iBUYPOWER Gaming PC Computer Desktop Trace 4 9310 (AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6GHz, AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT 4GB, 8GB DDR4 RAM, 240GB SSD, Wi-Fi Ready, Windows 10 Home)

CPUThe CPU is a AMD ryzen 5 3600 Matisse and it goes on a am4 socket onto your motherboard. It's a good choice for gamers and streamers as well it doesn't give you everything that amd ryzen 7 would, but for the money it's a good processor.Main boardThe main board is a micro ATX, the name of the board is a ASRock a320m AC, there's only two slots for ram and could hold up to 32 gigs of memory, it comes with a 2666 MHz 8 gig u-dimm and it's recommended to upgrade adding either another 8 gig of RAM, it has two pcie express a 3.0 and a 2.0.It comes with two barrels integrated onto the board in the back side so you can hook up your antennas for the Wi-Fi, it also has one ps/2 connector, two USB 2.0 and and 4 3.0 USB female slots, it also has one HDMI port and audio ports as well.The video card is a ASRock AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT it's a as four gigs of memory ddr6 SRAM 128 bit it's a decent GPU I am able to play in Ultra settings in the most recent games.Chassis or computer caseThe chassis is a mid-size ATX case that has a cover for your wires and for your PSU, there is no drive Bay in front of the case so no it doesn't open, it's very spacious and enough room for upgrades. There is a application once you turn on the computer, so you could manipulate the settings of the rpg in your fans, on the top front case you have a filter mesh that is made from some sort of alloy metal and it holds with a magnetic strip underneath it, you do have two USB ports 3.0, a power button and two slots for your headset and microphone.The PSU or power supplyThe PSU has enough for a two 16-pin wheel card and for if you ever wanted to add a backup storage, it's 500 watts good for any future upgrades that you're willing to make and has a generic name named, 'high power' it is a 80 plus bronze it's pretty decent.The goodIt has good parts overall some of the parts are future proof and you have enough space to actually upgrade your rig in a near future if you decide to, you do have space for one more 2.5 size hard drive would be mechanical or SSD with a sata port connector.I was able to play the latest games without any lag, was able to use multiple applications at the same time, I put that PC into many rigorous tests and overall is a decent computer, the hottest that CPU has ever gotten was 32° c.The badI was able to stream using obs and using different applications on my computer and even if the stress test that I set up for this PC and got rather good results, what I had trouble with was streaming the latest games and using OBS at the same time.I had lags here and there, but if your casual player you would notice, and this was when I was streaming and playing a game in ultra settings, so it's a very decent computer for the money.My thoughtsI gave this computer five stars because it worked out of the box, it came with a keyboard and mouse even though I'm not using it cuz I prefer my own mouse and keyboard but it's good touch, I'm able to play triple a games in ultra settings with this computer and also multitask using different applications.the only problem that is very understandable is the one stick of RAM 8 gigs and the size of the hard drive that is that SSD, but for the amount that I paid it was a bargain.RecommendI will recommend upgrading the 8 gigs of RAM to either another 8 gigs to make a complete 16 or replace that 8 gigs and add 2 sticks of 16gb so you could have the amount of gig of RAM that your motherboard can handle.Another recommendation would be upgrading or adding a secondary hard drive onto your system so you could save all your files onto that hard drive, SSD SATA hard drives are very inexpensive I've seen one terabyte going for $50 so it's a really cheap upgrade.SpecsAMD ricin 53600 3.6 GHz8 gigs of RAM ddr4 2666 MHz memory500 watt high power 80 plus bronze PSUASRock AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT videocardASRock main board a320m/ ac

Starting a new hobby Sim Racing and I Was looking for a budget PC that is under $1000 that will be able to run racing sims such as Dirt Rally 2.0, Assetto Corsa, etc. I did several days of research, keeping in mind the budget. This PC is winner for me. It has nice processor, good graphics card and an opportunity for HD and memory upgrade later on. You need to set your expectation with the price that you are paying. In my case I know that the SSD is not sufficient for today's games and applications. As long as you have that mind set, you'll be happy with this PC for the price. You can't build a PC this cheap that includes the components and Windows 10 preloaded and warranty to boot. I ran Dirt 2.0 on ultra high setting with no issues. I am waiting on my DOF Reality Motion Simulator to see how it will perform then and I will update.One thing I found on my PC upon opening the box is that there is suppose to be a foam or some type of packing inside the PC to prevent the GPU from moving and prevent damage during shipping. This was missing. Luckily nothing got damaged. Another minor issue is the ports on the motherboard was not lining up on the case port opening. No big deal, I just reformed it a bit.So if you are on a budget and looking for a good PC, this one is a good buy.

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.
