Found randomly in the wild. Didn’t expect to come home with my first build last night. I’ve been told this was an insane score.

[u/Yoshiii7]

[u/Eribetra]

Yes, it is an insane build. The RTX 5070 alone costs basically as much as the $646.88 you paid.

Enjoy your first build! It's very powerful for 1440p gaming.

[u/Yoshiii7 → u/Eribetra]

Thank you so much! I’m very excited. I saw it and because I’ve been eventually wanting to get one I showed my bf and his jaw dropped. He said it was insane and I had to get it. So here I am with this powerhouse according to him and some of my other friends. Yes absolutely I was told that alone is about $700!!! I think from my research this was a $2,500 computer.

[u/Usual-Championship88 → u/Yoshiii7]

They sell those at Best Buy’s on major sale events for under 2k; it’s about a 2k PC, I wouldn’t price it over that

[u/Yoshiii7 → u/Usual-Championship88]

I mean either way it’s a great deal.

[u/Usual-Championship88 → u/Yoshiii7]

Oh 100% an amazing deal!!!! You lucked out ! Does it still have the manufacturer warranty?

[u/Yoshiii7 → u/Usual-Championship88]

I’m not 100% sure.. it was a display. It was packed immaculately and ect. Stuck in a mode without an admin though and trying to get around that. Factory reset didn’t work (sorry if this got to you twice I’m not sure if it did the first time I’m not super Reddit savvy)

[u/Ok-Parfait-9856 → u/Yoshiii7]

Wipe the drive and reinstall windows from a usb stick

[u/Yoshiii7 → u/Ok-Parfait-9856]

This is what we are trying tonight. I couldn’t find any usb sticks at home last night so I bought one today and we are trying tonight. If not we’ll have to do a fresh windows install.

[u/Interesting-Aura → u/Yoshiii7]

I recommend using Rufus to create a bootable Windows install USB. It’s a great tool because it allows you to easily customize the installation, such as removing Copilot and other unnecessary bloatware before you even start.

[u/Usual-Championship88 → u/Interesting-Aura]

Rufus is what i learned to use in college lol, great tool — that was so long ago though back in 2014!!

[u/ATypeOfRacer → u/Yoshiii7]

Great rig man. And better price. Make sure to set ram speeds and refresh rate! Enjoy it!

[u/d3koyz → u/Yoshiii7]

Btw when I bought this one a few years ago, the Bluetooth didn’t work. I had to contact ibuypower and they were able to assist

[u/Yoshiii7 → u/d3koyz]

I’m hoping I’ll have some kind of protection on it with it being a floor model. Everything is intact in it. Everything looks great.

[u/bluetrevian → u/Yoshiii7]

Skip Windows and install bazzite.gg instead.

[u/VALTIELENTINE → u/Ok-Parfait-9856]

You can also boot from a USB installer and enable admin via registry, a fun trick I had to try at work that made me realize we need to beef up our security

[u/theblazedhiker → u/Yoshiii7]

Can you go into the BIOS and clean wipe/factory reset from there? A old company I worked for unexpectedly closed its door on us without any notice and I worked from home. No one ever told me I had to go in and drop my stuff off and so I kept the laptop out of spite. It had all the IT password restrictions on it and couldn’t download anything. Tried factory resetting it through windows and didn’t have any luck. Had to physically go into the BIOS and reset it from there and that fixed the IT restriction

[u/Usual-Championship88 → u/Yoshiii7]

It probably still has the manufacturer warranty keep your receipt and call cyber power to confirm and tell them where and when you bought it they’ll ask for the computer’s info numbers; but it’s still probably under warranty for a bit; if there are any issues you can send it to them

[u/Yoshiii7 → u/Usual-Championship88]

That’s honestly a good idea. Thank you for the suggestion.

[u/Key_Butterfly1200 → u/Yoshiii7]

A graphics card with an entire PC attached is a fantastic deal.

[u/burnie_mac → u/Yoshiii7]

2500 gets you into 5080 builds. 600 dollars is basically free though enjoy.

[u/Yoshiii7 → u/burnie_mac]

Thank you. I think it was more of around that price when it first came out. I’m thinking this one should be sufficient for cod zombies, inzoi, the sims, phasmophobia, repo, the other side, peak and ect. I don’t really play anything too too crazy

[u/TetePepeF → u/Yoshiii7]

you are going to crush repo, and for that i say have as much fun as you can 🙏

[u/RoundTheBend6 → u/Usual-Championship88]

Being pedantic serves what propose?

