Got this computer for a really good price. I was looking into another prebuilt made by cyber power as well, but I saw this one and jumped on the price. It is very fast and runs almost all of my games on ultra or high. CSGO, battlefield, overwatch, and H1Z1 all run very well on the system. I have a dual monitor set up currently running, using the hdmi and the display port. Which always runs smoothly with no delay between the monitors, even with the DP to hdmi adapter. I'd definitely recommend.

This desktop is reviewed as being easily upgradable by adding or changing internal parts. It appears that way to me but I haven't attempted any of that as of yet. I found the included disk drive as initially not usable but after returning it to Best Buy , a member of the geek squad found connections not plugged in. Looking forward to using my old pc version of Morrowind with the desktop.

This computer system was highly recommended by BB staff. However, as an online sim racing, I find this system severely lacking. The graphics card has bad flaws. It crashes for no reason. If I have my game settings on medium, it crashes and looks terrible. Forget VR. This is not a VR system. I'm not happy at all.

Never had a chance to set up due to it being physically damaged. After experience with other computers, this tower is not VR ready and I don't understand why it's pushed as a oculus rift bundle. In order to set up oculus rift you need two hdm/two display ports/hdmi & display port. You need one hdmi slot for headset and another for you tv/display. I tried USB to hdmi adapter and It failed. Specs are subpar for oculus rift. Spend more money on tower and you will be happy. You get what you pay for.

I bought this thinking that it was VR ready like it said, but while the CPU and graphics card might be fine, the USB drivers won't work. This is NOT VR ready. You will have to buy atleast a separate USB hub (internal) for this to work

Good for a first gaming pc

Let me say I like this pc, it works fine most of the time with the occasional hiccup on connection. First time set up was a hassle though; It doesn't come with a wi-fi card, so I go out to get one, and open it up, only to find that the graphics card is so big it's covering the slot where you'd put the wi-fi card, and after a few times trying to borrow a friend's smaller graphics card or trying to find a wi-fi card with a different slot size, I gave up and got a USB wi-fi connector, and now it works well most of the time. My png is usually high as (website won't let me curse) though, and sometimes it disconnects from the wi-fi entirely. Overall, decent computer, games and internet run fine.

So far I've been loving this pc! It looks great and really simple to use. I only know the basics of pc's but this one made it really easy. I wish the instructions on the quick start guide were a lot easier and more specific. Other than that, really great!

I got this computer the other day and love it! Amazing processor and great graphics card. The price is a steal! I got this on sale so that's a bonus. Start-up is really quick. An added bonus is that it comes with a mouse and a keyboard, personally I prefer a different mouse but they both work great!

Decent computer, not for the Oculus

This is a good enough computer, but it didn't work as well as I'd hope for the Oculus. The video card drivers crashed every 15 min while using it and the computer would restart itself. If I had known more about computers I never would have bought it. Just spend a bit more and get a better computer. If you check Oculus Rift's site this doesn't meet any of the requirements to use it

VR = Virtual Reboot
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Sometimes I can play for an hour, sometimes I can't even get past the Oculus software startup. I've reinstalled the Oculus software, removed and reinstalled the latest video drivers, installed the latest ASUS USB drivers, but nothing keeps it from randomly blue screening.
When it works, it is an awesome experience. When it reboots in the middle of a game, it is very frustrating. Whether the issue is Windows, ASUS, AMD, or Oculus I could not say. For all I know it could be the power supply is under powered. I think the computer itself is capable of running VR, but the drivers are so unstable as to make it unusable for Virtual Reality.

Great gaming PC for Oculus VR

The Cyber Power PC came as a bundle with the Oculus Rift VR system. It works very well with the Oculus system and has surprised me how well it works as a stand alone PC for my other gaming, school work and personal computing.
