Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was going to build my own PC checking compatibility with pcpartpicker, but saw this and just couldn't beat the price (plus I had a 10% off coupon for my birthday). This thing is awesome for editing with Adobe apps! I'm also new to PC gaming as I've only ever used consoles but I decided to pickup a GPU intensive game like Assassins Creed Odyssey to see how well it would work and I am able to play in 4K with about 32 fps in the highest settings. In 1080p getting about 65 fps. This is really good for this game and I'm sure it would crank out more with lester settings. I can't wait to benchmark with other games. If you are on the verge, it is honestly a great PC for the price. Highly unlikely you'll be able to build it yourself for this price.

I’ve had this pc for roughly 4 months now and it is a an ok pc. Granted I play destiny 2 mostly and could play at max settings fairly easily out of the box. The problems I have with this pc is the case or came with. The motherboard. And the ram. So almost everything. The case is not set for air flow at all. I fact this case (the white one pictured as the clip art) is an AIO/water cooled case. You have two exhaust vents. One at the back and one on top. Your top vent can support a 140mm fan and the rear is a 120mm fan. The two fans that are placed towards the front of the case were initially set up as exhaust fans but flip them around and you have intake fans. However, due to their lack of control (apevia rgb fans are what came with mine and cyberpower used their same controller but slapped the cyberpower sticker over the apevia logo) you get minimal effectiveness out of the fans. You have minimal air flow coming from the side of the case that hides your cable management due to the space away from the vents and the low fan speed that you can’t control unless purchasing a new controller. The motherboard is a micro atx gigabyte ds3h board that is okay. The Ryzen 2700x depends on ram speed to be efficient and this board is capped to 2966 ddr4 and they provided me with 16gb 2666 ram out the box. Also. The WiFi card used requires the PCie slot to be stable. Not a big deal. It also needs a motherboard plug in to get power (unlike my newly upgraded fevia WiFi card). The problem with this setup is the only other slot for your WiFi cars with the gigabyte board is literally a centimeter away from the gpu fans. The board is just big enough it blocks 85% of one of two intake fans for the gpu. Making it completely useless for airflow. You get two system fan headers with the board so you don’t really have any option to add more fans to the case to optimize the terrible air flow you do have without using splitters Or a fan controller unit. By the way. Those of you wondering about the PSU it’s an all in one unit that I wouldn’t even bother having. I’ve upgraded quite a bit of things on my pc already and realize now I should have just built my own rig like I originally wanted to. The ram being a slower ram would cause map loading issues with destiny 2 (hence why I have 32gb 3200 ddr4 now) I also got rid of the garbage cpu cooler and went with a Noctua dh15 she fits perfectly by the way and went with a MSI B450 motherboard. But, I’d rather an AIO because the lack of air flow in the case. You have no front fans pushing the air towards the back of the case. No way to mount front fans without drilling into the case. The exhaust fans on the side blow air directly into the tempered glass and that’s it when you make them intake fans. All in all, get a water cooler for this pc. If you’re using it for average gaming it’s great. And do yourself a favor and change out the psu. I personally went with a EVGA supernova 850 g+. My 2700x runs like a top with a slight overclock to 4.15ghz. Never had any failures with the pc at any level even with the out of the box components. I just have a problem of not being able to leave stuff alone.

