*Update 4/16/22* The Apacer Panther SSD failed 2 months outside of warranty with a SATAFIRM S11 firmware error out of nowhere. Google shows this is not uncommon for Phison S11 firmware controllers. Contacted iBuyPower to see if they'd send a replacement since a SSD with less than 200hrs on it failing after just over a year is really not normal. They refused since it is 2 months past the 1yr warranty. That's their right as a to the letter company, but it also means they do not really stand by their products. I would no longer recommend systems built by this company. 2 stars for the 2 months outside warranty that the SSD failed. Original review: I've been building my own systems since 1998. I've sold thousands of pre-built systems when I worked retail. I vowed I would NEVER buy a pre-built.. but 2020 had different plans. I've been waiting to upgrade my gaming system for over a year now. I was running a GTX 970, which has been an amazing card but it has showed it's age. I've had to drop some games down to medium settings to run well. Due to the huge shortage of graphics cards, and the outrageous prices on scalped cards I've been stuck waiting for a new card to become available at somewhere near MSRP. After 5months of searching and waiting this just doesn't seem like it's going to happen now. What I did notice though is somehow, prebuilt systems were getting the new graphics cards. But.. the premium price was just not worth it. Enter the iBuyPower Trace 4. At $699 it really is a great deal. At current prices, it is impossible to build a similar system anywhere near this price. The 5500XT alone is going for ~$350-$400 now if you can even find one. No it's nowhere near top of the line, but was a upgrade from the 970. So, I bit the bullet as much as I hated buying a pre-built, there really was no other reasonable options. The thing that's a bit tricky and a gamble is iBuyPower is very careful to not mention specific brands or models, just capacity so you could get a decent SSD, RAM, graphics card, motherboard, and fans, or you could get some unknown junk brand. Actual Specs of the system I received: Motherboard: ASROCK 320m AS CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6core (3600mhz) CPU Cooler: Deep Cool CK-AM209 GPU: MSI RX 5500XT Mech 4gb OC RAM: Adata DDR4-2666mhz 8gb - Single stick SSD: Apacer AS350 256gb PSU: High Power HPG-500BR-F12s 500w 3x 120mm RGB side intake fans iBuyPower branded 1x 120mm RGB exhaust fan iBuyPower branded Windows 10 Home Edition OEM (NO PRODUCT KEY Included) First Impression: Box arrived pretty beat up, not a knock on iBuyPower but either USPS or Amazon warehouse. Fortunately the box was well packed so everything inside was fine. Case is a what I'd call a high mid-range case. It's mostly aluminum, plastic, and surprisingly has a tempered glass side. Cable management is well done. There is a PSU shroud with plenty of room for an upgrade. Case fan layout is not traditional front to back airflow opting instead of a 3x 120mm side intake with 1x 120mm exhaust. This is probably not ideal airflow. There is a magnetic mesh dust filter on top, a slide to remove on the bottom, and another magnetic on the side intake. It could easily house a 360 AIO liquid cooler if you wanted to go that route. The motherboard is a mini-atx form factor. Fair amount of room for future upgrades or putting in a ATX board. There does not seem to be any mounting points for 3.5" HDD, nor is there any way to install a optical drive. The back panel is a bit difficult to remove and put back on, but nothing unusual for this class of case. The power supply is Bronze rated, so that's something, but it's a off name brand "High Power." It is not modular, nor would I really expect it to be at this price. No idea on the quality of this, which leaves me a bit leery. I will likely upgrade this at some point. First Boot: RGB is blinding and obnoxious. If that's your thing, rock on. Personally I couldn't get into the application fast enough to disable it. The fans are running at max RPM (~1600rpm) they are extremely loud. I don't have a accurate decibel measuring tool, my phone app says it's ~56db at about 3ft. It is comparable to a oscillating floor fan, which to me is pretty loud. Beyond that though, the system booted to Windows with no issues. However, it is a OEM copy, you do not have a product key, so I'm not sure what to do if you want to replace your SSD or reinstall the OS. Software: I really appreciate iBuyPower built this as a basic OS install. There is almost zero additional bloatware. I'd give you 6 stars for this if I could. The only caveat here is they did not include the actual AMD drivers, relying on Windows to pick a driver. This means the graphics card could be running less than ideal software. Easy to fix for some, basic users would probably never know. Upgrade 1 (Required): Even with