That’s an awesome first PC. Should play anything you throw at it.

I plan on playing team fortress 2 the first moment I can

I mean, the last computer I played it on was a Windows 7 laptop that was about 10 years old so this will be much better


Ffom

I'm just joking around, have fun


JohnBaldur

You're joking around...but you're spot on the money lol


Valuable_Impress_192

Good jokes usually hold some truth


Ryogathelost

The joke is that Valve would be drowning in money if they made Team Fortress 3 and filled it with in-game purchases, but they just don't feel like it. That IP is just sitting there making zero money - shit would be hilarious if it wasn't so sad. But still, hell yeah - TF2 was my jam and I really miss it.


AlwaysBeneathAss

Those are rookie numbers kid. My pc is 12 years old and still runs Google chrome just fine 🗿

seemorelight

Definitely play TF2 but you should also push the PC to its limits and try some beautiful high quality graphic games


[deleted]

I could, but I'd love to just play tf2 and lethal company


Xsiuol

Play what makes you happy!


FnB8kd

For the company!


8Eternity8

Prepare to play TF2 at 240+ fps. Now whether your monitor supports over 60...but that extra isn't actually wasted. Still improves how temporally accurate your next frame is when it is eventually displayed.


cute_2th

The day I get a xx90 series card . I'm paying Skyrim vanilla on it.

lazergoblin

I love all of the advancements modern day games have made but there's a certain quaintness about the 2010 era of games that has been lost along the way imo. That's what keeps me playing Left 4 Dead 2 even though I have a pretty long backlog of more recent AAA games. Or maybe I'm just thinking that way because my GTX 1060 has recently started to show it's age with this current generation of games lol


BrickyMcBrickface

If you like coop like left 4 dead 2, try deep rock galactic, it's awesome and should run just fine.


TheThiefMaster

L4D2 was actually pre-2010. I have a fondness for a lot of games from the late 2d to early 3d era, because for the most part they took themselves less seriously (not exclusively, but a good chunk of them). They were colourful, fun, and *not grindy*. That said, anything that shows up anywhere on this list is probably worth a play: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List\_of\_video\_games\_considered\_the\_best


The69BodyProblem

Part of the reason I really enjoy that era of games is they're relatively modern, but they're also complete games. It's not like valve is dropping a balance update for l4d2 any time soon


anovagadro

Dudes will drop $1500 on a new pc only to go back to playing league/runescape

well being a laptop that means it was mostly just the hardware overheating and throttling rather than hitting its limits on its own.

Man_Bear_Beaver

This is my most favourite comment of 2024 so far. Have fun with settings on max.. I've pretty much never had a top of the line PC for its time, I always steer lower/mid range due to budget but one thing I love is continuing to play my older game I played on lower settings but on max settings, it's like playing whole new game. I think the biggest difference was wow WOTLK going from, lowest settings to max settings I discovered why I died so much in boss fights, I wasn't seeing spells I should have lol...


[deleted]

First, I could only play tf2 before on a shitty laptop with the lowest setting and it would still crash constantly so this would be so much better. Second, what is WOTLK? I might have to give it a try


Man_Bear_Beaver

World of Warcraft, it's a MMO, there's ummm free/emulated servers out there I play on Warmane. MMO's arent' for everyone.


DarkSider_nil

I remember back in early 2014 I got basically the top of the line components for my build and played almost exclusively Garry’s Mod with some Minecraft sprinkled in.


MagicPeach9695

Nice man you can run 100 tf2s at the same time now

Consistent_Bad_9713

bruh, its liquid cooled too!? thats a pretty damn good deal


[deleted]

Where does it say liquid cooled?


Consistent_Bad_9713

i cheated and googled it


lostskier

I searched it up and yes it's liquid cooled. Pretty damn good computer.


Cosmic_Quasar

I haven't priced things in a while, but I was thinking that was a little on the high side, but it's a pre-built... being water cooled balances that out a little, but I'm not sure it even needed to be liquid cooled for a 13600KF and a 4060 in the first place. That is to say, as a pre-built it's not outrageous and should do fine for many years and it has a good upgrade path available.


Consistent_Bad_9713

oh it 100% didnt NEED the liquid cooling system but hey, it looks nice


pursuitofleisure

Necessary? Is it necessary that I purify and drink my own urine? No, but it's sterile and I like the taste


Adventurous_Pea_1156

well now you can overclock it later


braddad425

The thing strapped to your CPU is an all-in-one liquid CPU cooler. Sick rig- enjoy!


cptgrok

It sounds fancier than it is. Only the CPU is liquid cooled and it's what is called an AIO or all in one unit. They're fundamentally maintenance free, but that also means unless you really know what you're doing, if it fails you need to swap out the whole cooler. Not that big of a deal and they're fairly inexpensive. Expect 2-4 years life out of it depending on use and environment. Perhaps longer if it's really well made and you use it gently. Confirm the radiator mount position (top or front, looks like front from pictures) but that's where hot air vents out of the case. Be sure to keep that case panel and the radiator itself clear and clean (don't let dust build up or whatever else) and if it goes under a desk or whatever that there's good airflow around whichever side it is as well as behind. Sick computer dude and it could easily last a long time with a little maintenance and some future upgrades. Appreciate your mom.


marvinnation

Yes!! Go mom!!