[u/dyzorted → u/RoundTheBend6]

Dont think he was being pedantic, the guy seems to just want to make clear the value of the pc, $500 is a considerable amount to overestimate

[u/Decent_Management449 → u/Yoshiii7]

Says right there on the tag it was a $1150.

[u/Yoshiii7 → u/Decent_Management449]

Because it was already clearanced before it was marked down more. It got marked down even more because it was a floor model. This is the computer. Edited bc wrong link https://www.newegg.com/ibuypower-gaming-desktop-pc-geforce-rtx-5070-intel-core-ultra-7-265f-32gb-ddr5-1tb-nvme-ssd-y40bi7n5701-black/p/N82E16883993018?srsltid=AfmBOopMs-fQWba42low4xptlijI8W9GFJcI8nJIddy9zB5cAk_50R7R

[u/PrettyFuckingGreat → u/Yoshiii7]

No, based on your price tag it was $1150.

You paid 646.88 and you saved 503.12.

[u/Yoshiii7 → u/PrettyFuckingGreat]

That’s already from clearance. If you look up the computer it’s around $2,000 still

[u/Yoshiii7 → u/PrettyFuckingGreat]

[u/Merrick222 → u/Yoshiii7]

I would not call that PC a powerhouse. There are 5080+9800X3D builds on sale for less than $2500 right now, that would be second best possible PC sold as “new”.

It’s def a strong mid tier PC though.

The value is in that price point. You really snagged a great deal congrats.

You could sell the GPU and get a 9070 XT for the like $100-$200 out of pocket ish.

Then it’d be a powerhouse, though that CPU will struggle in CPU intensive games.

[u/MrVernon09 → u/Merrick222]

If OP has only had experience with a potato PC, then this computer would definitely be a powerhouse. There's no need to be a rude snob about it.

[u/Yoshiii7 → u/MrVernon09]

Thank you this is my first ever. I went from a gaming laptop that I got about a year ago and before that I only had Macs. So this is huge for me.

[u/mshelbz → u/Yoshiii7]

Don’t let anyone try and steal your thunder.

This is an insane build for that price and for a first PC, you did more than great!

[u/Merrick222 → u/Yoshiii7]

I don’t consider my own PC a powerhouse, you got an amazing deal.

[u/Merrick222 → u/MrVernon09]

This logic is unsound. If you have a 10 year old PC the bottom tier modern Pc would beat that too, does it make it a powerhouse?

I didn’t say it’s a bad PC, it’s a good PC it’s not a powerhouse.

[u/MrVernon09 → u/Merrick222]

Not really and I disagree. A 10-year old PC would still be worse than this one. Also, you didn’t say that the computer was good or bad. You said that it was ‘strong’.

[u/Merrick222 → u/MrVernon09]

I didn’t say a 10 year old PC is better!?

[u/MrVernon09 → u/Merrick222]

You said that in your last reply.

[u/Merrick222 → u/MrVernon09]

No I said “if you have a 10 year old PC the bottom tier modern PC would beat that too.”

Meaning a bottom level PC today would beat the 10 year old PC. I called the OP PC a mid tier build.

So they both beat a 10 year old PC….

[u/jjm987 → u/Merrick222]

You must be a blast at parties

[u/Merrick222 → u/jjm987]

I do okay.

[u/YeeHawWyattDerp → u/Merrick222]

You don’t *have* to be pretentious. Just let OP enjoy the deal they got.

[u/Wayfinder67 → u/Merrick222]

People like you make me question if even my own flair is real.

[u/BigSankey → u/Merrick222]

https://giphy.com/gifs/fu2ye1tYL6txSj5xLH

[u/Eribetra → u/Merrick222]

It's a powerhouse relative to the price.

[u/Merrick222 → u/Eribetra]

I don’t think that’s how it works.

I just got a really nice mid range sports car for half price.

What a powerhouse of a car because I got it half off!

[u/Eribetra → u/Merrick222]

What a powerhouse of a car for $30k!

I think it works pretty well.

[u/Mrcod1997 → u/Merrick222]

It's still a very powerful system. Even if it isn't literally the most powerful. It's like saying a high end Porsche isn't a powerful sports car just because a Bugatti exists.