minimal bloatware however, about 70gb of the 256gb SSD is taken up by the OS alone. This leaves precious little room for more than a couple games/additional software. This is the first required upgrade. It's not optional. You will need additional storage. Again, be advised, there is no obvious mounting for 3.5" drives. There is an additional slot for a 2.5" SSD or a m.2 drive in the motherboard. Upgrade 2 RAM (Highly recommended): 8gb of ram is the "minimum" today. There really is no reason not to upgrade this to 16gb of 3200mhz RAM to take full advantage of the motherboard and CPU capabilities, as well as dual channel. I purchased and installed 16gb (2x8gb kit) DDR4-3200mhz Patriot Viper with no issues. There are only 2 RAM slots on this motherboard, so keep that in mind. Upgrade 3 Fans (optional) but this is primarily why I gave it 4 stars: This is subjective, but to me this system is simply too loud unless you're keeping it somewhere far away from your monitor. Going into the bios and attempting to adjust or build a custom fan curve does nothing. I noted that due to the RGB effects, this system uses a fan hub to control it. When a hub is used, often times the PWN fan control of the motherboard cannot work. I was going to bypass the control and just use a fan splitter to the motherboard, but the fans are a weird 5pin configuration specifically for the controller. The controller itself is either powered by USB or a 3 pin connector which cannot do fan speed control. This motherboard runs all 3 pin fan connections at max speed, it cannot be modified. Also note that it has 2 fan pins for chassis fans. Only pin 1 is able to modulate fan speeds when a 4pin connector is used. Chassis pin 2 runs at max speed regardless. I purchased a 5x pack of Arctic F12 PWM 120mm fans (3x intake fans on chassis 1 with 3 way splitter), and a Arctic F12 Silent 120mm fan for the exhaust (Chassis 2 pin). This dropped the noise down to ~39db at 3ft. Optional Upgrade: PSU.. get a name brand with a bit more headroom. Testing: 3dMark score: 5398 In conclusion: So.. I'm fairly happy with this system. No I would not have built one like this, but supply of computer components in early late 2020 early 2021 are just so hard to come by at sane prices right now that this makes this a very good deal. You can't buy the individual parts for less, or even near this price if you can even find them in stock. As it comes it will do 1080p gaming at high settings for most things decently. But, if you try to do streaming, or browsing/workstation stuff, the 8gb of RAM limitation will really start to show. This is the best pre-built turn it on and go I've ever seen, so it'd be a great purchase for your kid/niece/nephew gamer. After upgrades it's a respectable 1080p gaming machine. My cost after upgrades: Purchase cost: $699 RAM: ~$70 Fans: ~$70 500gb SSD: ~$90 Total:~$930

Hey everybody! Just wanted to say a couple things about this computer as somebody who needed something more stable than my couple years old Dell "gaming laptop" that ran a 1050 ti that had to be set to low specs on nearly anything I tried to run. I'm not an extreme gamer. I just want to play Valheim, some MMOs, and a couple games like Stardew or Garden Paws. Particle effects are the devil's friend when it came to my laptop, and really ruined the experience in a lot of games for me. I'm a stickler for a constant 60 fps. For the price, I bought it at $699, $749 with tax, and I do believe that is a terrific value for the mid level computer that it is for gaming. USPS lost my package despite it being one day shipping, but as you can see, it was shipped in the box that declares very proudly that it is a gaming computer in a time where electronics are sparse and being scalped to the extreme. So that one was most likely stolen. Amazon was amazing and had a replacement sent out immediately and that one arrived next day and thank goodness I was home when it was delivered. I do agree completely with the comments here in the reviews: go get yourself some DDR4 RAM. This little guy can run up to 32GB of RAM, (only two open slots versus four), at 3200mhz for those who don't want to do all the research I've put myself through. I bought 2 sticks of 8GB Corsair Vengeance LPX (CMK16GX4M2B3200C16), and that ran me $85, $95 with tax. The store I purchased it from also claimed to have delivered the package, but was most likely stolen as well since the image attached to the delivery was of the driver's feet on a sidewalk that is clearly our apartment complex, but not the road I live on. That or my neighbors got some nice new RAM. I got a replacement the next day. Reminder for RAM, thank you Google for teaching me, is to look for XMP in your BIOS to match the speed it's supposed to run at if it doesn't run at that speed out of the box. :) My RAM usage would idle around 30-40%, and it now