Customers are positive about the excellent performance and impressive graphics capabilities of this gaming desktop, frequently citing its ability to run games smoothly at high settings. They also appreciate the value for the price and the ease of setup. However, customers are negative about the noticeable fan noise and some concerns regarding the motherboard and power supply quality have been raised.
So before I discuss this PC further, these are the specific parts in my system: -Thermal Take 600 watt 80+ gold certified power supply -Gigabyte B450M DS3H WiFi motherboard -Ryzen 7 3700x 8 core CPU -Custom Cyberpower PC Liquid Cooler All-in-One (Radiator + 2 exhaust fans, one on each side of radiator) -MSI GeForce RTX 2070 Super Ventus OC 8GB -Ballistix (Red color) DDR4 ram 3000mhz 8GBx2 (16GB); expandable to 64GB RAM -4 Apevia RGBW case fans (2 intake fans, 2 exhaust fans on each side of All-in-one CPU radiator for the liquid cooling.) There is also room to put 3 more case fans on the ceiling of the tower. -2 TB Western Digital HDD (Not sure about RPM) -250GB Seagate SSD (non-NVME) There is room to put a NVME SSD right onto the motherboard ^_^ -Eluna 242V White custom Cyberpower PC case with tempered glass side panel. -Windows 10 Home 64-Bit Your parts will vary due to what was available at the time when they were building each PC. All in all, I got some really good parts ^_^ So I bought this online on January 6th and picked up in my local Best buy in Dublin, CA and it is absolutely phenomenal! It is plug and play right out of the box. No bloatware and other garbage pre-installed. It comes with Windows 10 Home pre-installed. It also comes with a custom Cyberpower PC wired keyboard and wired mouse. The mouse has RGB and it is actually a great mouse. The clicks are smooth and you can adjust the DPI if you need to. It's got three side buttons on the left side. The keyboard itself is serviceable. I believe it is a membrane keyboard, so it is quieter. Great tactile feedback with each button press. I'm currently using my own keyboard and mouse though and I gave my Cyberpower mouse and keyboard to my brother since he needed them. He was quite happy with the quality and he just uses them his own computer for work and other things. I've owned this now for over a month and I've been able to play everything at Max settings from Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Resident Evil 2, Ace Combat 7, Final Fantasy 14, Doom (2016), Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus, Red Dead Redemption 2, Disco Elysium, Shadow of the Tomb Raider (Ray Tracing!!), Monster Hunter World, the list goes on. And yes, before you ask, this PC is more than enough to play Destiny 2, Apex Legends, Fortnite, League of Legends, World of Warcraft, CS:GO, and other multiplayer games at Max settings. I have a Sceptre 2560x1080P 21:9 Ultrawide 30 inch curved gaming monitor at 200hz refresh. In all these games at a resolution of 2560x1080, I'm getting anywhere between 125 fps to 200 fps with Max settings. I opted with a 1080P monitor mainly since I wanted to push fps to it's max with this card to match my monitor's refresh rate as much as possible and I believe the 2070 super does an excellent job in that regard. Also, many people state that 1080P is better for multiplayer due to stable frame rates but I'm not sure how true that is. The 2070 Super is more than capable of 1440p, but your fps at Max settings will more likely be under 100 fps at that point, which is really neglible. As long as it is above 60 fps, you won't truly notice it all that much. This card will also let you play in 4K with high settings, (also max settings, but your frames will be a bit lower, based on the frame rates stated online) which is pretty solid. However, if you do plan to do 4K, I would suggest an even higher GPU such as the 2080 TI. With this PC, I am able to play Shadow of the Tomb Raider with full Ray tracing capability and Nvidia DLSS on and my fps is about 80-97 at all times. The RGB LED fan color can be changed to different settings by pushing the button at the top of the case next to the USB ports. One press and release will change color settings. Holding the button down will turn off the LED on your case fans. If they aren't turning on, then the cables probably got disconnected. Simply open the side panel on the back and connect them back into their sockets. At idle, CPU stays at 25-30C. At idle, GPU stays at 23-26C. Under Load, My CPU never gets above 70C. Under Load, my GPU gets up to 81C (which is pretty hot), but it'll be fine as long as it doesn't get up to 90C or something. The manufacturer states that it can go up to 95C before it shuts down to prevent damage to components. I believe it starts to throttle at 83C, which is close... You can always adjust the fan curve with MSI Afterburner or add more case fans to the top of the case. On another note, the fans in this case are pretty quiet, even while gaming, which is a plus! The 2070 Super will start to bend and sag over time. This is not a big problem since cards of