CyberPowerPC - Gamer Supreme Desktop - Intel Core i7 - 16GB Memory - 2TB Hard Drive + 128GB Solid State Drive - Black/Blue

I'm been a a regular PC gamer for over 10 years where I rotate through a primary MMO and then 2-3 others when I need a change of pace. My previous PC was an older Intel Core 2 Quad Core processor. At the time, (8 years ago) it was just about top-of-the-line. Since then, I've replaced every part on that old PC except the processor. It was getting to be time for a change. I could've build my own, but didn't want to take the time for part research and assembly. I also wanted a warranty for that just-in-case scenario. After a few weeks of researching here at BestBuy.com and other PC websites, I chose this machine. It had what I wanted at an affordable price. ORDERING No problems with the order process. I used my BestBuy program info and got points. Clicky-click-click and I was done. SHIPPING & PACKING I was able to track the shipping status online and stayed at home on the day of delivery since I had to sign for it. UPS didn't get there until 6:30pm, but that's not the fault of BestBuy. The PC was packed securely and didn't have any damage en route to me. SETUP Since I already had my old PC in place, set up was quite easy. I just took out the old machine and put this one in it's place. It even detected the dual monitor display and adjusted the settings appropriately. The only issue with the set up process was authenticating Windows 10. For some reason, the authentication code on screen didn't match the sticker on the side of the PC. I re-entered the code under the Windows Properties and [AUTHENTICATE]. Then it worked correctly. APPLICATION INSTALLATION I want to use the SSD as the Operating System drive and for other apps/files necessary for the PC to run correctly such as Symantec Anti-Virus. The 2TB drive would be for the gaming applications and other apps like MS Office, DropBox and my printer software. I had to be careful during the installation to select the correct drive letter; either C:\ or F:\. ONGOING FUNCTIONALITY No lag at all. The PC starts up and logs to Win10 in less than 30 seconds. I've cranked up the graphics on the MMOs I play to the MAX and they are still performing great with no lag. My Frames Per Second (FPS) is in the mid 60s-70s depending upon the textures being rendered. The GTX 970 is a rockin' video card! I even toyed around with the MSI Command Center Overclocking Utility and got the processor up to 4.4GHz, but it's not necessary. Games, apps and web run without issue. SUMMARY If you're looking for a quality gaming PC that can handle just about anything you install, this is the PC to get. Quality components for a reasonable price. You will be able to use this machine for several years and even upgrade components along the way as needed.

Buy it. Just do it. I spent a very long time researching which computer I wanted to get. I was going to build my own. With the specs I found in this computer, it was about the same cost... except of course all the time I saved by having one built for me vs building my own, and now I have a nice warranty and cyberpower PC support. I read every single review before buying this, and the reviews are very accurate! Let me start with the parts. I was so happy with what I got. My graphics card is MSI brand, so I was pretty happy. The dragon logo is LED and looks really cool. The motherboard is gigabyte. I was not too happy with that at first, but it seems to be fine. It is also red and black and has some really nice red LEDs around it so it looks neat. This is the model I got GA-Z170-Gaming K3 The blue fans look nice, but I think if it was red they would look better to match the motherboard. Not a big deal, it still looks cool. The case is OK. Its nothing fancy. I was going to get a really fancy case but for the price I can't complain. Its very... airy? So I know the air flow is really good. Nice big window to see the parts inside. First impressions: Packaging was spot on. Well done. Easy directions and I felt it was taken care of. The keyboard seems cheap but I have my chroma razor mechanical keyboard so dont need that anyways! The mouse was better quality than expect, good to keep for a backup if you already have a gaming mouse. Cable management: Very nice! All the cables have black around them, so it looks sleek and is not messy at all. I was impressed. Sound: It is a little on the louder side, not in a bad way. It sounds as I would expect. I know its keeping things nice and cool. Not much different than having a desk fan on all the time. Starting it up: FAST. I would say within 10 second it goes from power on to ready for me to do things. The SSD does not disappoint. Using the computer for a few days now I have nothing bad to say about it. My games all run on high/ulta settings. I have mostly just tooled around with League of Legends (get about 400-550 fps) and Elder scrolls online is maxed out and runs beautiful. The computer never gets hot, it stays nice and cool. I was happy there was basically not bloatware on the computer. Like others have mentioned, no wireless card. Im just using ethernet and no issue with that. The CD rom drive is LG. It does what it does but is VERY loud. Lets be honest, these things are getting obsolete anyways so I could care less. I would recommend getting a nice monitor if you want to take advantage of the power of this computer. I ended up getting a 144hz monitor. Asus 24" VG248QE. I got it refurbed to save some money and it almost brand new. Also, I can say that CyberpowerPC support is great! I had an issue with windows activation (which ended up not being a problem at all, lol. It was just slow to activate to the servers I guess) and I had zero wait when I called, the rep took my info and we conversed via email after that. Back and forth speeds, not wait 24 hours for a reply! He was friendly, helpful and almost was like I had my own tech support person that was responsive when I needed it. This is good to know if I have an issue, I know they can help. And didnt appear to be in India! If this computer comes back in stock I highly recommend you act on it fast. You will not be disappointed! This is a GOOD VALUE PC for what you are getting.

