Most likely if you are reading this review you are exploring the option of buying a prebuilt rather than building your own rig. Due to the inflated GPU prices thanks to all the crypto---mining this was actually cheaper than building my own at the time of purchase. More specifically it would have cost me approx. $50-$75 more to build, not including the kb/mouse/led strip(those items are pretty cheap & I recommend having their replacements ahead of time). So, as far as value goes, this is 5*/5* for me.
Performance- So far this thing has handled every game ive thrown at it on max or near max settings with ease! GTA V, Witcher 3, PUBG, Destiny 2 etc.. 5*/5*
Verdict - Value, Performance & Build Quality are all exceptional. I paid something like $1950 & have no regrets. All items showed up quick and packed securely.

This is my first actual desktop gaming pc. I’ve only ever had gaming laptops so I am blown away at the smooth speed of this pc. I did however get some higher end fans with higher cfm then the ones it came with as well as a clc for the cpu. This computer had the best graphics I could ask for so A++++

I am a longtime professional fashion portrait photographer who needed to upgrade a system, I am shooting 42 megapixel images and my old setup was dragging a little, plus it really struggled with 4k footage though it is not my main business. This PC has absolutely taken care of all my needs power wise. Importing with Capture one and lightroom is so much faster and working at full res in those and Photoshop is as fast as anything around. Editing 4k footage in Davinci resolve is mindblowing compared to before, instant scrubs and rendering full 4k is truly blistering for a unit that anyone can buy. It will make you money. I had to load a few games to test and it runs 4k at ultra in the games I use at 60fps synced and higher when not. This is a great machine and the components are all great though the cpu cooler is the bare minimum for hard work. I love the eclipse 300 case, an award winner for good reason. I was a little worried about airflow and room but it is fine and so easy to get into to work on if you need. The lighting I wasn't planning to use but it turns out it is now giving my workspace a little extra class. Mine came with an MSI 370 A-PRO motherboard which is great with usb 3.1 gen 1. A fast 5gbps though. A great board, also an Evga 1080ti which ran to its max heat until I added the EVGA software which controls the fan speed, now it runs at 1911mhtz and stays below threshold even when gaming at 4k for long periods. Memory is Adata xpg 2666 ddr4 which is running at speed and solid. The CPU ran warm when pushed to the limit with the stock Intel fan which came with the system. Adding Msi software to speed up the fans helped. I chose to add the Noctua d15s cooler and now it stays in the 50s and sixties when really pushing it and stress testing but I used it for a while and had no issues before upgrading. I prefer to choose my own wifi and this worked great for me though the system has high speed lan. Cyberpower are definitely at the top of my list for bang for the buck. Buying from Best Buy is a choice I made with my last system after years of in house custom builds. I tried an HP Omen and an Alienware before this and returned them, as the cyberpower had much higher end components for not much more money, being able to return them and ending with this amazing cyberpower machine was great. I am adding a phone pic with the original cooler and the Noctua

The pc by itself is good but Cyberpower ethier didn’t add some parts that most people would be expecting to receive or they added some cheap components, for example they didn’t add Bluetooth on the pc so I had to go buy a Bluetooth adapter second problem this pc doesn’t have wireless WiFi so now I got to go buy a WiFi adapter. My third problem was that they went cheap on the cpu aircooling system that’s the only problems I had that the pc ethier didn’t have or were cheap parts. So let me talk about the pros now, I really like the graphics card, it’s a 1080 ti 11gbs I can’t complain with that but I have a problem with my graphics card, the light on my graphics card aren’t working properly I will attach a picture. But the other things I like about this pc is that it has a intel processor i7 8700k and 16gb of ram also like the design of the computer. But if you really want to make this the best computer you will have to spend more money, that’s what I’m doing I am upgrading this pc I bought little by little I will add a different cpu cooler and will change the fans of my pc. Hopefully this had helped anyone who is buying this pc or is thinking about buying it. Finally do I recommend it..... yes I do but if you want it to be something really nice you will have to spend more money.

I was looking for a major improvement to my old machine. I wanted a high end processor as well as a rocking graphics card. This machine met those requirements, but I'm a little baffled by what is NOT included in the build. No optic drive? Really?! A lot of programs including games still come on CD's. And frankly, I like watching movies on my computer from time to time. Had to buy one separately. No Bluetooth, again - really? Virtually every external component, headsets, printers. . . are run via Bluetooth. Again, had to purchase a Bluetooth adapter separately. Both of these components are nominal items to add to the original build and shouldn't affect the price very significantly at all - just add them CyberPower. Overall, I'm very happy with the machine, but just know that you're going to have to complete the build yourself to have an all around really good machine.

Pros:
-Quiet
-Easy to Upgrade
-Fast and Smooth Gameplay
Cons:
-Took a while to figure out setup including mouse and keyboard
-Came in a really big box
I absolutely love this gaming computer especially with games like Overwatch, Fortnite, and Diablo III and many more. It never heats up due to the three fans inside. A Big Recommendation for those who want to move up into better and faster gaming and still have the opportunity to upgrade!

This came packed in perfect condition, no issues with the box or internals being damaged by shipping. It turned on perfectly fine after plugging it in. I was very relieved to see there was no bloatware installed on the computer by outside companies, and the interior RGB lights look really cool! Very quiet and fast, and works great with my DisplayPort monitor.

no complaints about this computer. Its super fast and looks good. The only downfall is there is no Bluetooth or wifi included but most other gaming pc's come this way. With the current market for graphic cards, this prebuilt was a fair price.

Ok, so this computer has INCREDIBLE graphics and decent storage for a RELATIVELY medium price. It has decent looks, and has a great CPU. The thing is that for 2k+ dollars, you would expect the computer to have Wi-Fi connection, however it doesn't, which is quite a disappointment. The RAM, however, is great but could be expanded upon. For 2k dollars, this is, in a way, a bargain.

At first I was a little hesitant buying a prebuilt PC but my worries soon disappeared as soon as I took it out of the box and started it up. Everything works fine and all my games run at max settings with fps depending on the game. Some can run super high (144) but they never drop below 60 fps. The only problem I have is with the fans and the CPU Cooler, they look super basic/stock and sometimes whenever I start up the PC they make a loud Whirring noise that goes away in around 5 minutes. Even so, its still a great PC and I'm glad I have it.
