an iBuyPower system i bought pre pandemic and still use. My old system (an Asus branded prebuilt) had inexplicably died and this was a ready made that was extremely competitively priced and i don't regret getting it. After many years of usage, she still runs well and problem free. I'm thinking of upgrading this summer and honestly, I might get another iBuyPower system if the prices are still really competitive because the experience has been very good. I think the most impressive thing is how dust free my case is because the system came with magnetic dust shields. The old Asus system was embarrassingly choking on it's own dust by the time it gave up. As long as the quality stays good and the prices remain competitive, I'll probably step into another iBuyPower system.
Just purchased one on friday 9/14/2024. I knew it was past there work time so they didn't start until today 9/16/2024, but I already got a message about it starting the process. I'm really excited! I even did express shipping!
Disappointed- I was a hoping to see full length build video by that technician. 😢
It's autumn in half the planet.
I bought my Ibuypower’s i9 10900k RTX 2070 super 4 years ago. I never had any issues. That computer is a beast and it’s still running strong. Only thing I replace was the cooler and I upgraded to a 3070. Only regret I had is I wish I bought a bigger case. I recently bought another computer from another manufacturer (only because it was a great deal) but when I had the blue screen to death and call the manufacturer of a possible defective part they told me that the part was bought on Amazon I wasn’t to happy nevertheless. Needless to say my next purchase will be with Ibuypower. Thank you to all the technicians for their fantastic work.
Im not comfortable building my own PC yet but i needed an upgrade from the 1660 super i have currently. Your video made me notice IBP and I'm thankful. Appreciate the work your doing! Fan of the channel, now!
I went with AMD over intel because AM5 future proofing a I Buy Power pre built HYT Y70 Ryzen 9 7900x 32gigs of Ram and a MSI Ventus 3x OC 4080 super . Though I got it through Micro Center that being said how are the power supply in these systems I looked online and got a lot of mixed messages about there reliability ?
So I bought a y70 system after watching this video two months ago but my experience has not been great. I bought the system they did all the process like in the video up until I got the system. Upon receiving the system the box was already opened and was damaged. Mobo was cracked so nothing powered on gpu shows sign someone tampered with it. I contacted Ibuypower support they said they would start the UPS claims but after 40 days of no news I to called UPS myself to find that there wasn't a claim on my system yet so I had to start that and send in photos. UPS then contacted Ibuypower who asked me for the same photos of box damage and system damage with no news. I asked what options I had Ibuypower told me only after if ups pays the claim can I decide to get it fixed (send it back to them/ send parts to me) or return the whole thing. At this point I am not sure if I want to keep the system as I have yet to confirm anything else in the system for function. So I guess the actual product would have been great but customer support is just not there for me. 70+days and counting with this decoration.
The improvements they have made in the last 3 years is VAST. I bought a system from them in 2021 and it took forever to get it (Obviously COVID). Just ordered another Custom Build and they've nearly gotten through Assembly S2 (Burn in) in the first day. Huge difference in production. I'm not a huge fan of their proprietary parts (AIO cooler or fans) so I spent the extra cash for more notable named brands but I'm sure those issues have been remedied as well. I'm probably going to continue to buy from them in the future given this next build comes to me as fantastic as the last.
The factory tour reminds me of those factory tours of the AMG engine builders - like the one man, one engines
So I received a SlateHAKO from IBuyPower as a review unit. I remember being impressed by the build quality and cable management, but I do remember being disappointed on the stock cooler - some DeepCool thing that looked and worked worse than the stock Intel solution.
It started out as a Core i3-12100 with 8GB of single-channel DDR4-3000 memory, Arc A380, Gigabyte B660 motherboard, a WD Blue 500GB drive, and a generic 600 watt gold PSU. I’ve upgraded it with a 12600k, 32GB DDR4-3600, Arc A750, DeepCool LS720+ThermalGrizzly’s contact plate, Corsair 850 watt gold PSU, and a pair of 2TB Samsung SSDs.
Im late to the party on this one. Just got a used IBP 10700f and runs like a tank. Easy to open and maintenance and readily upgradable. Nicely built system
Since I hadn't built a PC since the AGP GPU days.. I wasn't confident in my building prowess anymore. This video got me looking into IBP and I finally retired my Lenovo Legion laptop and bought a prebuilt system from them. Amazing build quality and with my first responder discount it was a no brainer. Keep up the excellent work IBP and thanks Jay for helping me make this decision!
Specs-
i9 14900ks
4080 Super
All in the Lian Li 216 case (I think?)
This was cool & interesting. I've actually chosen iBuyPower for if I got a pre-built PC, in the just the previous generation. I chose a particular iBuyPower PC (for if I were to get one): iBUYPOWER - Gaming Desktop - Intel Core i7-9700F - 16GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER - 1TB HDD + 480GB Solid State Drive | I would choose a newer version with the newer hardware. I finally tried that PC at Best Buy one day, & it was thoroughly satisfying. It had the power & performance of a blackhole. I mean it had so much pull that nothing could escape its force.
When something goes wrong the first thing is SHIPPING How is the GAMING PC is PACKED? WHAT KIND OF PACKING MARERIELS USED?

12 years ago I got an IBUYPOWER PC. And it is working still to this day! The wife and I have done basic upgrades on it. I run Horizon FBW, on med. settings. With an average of 60 FPS. On the upgrade all we replaced was: The CPU, went from an i5 to an i7 4790. I went from an GTX 750 to an GTX 1080ti. Added fans. My PC runs modern games as will as older ones. I have come to a point in life that an upgrade to a new PC is at hand. My next buy WILL BE FROM IBUYPOWER! My only concern is if I am to invest in an RTX 4090 or a 4080? I would like to reply to some of the comments. 12 years not a problem works for me!
Those floating titles are a nice touch and up the quality of this video.
Bought a 3080 + 11900K prebuild from BestBuy in 2021 and I never had any complaints. When the 50 Series comes out, I will be buying from IBuyPower again. They have great youtube videos for maintenance on your prebuild as well, which helped out a lot since I was a console gamer and this was my first gaming PC experience.
