    First off, the model I actually bought, they discontinued, however this model is excatly the same specs and everything, now just with different colors. For all you gamers out there, ill tell you whats up. Essesntial this beast run ANYTHING before 2015. So dont expect to run Battlefront(2015) or fallout 4, though I hear some people can run fallout on mediem, but if you are still playing skyrim, fallout 3, LoL, or any mmo, this will do the trick on ultra. For the price, considering the GPU, Hrd drive, and 16g of ram, its solid. IF you want to play Fallout 4 or new games, you are going to have to buy another $200 graphics card, but the rest of the system is a beast. It is very fast, booting up is quick, and it is very good at multitasking. Again for the price you cant complain homie. Hope this helps!!!

    Great, fast and reasonably priced. I barely notice the fans. Faster than my core I7 machine at work.

    Plenty of reviews speak of fan noise, and yes it is not as quiet as previous machines that I have owned. But it has settled in and is not nearly as noisy as when I first purchased it. The processing speed is definitely worth a little fan noise.

    I purchased this computer for school. I am in a drafting program and it works great for the programs I need. The speed is good and the graphics are pretty great as well. Great for watching movies and playing games.

    So all in all this is a great startup desktop. I use mine mainly for gaming will a little bit of homework on the side. Runs every game that I want to play at this point. Only draw back is the video card is not what it's made out to be. Looking to upgrade it soon.

    Great pic just be sure to update everything drivers and etc and remember to run stuff in compatibility mode so that this way all programs will work with windows 10. And as far as the stuff that supposed to come with your computer like the free antivirus program that comes with computer don't count on Best Buy to follow through with this even after being on hold for 45 minuets.. They still have not gotten me situated after a month but the pc is great.

    My husband and I are gamers and we spent months trying to update the old computers we had. We found it less expensive to just buy these gaming computers and we are so happy we did. The graphics are nice and the speed is good as well :)

    PSU very basic, will upgrade first. Cpu fan a little angsty and loud when it revs up, will upgrade that second. Keyboard feels pretty solid, mouse is a bit small for my hand. Pros: Blue lights for added cooling Case has pretty good airflow Good basic kicker pc, give to your kid, heat their room. Cons WhhhhHHRRRRRhhhrrrrHHHRRRRRRRR Bit overpriced for what you get Cyberpowerpc sticker on tower crooked I would recommend this to entry level gamers, but I'm not friends with any of those so,

    It's Loud!!

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

    Purchased it for daily business use not for gaming. It works fine, but... Good: -Lot's of RAM -Pretty fast -Easy enough set up and get running Bad: -Mouse and keyboard look and feel like junk -Loud, Loud and Loud!!! Even after taking other posters suggestion of running speedfan!! Annoyingly LOUD!!!! For this fact alone I would not purchase or recommend this computer -Always changes my keyboard to numlock upon restart -The graphics card Radeon r7 250 has 3 ports and I thought it could handle 3 montors from my research...but ohhh noooo, this can only accommodate 2 monitors, the 250x can accommodate 3 monitors, making this another bust for me Bottomline, it gets the job done if you want to hear a windstorm all day and don't mind turning your music louder to hear over the windstorm

    PC Works great

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

    I will begin by restating the obvious, the fans are not quiet. If you want whisper mode, do not go this route. It is very easy to hook up, comes with a nice keyboard and mouse. It runs everything that I do very nicely and I am enjoying have a decent machine. The lights in the box make it look more appealing also. It does seem to need more air space than the typical tower cabinet, so think about removing the door or making new vent holes maybe. Overall, new nice.

    This Blue Monster rocks!

    This is my first gaming computer and I immediately fell in love with it. It is extremely fast, has great graphics, and I have had zero problems so far. Every game I have played ran perfectly: in Minecraft I did a TNT lag test where I stood in the middle of no less than 50 pieces of TNT and the lag was only a second - for contrast,10-20 pieces of TNT would nearly crash the world on my other PC. And playing League of Legends is so easy with great reaction times and, again in contrast to my laptop, without ever crashing. I recommend this computer to anyone who wants an amazingly powerful gaming computer at a super competitive price.

    not necessarily for someone computer illiterate

    After taking it out of the box & hooking everything up to it, it would not come on. Tried switching the power cord into a different plug & still nothing. Called Best Buy Geek squad & they advised that if it would not power on that it was probably defective & to bring it up to the store & they would either refund the money or order me another one. I live way to far from where I bought it to do that so before I took it in I just started flipping the power switch in the back on & off several times & it finally fired up. Not sure how to load a lot of this & windows 10 is totally foreign to me but this thing is fast & really easy to use so far. I would highly recommend this for someone who wanted to step up from an old HP pavilion!

    Great gaming computer! Very fast. I can do multiple things at one time with no problems. I do agree fans are a bit noisy but not bad at all kinda soothing sound. At least nothing high pitched. I do have one critic . The company did not supply enough SATA power cables for extra hard drive installation.But I just purchased a Y splitter cable.

    Those Fans

    Had to do a replacement for a faulty video card when I first got this. Cyberpower took care of the RMA without hesitation. Great customer service on their part. Great PC otherwise. I use it for intensive audio production and it shines there. Also great for gaming. Some have commented on the fan noise, and yes it is noisy. But that can be dealt with rather easily. This ships with the fans at 100% with no automatic controls (or minimal in the BIOS). I'm in the habit of monitoring a PCs heat index due to intensive CPU load I put my machines through. So Speed Fan is always installed, configured for automatic controls. The moment I turned it on on this machine, the fan speeds dropped to 31%, 27%, and 25%. That dropped the noise by about 80%. Ive tested it under heavy CPU and GPU loads, both audio and gaming, and haven't had an inkling of any heat issues. In fact, I barely hit 40C on any of the sensors except the GPU which never gets to 50C. Obviously, the fan speeds are set much higher than they need to be and can be lowered for everyday use (as most would use this PC) under far more silent conditions. All in all, a great buy.
