Windows 11 has been something of a watershed for PC gaming. Since its release, Microsoft has introduced a ton of new features, enhancements, and performance options—that's in addition to the fact that it was designed to run more efficiently at the outset.
iBUYPOWER's RDY Element Hybrid Pro II truly makes the most of this functionality. With a liquid-cooled Intel Core i9 13900KF CPU and MSI GeForce RTX 4090, it's got the specs to blow nearly every other gaming PC completely out of the water. And that's just one of the many reasons you should think about picking one up for yourself.
1. No matter what you put it through, it still runs cool
The Hybrid Pro II's CPU and GPU already represent some of the best hardware on the market. But throw liquid cooling into the mix, and there'll be nothing your system can't handle.
Whether you're streaming, playing the latest release in ultra HD, editing video, or all three at once, the Hybrid Pro II runs like a dream. See, the RTX 4090 ordinarily runs quite hot and requires a massive heatsink to cool. Thanks to the MSI Suprim X’s built-in liquid cooling, the card can maintain full boost clock speeds even after heavy usage.
Better yet, the system ships with a CORSAIR iCUE H115i ELITE CAPELLIX 280mm liquid cooling system for your CPU, you can count on maximum turbo speeds for the i9, as well.
2. The case looks absolutely stunning
Power isn't the only reason to pick up this PC, either. There's also the iBUYPOWER HYTE Y60 RGB Gaming Case. Featuring a 3-piece panoramic tempered glass design in lieu of a single side window, the Y60 lets you see your build the way it was meant to be seen.
After all, what's the point of investing in a ton of cool RGB lighting for your hardware if you can only see it from a single angle?
3. It's packing some top-tier hardware
iBUYPOWER's experts built the Hybrid Pro II to be the best system possible, with hand-picked, top-tier components that were already limited in quantity the moment they hit the market. We already mentioned the powerhouse CPU and latest-generation GPU—but they're far from the only high-end hardware under the hood.
Any system this beefy will naturally need a motherboard that can keep up. This is something the ASUS PRIME Z690-A does masterfully with AI-empowered overclocking, cooling, and noise cancellation and enhanced power management. You won't have to worry about being held back by your RAM either, as the Hybrid Pro II sports two 16 GB DDR5-5600MHz Kingston FURY Beast RGB sticks.
Everything's kept online by a fully-modular CORSAIR RM1000X PSU, and a 2 TB SSD ensures you'll have plenty of space to store your games. The system also comes with a PCIE 4.0 riser cable with a specialized protective shroud—the first of its kind, and made specifically for the Y60 case.
4. It's far easier than building your own system
Some people enjoy the process of building their own PC. We'll admit that there's a certain satisfaction to it, sort of like the feeling you get after finally figuring out how to build literally anything from IKEA. On the other hand, some of us have neither the time nor the energy to spend multiple hours fiddling around with hardware.
With that in mind, you'll be happy to know that the Hybrid Pro II is plug and play almost directly out of the box. While you'll still have to install your graphics card (shipped uninstalled to protect it during transit), everything else is already up and running. It's a welcome alternative to having to boot into BIOS eighty times in a row to figure out how to get things working.
5. It's competitively priced
We've saved the best for last. This ready-to-ship system is available for $4,299, and also comes with a three-year standard warranty for labor and a one-year warranty for parts. In other words, roughly the same as it would cost you to build the system yourself from scratch—if not less.
Unfortunately, supplies are currently limited. If the RDY Hybrid Pro II is in stock, you can purchase it directly from iBUYPOWER. And if not, you can subscribe to email notifications so you're the first to know when more are made available.
