I've had this PC for about 3 months, and she's (her name is Ava) been able to handle everything I throw at her. Currently I'm setup with a monitor and tv. I often play video games on one screen and stream Netflix on the other. I've also streamed Fallout 4, Tomb Raider, and more without trouble. She can even handle video editing while running simulation games such as the sims 4 simultaneously. The graphics card is not top of the line and the processor is AMD, but this is an amazing PC for the price.

I love my new gaming computer. I wanted something that could be capable of vr but could be upgraded later on. I was afraid after reading some reviews about the system not hooking up to the monitor because of faulty equipment but I had no problem. I would recommend to anyone wanting an entry level vr computer who are afraid to build one themselves.

Noobie-Mom here who isn't super tech-saavy but I know more than enough to setup a computer and I'm a bit baffled on this one. Where is the HDMI port? Support is closed and they are only open when I'm at work. There's a port that looks similar to HDMI but it doesn't seem to be HDMI (doesn't fit and shaped slightly different). What am I missing?

I got this computer today and loved it! Amazing processor and great graphics card. The price is a steal! I got this on sale so that's a bonus. Startup is really quick. I really like the fact you can change the lighting color on the tower and keyboard. Did I mention it comes with a keyboard and mouse! Great product. So far so good.

This is the first time I have looked to buy a PC for its looks and its gaming ability.... Its a looker (bad to bone) that is 100% true...
It is put together with very good components.. It was boxed and shipped out in a very good and strong box.. I was in love as soon as I saw it....The keyboard it really really nice to look at and the buttons are strong and very response to your typing... The mouse is a little over my head( I use my x-box controller) but its nice.... To tell the truth I cant stop staring at it (but i'm weird so).... Now the reason I only gave it 4 out of 5 rating..... It will not see my external HD(which is an issue for me)... and I was surprised and confused when I found out there was no CD/DVD player installed... Had to go buy a external one(cost me another 40.00) to be able to install the drives...

FIRST GAMING PC, AND I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER!

My wife recently bought me this gaming pc from cyberpower and i couldn't be happier! i was using an old amd $700 laptop that couldn't do much of anything it was slow and old even upgraded the ram to max and still didn't help. So we searched around to get me something more powerful because i do editing gaming videos and record also and my laptop couldn't handle doing all that. We came across this pc during black Friday and i instantly was drawn to the look of it and started looking at the reviews first and the specs because i had no idea what i needed i just know i needed something powerful and could run games also if i wanted to do that, i read to make sure RAM was expandable and it is up to 32gb, the graphics card i also didn't know much about but went on the AMD website and seen the RX 480 is the equivalent pretty much of the GTX series so i said ok that's a plus! and then the Wi-Fi capabilities included already was great to. I got to say i am extremely happy with this pc and I'm not looking back I've actually wanted to game on this more than my ps4. the instructions were a bit confusing only because I'm new to the pc world after i got it up and running its been working great! and I'm currently typing this review on the pc itself as we speak. Rendering and editing on this machine is a beast. would purchase this again!

Arrived 2 days earlier than estimated shipping time!!
Thanks BestBuy!!
All required hardware/software provided (re-install media/drivers/manual/pwr cable/WiFi antenna) Machine was up and running in less than 30 minutes (aside from MS Windows updates xp) If your machine reports that Windows is not activated, as mine did (and should be expected), there is an activation key on the computer case that can be used to activate once the machine is connected to the internet. Gaming Mouse/Keyboard are great. Machine looks superb with the lights off.

I went to Best Buy to look for a good entry level PC and of course AMD is always cheaper than Intel. I was a bit bias at the beginning because this processor is a bit outdated, but once I saw the reviews and tried it for myself, I have nothing negative to say about this PC. Cyberpower did I nice job with its presentation and cable management. The mouse and keyboard are great!, I like that a PC under $700.00 can perform this good. I use 3d editing software like Max, C4D, Zbrush and Photoshop and it handles it like a dream.
Thank you BestBuy and CyberPower for this good PC!.

