I'm going to break my review down as simply as I can, If you are looking for an X99 Platform computer, this is what you should get if you have no want to build one. The price difference between building and buying this pre-built one is really close in comparison.
CPU: The I7 6850k. A great all around gaming/workstation CPU. If you want to game with it I would recommend at least Overclocking to 4.2. I was able to achieve this overclock with a voltage @ 1.25v. Rendering videos out in Sony Vegas has been nice and quick and with the included Liquid Cooling my CPU at 100% Load was sitting at 40C-45C. Simply great.
Motherboard: According to Cyberpower, the parts they ship arent always the same since they use whatever they have at the time. I felt lucky enough to get the ASUS X99-E Motherboard. It's the "lower end" of the X99 ASUS Series, but when it comes to X99 Motherboards, there really isnt a low end since most if not all are at least 200+ USD, with this one retailing 220 USD. It has all the bells and whistles of the X99-A2 just no cover over the Rear Panel Ports. Sound off the motherboard was noticeably better than my previous motherboard for my old computer (the msi z97 pc mate) and also it has a lot of room for SLI and expansion.
GPU: Like said above, Cyberpower has random parts they put in their machines but I received an EVGA GTX 1080 Gaming, this is the basic blower edition of their cards, not to be mixed up with the reference. I was able to overclock the card to closely match the EVGA FTW Clock speed which is 1860, I was able to get mine to 1850 when boosted. Now it doesn't have the best fan obviously since its a blower, but with a good fan curve it won't go above 72 Celsius!
Ram: From what I can tell its nothing special nor can I find what it's manufacture it is. I believe its clocked at 2186 Mhz so on the lower side of DDR4 and at 16 Gigs. I assume if you are getting this machine as a workstation I would recommend buying 32 gigs @ 3000-3200 Mhz of whatever brand you like and simply swapping it out.
PSU: Like the ram, its nothing special, I cant exactly find its manufacturer as well but on the side it says "Power Co. LTD."' I believe the PSU Is 800-850W too. Its also a bronze psu. Like I said nothing short of special, but it definitely gets the job done and its enough for future expansion.
Case: The Case is a Metal Meshed Mid- ATX Tower Case. It has blue leds inside from its 4 fans inside, if you don't like this color scheme, you can just simply take the fans out and add different ones but it works well! The cooler for the cpu use a "push/pull" ecosystem to help cool down the radiator and the inside temps usually are 25C-35C. It also has a DVD/CD Writer drive with it as well for any purposes you need that.
Overview: This was a great value buy for everything that comes with it. From the CPU down to the Case. My only problem is that it was 16 Gigs of ram and the PSU is 800-850 Watts and not Gold/Platinum Power draw. Personally this is a 4.5/5 Stars and I'd recommend it to anyone interested in buying this computer!

Extremely good price for what comes in the package

As the title says, for the price we paid for this computer, its simply beats out building your own for the same price. All of my parts were very premium, that being said, I may have gotten the luck of the draw from Cyberpower but wow was I impressed. The Motherboard it came with was a Asus X99-E which isn't the highest on the end of the x99 platform of motherboards, but it was a refresh for the newest Broadwell-E and not a non refresh where I would've had to flash bios to make it truly compatible. The Graphics card it came with was an EVGA GTX 1080 Gaming. Once again not the highest of the EVGA brand, but in fact the luckiest given how the ACX 3.0 Cards have been turning out. The ram is clocked at 2400 mhz and also the PSU is an 850w unit, but its a bronze power rating. The SSD it came with was a SanDisk Z400s 256GB ssd and the 2 TB HDD was a Toshiba 2 TB as well.
OC: I was able to get an oc of 4.2 @ 1.25v with the 6850k and the supplied AOI Liquid cooler. I also was able to oc the 1080 to 1850 boost clock. Everything is smooth as silk and also is incredibly great to use.
From Post to Startup is estimate around 7-10 seconds the most.
If you are seriously considering this machine I would go ahead and buy this, my only major gripe is that the Ram isn't 32 gb and also doesn't utilize the Quad Channels available, as it will be something I will be changing in the system soon, and that the PSU isn't something like gold power rating. All in all its a 5/5 from me cyber power!

the system is great for the price! I don't build computers so I had to buy and i think I got a great deal. The only things i would change and can easily change myself is the RAM - it came with 16gb 2100mhz but that's an easy thing to fix. Also, a bigger SSD hard drive, an easy thing to fix yourself. Out of the box I had to update the bios - easy - comes with a cd that does that. I don't need WIFI so i didn't care that it doesn't come with it but again - $20 fix. The big stuff this pc comes with it. A great CPU, watercooling, GPU, and 2 huge fans. The GPU is powerful so games look amazing at 4k. The pc is noticeably quicker than my last one which was less than a year old and had great specs as well. You will have this PC for years to come, especially with a 6 core over-clock processor. Plus cyber power provides some cool stuff you can use for later upgrades. Well worth it.

Beast for Gaming and Other Assorted Tasks...

