We're really trying hard to find a good pre-built that we can recommend for use out-of-box and without modification for mainstream buyers. We're open to your suggestions: Have you seen one online that seems actually good? Or maybe a friend bought one that's good? Let us know in a top-level comment (easier to search than replies to this one) so that we can try to source some good ones!

Today I saw a cyberpower i5 14th gen with 32gb ddr5 ram and 2tb NVMe. Amazing specs for a $900 price. But the cheap cooler on this one also worries me.
Ah yes back when GN wasn’t on ASUS’s black list🤣

There are 0 reasons to buy a prebuilt gaming PC. It's not that difficult to build a PC, like at all, and the amount of money you save from doing it yourself is substantial.
I would almost rather them physically cut that centipede out of the case with some scissors or something as opposed to that…
I just need to know if it is a good budget pc
A "Upgrade" for that stock cooler, would be just machining the cooler copper slug so its level with the alloy bottom and entire thing is touching CPU
Something that I noticed initially is WHY are all the case fans oriented as EXHAUST? No supply fans? I saw that you flipped the side fans around at one point, but not much was said about it, unless I missed it (adhd).
CyberpowerPC is crap! I just bought a high end ($4K) PC from CyberpowerPC and it looked, and worked, like a drunk middle-schooler built it! It was obviously shipped untested, as the front panel USB 2.0 did not work. When I opened the case up to investigate, the cable routing was unbelievably bad, and the cable from the front USB 2.0 ports was not even plugged in!!!! Stay away from CyberpowerPC!!!!!
Update:
Now that the dust has settled, my experience has been similar to the video presented here. After many hours of re-routing, re-assembly, and re-configuring, I have an awesome computer. And I must add, the after the sale support I received from CyberpowerPC was actually quite good. In fact, they offered a full refund on the unit WITHOUT having to resort to arm twisting. I kept the unit due to the fact that I could see that quality components were used (as selected by me) and the potential was there. However, the only reason I did not do the build myself in the first place, was to avoid the many hours of tweaking and tinkering that I ended up having to go through anyway, and in fact, were multiplied greatly. So, not a complete disaster, but next time I will avoid a great deal of stress and build it myself, while saving money as well.
Just recently bought a pc from them. I’m having issues with the centipede of connectors and trying to get a icue h100i operating with out cpu fan error while booting bios
Oh boy. I started my pc gaming journey with a similar model to this one, only difference being mine used an MSi motherboard. I had no idea how bad the CPU cooling was and wondered why the performance wasn't great at times.
Fast forward to this weekend and gutted the case and started fresh with all new parts. We all gotta start somewhere, right?
So I know this is a older video but for those of you who are still wanting to go with them if I was you I would rather just either build your own or go with someone else. I had the system for 6 months from this comment and I had the cpu that had really bad temps 100 with load even playing cyberpunk at 1080p high I got 100 temp. I changed the cooler got an aio that’s all fine but the next issue I had that I didn’t know was the graphics card from zotac ended up slowly dying fast to the point where any game I played ended up turning my pc off or just losing signal all together whole hearing stuff like discord or the game still. Their rma customer service is horrible also because they are making me pay for the shipment of their product when it was bad out the box. I since went ahead and just did a 3000 dollar build for myself and was well worth it and it helped me find out alot of the issue that build from cyberpower had. Buyer beware because if you still do go with them your going to have to upgrade alot and maybe have alot of headache.
I bought a Cyberpower prebuilt through NewEgg years ago. Pretty much immediately started having issues so I contacted support about it, in the mean time doing some research on the problem on my own. Turned out the motherboard didn't properly support the AMD Bulldozer CPU which came with it but since the MOBO was so old, they never released a BIOS update to address the problem. I knew all this by the time I had shipped my computer to them, at my cost.
What happened next was a week's worth of acrimonious e-mails and phone calls between me an the affectionately known "Motherfucker Mike" in CP's tech support department. In these communiques, Motherfucker Mike plainly accused me of swapping out the PSU on this computer and that they weren't going to be able to service it. At length of trying to explain to him why that was not only absurd but also what the actual issue was, I got a more canned e-mail from CP's tech support saying how they'd fixed the issue and tested the rig and they'd be sending it back ASAP and thank you for letting Cyperpower serve you!
They sent me back the exact same computer and it never worked.
Cyperpower can go straight to hell, will never do business with them again and always warn people away.
Welp, considering that Thermalright single tower coolers are like a Jackson (which is probably just a Hamilton a piece if bulk purchase is being made like System Integrators would), there's really no excuse of not offering decent cooling on a prebuilt that's like starting above 750 bucks anymore.
that pressure test measurement better chill tf out
I got a cyber power a few years back with a ryzen 5 3600 and a rx 580 for about 800 bucks. For the price that computer actually served me really well. I finally went to building them myself now though😎
this guy nitpicks sooo much, he should start nitpicking on how he looks because nobody will take advice from someone that looks like a neanderthal. With the amount of nitpicking he has done he couldve spent a single second just fixing his hair or teeth.
they have gotten much better
I added fans the other day after a year of having the side fans as exhaust
As someone who bought a Cyberpower machine in 2019 I think it's worth noting that they do let you pick every component specifically in a way that fixes pretty much all the problems here.
For $0 more you can pick 4 other cooling solutions to this one, for $10 more you can choose a dual channel kit of RAM, and for only like $50 more you could get a much better motherboard when starting from this same base.
The moral of the story is don't buy prebuilts from a 3rd party vendor, buy it from the builder directly and use the configuration tool if it's available.
I hope smaller companies like iBuyPower / CyberPower will one day overtake the home desktop sales of dell or hp.
However in the education/office environments, I don’t foresee a end to them as most managers don’t see the value in standard pc components / aren’t aware that the oem’s purposely do this practice to increase sales.
(I’m not saying the whole of dell is terrible, I have personally used their xps line firsthand and can see the value of them in the laptop market – they are even the pioneers of a new open ddr5 laptop standard)
HELP! I was sent to you for advice. I'm on a limited budget. I want to buy a pre-build PC that I can add RAM and a graphics card and will run great. What's a cheap PC that will work good under those conditions? Thanks for any suggestions