First I would like to say that this computer has far surpassed my expectations. It is fast, the graphics are outstanding (even at 1440+), and the machine has a solid, well put together feel to it.
The esthetic is a good mix of tech joy and solid machinery! Phanteks' Eclipse 400 is as robust as they come, and the side window adds a nice touch of class to it as you enjoy the LEDs!
I have to say that when Best Buy makes special order computer, they do it right and get an excellent price for you! I spec'd out this same computer from a computer builder, and it was just under $1000. If you are considering this as a starter, or mid-level gaming rig, just add it to your cart and smile, knowing you made a wise choice!
The only two things I will change about this are the keyboard and mouse, but that is simply preference. I am sure Cyber Power PC, and Best Buy, know people will go out and buy an aftermarket set, so I see why the pieces that came in the kit are good, but not over the top.
As for the team at the Flower Mound Best Buy store, they were able to help me with a very complex issue, and came through with solutions for me, in ways I never thought they could! David and Justin both deserve big, fat raises! No, really... THEY DO!!! :-)
All in all, you cannot go wrong with this machine. If you are considering a computer in this price range, you will be hard-pressed to find a better combination of components, in as nice a case, for this price or even more, for that matter!

This PC is amazing for the price. If you are looking for a pc to play games such as Overwatch, For Honor, League of Legends, Skyrim, or any other graphics intensive game; This PC can handle it no problem. The AMD Radeon RX 480 4gb GPU Combined with the AMD FX-8350 processor give this PC all the tools it needs to game at max settings. Overwatch runs on Ultra at 70fps, For Honor runs at max settings at 70+ fps, League of Legends runs on max settings at 160+ fps. This PC also allows room for upgrades in the future, with 4 ram slots and plenty of room in the Case.
Pros
- Great Value
- Great performance on modern games
-upgrades for future
Cons
-Fan is kinda loud

People have tried to make this company and they're products sound bad, it made me extremely hesitant to buy a desktop. I heard the horror stories about mother boards burning out etcetera. So let me just say this, I mine Crypto(Bitcoin) I ran this C series desktop(purchased ofline via "bust buy") through 10 solid days and nites of over clocked light coin mining while running plex server on a galaxy note 7 and an ipad, I also had 8 virtual power iso drives loaded running reapeat c++ empty window open and close scrypt's the entire time, and I now have to say this company and at least theyre c series are amazing I will never buy another game system! Also support was beyond on point fast and very respectful, I would refer all my family and some good friends! Cannot beat the price+ that sharp craftsmanship! if I could give the person or people that built my tower a shot and a handshake, I would!

I needed an upgrade for a while now but price is always an issue. I shopped around several websites and brands for about a solid 2 weeks before buying this model. Being an 80's child I'd say I'm a hardcore gamer; but I don't always play the latest new releases just to be clear. I needed something that could play all my classic game from childhood; but super important too was to be able to keep up with the grand majority of today's games as well, especially some classic franchises I've followed along the years. It doesn't come with VR and there are definitely more sophisticated machines out there, but for an avid gamer that still has to work and earn a living this fits the bill perfectly. Its strong enough to play classics at ultra/high performance and will hold its own with modern day games as well. I'm very satisfied with my purchase and I'm confident this desktop will last me some time.

I got this computer and loved it! Amazing processor and great graphics card. I am able to play Overwatch without any lag or spikes, and playing World of warcraft I can run through the major cities even do raids and not be slowed by choppiness . Also the price isn't bad for a computer like this! Startup is really quick. I really like the fact you can change the lighting color on the tower and keyboard. Did I mention it comes with a keyboard and mouse! Great product. So far so good.

I initially came in to buy a daily deal PC that had most of the guts I needed for a gamingPC I was going to build with a $700 budget. I was going to go over that budget by a smidge. I was surprised at the guts in this thing for $650 it was all I needed and there's room to upgrade if I find it necessary later on. The case is beautiful then add to my surprise that it came with a slick gaming keyboard and mouse! Sweet deal. beautiful machine.