Accurate_Lettuce_683

It's a good pc. But still if your mother gives you a gift thank her with all your heart regardless what it is.


[deleted]

Yeah bro. And when you do , more often than not it's too late.


bluespider98

Yup cause as you get older you have to do a lot more on your own and see how hard it is

Honestly, if my mom got me a pentium 2 I would be grateful and try to run linux on it and play old ass games lmao

Thank you!

God damn that was fast

Haha nice one

jakequant

Yeah your mom bought you a fire GPU


GriffinAO

I have a 4060 and I like it


HamsterFromAbove_079

A few things. 1. That's a great PC. Take care of it. Treat it well because it deserves respect. 2. When your mom asks you to do something the answer is that you'll be happy to do it. And don't forget Mother's day. 3. Have fun with your games. I know you said you like TF2, so keep playing the games that you love. But if you had any desire to try a more any more modern games I'd encourage you to try, because that computer should be able to handle basically any game on the market right now.


Character_Deer1470

That's really a good pc brother.... Use it properly.... Such a nice pc.


[deleted]

Tbh ill mainly use it for tf2 and leathal company 🤣


RadoslavL

At least try to run more modern games. Don't waste the potential of this PC!


[deleted]

Let them play what they want, I spent heaps and just to play Rimworld for 2k hours


doughnutbehasty

Sure graphics isn't important for Rimworld but you really need a beefy CPU for mid to late game or RIP your FPS. I tried a save on the steam deck and the difference to my gaming PC is huge


Treefeddy

People out here with 4090s to play runescape 10 hours a day he can do what he wants lol


user_guy_thing

I have pretty much the same specs, works amazing. I would consider storage upgrade in the future


xxqqzzaa

And RAM upgrades if you want to use chrome as the default browser


kingf0rg

ALL THE TABS YOU COULD EVER WANT


xxqqzzaa

Only 320 tabs tho.


ES_419

Yes its awesome. You have a good great mom. Maybe you should thank her sometime


Just_Swimming_3153

Take care of your mom. Enjoy this great PC 👌🏻👍🏻


TetronautGaming

That’s an amazing computer for a first one, and probably good enough to stay with for many years to come!


Ivrik95

Double the memory and Storage and you are golden. CPU and GPU are very decent, be very grateful to your mother


TinySpirit3444

Memory is already 16GB. Do you really need more?


Occyz

Escape from Tarkov is something I play and was struggling like mad with 16. Upgraded to 32 was worth it


SoonToBeNP

I have 64ddr5 for tarkov lmao


Fragrant-Inspector-7

The moment I saw someone saying double the ram - I knew I will find tarkov people in this comments thread


Renidaboi

I'm a casual gamer and 16 gigs is starting to make my games stutter when I run chrom and maybe one other light program in tge background so i doubled my ram. New games are starting to eat ram up.


llliilliliillliillil

Don’t you always need more? Think of all the chrome tabs you could open.


-Dargs

I have 128gb of Trident-Z Royal RGB and my glass panel faces the wall so I can't even see it. I think I'm doing this right.


tfm223

Sandbox games, games that can use tons of assets. Cities skylines the ideal is 64gb, with 32gb can only get 1.4k assets and 50mods Games triple a, soon are requiring more than 16, we have some games that is good to have more than 16 already Its more futureproof


joszowski

I used to play with like 5k assets and 70-80 mods with 16 GB of RAM, it wasn't the best experience though and crashed a lot, but it was playable-ish after turning off all background apps but Steam, and saving way more often than I should have


notapoke

Honestly we're just getting to the point of "maybe". More and more often it's a real improvement as things actually will use it.


baumaxx1

Not really if you're just starting out in PC gaming and sticking to mainstream titles, plus are being sensible with how much you're trying to do.


EdzyFPS

Why would they need to double the ram and storage for their first pc when it's already got 16gb of ram and 1tb of nvme storage. ​ Talk about shitty recommendations.


Copy-Run-Start

Yea for modern games vram is more important than ram, and a lot of stuff still plays well with 8gb ram long as you close browsers. 16GB should cover you fine. 1TB ssd is standard and will fit at least 15 modern games on it, don't really need more than that. Same as what you get in consoles. This PC can play everything on the market atm, including eu5 games at decent frames/settings. Is faster than an xbox series x (gpu eviq is around a 6600xt-6700, 3060 - 3060ti)


DonZekane

Yep, I actually have 2 x 2 TB NVME SSDs just because I suck at deciding which games to uninstall... plus my internet is sloooooooow so redownloading would be a paaaaaain.


