Customers commend the Gamer Master Gaming Desktop's strong performance and excellent price, particularly praising its NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 GPU. Many also appreciate the build quality and included RGB lighting options, although some users note that the fans can be noisy. A few customers reported needing to upgrade the power supply.
I am extremely happy with this computer. The tower came a day early. The box was really beat up when I picked it up at the BestBuy store so I was worried. However, CyberPowerPC knows how to pack a tower so it was in mint condition. Set up is incredibly easy, just need a philips screwdriver to take off the glass panel to get rid of the packaging on the inside. But most people seem to have that. The setup guide they give you is not related to this computer in particular but it's similar enough to get by. Mouse and keyboard are fine, the mouse is good but I'm not a big fan of the keyboard. I'll probably keep these as backups as I already had a mouse and keyboard. Pros: - 3060 graphics card - A significant array of RGB settings with two buttons - Price is amazing for what you are getting - Plays the games that I have tried on it so far with excellent speed and quality (SW:BFII) - Sleek, clean, easy to pick up and arrived early Cons: - Microsoft is not automatically downloaded (see below how to fix) - Fans are loud but I am able to drown them out with my headset or speakers. I used the steps in this link: https://support.cyberpowerpc.com/hc/en-us/articles/360014683394-How-to-activate-windows-using-Digital-Key-Activation and it did not accept my installation key. From there I called Microsoft Support: (855) 801-0109 and was able to get it installed. A bit of a nuisance which should be taken care of before getting to the customer but at least an easy fix, but did not take me very long. I knocked it down a star because I would have preferred having a better CPU (which I would have been willing to pay a higher price for), not having Microsoft pre-installed, and would have liked having quieter fans. However this is an excellent computer and I would recommend it to anyone especially at this price point.

I bought this PC and have had it for about a week and it is stellar so far; it has been performing just as it should on games; haven't experienced any throttling or bottlenecking at all. It achieves the same performance as any youtube benchmarks with the RTX 3060 + Ryzen 5 3600. For the value of this PC right now during the ongoing shortage it is a great value and much, much cheaper than other pre-builts from more reputable companies. Mine came with a Gigabyte version of the RTX 3060 with 3 fans so they did not cheap out in that department, although I think this is random and have seen other pics with EVGA RTX 3060s. The Ryzen 5 is a very good performer too. Of course, this comes at the cost of cheaper components in other areas. The CPU cooler is pretty loud and the CPU still tends to run a little hotter but never at the point of overheating. It takes some getting used to, or you can replace it for a better cooler for cheap and still have a bargain. The PSU, motherboard, and RAM may also be of a cheaper spec however this hasn't caused any problems yet. The build quality of the case itself is very nice, and the RGB controller it comes with is very versatile. It has a wide range of colors and gradients. Overall, I'd recommend this to anyone who doesn't want to risk building a PC or anyone who needs an upgrade during the GPU shortage. The GPU although not the most powerful of the 3000 series will last you; it plays pretty much any game out so far at 70+ FPS ultra settings 1080p.

The CPU is kinda weak being a ryzen 5 3600, however the GPU is amazing at this price, especially during the great graphics card drought of 2021. The fans are all pretty quiet even when running at near their max speed, and the RGB adds at least 10% extra FPS (I feel the need to mention this is a joke incase someone's mom is reading this review- the rgb just makes it look cool). I put a couple extra fans on the top vent of the cage to increase the airflow a bit. Not sure if its totally necessary, but should help keep things cool and it adds some extra lights. I do wish the ram sticks were RGB, however this would have likely increased the price and the current memory is fine as it (just a smidge boring). The CPU cooler would make for a good upgrade down the road (I get cpu temps up to 50C at idle). It was shipped well without any dislodged cables. The cable management was overall pretty good, but nothing amazing imo. Overall this is one of the best prebuilt bang-for-your-buck PCs out there. (Note: the fans at the top of the case did not come with the computer. They were purchased seperately. The case did have easy mounting holes for them)