idles around 14-16%. Running games like Valheim or Craftopia will run it at 37%, there about. The SSD SATA hard drive itself is 240GB which for most part is fine for me since all of my games are generally under ten gigs, but if I want to install an MMO, well that's kind of out of the question. I spent $59 on sale for a M.2 Western Digital 500GB SSD, (running about 2400MB/s versus the stock which was about 500MB/s) but I'd recommend going bigger with storage you can considering the size of games and media in general these days. This was pretty much a budgetary constraint thing for me. The SSD fits right into the open, available, M.2 slot that is just above the graphics card. Phrasing in the questions/review sections about whether or not this slot was an open secondary slot didn't seem obvious to me until I owned the PC itself, but yes, there is a free slot open for M.2 storage. To note, my PC didn't pop up with a new drive letter after installation. I had to go under Disk Management and add a drive letter to the drive, go into the BIOS, and have it boot with the M.2 SSD that way. Works like a charm now! I want to say that out of the box, the wireless did not work. I had to run an Ethernet from our gateway into it and update Windows before it would pick up a signal on it's own. I was worried that the wireless card was shot, but after downloading a bunch of updates, it finally worked. Same goes for the AMD graphics drivers. Your games will run considerably worse without them so make sure to not only download the Windows updates, but go search out the latest AMD software. So altogether, about $914 for this computer with 16GB of RAM running at 3200mhz versus the stock 8GB running 2133mhz out of the box, and 740GB SSD, I'd say it was worth it. I spent $1,100 on my old gaming laptop that struggled with everything. I've seen comments saying the fan could use an upgrade, but my temps seem pretty good, or maybe I'm used to a laptop running at 80c, but this is low 30s. Most games seem to run stable on medium-high settings unless you're playing something really well optimized like WoW, FFXIV, Fortnite, I'm sure… I haven't tested a million games, but my vote would be you could run the average game on high settings. I do not think Ultra/Epic settings are going to work out, depending on the game. I would say this is great for those getting their feet wet into PC gaming or only play a couple games that aren't incredibly demanding, but for somebody who wants to go all out in 4K resolution, streaming, VR, heavily intensive games, I would say hold out for something else. My husband is currently dropping twice the price on another computer, but he requires the necessary specs to effectively future proof his games. He's also coming from a 11 year old Dell XPS that was not meant for games, so he deserves it. For somebody like me, who wants to plant crops in a game and then maybe open a browser page, it's great. For somebody in the middle who plays a lot of average games and wants a little extra, I would still say it's great. But for those who are seeking something on the higher end or can push their CPU/GPUs to it's limits for gaming, this isn't it. Overall, I recommend it, but know that upgrading it is highly recommended and will pay off greatly. It took the strain off a couple of my games and gave me those precious extra frames back. Hopefully this helps you give you some idea since I like to see numbers change to better numbers when I upgrade. Having to figure out what I needed to upgrade, since I am not the most literate in the language of computer specs, I figured I would write that all here so maybe the next anxious, overthinker who is in the same boat can have some knowledge and rest easy. Just be sure to be home when it's delivered.

I bought this PC back in 2020 when it was worth 3 times its price. She's still running pretty well besides a few replacements. I'd say a good gaming PC to start off with, but there is one thing to be mindful of. My hard drive for my computer blew in the first 3 months after purchase. I lost everything. Fortunately, 3 months wasn't enough time for me to build many saved files and I was a brand new Twitch streamer, so it was pretty easy to resetup everything. I did look into reviews and info on forums. Apparently it is pretty common for the hard drive to blow in the first few months for iBuyPower PCs. So either back up your files, or replace the hard drive all together. I also had one of my fans die in the first few months and trying to replace it with a non-stock fan was a little troublesome due to the differently shaped connectors. I have had two more fans die since (1 after 1 year and the other after 2 years). The thermal paste on my computer now needs replacement after 3 years. All together not bad for a computer actually worth around $700 (though I paid covid prices ;-;).
