Excellent PC as long as you know what you're doing
The specifications for this PC vs. price is what drove me to it in the first place, It's an excellent PC with some initial flaws, To say the least I'm still giving it 5 stars even though I it had some flaws in the beginning right out of the box... I mostly use this PC for VR games such as VRChat, and it runs in Ultra quite well, Mostly getting 80-90 FPS depending on the world/avatars. But make sure to change your SteamVR settings to 100% graphic setting instead of 150% by default as that will tremendously reduce lag if you plan on using it for VR. The flaws: If you're planning on buying this PC, Make sure you're ready and comfortable enough to modify it. The first modification is easy enough to do, See the front two fans? Yeah... They're NOT pulling in air in, They're pushing out! For whatever reason, CyberpowerPC builds their PCs this way. This is a very ineffective cooling method as it will heat the PC up more than it should, Which is why you see a lot of comments on here about the PC running hotter. Switch these two fans around to intake by tugging on the cable to give it more length from the motherboard and voila! PC runs at least 10 Celsius cooler! BUT.. We're not done yet! Remember when I said you need to be comfortable upgrading the PC.. Well.. See that CPU cooler in the middle? Yeah.. That's trash! I easily reached dangerous temperature levels with that thing, So do yourself a favor and immediately install a better CPU cooler like the one I'm showing in the pictures before even using this thing for gaming or 3D modeling (I was hitting 100 Celsius temps in Unity!!) ALSO, The stock CPU cooler started leaking fan bearing oil after the 2nd day! Complete trash! UPGRADE ASAP! CPU cooler I'm using is a Noctua NH-U12S Redux and comes with pre-applied thermal paste to make the job easier! Runs close to 20 Celsius colder with this new CPU cooler installed! Third upgrade/option is the RAM.. If you really want to future proof your build and also make sure you're getting the best performance there is.. Upgrade to the 32GB Vengeance Pros! Ever since I did it gives Windows better headroom to do it's thing! Most of the time when gaming it's already using close to 14 after the upgrade, So if you want better performance, Upgrade! Overall, Prepare to put another $150 into this PC to make it safer, and add better performance temperature and specification wise. Also my personal recommendation when it comes to gaming on Windows 11 is to turn off HAGS & Game Mode, if you don't know what that is, That's okay. All I'll say is you'll get better gaming performance, Especially for VR, if you turn these off. Click on Start > Settings > System > Display. Scroll down on the right, and click on Graphics for Windows 11. Windows 11 users need to next click on Change default graphics settings. Toggle the Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling option OFF. For Game Mode, Click on Start > Settings > Gaming > Game Mode and toggle Game Mode to OFF. I hope these suggestions helped to give you an upper hand in getting the max performance of out this PC as possible, After 4 months of currently owning it, I just wanted to share my experience so you all can get the best out of it as I did:) Enjoy!

Justifiably worth it, it's almost criminal :)
Instead of a paragraph I thought touch on the major points of my experience with this PC. This is reviewing it vanilla before any upgrades/mods etc.... PROS --Runs all PC games Ultra settings-- --NO BLOATWARE-- none. The provided drives are so clear of any it is easy to maintain anything you might add to this wonderful machine. --Case is GREAT at displaying each component. (In turn it is easily upgradable in the coming years if you want to continue with latest and greatest. --With Windows 11; starting to feel more like a PC you tailor into your own experience. Feels like we are doing are duty to own a REAL capable PC. --Ease of upgrade. Case is not showing off some absurd design just to make it difficult to upgrade. --Included keyboard and mouse are actually a joy to use.( I always buy custom ones regardless (but even typed this using the provided keyboard) --Fans seem to keep it's cool--> but might benefit from an upgrade in the years to come. CONS --Windows 11 takes some getting used to if you were into WIN 7, (however) a step forward from (Windows 10 trying to simplifly everything into a touch pad.) --It is a large case (great for upgrading but not everyone's taste) --Fans are not as quiet as I prefer, and RGB not easily accessible without 3rd party software. --For the enthusiast, there is room for upgrades (however easily accessible in this case --No physical manual included other than quick starts --When on sleep blinks a small light I could do without I was quite impressed with this addition in my belongings. Every home should own one in my opinion and this one in particular is not only a price point you can live with; It's a long overdue step to take if you haven't yet. Inside and out everything is in some form a direct result of PCs. Start today, so your part and purchase one. (this so happens to be the best at it's price point.) --------------------don't delay------------------------- (btw, this is one of my first reviews of anything. So it obviously made an impression) Good luck with yours!

Great starting Gaming PC
Are your new to Gaming Desktops? Are you thinking of buying or building one? Take a guess at what I picked. The CyberPowerPC has a powerful intel Core i7-12700F, 16 GB memory and fast 500GB SSD with more space on your 1TB HDD. This is my first Gaming PC. I was using Google Stadia before to play Dead By Daylight. As most Google products it was shut down. I needed a powerful PC for playing Dead By Daylight on Steam. The price to try to build this PC was going to be way more money. That's why I went with this PC. As you can still do upgrades to it later. The price was $1,067.13 ro's The case it BIG You can upgrade it. Comes with Gaming mouse and Keyboard. Has RGB Fans and GC has a RGB Light Power and Fast Handles 3 monitors no issue hasn't tried 4 Lots of USB's! Con's The case it BIG (This is a Con and a Pro) The Fans are nice but kinda loud. The fans change color but dont think their a way to pick the colors only on the GC. Would like more USBs on the front.

Just got it on the 5th
So far here's the good and bad. Good: - Runs literally any game on high/ultra and still is over 70 fps (for me anyways, I'm not sure about others who play high intensity games) - Very fast and smooth gameplay - Looks very nice and has SO much room inside it - Very clean inside with alot of room for upgrading Bad: - Fans are pretty bad (decent for regular use) - Fans are too loud even when there is no game playing - Power supply is kind of weak but it seems okay so far - Ram is fine but could upgrade if you want - Mine came with the GPU unseated (not plugged in all the way) and a loose peice rattling in the case - At 3rd start up it wouldn't turn on. I opened the back and moved the bundle of cords around and then it did start up. So something is apparently loose in the wiring All in all: Very much worth it before prices shoot back up. Alone it should last you probably 2-4 years. Upgraded? probably 2-6 if you're like me and care more about stability and performance rather than high graphics or 4k. (I play everything on medium settings with high fps lol) In the pic: I added a usb fan for temporary use until I change fans and threw in a cheap light strip for holiday colors :D

Great Entry Level Gaming PC
I decided to switch from console to PC and have had this pre-build for 3 month's now and I am very happy with the overall experience. I got it on black friday for $400 less than asking price and have put that much into it on upgrades. Pro's - Great entry level PC, Easy to Use, RGB Looks Great, Aftermarket parts so easy to upgrade in the future, Run' s most games on 1440P at 100 FPS High/Medium Settings. Con's - The biggest struggle with this PC out of the box is cooling. I suggest flipping the side exhaust fans to intake and buying a better CPU Cooler. I bought the Artic Freezer 34 eSports DUO its $50 and fit well in the case, it brought down CPU heat by 30 C. The Cooler Master is trash/cheap and the benchmarks are hitting at critical levels 90 C. Note* It seems like this Prebuild is made with different parts the majority of the time so you will have to do your research on the parts you get for upgrades in the future. Seems like everyone received different variations of Motherboards & GPU's. FYI this is the case BTW took some digging to find it. LIAN LI PC-008 Dynamic ATX Mid-Tower Gaming Case. I definitely recommend this PC if you can pick it up On Sale. $1000 - $1100.