I have three parts to this review. The first is the experience with Best Buy, the second is observations about CyberpowerPC and getting the computer up and running and the last is the computer itself. First of all, I bought this computer the first time and when I picked it up from Best Buy and brought it home the computer would turn on, but I could not get it to work with any of my monitors (DVR-I or HD input). I brought it back to Best Buy and explained the situation and asked if the Geek Squad could take a look at it. The representative at Best Buy was very courteous and professional and explained that they would have to charge me for the Geek Squad to take a look at it, but that I could return the computer and order a second computer for no additional cost. They did offer to exchange the computer for one that they had in the store, but the store did not have any PCs in stock that came close to the specs of this PC. While I was frustrated by the need to wait another 3 weeks for the computer, I didn't want to pay the Geek Squad to look at my brand new computer so I agreed to return the computer and reorder a new one. When I finally received my new computer, it was obvious to me that it must have been a returned device. It was apparent that the computer box had been resealed. When I took the computer out of the box, everything seemed in order. However, I noticed that the 7 & 9 keys on the number pad were inverted. The number pad works perfectly, it's just a minor annoyance. When I went to register my Windows 10, the registration system did not recognize my product key that I took off of the sticker on the side of my tower. I called CyberpowerPC customer service to get help and was on hold for almost 40 minutes without talking to a representative. During this time I updated and restarted my computer. When I tried to register my Windows 10 again, it automatically worked. However, I noted that the visible alphanumeric characters did not match the code on the side of my computer. I wanted to speak to a rep at CyberpowerPC to get my product key in case I needed it in the future, but grew frustrated with the extended wait time. That all being said, the computer works like a dream! I am thrilled with the speed that the computer is able to load programs, start up, and run online video games. I would (and have) recommended this PC to friends. I also like how CyberpowerPC rewards you for registering your computer (1 year antivirus through McAfee for free) and doing a review (gaming headset). I know I would not have done a review if not for their incentive. In summary, great PC once I got it up and running. Definitely a product I would look to purchase again.

I did my homework and watched for a sale. Then while everything I had been watching for on the Best Buy site was still marked "sold out", this computer pops up out of no where. I could have gone to the Best Buy store and had a sales person special order at regular price, but I waited and it paid off. What I Bought... CyberPowerPC Gamer Supreme, ( This System Is Liquid Cooled ) it has....Intel Core I7 6th Generation, 16GB memory, 2 TB Hard Drive + 128GB SSD, Windows 10.....Model SLC8040B. This system runs very smooth, and responds very quick. Very fast start up. Lots of room for future expansion. Not loud, but you can hear it running. Has no wireless card (knew that going in) will add later. The case is big and the blue light is pretty cool as well. Be careful taking the foam packing out of case, and check all connections before start up. I am very happy with this system so far. Word Of Advice...Do Your Homework and know what you want before actually buying. There are so many different computer builds for sale its confusing. Also get the Geek Squad 3 Year Protect And Service Plan. When you buy your system it will only cost you around $200.00 dollars. It covers unlimited virus and tune up. One time at the computer shop and you pay around $100.00 bucks. If you deal with the manufacturer or amazon etc. you will no doubt pay for shipping and insurance to get it fixed and then can have fun waiting to get it back. If you take it out of the box and right off the bat you have software, or hardware problems it might be better to just take it back and get a replacement. If I have any future problems I will take it into Best Buy and give it to the Geek Squad. I will try to stay away from the phone service. You can spend hours on that phone fix it game. Call to get info., but try to stay away from phone repair. I called Tech support at CyberPower and was told by a recording that there was a long wait so I asked for a call back. They never returned my call, or maybe the wait was really, really, really long. Did I mention to check all the details before and after buying your system? Check your service contract as well. Cross all your T's and dot all your I's and you will get what you want and will like it. The learning curve can cost you money.

