BUYER BEWARE!!! (Read Whole Review)
The Below Review is the exact expirience you will receive.
At first, this computer seems Amazing.
Yet, after two days mine died. The manufacturer was extremely reluctant to help. If it weren’t for amazon I would be out a computer for a month becuase CyberpowerPC only wanted to send me replacement parts, and they would take 3 weeks to cross ship. I would also have to install the part myself. Now for those who are skeptical, no I didn’t receive a lemon. 60% of PC’s purchased through CyberPowerPC have the same issues as I. Now, if your willing to fake the computer apart, the common issue is a defective motherboard and low voltage PSU. Buying both of these parts at high quality would run you about $200. As a said, 60% of these PC’s have issues. So if your willing to risk it, 40% don’t. Also, your secure with Amazon on your side. Just don’t expect anything from the manufacturer.
Below is the review of my PC BEFORE it crashed. So yes, the PC is great. WHEN IT WORKS. Until I receive my new Unit from Amazon and there is a form of compensation, this review will stay posted.
Best Price for Performance Ratio in Its Class.
Beautiful case, amazing color scheme. Runs 90% of games at 1080p Ultra 60 FPS. Would HIGHLY recommend the i5-8400 version. Internals are easily accessible. Well designed keyboard and mouse. Only downfall is the lack of SSD, but in terms of performance that is irrelevant. For those of interested Installing one isn’t cheap, and it’s lengthy due to the neccisary reinstallation of Windows. Only those who seek speedy load / boot times would benefit from such an upgrade. Otherwise it’s unnecessary. External SSD’s are also an option. In terms of future use, this computer comes with an MSI branded B360M Motherboard. This motherboard is newer, and supports the latest 8th gen Intel CPU. (Another reason to spend the extra $20) For those who want to keep this computer 5-10 years. It’s definitely feasible. I recommend the 4 year warranty from square space. They really reputable and the same plan can be found at staples for $150 more...
Summary:
Purchase i5-8400! For $20 extra your truly benefiting. Newer CPU, more cores, and a newer motherboard.
Pros: $400 graphics card
MSI B360M w/ 4 ram slots
Above average cooling, yet
Room for improvement.
Nice MSI RX 580
Great Case
Overall High Performance for a low price
VR Ready
Cons:
CPU is not a K, so therefore it is not overclockable.
Yet! It has not proved to be a drawback, just limits the CPU’s longevity.
Too Large a footprint.
PSU is only 450w. Cannot support larger GPU’s or a more demanding CPU
This PC has the best parts you can find for the price point. If you were to build yourself, depending on your preferred retailer, this setup could cost you more. For those who are skeptical of the low price, it’s only becuase CyberPowerPC buys in bulk, so the parts are much cheaper for them than consumers. Also they buy direct from the manufacturer, which avoids the rising costs in computer parts due to crypto mining rigs.
Overall 9.5/10
Performance: 10/10
Longevity: 9/10
Visuals: 9.5/10