this size are made to bend due to their sheer size and weight. To fix this issue, I bought a GPU brace online and put it on my card. No more sagging and bending! The only real reason I did this is because there are some case wires attached to the motherboard underneath the card. I didn't want the GPU to bend over time and put the case wires in danger by putting the GPU fans in direct contact with the wires!! I don't think that will ever happen, but I like my own peace of mind so I put a brace on it. If you love it, put a brace on it! =p To reiterate, the GPU and CPU temps can be lowered by putting 3 exhaust fans on the top of the case, which is why there is space up there for more fans. I was looking to build my own PC around the same price point as this one using PCPartPicker. After seeing this available at my local Best Buy, I couldn't resist. I know what you're thinking, 'OMG, it's a prebuilt PC!!' Sure, that may be true, but it's got good parts and I may have lucked out. Hopefully you're as lucky with your parts and build as I have been. I bought this at $1350 pre-tax. At the time of this writing, this PC is on sale for $1200 at BestBuy, which is an absolute steal! GO GET IT!!! So I hope this review helps you guys decide. In my opinion, with the price for performance cost of this PC, CyberPower really knocked it out of the park with this one. I wrote this long-winded review to do this system some justice. I've been having a great time with this PC. This gaming rig is totally worth it. The fact that it has quality superb parts and how much upgradability space is on offer, you can't go wrong. Thank you for reading this review. Happy Gaming! =)

I usually build but Best Buy was running such good sales I bought this. Pros- Price- if you build at newegg or a builder the same setup is 1550 or more. Video Card- parts vary but mine was an EVGA black dual fan. Thanks cyberpower. Ram- Team Group PC-2400 meant to OC to 3000. Although its shipped at 2400mhz so youll have to OC in bios. Bios- Not locked. You can OC and everything as if you built. Not like other builders. Ahem.. Asus that give you an OC chip and lock the bios. Mobo- Its a version of the Asrock pro Am4. Not top of the line but good. Asrock is a small subsidary in Taiwan of Asus. Most of their boards are good. Its a 100 dollar board if you buy a complimentary from Newegg. Plenty of fan headers, an addressable RGB and static led hookups. Overclockable and looks nice. Fans- I like them. The controller is a button on the case. No remote. You can get them to work with the mobo if you rewire correctly but their setup serves my purpose. They are wired to a pcb controller in the back of the case an powered directly by molex. The run full wired this way but are still quiet. So I left this alone. Some may want to change the controller but to each is own. Mods- Case is huge and some of these preferences can be fixed if you dont like it. Unlike other prebuilts this one has room to upgreade and tweak if you know what your doing. Or can be used straight from box if you dont. AIO- It looks cool. Most aio are built by Asetek or coolermaster in prebuilts. Then rebranded. I dont know which this is but its quality and quiet. Cons- PSU. Apevia 600 watt 80 plus prestige. One of the best Apevia money can buy but I dont do that to my computers. I switched to a Corsair 850x plus gold. Now the Apevia will power the system at stock and will "probably" be fine. With the sale I saved about 300 dollars buying it this way. So I used a 100 more and put a top of the line psu in for peace of mind. Conclusion- If your a power user its cheaper to buy this and mod if you dont have time to build. A noob can plug and play. I test called support and they answered in 5 mins. Good luck getting Dell to do that. When getting a prebuilt always check your parts. Other than PSU this passes the test. (And the psu given works just I wouldnt push it with). Overall- A 4 to 5 star buy but know what you want it for.

I've heard the horror stories of pre-builts before but I just couldn't pass up this deal. I've built four gaming PC's before this and always said I wouldn't buy a pre-built, because I bought into the negativity surrounding them. But I couldn't build this for the same or cheaper, and I actually picked this up same-day as opposed to waiting on a bunch of parts from multiple places and still having to assemble it. At just over $1K with taxes, taking a chance on this was 100% worth it. I couple this with a 1440p, 144Hz G-Sync (Dell S2716DGR - also from Best Buy) monitor which is hands-down the best decision I've ever made gaming-wise, because even though the RTX 2070 Super doesn't push 144 FPS on modern AAA titles, the G-Sync handles the dips beautifully. For 1080p, this will run almost anything at 100-144+ FPS no problem. I did remove the included 2TB HDD since I'm not a fan of HDD's, and I replaced it with a 1TB Samsung Evo 860 SSD. Definitely worth the hassle in my opinion. Overall a super awesome system and no complaints thus far. I would definitely consider CyberPowerPC again!
