I would give this pc a 5/5 but I can’t. Let me start with the GOOD. Everything about this PC is amazing. From storage to cpu and gpu. I’ve run every game (as expected) I’ve thrown at it at Ultra settings with astonishing frame rates. New modern warfare online 1080p it sits closer to 200 FPS depending on the given map. 120 at lowest id say. Escape from tarkov the poorly optimized dog? Usually the 120fps max ur allows on ALL maps. League of legends? Obviously a less intense game but you get the point. Now my dilemma. I got this pc on the Black Friday sale. At 1050$ I was on it immediately at my local Best Buy. The water cooling unit makes a RATTLING noise. Now I’m leaving this comment to hear back from Cyber power. Is this normal? It doesn’t affect performance it just sounds really bad. It’s quite loud too. For me I play while my son is sleeping so it wakes him up...(infant). I CAN return it but I’m not sure how I would go about an exchange? Would all my info be swiped off before they attempt to re sale the unit? Again it makes a loud rattling noise after playing an intense game for a little while. Otherwise this is a really dang good pc. Very capable very nice.

Love the pc! it is quiet, has great specs and runs the games great! I think I got a bad one because it keeps having hardware failures (the graphics card is crashing and leaving the screen black with no response other than to turn it off the bad way and turn it back on) After a few minutes of having it, i installed minecraft. fun little game. Set the resolutions to max (as it should run minecraft at max settings) annnnd it ran for 4 hours and crashed. well, no big deal accidents happen! So i restart it and it happens when i try to run aion. 2-3 minutes of gameplay and it gives me a black screen. So I try fortnite, and the same thing. Black screen. So i lookat the reliability report and it has crashed a total of 18 times with the title of the error "hardware failure"... in two days of ownership. I am going to try and get the unit exchanged and will update the review if the replaced product works better.

It seems to work well, but at this time it remains totally unrecognized or supported by the manufacturer CyberPowerPC. The motherboard designation ASRock B550AM is unknown, but a logical step from the B450 series. Some internet forum threads mention a class of PC designated as a "pre-built by Best Buy", which I assume means that the component list was crowd-sourced to represent the most requested build. I was able to install a couple of AMD utilities for the Ryzen chip and the AMD graphics card. Motherboard could probably use a BIOS update, and is strange in that it has USB 3.0 and 3.2 ports in with the old PS2 keyboard/mouse sockets, and two antenna connections for I assume is wifi and Bluetooth. It does work quite well for gaming. Safe to assume that any further issues a person might have with running the game of their choice are likely the fault of their internet speed. Hopefully there will soon be some kind of support, either from CyberPowerPC or the motherboard manufacturer ASRock. Till then, we'll be gaming away on this nice set-up.

Coming up from a dated AMD FX-8350, this system is definitely better. It was packaged very well, looks great out of the box, and boots right up without issue. But, for the price... You'd think CyberPower would have something other than the "ketchup and mustard" PSU cables... The included keyboard and mouse are...meh...okay, at best. I mean, if you don't have a keyboard and mouse and need SOMETHING...they're better than nothing. But, it's just a white LED-backlit keyboard and there's no way of controlling the RGB LEDs on the mouse - so you're stuck with a rainbow puking effect. Unless I'm just completely blind and missed it (which has happened before with things), there's zero information in the box about the hardware specifically included in this system (motherboard info, more specifically). The case is nice. You're greeted with three RGB 120 mm fans and an RGB strip running down the front corner - all addressable in the BIOS (again, without immediately knowing the motherboard info, I don't know if there's software controls for RGB...). Now, is this system worth $1,300? I struggle to say yes. Let's do a price breakdown with current Amazon Prime pricing: Just the processor and XFX 5700 XT will run you around $710 + tax alone. The case, eh, I'd put it around $80. Then you throw in a 120mm AIO, the motherboard (a "B550A"), the memory, storage...it all adds up. Plus, whatever warranty you get. Still....THOSE KETCHUP AND MUSTARD PSU CABLES! Let's talk about this motherboard, though. It's simply a rebranded B450 board - which is okay, but I don't understand why it's not simply called a B450... You're not going to find ANY info on ASRock's website (as of this review). If you dig around CyberPower's website, you can find info under their branded drivers and downloads section. Let's talk performance: SOLID. ROCK SOLID. I've thrown everything at this system in the last 12 hours. Overclocked the ADATA 3000 memory to 3200. I've downloaded Ryzen Master and pushed this processor as far as this 120mm AIO will let me. I've gamed on it - and this 5700 XT can DEFINITELY hold its own (and with built-in bluetooth, I was able to connect my Xbox One X controller and game without issue) and it pushes this 34" LG ultrawide without any problems whatsoever. Like I said, it's been 12 hours. I'll come back in a month or two with an update on how it held up to that point and give my final thoughts.

I just bought this and have set it up. Set up was easy, there was some packing installed inside that you have to remove and all my cables were connected. After booting up and installing all the latest Windows and AMD Updates I went to User Benchmark and ran a benchmark test. It gave this machine the following ratings: Gaming: 104% UFO! Desktop: 93% Nuclear Submarine Workstation: 98% Nuclear Submarine I got all these scores without attempting any overclocking or upgrades. Truly an amazing machine. It does have an M.2 slot which is covered by the GPU but is capable of Gen 4 speeds for a new SSD if you want an even faster machine. CyberPower has also just posted the motherboard information, drivers, and BIOS at https://www.cyberpowerpc.com/forum/asrock-b550am-gaming-motherboard_topic55798.html Overall I am extremely happy with this machine and would recommend it to anyone especially with the Black Friday pricing.

As another review mentioned, the motherboard is not currently listed on the ASRock web site, which means BIOS updates may not ever become available for the board in this machine. That said, the build quality is great, the machine feels solid. It's fairly quiet, and the RGB can be adjusted in may ways (and disabled entirely as well). Seemingly no bloatware installed from the factory, which is also a plus. There is expansion inside for two more 2.5" SSD's, but does not seem to allow for a secondary 3.5" drive.

I bought this pre-built PC when Bestbuy was running a promotion. After placing the order, I learned from an online forum that the PSU in this model was not that great and the SSD was SATA but not M2 NMVE. So I bought a new PSU and a Samsung Evo 970 500GB. The installation of the PSU was fairly easy. But the M2 slot was hidden behind the graphic card. I have to remove it before installing my new ssd. In addition, THE SCREW ON THE MOTHERBOARD WAS MISSING, I was lucky that my friend had an extra screw from his motherboard. Overall, it is a fairly powerful gaming PC for this price. You probably won't get any cheaper even if you build one by yourself.

RGB lights on fans did not work out of box. I had to pull cables and remove zip ties only to find out the connectors that were taped together were not connected under the tape. After connecting and re-taping the connections the lights now work. I cannot find any information about the ASROCK B550AM GAMING motherboard on either the CyberPower website or the ASROCK website. Google only returns 1 result with another person stating the same lack of info. The PC overall is a beast but I also have some concerns with the graphics card. Video playback in games and websites is choppy. Overall for the price of this PC I am not sure it meets my expectations and am contemplating a return due to the lack of info regarding the motherboard, video and quality control issues.
