Just a quick update on my iBuyPower Fallout PC. As you recall, I bought a gaming computer in early March 2019 at a reduced entry price point of $710.
I knew going in that I had to replace or upgrade the interior components, so buying cheap, with its basic parts, was really the way to go. I’m still very happy with the original build, but obviously I just wanted it better. After all the upgrade, the Fallout Computer will land in the $2,500+ range… which is an expensive for a computer, but not unheard of for a full gaming PC.
The original basic computer will actually run and work just fine for the majority of light gaming users. However, if you want to play modern games, you do need to upgrade the video card.
The basic computer, right out of the box, will able to run any applications you can throw at it without any problems. Even games will work great, granted that you don’t run them at the highest/ultra setting, but you should be able to run most games.
I’ve ever own an iBuyPower computer before, but based on my experience, it worked out just great. I’ve heard bad things about the company, but I didn’t experience any of their problem… especially getting such a “cheap” gaming computer at around $700 originally.
To summarize, I love the iBuyPower Fallout Computer, it’s the best computer I’ve ever own… and highly upgradable. You can go as cheap or as expensive as you like, there’s enough options for every need.
So here’s the breakdown of the computer parts (and the price I paid):
