    I usually build my own computers, searching for the best price vs. performance. My last gaming computer suffered a motherboard failure, so I had to either shop, compare and build or look for a pre-built. This computer had everything I wanted and would only cost a bit more than buying the parts and putting it together. Factor in the time and effort required, minus the headaches (and risk of catastrophic failure) it was an easy choice. I was not disappointed. This machine handles games at high to ultra settings without frame rate drop, has plenty of ram and stays cool under stress. Pros: Fast, very quiet, excellent processor, plays games well (no obvious glitching or frame rate drops at high-ultra settings), good ram (16 GB), great graphics (GTX 1060 6GB), free keyboard and mouse, cool LED lights that have different color settings, nice tempered glass case, tons of USB ports, large interior space for upgrades and a 1 year warranty on parts and labor. Amazing PC for the price. No regrets, extremely satisfied. Neutral: Big and bulky. Seriously this thing is huge, check the given dimensions and grab a tape measure. Not a problem in my case, but don't expect to easily tuck this away under your desk. No optical drive. I don't know if the kids even use CDs/DVDs in 2019, but there is no drive and the faceplate appears to restrict installing a mounted optical drive (also makes the provided driver disk pointless). Would require a USB disk drive for CDs and DVDs, but again, those might be obsolete these days. Also, the case has orange accents. Not my favorite color, but not an issue. Cons: No wifi (I use wired ethernet so I do not care). The installed SSD is small (120 GB). This is easily overcome if you install everything to the D: drive, which is the HDD, just be sure to choose this when installing games. "BLOATWARE"- not CyberPower's fault: Windows 10 comes with about 50GB of unnecessary stuff. Possibly interesting if you have never owned a PC, totally annoying if you have ever owned a computer before. Again, easily overcome by a simple websearch on how to remove (a github program makes this easy, but I won't link to avoid any conflict of interest) Bonus: CyberPower has a great tech support via email or phone. The mouse that came free was defective. It lit up but did not work. Geeksquad told me I ran all the checks they did, but I would have to return the whole computer, keyboard and mouse just to get the mouse replaced (a laughable policy that should be looked into by Bestbuy), but all parts are covered by a 1 year warranty. No hassle by CyberPower - one day resolution. Anyway if you read this entire review, don't mind the minor cons and are looking for a moderately priced, high powered computer, this is a great choice. It won't disappoint and can be modified in the future to stay relevant (i.e. liquid cooling, bigger GPU, updated Cpu all with a nice looking case). I love it as is though. If you are hesitant, check all the reviews for this computer and comparable ones at a higher price. It wont disappoint like an $800 PC nor will it leave a hole in your wallet like a $2000 PC

    An incredible gaming machine

    I bought this computer so that I could play my new favorite games. The games run effortlessly and smoothly. It was easy to set up and install. The computer has LED lights that are very awesome and light up. Equipped with a lot of fans and venting so you don't need to worry about your machine overheating. No problems so far, it's the best computer I've ever had! The only con for me is that the keyboard made my wrist hurt, so I went back to the old one, which had flatter keys and was more comfortable for me.

    Awesome Gaming PC WITH LIGHTS!

    When I was trying to buy a PC, I was hesitant as to what I was going to get. I went to plenty of stores, asked around, and researched. At this time, mining is taking over the prices so this was the cheapest route. I am so happy with this prebuilt PC, it put my old PC to shame and the lights/design of this PC brought it to a whole nother level! The specs are great and can handle practically anything I throw at it! Highly recommend this PC for someone who is a casual gamer and wants a quality machine!

    I have been using this computer for about 2 weeks and it works wonderfully. Boots up really fast and runs my games flawlessly. I like how customizable it can be and the case is super cool and pretty. The lights are easy to change and can be turned off if you want. It is a big case but its not super heavy. Overall very good computer and has all the specs you need for the majority of the games out now.

    I bought this computer roughly 2 years ago and it has been amazing since them. It starts up everyday like the day I got it. Never had a single complaint about this AMAZING PC. You can run every single game at the highest settings and not worry, I stream and make videos for youtube, and its been nothing but the best.

    This is my second Cyberpower pc build. It has everything I want and need for a gaming rig. Led's are cool, everything is nice and tight, wiring is good. Can't wait to upgrade to my custom liquid cooling setup. I recommend cyberpower to everyone I know!

    I was looking for a computer that could handle video editing and gaming, and this one is an excellent choice! For the price, you can't go wrong. Please note that if you're installing WiFi, it will be close to the graphics card.

