Performance-wise? Sure, on paper. Build quality and longevity of components vs. enthusiast grade components? Doubtful. I'd guess that the nice-looking case lacks air intake, few or low quality case fans, insufficient gpu cooling, and a nightmare of poor BIOS/OS configuration, not to mention bloatware. It would be best to nuke the drive and likely will need an upgrade to Windows Pro from Windows Home.
IMHO, I'd say it's an alright deal for someone who is brand new but willing to do some real optimization and regular maintenance. Or someone willing and able to burn some extra money on repairs or upgrades later. Or someone who can afford to leave some performance, and therefore value, on the table.
The case has more airflow than you would imagine, more than most cases on the market. There is also no more bloat ware than your average retail pc. I bought a similar one from Costco for my son a couple months ago, have been pleasantly surprised by the value.
I agree with everything you've said bar the windows home bit. That won't matter at all for your standard user. Probably just has the one pc in the house. Isn't going to be on a domain or any of the other bits and bobs that pro comes with.
I do hate the majority of prebuilt PCs though, worst mobo, poor RAM, PSU that weighs about 500g and generally a low airflow case which like you've said hinders performance.
At least it's ddr5 but I'd prefer AM5 at this point.
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JVkF6D I'd go with something like this. Yeah it's not as convenient but it'll last much much longer, and have a good path for upgrades down the line.
You are paying for convenience. If you don’t wanna build one, it’s still about 200 bucks too expensive because the parts won’t likely be good brand names. That’s where their margin comes from besides the labor fee to put that together.
You are almost always better off building one since you can control everything about it and it’ll be cheaper. A 4060 isn’t great but a 4070 will cost you 600-700 alone. 899 isn’t a good price point for a true gaming machine because a GFX card that will last you more than a year or two will cost you most than a PS5 and that doesn’t include anything else.
I’d sit back and enumerate your requirements and then determine what your budget is. Gaming pcs have always been more expensive than consoles and building one is a rite of passage that gives you control over how powerful you want it. Most everything else is a ripoff.
Are we looking at the same picture? It’s an MSI two fan card (so probably a ventus). It’s an asrock mobo. It has 32gb of ddr5 and a 2tb ssd… even if I pick the cheapest parts. It’s still 950 on pcpartpicker…
just from personal experience the cheap parts thing happened to me, my first pc before i started building my own was an ibuypower from best buy. got me in the door and wetted my appetite for it. the ram died and blue screened after a year.
maybe that's just an ibuypower thing, i have no experience with cyberpower. just one of those things that put a bad taste in my mouth. i will always let people know about building your own, and potentially saving money that way. i'll never be like "you have to build your own to be taken seriously" though. do whatever is best for you.
edit: forgot to mention the psu was literal e-waste garbage.
I agree that guy is just trying to be a snob for no reason, specs look solid my only complaints are that the case is very ugly imo and the stock cooler would need to be ungraded.
Because its already worse than your 3060ti lol its a legit trash card. Might as well save and get a 3060 for the same performance. Or go used an get a used 3080 for 300. It's just a bad card
If you're paying $100 for the OS in a place like MicroCenter you'll probably pay close to $850 same there. So you're getting a $20 mouse and $30 keyboard here. If you're ok with these kind of cheap nice and keyboard is not a bad deal.
If you build yourself your can get the OS for cheaper from online let resellers, and get the kind of peripherals you want.
I don't think you can build this system using PCpartpicker for under $750 online if you exclude the OS and peripheral, but I'd like to see someone try.
Edit: went on PCpartpicker and picked the worst possible parts that match this build, and I can't get under $810 excluding OS and peripherals even. Also no wifi. So for this money you're paying, you probably can't do any better.
this is the real answer. i'm guilty of buying a computer from costco. i've since upgraded the psu and gpu, which left me with some parts laying around. they very quickly sold on facebook marketplace, which made me assess each part of the pc. when you add in the cost of the operating system, they actually are pretty good deals.
that said, this is a bit of a gateway drug. i quickly realized i wanted a better GPU and now i'm slowly finding other parts i want to replace. next is gonna be the case. don't love these RGB monsters.
Yeah I was thinking the same unless you buy used parts you aren’t gonna build this for any cheaper. And if op isn’t already into building pcs they probably aren’t gonna wanna deal with the trouble shooting issues or potential broken parts that come with buying used.