Having had this computer for a few months, I think I am ready to objectively post this review. **Initial Specs** First of all, some comments on the parts chosen. My specific model came with: - a ZOTAC "Blower" RTX 2070 8GB, - a "CoolerOne" AM4 cooler (which isn't a name brand), - and 16GB GeIL Evo Potenza 2666MHz RAM, though in the store, I happened to view the same model of PC with the same advertised "16GB DDR4, 2070, Ryzen 7 2700X" spec list, but with: - a ZOTAC Mini 2070 (which has better thermals), - an AMD Stock cooler (which I will get to later), - and G.Skill RAM DIMMs. I had a positive expectation for the performance of the PC when I had purchased it, coming from an Intel i7 7700HQ with a GTX 1060 (laptop). However, due to the choice in components, I had some fairly severe issues. **Initial Performance and CPU Overheating** I like to play the new modern games like Tom Clancy's The Division 2, which this PC came with a code for but I had pre-ordered it so I already had the game prior, as well as some older games like Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. My performance was very good in these games, though the thermals were very worrying. The GPU fared pretty well only ever topping out at 80 Celsius, which can be toasty to some but is fairly safe. However, over time, my CPU would burn hotter and hotter, even playing simpler games such as Counter-Strike, and eventually shutting off entirely in the middle of a game due to overheating. The provided heatsink I received was the "CoolerOne" AM4 Cooler, which, with a quick Google search, provides no website, only an Amazon listing for the cooler, without any reviews or questions. The thermals with this heatsink were atrocious, and objectively underpowered for the Ryzen 7 2700X, a 105W TDP CPU. That cooler may have done *okay* for the 65W 2700 non-X or even the Ryzen 5 2600, but otherwise performed terribly. I ended up replacing this with an Arctic 34 eSports DUO with Arctic MX-4 thermal compound, and have never gone above 56 Celsius. Much better, but for $1400, I had expected a better thermal solution for this computer. **Fan Arrangement** Next, the fan arrangement. It comes with 3 RGB "CyberPowerPC" fans and a remote, which is nice, but all of the fan headers are plugged into a fan controller behind the motherboard, which means you can not control the speed of the fans. To make matters worse, both the fan in the rear and fans in the front were all facing outwards, which creates a negative air pressure inside of the computer case. This drastically decreases thermal performance, as well as draws dust into the computer through every crack possible, including the 140mm fan grate that is left completely open at the top of the case. I personally put a Noctua 140mm slim fan with a dust filter blowing *out* in there. I also strongly advise to those who wish to purchase this PC to flip your front fans so the sticker is facing inside, pulling air in the front. With this setup, and the proper CPU heatsink fan configuration, you can create a neutral air pressure, and a good air *flow* through the case, which is great for thermals. **RAM** I also went ahead and replaced the 16GB 2666MHz GeIL Evo Potenza RAM (not a no-name brand, but definitely not as reputable) with 32GB 3200MHz Corsair Vengeance Pro RGB, though if you intend to install new RAM modules to check your BIOS for the proper XMP profile to ensure you get the best performance out of your RAM. Without it, you may run at 2133MHz, which is much slower. Keep in mind this is not a complaint, I had no issues with the RAM, but for the work I do I required more RAM, and wanted a decent upgrade. **Storage** I honestly had no problems with the storage. Comes with a speedy 240GB SSD from Western Digital (WD Green SSD) and a hearty yet durable 2TB mechanical drive from Seagate (Seagate Barracuda), and I have yet to have any issues with either of them. I use the 2TB drive only for games, and the 240GB drive I plan on replacing with a 1TB M.2 SSD from Intel (Intel 660p) on Amazon since it's a steal at $94.99, but it gets the job done just fine and the boot time is very fast. **Final Thoughts** To be entirely honest, this isn't a terrible system. The part selection I happened to get by chance wasn't the best, and I hope others got better luck, but it's by no means inadequate. With 8 Cores and 16 Threads, 16GB of speedy DDR4 RAM, and an RTX-capable 2070, it's a fairly modest powerhouse. My only wish is that I could've gotten the thermal performance to match the actual performance of the system I paid so much for.

These are not built with consistent parts. If you want a cheap gaming computer, this is exactly what you are getting. Even after I water cooled it, it started shutting down from overheating. I added several case fans, doubled the memory and I have a fan pointed directly at the intake. I also have a ceiling fan running, and a floor fan pulling heat out of the room. I have 2 of these and with the large monitors the room heats up. All of the parts match stat wise but aren't the same parts. However the while the graphics cards look the same when I go to adjust the performance on them, they don't match. This was supposed to have 2 hard drives. One had a hybrid hard drive which they claimed was 2 hard drives. The other pc had the 2 separate hard drives. They really shouldn't even bother adding 256 boot drives in any computer. It it fills up fast. I had two 1TB SSD installed these computers. That works out a bit better.

