If you’re an AMD fan, this Ibuyforce gaming PC may be up your alley, but you’re feeling the imminent new generation of graphics cards. The Ibuypower Y40 has been one of our favorites in recent months, providing stellar costs for serious gaming force (a moment of silence for the $999 RTX 4070 structure that gave the brief impression in December before selling) the latest Y40 reduction yet catching my eye for just $1,649 at Walmart.
Why did this caught my attention? Well, apart from the fact that any construction that has an AMD GPU catches it, there is the fact that it is so well balanced in the specifications and those pieces are packaged in a Y40 construction that we are reviewing.
You can consult our review VCTA R003 IBUYPOWER RDY Y40 by Jacob Ridley to see the large amount of the formula type that Ibuypower can build around the chassis, but necessarily the Y40 is a very designed kit kit kit. Decent reinforcement, intelligent cable management, forged parts, a great chassis and everything at a moderate price. The I I Spotlight here has other specifications, of course, but the quality of the fundamental structure remains.
But let’s move on to the brass collisions, and that is the specifications themselves. At the middle of this build are the 7nine00 hand cannons, the 12-core Ryzen nine 7nine00x and 20GB RADEON RX 7nine00 XT. (Yes, that is 20GB on the GPU – no bit stingy from Nvidia, here. )
This combo, the processor is a bit larger and that the GPU has only a few weeks to be eclipsed through a new new generation, is more than enough for fundamental productivity tasks and, of course, the game of games and in what Regarding the latter, RX 7900 XT is ideal for games with upper soft drink rates in 1440p or 4K in all titles, unless it is the demanding maximum. Well, it is not completely at the level of RX 7900 XTX or the RTX 4080 Super, but does not pay the costs of RTX 4080 Super, here.
And for the price tag, you’re also getting a pretty solid all-round system: 32 GB of DDR5 RAM—fast DDR5 RAM, at that—and 2 TB of storage. (Hopefully system builders are starting to get the message that game installs can be big, these days.)
Plus, vertical GPU mounts glance good, right?If proud of your All-AMD build, why not display it off?
This edition also deserves to serve as a smart platform to upgrade in the future. ), so if you upgrade your graphics card lineup, you deserve to be in a smart place. And if you’re looking for more on the CPU front, the AM5 plug will also let you slap a new x3D chip.
All in all, this all-AMD build is a pretty good for this $250 saving, I’d say.
Jacob got his hands on a gaming PC for the first time when he was about 12 years old. He swiftly realised the local PC repair store had ripped him off with his build and vowed never to let another soul build his rig again. With this vow, Jacob the hardware junkie was born. Since then, Jacob’s led a double-life as part-hardware geek, part-philosophy nerd, first working as a Hardware Writer for PCGamesN in 2020, then working towards a PhD in Philosophy for a few years (result pending a patiently awaited viva exam) while freelancing on the side for sites such as TechRadar, Pocket-lint, and yours truly, PC Gamer. Eventually, he gave up the ruthless mercenary life to join the world’s #1 PC Gaming site full-time. It’s definitely not an ego thing, he assures us.
