Possibly one of the best deals in tech right now
This system is astounding, especially for the price. On the open market you'd struggle to buy the GPU and CPU for the total price of this system, and you get a lot more than that for your money here. I know not all of these systems will be identical, but I can at least share what I got in mine: GPU: EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 FTW3 ULTRA GAMING Mobo: MSI Pro Z690-A (four NVMe slots!) RAM: TEAMGROUP T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4 32GB Kit (2x16GB) 3200MHz CL16 Wireless: Unlabeled Asus PCI-E card SSD: 1TB WD Blue NVMe HDD: 2TB WD Blue Interestingly, my cooling configuration is different from another reviewer's here. I'm not sure if he added fans, or if he just got more than me. Shouldn't matter too much, I've got 5 fans up front in a push/pull config with the rad sandwiched in-between, then it exhausts out the back and passively out the top. For what it's worth, the system is dead quiet most of the time, but I can just barely hear it when I'm gaming. Once the game sound kicks in I can't hear it anymore. The case is quite striking in person. I thought the front was going to be glossy cheap plastic, but it's actually metal, and not glossy. The side panel comes off with four thumb screws. It's a bit annoying to take the side panel off, but once the PC is set up how I want I'll rarely need to take that panel off. Feel free to comment and ask questions. I'll answer everything to the best of my ability.

Awesome value, but airflow could be much better
The product itself is great - Given the market at the time of this writing, it's one of the best deals you're going to get on a PC with these specs. To those having reliability issues such as the computer not waking from sleep - make sure you update the drivers - particularly the intel chipset drivers and the BIOS. It's been rock solid for me. For those wondering, the 3DMark Time Spy benchmark with no optimizations/overclocking resulted in a 16691 score, which is very respectable. You should be able to run just about any game out there at 4K 60+fps with very few exceptions. I do love the fact that there isn't any bloatware (other than standard Microsoft stuff) on the system. I generally build my own PCs but since it's cheaper to buy a pre-built nowadays than to buy the parts individually, I chose to go with CyberPowerPC, and kudos to them for not putting a bunch of nonsense on there. -------------------------------- The only reason I have to give this a 4/5 stars is due to the poor case design which leads to poor airflow and high temperatures. Don't get me wrong - the case looks beautiful, the picture I included doesn't really do it justice. Unfortunately, the AIO mounted to the front panel is extremely underutilized due to the design of the faceplate - there is a small crevice where some air can be sucked in by the fans, but the airflow would be FAR better with two fixes: the front of the case should be a mesh design to take maximum advantage of the AIO for intake, and fans should be installed on the top of the case to help pull heat away from the CPU. I know some buyers have been getting lucky and having their systems come with some fans mounted on the top, but mine unfortunately did not come with that configuration. -------------------- Bottom line: this is probably the best price to performance ratio for a PC you will find on Best Buy, if not pretty much anywhere. It has REALLY good specs for a very reasonable price. There are computers going for over $3000 on Best Buy that this machine is superior to. Better temperatures would easily make this a no-brainer 5/5 stars. I've been considering either putting some fans in on the top or even buying a new case and throwing everything in there, and even then with the added cost it would be a worthy purchase.

How are these not sold out?
I was very hesitant to buy a pre-built gaming PC. I have heard so many horror stories of people receiving builds with incorrect components and faulty hardware. But all of my concerns were put to rest as soon as I got this thing up and running. The first thing I did was have a look inside just to make sure everything was still seated properly and plugged in. After I removed the protective shipping material that was inside, I immediately noticed how clean it all looked. All of the wires were neatly tucked away, and it just looked so pretty. I'm no expert when it comes to computers, but I have built a few myself over the years. I consider myself to be a perfectionist, and I was blown away at how neatly it was all done. Next, I booted it up and verified that all of the advertised components were inside, as well as their manufacturers. And I was once again very pleasantly surprised. I won't go into detail about the components, but here they are for those that are curious for what came in my system: -Processor: Intel i7 - 12700KF -Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 -Motherboard: MSI Pro Z690 - A DDR4 -RAM: Team Group Inc. 32GB DDR4 -Storage 1: Western Digital Blue 1 TB Blue NVMe -Storage 2: Western Digital Blue 2 TB HDD Also, this PC also included a really nice mouse and keyboard, along with a remote to control the LED lights in the case. Again, for those that care, here's what I received in the box: -Keyboard: CyberPower NOHI 01 Wired Color LED Keyboard -Mouse: CyberPower M1 Elite Wired Gaming Mouse As for performance, this thing can handle anything you throw at it. The case along with the fans and AIO cooler keeps everything where it should be. Even after playing the newest and most graphically intensive games for hours on end. I was able to run Halo Infinite with everything turned all the way up EASILY at over 60 frames per second. I don't do any video editing, but I'm sure this could handle most programs with no issues. Overall, I don't have any complaints. I noticed my monitor would seemingly go dark at random. After a bit of research, I figured out that this was because a power saving setting was turned on. After I changed it, the issue went away. That is the only negative experience I have had thus far. Best Buy had the PC ready for pickup on the day the app said it would be ready. I was in and out in about ten minutes. Super fast and easy, per usual. I would strongly recommend this PC to anyone looking for a powerful new gaming setup. Next time I need to upgrade, I'll definitely be back for another CyberPower. 10/10 would buy again.

Ran great for 8 hours… Now it’s a doorstop
Good selection of components. Seems to be well assembled There was some minor damage to the sheet metal on the case, and one of the plastic feet was broken off. Terrible airflow. You have to remove the front cover, and even then, all of the heat from the box is being pulled up through the CPU radiator, which is now mounted on the top with its own two fans, effectively just sucking the heat from the box up through the radiator. Booted OK and ran great day 1 for updating and setup. Day 2, it just dropped video output after 8 hours of running fantastic, but now it just boot-loops without loading bios, ever after a CMOS clear and re-seating all components. So back it goes Probably won’t buy another one because of the heat and design issues, but I will look at their other boxes to see if there’s something equivalent without the issues.

Great Value.
Great Value for the price! Doom eternal at 140 FPS @ 4K Ultra settings. Just gets warm so I removed the sevens that are magnetized or easy to remove. There is 3 total.
