Is the iBUYPOWER Trace Mesh worth it?

For 1080p gaming at high settings it is a solid value, since the RTX 4060 and 1TB SSD cover most needs. If you plan to play at 1440p or want a long upgrade path, spend more on a newer platform.

Yes. The RTX 4060 meets the GPU requirements for PC VR headsets, and the 8-core Ryzen 7 has headroom for VR titles. You still need a compatible headset and enough USB ports.

How does it compare with an RTX 4060 Ti build?

An RTX 4060 Ti model costs more but adds roughly 20 to 30 percent more frame rate at 1080p and 1440p. The plain 4060 here is the better value if you stay at 1080p.

Can I upgrade the RAM and storage?

Yes. The board supports up to 128GB of DDR4-3200 across its slots, and there is room for additional storage drives. Check the open M.2 and SATA bays before buying parts.

What comes in the box?

The tower, a power cable and a gaming keyboard. No monitor or mouse is included, so budget for those if you are starting from scratch.

Our take on the iBUYPOWER Trace Mesh Gaming Desktop

The iBUYPOWER Trace Mesh is a mid-range gaming tower built around an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 8GB and an 8-core AMD Ryzen 7 5700, with 16GB of DDR4-3200 RAM and a 1TB solid-state drive. It ships with Windows 11 Home, a gaming keyboard, Wi-Fi and a mesh-front case, and it is marketed as VR Ready. The pairing of a current-generation RTX 4060 with an older AM4 processor keeps the price down; the platform is upgradeable to 128GB of RAM but limited to DDR4 and PCIe 4.0. Its latest best price sits near the low end of its recent range, making it a reasonable entry point for 1080p gaming.