Okay, I purchase my first version of this PC through the Best Buy website, and was SUPER exited when it arrived, only to have the system completely crash within the first week of owning it. I took it into my local Best Buy and they were very helpful in getting it returned, although I now had to wait three weeks for a replacement unit to be shipped. I figured why not, because anyone can get a lemon. It happens. So I finally get my 2nd PC, and the fan in the back makes this grinding sound every time I start it up. So I call CyberPC, and they send me a new fan. Hopefully this would be the end of my ordeal and I would now just have a good working machine.... Nope. So six months on, and the machine is running okay. I have a SUPER modded version of Skyrim running on it, not to mention a plethora of other games and everything seems to be okay. Wake up this last Saturday, and the machine will only boot to the MSI BIOS menu. Finally get to speak to CyberPC Tech Support today, because they aren't available on the weekend, and they say it "could" be that my SSD drive failed. So I switch the cables between my drives, but still get the same result. BIOS Screen, and nothing else. So they say they'll send me a new Hard Drive, only after I pay to have the bad one shipped back to them first. Seeing as I'm not totally convinced that it even is the Hard Drive, I'm not that eager to ship that back and wait the two weeks it will take for them to get that drive and ship me a new one, only to find that didn't even solve my problem. I take it into my local Best Buy again to have the Geek Squad look at it, and they even said they couldn't figure out exactly what was wrong. They even had it boot from a CD, and it still went back to the BIOS screen. Best Buy took mercy on me and allowed me to return this hunk of junk for a full refund, so they're the real heroes here. Yes, some people seem to be having luck with this system, but it's be a total pain for me, and I'm hoping this review makes someone think twice before dropping their cash on it. I wouldn't recommend CyberPC to my worst enemy.

This computer worked well out of the box with only a few minor problems. It has high enough specs to play any modern game on high settings. The OS was installed properly on the SSD and computer boots up very quickly with no problems waking up from sleep mode as some reviewers said they encountered. I ran into a minor glitch when I tried to switch from the initial Windows 10 trial key to my actual one but CyberPowerPC's customer service agents were able to quickly solve it. My main issues with the computer were 1. its relatively small SSD (128GB) and 2. its odd assortment of extra cables, and 3. A dead HDMI port. 1. I think, since this is clearly a gaming computer and most gamers would likely want to put at least a small number of load time intensive games on the SSD, it would have been nice to have at least a 256GB SSD. 2. It is odd that the computer has many extra SATA power cables but not a single extra SATA data cable despite the fact that it has a bay for an additional HDD or SSD. SATA data cables can be purchased for ~$5 but it is strange that they would provide an excessive number of SATA power cables without even one SATA data cable. A more balanced mix of cables would make more sense. 3. It appears one of the HDMI ports is non functional. I am still testing it but I cannot get any signal from it across multiple devices. The computer has two HDMI ports and I only need one for my monitor but it is still annoying to have a dead port.

I've been researching PCs for a while now and given the reviews of this one and the price I decided to give it a go. When the PC arrived it started very fast, 15-20 sec start up. However, it was difficult to increase the display resolution above 800x600 stating that windows could not accommodate a higher resolution. A day later i finally got it to go to 1920x1080 . I had installed WoW as my first game. However it played at 2 fps and defaulted to "low" settings. I took the PC into geek squad and as it turns out.. the graphics card wasn't registering at all and it was using the Intel integrated graphics processor. They told me the card could be bad, or worse the PCI slot on the mother board. The store didn't stock the MSI GTX 970 so they couldnt swap it out. After hearing about the motherboard I decided to do a "return exchange" since I was still within the return policy. Cyberpower is a good company but not perfect. However, im giving them another shot. I hope i just happened to get the fluke of the group.

Having a soon to be teenage gamer put a gaming PC number one on the shopping list this year. It has been almost a month since we purchased the CyberPower PC. It has been all that was hoped for by my son since christmas day. It is very fast and loads immediately when turned on as a result of the solid stage drive combination. I paired it with a 27 inch HP monitor and the graphics are amazing. It took me a while to set it up because I could not get a picture and/or sound. The reality was that I was hooking the monitor and speakers up to the wrong outputs in the back. There are 2 sets of outputs because this machine comes loaded with upgraded sound and graphics cards so you have the mother board outputs and discrete outputs. I eventually figured it out but the instructions could have been a little clearer for novice like myself (maybe a picture? worth a thousand words) The internal lighting in the tower is really a nice touch my son loves and I have to admit looks pretty cool just like in the picture. So if you are looking for a great computer for school and games this is it!
