iBUYPOWER Pre-Built Gaming PC 2022 TraceMR 234i: Setup and Tips
18Just some advice I would like to pass along for those setting up or getting ready to set up your new pre-built computer.
I did have some issues getting the computer but make sure to do your homework, the 3080Ti seems to be the best value for your buck as of now. I also think the Amazon credit card could earn you another 5% in rewards if you have one. Now Amazon did send me the wrong one first, I had to then return it, wait for a new one to show up but the amazon product support was amazing! If you have dealt with other retailers like Newegg for a return, you might understand the frustration. Even after opening up the second computer to find it busted in parts, a bent frame, and a couple rivets broken, I do feel i will be able to fix it. It is still functional and no issues have shown up for which I am happy. I also lucked out and got a high quality graphics card which I am thankful for. Only issue I seem to have now is just trying to get windows to activate, sometimes that takes a few days, so I figure I will wait until next week before contacting support again if the activation isn't working.
If you do decide to buy something that I featured, I do get a percentage back in rewards from Amazon if you use one of the following links as I am part of their Amazon Associates Program.

Thank you, I know the video was kind of rough and long, I hope to get better at it over time. Unfortunately, i found my tripod with phone holder after filming all of this :(
Remember check your RAM, Put a Heatsink on the NVME drive, Secure your cables and make sure they are seated, replace the CPU thermal paste with fresh paste and increase those fan speeds, a cool computer is a much more reliable computer!