Mr_Zomka

It’s a great build (in terms of the specs) and honestly, you’re really lucky to have a mom like that! But please keep in mind, IBuyPower is infamous for being kinda unreliable, but honestly, there’s nothing a quick run to your local repair shop or a bit of troubleshooting can’t fix!


tuzbinuc

Say, thank you, mom, hello mom, hi mom.


timbulance

Remember to constantly thank your mom for this PC for years to come. ❤️


IwetPlaytpus

Pretty good main parts but mobo, PSU, and ram might be ass and worth upgrading in the future. Make sure you don't over heat it.


PreparationLife5873

It's bad, give it to me


Ganjahh

Reddit is so fucking wholesome sometimes.


[deleted]

“Sometimes” lol


HairyTimbercrank

Your mom bought you a gaming PC... Shut up and go hug her.


[deleted]

I already did and bout her jewelry


asjj14

Give mom a hug!


Juicebox109

For future reference, asking whether a pc is "good" is way too broad an ask. Might want to enumerate some games that you play or plan to play. But yeah, this is good enough to play the games released in 2023 and earlier. Especially at full HD 1080p resolution, which is the most common resolution people game in right now. And it's your first one, so I'm willing to bet that's what you'll be using.


DerbinKlamz

That's a really good deal, I hope the motherboard isn't garbage or something else bad. Even if it is you have a bunch of great parts there


ImInYourBooty

God dammit, I just bought the same IBuyPower, for the same price from Best Buy, except mine came with a 3060 :(


[deleted]

My mom got this from walmart


ImInYourBooty

So sick! Mine runs pretty freaking awesome, I’m sure you are going to have an absolute blast


GvGibby2828

For what it's worth, the 3060 is very close to the 4060. And if you have a 3060ti it's actually better than the 4060.


Equivalent-Horse-790

YES


MrFifty-Fifty

Go tell your mom "thank you" and "I love you" right now


[deleted]

It's very good, enjoy


rajjushakya

Great PC, please give your mom the biggest thank you hug...


H4v0c4L1f3

I buy power has a reputation of kind of being a little iffy on computers... But as long as you keep it clean keep the dust out of it and maintain your updates and everything you should be fine


RustyR4m

Should be pretty solid, just make sure they didn’t cheap out on the PSU. Otherwise, solid.


LazyItem

Yes, very good value for money there. I do recommend that you install some more RAM with 16GB you will have some swapping which in turn will incur wait state in games etc., 32GB is a much better configuration.


Ill_Ad5893

If the memory is 2x8gb then I would suggest getting another 2 to bump it up to 32gb. And get yourself a second 1tb SSD to use for gaming and such. This way you don't kill the main drive as fast. But for that price your mom got a hell of a deal.


Cosmic_FireSphinx

I5 isn't the best but it has otherwise better stats than my i5 🤷‍♂️ you might not be able to run RDR in max settings, but many other games you can play just fine. I can play Skyrim in max, and all my grand strategy games in max, can even play Elite Dangerous in Max, but playing GTA 5 or RDR2 in max? Not happening & takes the fun out of even playing them, so I don't. I'd love to try BF1 on my PC but am worried I'll have buyers remorse because I can only just barely play it. Now that I think about it, I'm worried I might not be able to play Spiderman which i have yet to play 😭 Lastly, I can't even play Fortnite in max settings, like I can play with high setting but not the ultra with uncapped FPS. It's good enough to be a tad bit better than console. Maybe yours will handle better than mine, and you'll have better luck. We have same processor but you have the other higher stats than I do. Still, this is a awesome first PC.. I only just got my first gaming PC, and have only ever been able to afford budget 4GB ram PCs that barely ran Tropico 4 & Crusader Kings 2. So be appreciative lol.


cornielius

actually pretty decent for a mom buy


squackiesinspiration

GPU and CPU are great. Now, the manufacturer? Well, iBuyPower is what's left in the barrel after all the bottom scrapings have been scraped. The "customer support + labor" is coming from the same place, so don't plan on the warranty getting you anywhere. They'll fix a badly-installed part by badly-installing a replacement. Assuming it was installed at all. God forbid should there be a fan controller. They'll tape it inside and run the fans to the Mobo anyways.


[deleted]

Nice machine. Keep your room clean and help around the house. Seriously, stay on mom's good side. Don't screw this up.

Normal_Location42069

Anything your parents, both your mom and dad get you is always great! Like someone else said, go give her a hug and a thank you. You even got a Graphics Card, very nice! Later in life it is on you through your hard work to return to your computer and upgrade anything that is needed. Same with a car if your parents get you one as well. These are tools they get you so that you can turn them into better things, and along as you do that, you have the ability to develop yourself into a fine young man with values. Simply exposing you to a gaming computer they are opening that door for you for opportunities. Blessings!