I got this for my son as a birthday gift last year. He always wanted a gaming pc. As a middle schooler, he wanted something to be able to handle war-thunder without it looking like a slideshow. This definitely hit the mark. Something that will last him for years. He don't care about the cool next gen features, as long as it has a smooth frame-rate (and this does at 1080p on whatever max level). This easily spits out 60+fps on his main two games, f1 2020 and wart-hunder. Even gears 5 runs without a hitch. Great purchase for anyone who wants to experience gaming on a PC. I am actually planning on purchasing one as my next personal PC.

If you don’t want to wait for product to arrive for building your own pc this pc will faaaar exceed your needs . I’ve stress tested this unit and it hasn’t slowed down one bit .

This Beast of a PC can handle pretty much every game on Ultra settings with ease. I had it for about three and half weeks now and have had no problems with it. I would highly recommend this pc for anyone looking into getting into pc gaming.

This is a fantastic entry level gaming PC. It gets a lot of hate from PC building community. Especially on reddit... I love it and will build from this PC in the future.

I have always hated computers.i find them difficult And finicky BUT this monster has changed my mind. this is effectively executing every task I give it and helping me dominate my friends and family in games and that’s pretty cool thank you.#cyberpowerlife

What can I say except , just buy it and get used to clicking and seeing things happen immediately! Super fast boot time, great graphics out the box , fast rendering and multitasking is flawless

I use this station for video editing and wish it was a better buy. It’s less than two months and has given us trouble since day one out of the box. We called tech support and they helped us get it going, but it’s been giving so many problems. It randomly freezes up even when I’m editing something basic in Photoshop. The mouse and keyboard constantly stop working and force me to restart the whole station just so I can get back to work. Exporting and uploading is fine, it’s just these random freezes. At first I thought it was a ram compatibly issue, so I called tech support again. They told me to be sure all installed ram was the same frequency so I removed the pre-installed ram and kept my newer higher frequency ram. This helped the problem for a couple of days but now it’s back to acting up again. It freezes up and I’m afraid it’s a motherboard issue this time. I really want to give a great review for this computer, but I just can’t. Everything else works smoothly except for these freezes. I need my computer for my livelihood and I’m really worried that one day it’s just gonna crap out completely on me and I’ll be out of a job. Tech support says I’ll have to mail them the whole machine if I want them to fix it under the warranty. Just don’t buy it. Ugh!

Only issue is cooling situation but I flipped the internal fans around to pull air out versus pushing it in and that helped. Other than that I love it and has been able to handle all the stuff I’ve thrown at it.

I purchase this computer because the inners are really good quality. The first one I purchased was extremely laggy. I returned writhing a day or two and received a replacement. That one kept loosing internet even being tethered in. Then there was an update and I updated and the motherboard crashed! I would give a no star if I could but the graphics card is really good along with everything else EXCEPT motherboard, which is trash. I would recommend look for a different motherboard then this one and keep everything else about this unit. Good luck!

After plugging it in for the first time I got "select proper boot device" would restart and go into bios to see it couldn't see the ssd restart again it would find it I could play for a while and random times it after turning it off it wouldn't find the ssd after calling tech support they tell me best buy diagnostics dont do anything and just every part of this feels like a waste of my time and money rest assured I probably wont ever by one of there pcs again it was ok while it lasted i guess. If u want a PC that will work for five months and break down than this is the PC for you. Plus they said they would give me a new ssd but sending it out at my expenses and wont give me one until they recieve mine... Terrible Experience P.S dont call there customer service all they did was talk bad about best buy and tell me they cant do anything but put a ticket in

The pc is strong overall, the components are great and it runs super smooth but a couple things here bother me. The HD is extremely slow for some reason, I’m not sure if I got a defected one or it’s just slow in general. It can’t keep up with the downloads I try to put on it. the second thing I’m not to happy about is the cheap motherboard this computer came with. It comes with 4 SATA ports with only 2 that are available to use because the other 2 are blocked by the graphics card.. seriously? 1500 dollars and you put a 70 dollar motherboard in the computer !

