Picked this gaming PC up for under $1000 (before taxes). At that price, it's an awesome value. The graphics card (EVGA single fan three slot), mobo (ASRock), case fans (Cooler Master), and CPU (11th gen Intel i5) together are worth it. Based on my own experience and reviews, part quality varies.In my particular rig, there was a 600W Gold Aptevia PSU. Glad I thought ahead and got an Asus Thor 850W Platinum. IMHO 750W is the bare minimum these days for headroom, 850W gives you much more wiggle room, 1000W futureproofs you unless you are on the insane bleeding edge of tech.Stock CPU cooler/fan for me was Deep Cool block-style heatsink+fan combo. Meh.. Replaced that with a V5 tower cooler. 500GBSSD with no additional storage?? Dropped a WD 10TB gaming HDD in on the cheap. 8GB T-Force DDR4 RAM? Points for heat spreader and red color for visual appeal... But 8GB is below today's standards for gaming and overall performance.That stuff is all icing on the cake. The biggest deal-breaker for me as an old fart who is used to full towers and expansion options is the absence of expansion bays and proper full height and half height drive options. Unlike other reviewers, I was fortunate to get the rails for one full-size/mechanical HDD. It's a snap-in pin-in style rail system from Cooler Master.. and it does the job. But good luck with any aftermarket anti-vibration mounting kits. It just won't work.There is tons of space to work with but it is wasted as an "airflow chamber". There are no external bays because the three front intake fans block the way. Say goodbye to external optical drives, hot-swap bays, digital dashboards, or anything else of the sort.Another odd choice is forcing the PSU and any additional drives to a bottom compartment. You're cutting off key components from the airflow in the main chamber. It's just an odd choice that seems to favor anesthetics. Due to the odd design choices, the transparent side panel right of the control panel is only a 3/4 view, which detracts from the RGB potential.That said, this was still the best choice on Amazon and Newegg alike to be used as a baseline for upgrading at the $1000ish price point. It's a shame they didn't go a few inches and push that value proposition. We can blame the supply chain issues and semiconductor situation but I think that, at the end of the day, it's just a lazy attempt to improve profit margins.Now, I haven't tested the rig fully but I am still confident it was more cost-effective than building from scratch. The EVGA Nvidia 2060 6GB graphics card makes it a very compelling choice so I ain't mad. Just wish CyberPower went just a little further because they have an opportunity here to take a major market share. I mean, try getting an Alienware at similar specs for anywhere close to this price point.. it just ain't happening!So far, I recommend it but be aware of what you get and may have to potentially replace. Power, memory, and cooling are definitely worthwhile considerations depending on your needs.Reinforcing the little bad there is: tiny motherboard, no real expansion options, super hot GPU, tons of wasted space... I added two high-CFM chassis/case fans and a GPU cooler and that's still not quite enough. I'm not a fan of liquid cooling outside of bleeding edge OC setups so your best bet may be replacing the stock fans, though I will say they are solid CoolerMaster units.P.S. My particular build came with the RTX 2060 Super which is even more of a value. This GPU really performs. Super pleased, especially considering many reviewers only got the base version of the graphics card.UPDATE 11/13/22: I'd honestly give this rig a 5/5 score but I'm a real stickler about upgradability. The lack of front expansion bays is typical today but the biggest shame is that it looks like a full-sized ATX board would fit yet they opted for mATX with only one available PCI slot below the GPU. I get it: it's to improve airflow and most won't use the expansion options but still.. Booger. On the bright side, if you're hard-core and want to go overkill with a water cooling system, you should have space to work with.The quality of the parts and configuration is more than sufficient for the default setup. I simply did not like my GPU running so hot on ultra settings so I had to get the extra fans and even a simple GPU cooler. Better safe than sorry, I say.. and this should future proof me if I ever wanna go with a better GPU. The 2060 Super performs really well, its just a shame they went with a single fan setup.Back to the mobo, I was impressed with the supplied ASRock. It has a ton of headers for adding fans, drives, ARGB lights, USB, and more. I'd put this guy slightly below my favorite mobo brand these days, ASUS.So, a quick review of the highlights:PROS:* Mid-range ASRock gaming motherboard* Nvidia RTX 2060 Super 6GB* Room for additional fans (2x or AIO)* Spiffy RGB setup (Apevia controller and remote) with cool patterns* CoolMaster fans [4 total]* Super quiet operation* Takes pretty much anything you throw at it (so long as you don't hardcore multitask)CONS:* 8GB TForce RAM chip (solid brand, crappy amount)* 600W PSU (bare minimum for stock config)* Limited storage space (though the WD 500GB M2 drive performs very well)* Lots of empty space in the case (could be seen as a good or bad thing)* Not very expandableOverall, this rig should fit most gaming and productivity needs at a great price. There are little details that I really appreciate, like the easy access on the front panel and solid tempered glass side panel. It's simply a pleasure turning this bad boy on and enjoying how quiet and humble it is. The performance was surprising indeed, though I did upgrade quite a bit. You definitely need 16GB of RAM or better these days IMHO.If you plan to use this strictly for gaming and don't play a ton of different games, I think the stock build will suit you very well. Very, very happy with this purchase and I can tell CyberPower has really stepped up their game from what they were doing around 8 years ago. I'm definitely sticking with CyberPower and ASUS for the foreseeable future. These guys are the juggernauts in the gaming industry these days, if you ask me!