    I was looking for a new PC for awhile, but kept getting turned off by all of the mining going on, so luckily I decided to give up on that and broke down and bought this pre-built one. While this is not my first pre-built PC, it is far superior to my previous one. It runs games with no problems that my old PC struggled with and the LEDs on it are way more vibrant. It is by far much faster and much quieter too. Also, it arrived 4 days earlier than the expected delivery date! I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a pre-built PC for a reasonable price.

    Highly Recommend This PC.

    Ok so just got it and early thank you all. I have seen a number of questions as to 'what comes with it' so here we go with what I got. First off I did not get the RGB 7 Color keyboard as advertised on Best Buy. I called Cyberpower PC and they said you don't not with my serial number. Anyway... The case is really nice easy to work with. Came with an MSI Bazooka motherboard POTENZA 16GB RAM, WD Green 120GB SSD, WD Blue 1TF HDD, 600W Thernalite Power Supply, EVGA GTX GeForce 1060 6GB Ram, also this motherboard DOES NOT support more than 2.1 sound so getting a sound card. More later....

    Amazing build, but one/two major negatives...

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    So i am new to this whole "pc gaming" thing, and it took me a while to find out what i should be looking for. -Reason why i decided to get this. I wanted to play FPS on High settings and surpass 60fps. This build gives you just that. Ive only had this pc for about 3-4 hours, and I've tested 2-3 games and so far I love it, its fast (thanks to the SSD I believe) boot up time is literally seconds. Modern Warfare 2, and Fortnite run at incredibly high frame rates, and i set both an pretty high settings. So on performance, I'm happy with it so far. -The negatives... At first glance, when looking at this build, i thought, for the price its at, its way too good to be true, i knew that there had to be a "catch" and oh boy was there. This build DOES NOT INCLUDE BUILT IN WIFI (meaning, you can CANNOT CONNECT TO THE WIFI UNLESS you... 1. use an ethernet cable, 2. use a wifi adapter which is problematic because most of them are pretty bad, or 3. figure out a way to build a "wifi card" into the thing, no idea how much that will cost. Also, my current "temporary" setup, i use a tiny kinda old Sony tv, plugged in an HDMI and for some reason there is NO VOLUME, I've tried everything to get the volume to work, but no dice. In conclusion, the processor (multiple people here have stated its not a Ryzen 5 2600, but instead a 1600, i checked on the system information, rest assured, its a RYZEN 5 2600 which is much better than the 1600) and the graphics card (GTX 1060 6GB) paired with an SSD, and an HDD, at its price, is fantastic, (the PC is MASSIVE so be warned).If you can manage with the PC not having wifi, then the positives out way the negative and if you're used to using an ethernet cable either way, then you should have no problems.

    I purchased this Pc late May 2018 and so far my husband has no complaints ( and he is very picky with Pc's- he had purchased 3 pcs before this one and returned them). It is very fast, looks amazing and he sets graphics at the highest and gets a steady 60 fps. It is VERY affordable as well which is a BIG PLUS.

    My first gaming computer, and a great one at that!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought this computer after consulting some friends that were more adept at technology than I am. In the end, they all came to a consensus and decided that this was the best computer for the price range I wanted. After receiving the computer and setting it up, I couldn't be more happier! It was exactly what I wanted: a great gaming computer that is just the right price. The computer runs very smoothly. It starts up quick and has no issues with loading time whatsoever. The fan itself is also very quiet, which is a huge bonus. As for those reading reviews on whether it runs games fine, rest assured that it does. Overall, a very good computer and would highly recommend!

    This computer meets all my needs and was a great price. It is VR ready and runs all my games on great settings. I do recommend increasing the RAM eventually. The LED lights on the case are nice but after a while do get old. Good thing is you can change the color or turn it off.

    First Gaming PC didn't dissapoint

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    So I had been planning on building a PC for quite some time now and just as I was about to order all of the parts, I stumbled on this PC. For all of the same parts it would've actually been cheaper to order this PC already build (it was on discount). So I did and it has been great. You have to connect via ethernet to get started but setup was a breeze, and its runnig perfectly, most games I run on medium settings and I'm getting easily 140 FPS. The SSD is a little slow but thats an easy upgrade.

    Amazing product for gaming, just got it recently this week and all I have to say is that the performance is absolutely outstanding. I was actually oblivious as to the fact that it came with a mouse and keyboard, which made me even more excited seeing them in the box. The PC runs extremely smooth and is very quiet compared to previous systems I've used. Definitely recommend for hardcore gamers.

    A large step up from my previous PC.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Well, to start off it runs most of the game I throw at it at 60+ fps at High/Ultra settings. It stays relatively cool for an air cooler. The only issue I have so far is the ram speed is clocked at 2133 which is a little low for a CPU like Ryzen. Other than that one issue, it's a great all-around PC.
