This is my 2nd Cyberpower PC. Both of them are rock solid. The 1st was an i9 13900kf, it still is as powerful as when I first bought it. Intel ended up making 2 generations of jacked up CPUs that needed several versions of instructions (flashing the bios) in order to keep the CPUs from becoming potatoes. Other than that it has been an amazing computer. The Ryzen 9950x3d seems rock solid so far as well. I’ve had it about 3 weeks. No problems at all. It has a base clock speed of 4.3 ghz add 64gigs of OC’d 6400 DDR5 ram set to Expo 1 and it gets things done lightening fast. The 4 tb SSD Kingston SNV3S4000G is really stable and have added a 4tb Samsung 990 Pro M.2 (that BestBuy had on sale) for even more storage and speed. The 5080 16 gig card processes everything above what I had expected. I was running a 4070 Ti in the previous system and the 5080 smokes it. If you are a gamer you have DLSS in 4 stages using pcie 5 slot for video cards which will enable DLSS4, if it is not pcie 5 it can still run DLSS but it won’t be DLSS4 from what I’ve heard and read. I had seen a handful of people claiming that they were running over 240 fps and thought that they were out of their minds but using DLSS Super Sampling I have had “artificial” frames per second on Ark for instance, hitting 400-700 fps. Note: Not all games or programs are capable of running DLSS. You can find a list of programs and games that can use it, there’s more programs than I will ever use probably. You can either do a search for Apps and games capable of utilizing DLSS 4 or you can go to Nvidia site and look. The 9950x3D CPU is a powerhouse. Base clock speed is 4.3 ghz and can be OC’d. It doesn’t really need OCing though. The 9950x3D outperforms the Intel CPUs in most tasks and benchmarks by a huge margin, even multi threaded tests it is comparable to the i9 CPUs speeds for multithreading - that’s incredible imho. I decided to take a gamble and try this 9950x3D since I’m basically an Intel sort of person but this AMD processor so far has been a lot less trouble. It simply works like a high end sports car right out of the box. AMD keeps on making CPUs like this while Intel sits on their hands year after year I may become an AMD kind of person. The ram is amazing, it works with Expo 1 and 2 no problems. Both sticks have passed Memtest. The case does an excellent job of keeping the heat out plus the clear case looks really nice especially with Signal RGB running the lights. The peripherals are really decent as well. I wasn’t expecting much tbh but they’re not junk. I tried to build a computer close to these specs and the cost would have been about 1k more money so here I am with this amazing machine. The Cons: Asus board normally means junky Asus software. I really used to like Asus but their maintenance software can drag your PC down to a crawl and can cause all kinds of problems. Asus Armoury Crate, Asus software Suite and even the Asus RGB software can jack things up. I use Signal RGB for controlling the RGB and for setting up the fans because Asus software is a joke. The Signal RGB uses about 2% resources while the Asus uses upwards of 45% or more of resources - even in the background. Step your game up Asus and hire someone who can actually create a decent software package for your amazing mobos. Another “con” is the location of the USB front ports (on the side of the left front leg) but this can be moved/modified or you can buy a card to adds more usb ports from 2.0 - to 3.2. I haven’t taken a hard look at the board’s schematic yet to see if there are other locations to add usb ports in more convenient locations. The front of the case would have been fantastic. It’s just a minor inconvenience anyway considering everything else in this package. I’m very pleased with this product. I’m also very pleased with CyberPower, they knocked it out of the park yet again. CyberPower is quick to help and had sent me new case fans using overnight shipping on the previous computer. The customer service was excellent. I have never had a problem with BestBuy and will be doing business with them again. Thank you BestBuy and associates for delivering an undamaged product and for everything else. You guys are amazing!

Great computer, tempratures stay low, fits in an ikea desk. At the time of this writing great price compared to all the individual components on their own. The m.2 drive was wound a little tight causing a bend (I re-installed it) so id put it as a 4star but am happy with everything else so 5 it is. Great balance for gaming and productivity with the 9950x3d chip and 64gb ram. 5080 also has lots of overclock ceiling if you dabble in this.

So far so good.... I like how this, compared to an i9 14 gen does not crash on a game from 1998. This is the exact PC specs I was looking for, and luckily I copped a model when I saw it come out. Does everything it does, I'm not too knowledgeable on building ur own PC and I needed something that can do AI models and Deep learning and a Ton of gaming. This handled it really well. Knock on wood no crashes!!
