Did you make a good purchase with the iBuyPower Y60?
I've been out of the loop recently and not fully updated on the newest hardware. My current ibuypower had at least a faulty power supply and performed okay with the big games. I bought it for 1400 five years ago, and it still works well without much hassle. However, I'm concerned about replacing it now. The new system I'm considering has a strong setup: i9-14900 CPU, Nvidia 4070 GPU, 32GB DDR5 RAM, 2TB NVMe SSD, and Windows 11. I read somewhere that iBuyPower often uses low-quality power supplies in their setups. If this is true, can I easily replace it with a better one?
They seem to be using something specific, but it should be simple to swap it out if needed. It would be useful to examine it, and on the Y60 you should be able to remove the side panel to view the model and specifications.
You can always take legal action, but they'll need to prove under oath that the new PSU or its installation caused the issue. However, most people avoid such lawsuits for minor matters. If this situation were about a car instead.
Full specs please?
So far what you have described is about 2000. You could do it for less if you built the PC yourself and tweaked the components a bit, but that's always true, and sometimes the saving in money is offset by an extra cost in grey hairs and stress when things don't work.
If the PSU is crap, you could replace it. Or maybe they can replace it for you?
It's probably not neccessary to do it for another few years though.