My first computer / PC review:
I went with this Cyberpower PC for these top four reasons:
A) Value / components and water cooled options over many other top name brands.
B) Case design, had to have tons of ventilation and still be a mid size case with limited height.
B) Overall model ratings.
D) Respected; although new to me PC manufacture (Cyberpower) that seems to be well received with the gamers' reviews I've read through, an that was many.
Bought the PC on Best Buy website, got it delivered in-store within the week which was way ahead of the initial ETA.
Set up was a breeze, only had to call the Cyberpower support team twice for some obvious questions during the first set up, but they were quick to get on the phone (especially for a comp manufacture) and they were helpful, courteous and very accommodating with my dumb questions.
I am using the beast with a Samsung 4k 28" PC monitor and let me tell you; Battlefield 1 looks as realistic as a movie, this system can handle the most graphics heavy tasks like no other PC I've had over the years from the 90s until now in 2016.
I am getting over 60 frames a second with the EVGA GTX-1080 card, smooth as silk !
The case is great also, plenty of ventilation, quit and not too much inside light from the MB going on all night.
After having the system now since mid October 2016, I am very happy with the purchase, even thought it was not cheap, but not over the top either.
Lots of bang for the buck !
These comps certainly smashed all the Dells, Acers and other big name brands for value, superior major components and performance.
The one or two cons on this model was I could not get a 500 gig SSL drive, they only offered the 256 gig SSL unless I went up to a much more expensive model with features I was not really looking to pay for and the GPU card only having one (1) cooling fan, (this is an EVGA deal though, not Cyberpower) ... ** My average gaming temp for Battlefield 1 at full optimized setting is a respectable 81 deg Celsius **
Other than the small primary SSL drive and single fan GPU, this is an excellent machine that I expect to last for a few years and still be able to handle graphics intense gaming.
Thanks for the altunitive to the big name guys CyberpowerPC !1 Keep up the good woth with the quality and great helpdesk support.

Overall I am very pleased with this rig. I got it in just a few days from the time I purchased online. The lighting is good. Came with a Asus MoBo. It's says it's 16GB of memory but it came with 8GB of memory? The only issue I say is that the lights from the MoBo flash/pulse when the rig is on and when the rig is off. I don't mind having the lights on while I use the pc but I rather have the lights stay off when not in used. The Mouse and keyboard also have lights and stay on when not in use. That's just annoying. I had to do and search on how to turn them off and it turns out I have to make some changes in the BIOS in order to have those lights off. The down side of it is that once you turn them off in the BIOS then they stay off at all times, so there goes a feature that is useless. I guess I can live with out those lights.

The hard drive is too small. Added another one along with additional memory. It's a step up in gaming. I'm disappointed that I had to order a bluetooth dongle for bluetooth which I wouldn't have known without the help of Geek Squad. Overall, I'm glad I purchased it. I wouldn't recommend this particular model to the gaming enthusiast unless they're prepared to upgrade.

I'm loving this PC. It only took about 30 minutes from the time I opened the box until I was playing one of my favorite games at max settings (one which I've had to struggle with on the lowest possible settings for years on my previous machine). So far, it has easily handled everything I've thrown at it, including Witcher 3 on max settings.
I'm still getting used to how quiet it is, since my last gaming PC was a machine full of fans.

This computer broke exactly one year from the day I bought it. Broke as in it sparked and started smoking right after I turned it on. This is the second CyberPower computer I have bought in 2 years time that has broken. The first one broke right out of the box. I will not be buying CyberPower again any time soon.

Excellent build for the money

I have had more expensive computers from Cyber PowerPC, but this one is by far more PC for the money. All of the components are name brand and of excellent quality, I received the one with the Gigabyte MOBO, my personal preference due to its ease of use in the Bios section, X99 platform and the MSI GTX 1080 Vid Card, would have preferred the NVidia founders edition, or the ZOTAC AMP, but with these come added price. I would like there to have been a bit more RAM, 16 GB of 2133 is a bit lower than I usually run, but easily attended to, and Geek Squad will be populating it with 64GB more of the 3200s, same with the Wi-Fi another easy addition. How is the performance you ask, blazing fast response times, no noticeable lag even in the most demanding of gaming environments and details just pop. I am a fan of Broadwell so I think I am going to like the 7th Gen Intel Core 6850k Broadwell E processor, which allows you to easily watch and enjoy amazing and vibrant multimedia, you can create, edit, share, and game all at the same time, easily displayed on a 1080p monitor, I use a Samsung 1080p Curved 32" monitor. I have heard it also easily displays on a 4k Monitor. It also enables powerful photo & video editing, multiple video streams, 360° videos and high resolution video chat. It has only been 2 days, but I have put it through all of the above, so far I am thrilled with my Rig, Cyber PowerPC and Best Buy for all their assistance. I look forward to another 12 years of great computing and good conversations with my friends.

Works Beautifully

This computer is everything I wanted. It runs quietly, has a top-of-the-line video card, and the LED lighting adds to the overall look of the unit. I highly recommend purchasing a monitor with Gsync capabilities to go along with this unit. The unit was well packed for shipping, was easy to set up, and worked great right out of the box. Just plug and play. Be aware that when you pay for next day shipping on this unit, it does not mean you will necessarily get it the next day. I bought mine on a Thursday Next Day shipping, and did not receive it until the following Monday. Next Day simply means the next day after the 3rd party receives the order for the item. Since I placed my order Thursday close of business, the order was not received by CyberPower until Friday morning. It shipped Friday evening, but since I had not paid for Saturday delivery, I did not receive it until the following Monday.

Good PC so far, fast startup and fan is not as loud as my old computer. It is a very nice upgrade. Only thing I wish this product can be better if it has larger RAM and hard drive.

Good Computer Thus Far

The computer ran without issues from the start. The packing was well done, with foam on the inside, plastic around the window, and with a shock absorbing foam on the top and bottom of the desktop.
The LED lights look very nice, the fans blow the air very well, as I can feel them blowing cool air out of the case. Instructions were clear and everything on the desktop is labeled (such as the display ports).