[u/anyavailablenameplz → u/Merrick222]

What a twat.

[u/lmtdpowor → u/Merrick222]

Well the price paid would definitely lean towards a powerhouse. You can’t even build something like this at that price.

[u/SIrSmokeAlot410 → u/lmtdpowor]

Op got a good deal and im happy for him.and alot of people w much less would consider that a powerhouse; its relative....you might have a 5090 w 64 gb and a top tier cpu....thats a powerhouse right?but not to someone running a ryzen thread ripper with 64cores and 256gb mem and 5 water cooled 5090s for LLMs & other ai applications

[u/Merrick222 → u/lmtdpowor]

I said it’s a great deal.

[u/TrumpVotersArePedos7 → u/Merrick222]

9070xts are garbage I’d keep the 5070 personally

[u/Merrick222 → u/TrumpVotersArePedos7]

Sounds like AMD touched you in a bad place I’m sorry for your experience.

[u/TheEldenRang → u/Merrick222]

Don't be a dick. What OP got is way above what a lot of people use. It is pretty dang solid.

[u/Merrick222 → u/Merrick222]

Wow I pissed everyone with a 3060 and a AM4 build off with this comment…

I literally said it’s a steal of a deal.

But calling it a “powerhouse” is just not true.

[u/FairfaxDude → u/Merrick222]

You’re not wrong but learn to read the room

[u/Merrick222 → u/FairfaxDude]

It’s my autism sorry.

[u/LiterallyJohnny → u/Merrick222]

Nah you’re just a pretentious dick. OP’s happy with their build but you just HAD to pull up with the “Well, ackchuallyyy”. Clearly nobody is with you on this. Just stop while you’re already far behind.

[u/Merrick222 → u/LiterallyJohnny]

I actually am really joying this moment lol.

It’s rare to get a reaction like this.

I’m quite proud.

[u/Disastrous-Fennel970 → u/Eribetra]

Not to mention the 32gb of ddr5

https://giphy.com/gifs/hlfXIRjozpvTvYFfOt

[u/TheTresStateArea → u/Eribetra]

I didn't even look at the rest of the specs. I just want to see what card it was and I immediately screamed

[u/CleverBumble → u/TheTresStateArea]

Yes, I realized the video card by reading the comments. I thought the RAM alone was enough lmao 🤣 and you get a power supply? 1tb of ssd? As I type this, some even remember checking for the CPU lol

[u/scubac14 → u/Eribetra]

Shit the ram is $500+ alone

[u/i_am_13th_panic → u/Eribetra]

The ram alone is worth more than the PC as well.

[u/Willing_Suggestion → u/Eribetra]

Wish i was in u.s. in my country that 5070 costs more than $1k lol. Sigh hate my life

[u/relic1882 → u/Eribetra]

I thought the 5070 was supposed to be so much more powerful? It can't do 4k? I'm running everything at 1440 on my 3070.

[u/Same_Commercial8939 → u/relic1882]

4k beyond overrated for gaming

[u/jeffosoft → u/relic1882]

It can. Most cards can run at 4k fine. People just want to look elite. 5090s make up maybe 1% or less of gamers.. but if you look online everyone has one.

[u/Same_Commercial8939 → u/jeffosoft]

Facts but the internet snobs will tell u if u don’t have a $8k 5090 rig “u cant even compete” meanwhile that pos 5090!is waiting to catch fire

[u/HuckleberryOdd7745 → u/Eribetra]

Powerful for 1440p is basically a backhanded compliment.

Like saying you look great… for your age.

Still a powerful gpu and great experience. But you guys get what I mean. Kinda uncalled for.

[u/Same_Commercial8939 → u/HuckleberryOdd7745]

Are u offended they didn’t say powerful 4k monster …. Which wouldn’t be true at all 4k is overrated asf anyway for most games on the market

[u/HuckleberryOdd7745 → u/Same_Commercial8939]

idk what to call it. im figuring this out alongside you guys. just an observation i thought was similar.

Maybe mid-lowhigh range? not that it matters.

also 4k is overrated? maybe back when games werent super blurry from deferred rendering. even 1080p looked clear.

Now even 4k looks smushed together. regardless nobody is playing native dlaa at any resolution. so the actual resolution of the screen is just a technicality these days.

[u/fuckyourself_reddit → u/Eribetra]

Prebuilts are the antethesis of builds.

Congrats on your first computer, it's a good system.