We purchased this pc on Aug 30th. Set it up and had problems with the pc freezing day one. We made sure all components were properly secured just in case during shipping came loose. We even factory rest the computer after doing so. The system freezes so badly and we haven't even downloaded a single program. We are going to return this computer because it shouldn't have these kind of problems out the box. I'm just glad it happened before I invested too much time into it before i lost anything important. I would have expected this kind of craftsmanship out of a $300 computer not a $1200 one.

This computer is very good at gaming and I really like the lighting in the computer

You can easily find forum after forum with people reporting problems with this card and the 2080. Seems to be to new and unproven. Incompatibility issues and over heating issues. I myself am going through the replacement process. Had multiple crashes then the computer just restarted itself and auto adjusted the resolution to 480p. The graphics card would not work for a whole day. I reset my pc wiping everything and still nothing. Woke up this morning and now it's working again. Not sure what the answer is here. Seems to be to early in this cards lifespan to take the risk. My pc also Came in the mail and looked like it had been dropped several times badly.

My background is that I'm somewhat into technology but never a big time pc guy. I've always had a computer for everyday tasks, but never a gamer. I replaced a Dell XPS from 2011 that I bought from Best Buy. I was going to build a pc in 2011 but Best Buy had the dell with a monitor for cheaper than what my build was with the same specs. After a couple of years I wanted to tinker with it but, it was limited to what I could do with it due to the case and internals. A few years later I built one for my sister, and made me regret not building my own when I bought the Dell. So the Dell even with a SSD upgrade just started getting on my nerves with it being so sluggish with it's old I5, and 2.0 usb ports. I had a good idea with what I was going to build with. I was dead set on a 8700k and a basic GPU, just to fire up a game if I wanted. I was buying a monitor for my son when I saw this on the open box rack. I actually opened it up on the floor and took pictures of the internals and looked everything up. All the parts got good reviews, it was a little different than what I was going with. It has an AMD 2700x and a 2070 card that is way overkill for what I do. The thing that tipped me on buying, is that it saved me a lot more money than what my basic build would have. I had a 2003 HP with an AMD athlon so I havn't looked at AMD for a long time after hearing the I series hype for so long. Gotta say I'm pretty impressed by the 2700x so far ,and If I was giving someone advise I would recommend the 2700x for current price and performance, or maybe wait and see what the 3000 series looks like in a month or so to build with. The 2070 is a Zotac blower card. I have downloaded the promotional AMD games, Apex Legends, and Mordhau, and all of those with uncapped framerates max out the graphics and they at least hit over 140 frames per second. Everything is silky smooth so far. I honestly thought about selling the card and getting something a little cheaper, but after using it I don't think its worth the hassle taking it out and buying a 580 or 1660. I kinda like to throw things at it and see what it can do. Next debate was do I want to deal with a company that I know very little about. After looking at it I took the plunge because any part in the PC is off the shelf parts I can replace if something goes out. It has all the RGB stuff which I didn't care about but is kinda cool. I have contacted them a couple of time about little things , and they have replied the same day or the next. One question wasn't really their issue because it was about the free games. They responded and steered me in the right direction. The other issue I had is that the pc wouldn't wake from sleep with the keyboard or mouse. I was going into the windows power settings trying to fix it. I emailed Cyberpower and they sent me to the MSI bios setting that I overlooked and that fixed it. I haven't had to deal with them on a serious issue on hardware yet, so I can't comment on that service (hopefully I won't need to.) This is about the only review I have ever wrote, let alone being a short story on a purchase. I think if your on the fence about building and this looks close to what you want then go for it, especially if it saves you some money.

I absolutely love this! I have been wanting to get a good gaming computer for years and after months of research, this was perfect considering my price range. This has great memory, great graphics card, the rgb lighting looks great, and this runs super fast and super smooth. The ONLY reason I am not giving this five stars is because when I bought this, I was supposed to 3 free games with it (The Division 2, World War Z, and Wolfenstein Young Blood). Unfortunately I only got the first and I was supposed to get a code for Wolfenstein once it released and still haven’t received it. Overall if you’re looking for a powerful computer that can play all your games on at least 60 FPS, I highly recommend this!