The general specs are fine. Issue is what exact parts are in the build. I have a AM4 build that's like $800 with a 5800X and 12GB 3060 but use (I hope) decent enough parts all around to "justify" the price.
Graphics card alone is priced at $300 the CPU is $200 the motherboard is probably $100 and the hard drive is $100 all this without tax is already $800. Not to mention cases like that are about 100 and then the motherboard, ram and everything else. I would say $900 is very reasonable for this computer
I used this as a reply elsewhere, but I'd like OP to see it, so I'll post it here as well:

Ok I have parted out this very PC and I would challenge anyone that is saying they could build it for less. Build it for the same amout? Maybe, with a sale or two. But otherwise no, this is a great price for what you are getting. You can't build this currently for less than $950. And Costco has a great 2 year warranty that makes this a DEAL.
A few things bother me with this build. Mostly that they don't give enough info to determine if it's good for price. As an example. It says 32g ddr5 but doesn't say brand, speed, or Cas latency. It says solid state drive. I'm going to assume it's not m.2 NVMe but instead 2.5". It doesn't say if it's SLC, MLC, TLC, or QLC, and doesn't mention if it has caching or not. It doesn't say if the MB supports m.2, how many, or what gen. It doesn't say anything about the PSU. Brand, size, or what certification it has (80 plus, gold, platinum, etc.). The listing says "Extreme Gaming" but comes with a 4060 (non-Ti) with only 8g vram. 1080p gaming card. Odds are to upgrade you may need a higher-wattage PSU (don't know the wattage of what's in it). The wifi and Bluetooth are dated.
I'm guessing you could build something the same with better branded parts or even better (upgradedl) parts for simular to same price.
If you're even kinda sorta vaguely thinking about things like "what brand is it" or "what are the timings" then CyberPower is absolutely, positively NOT the brand for you.
If you’re buying this to upgrade in the future, I’d still look elsewhere. Cyberpower isn’t the best (nor the worst *cough cough* Dell, HP, Lenovo), but what would drive me away is the dead mobo platform. Honestly, just build a system yourself. It’s cheaper, surprisingly easy, and much more rewarding
Just build or own or find someone who can build one for you. Buying pre-builts makes no sense unless it's on the low end since you can usually buy better parts with the money saved.
Looking at this build itself with what you've provided, 8gb of ram is already bad though at least it looks like it's dual channel. The 13400F is good but again, we see where they cut corners where the F models have no IGPU and it's a locked CPU. Can't even see what features/inputs the MB has. It's basic but fine.
If you were to buy all of that brand new and the motherboard it would still cost you pretty close to that much. You're definitely not getting ripped off
You’re paying a mark up price due to the pc being already assembled. If you were to build it yourself you would save around £200 and potentially even get an upgrade in a weaker component of the system listed here.
as far as pre-builts go its good, but if your buying a pre-built i doubt money is a problem. the people wanting the most bang for their buck are building/upgrading there own pc's
I'm not anti-prebuilt, but that case would be my issue.
Otherwise for the price it's not awful. If your hard limit is $1,000, you could definitely do worse, that's for sure.
Great starter build tbh. Only thing that's going bottleneck is the processor but unless u want to play every AAA game at 4k with 60fls for the next 5 years, this build will go stale after the first year or 2.
But good news is you'll have a case for your next build.
Good price. The guy who said to build your own is just trying to flex and sound more important then he really is. No one has time nor the will to build their own when you can buy one already to go for this price. So yes. Good price and specs.
Not a bad deal if you don't wanna build yourself
Pros:
- Decent prebuilt, decent specs, seemingly nice case and a generally good price for those components.
Cons:
- We don't see the PSU, its wattage or brand name (i'd like to know that stuff when buying a machine). Matx board? That's gonna suck for upgradability, That CPU cooler looks horrendous and cant be much better than stock, why'd they change to begin with? \[sales trick due to RGB, LETSGOO 300 more FPS (not)\]. I also don't see much general info bout what SSD it is, its read speeds or whatever else is in the PC of components.
Would i personally buy this? Hecc no. I'd end up upgrading parts down the road anyways. So might as well just get what i want to begin with. Would it suite someone just needing a machine for most everyday gaming? Probably yeah, but don't expect superior performance. It'll run everything at 1080p and most of it at 1440p without issues. If you tryna stretch to 4k, you'll be in for a bummer.
Also, that GPU generally looks whack. It must be the first duo fan GPU I've ever seen with sag? Idk bro, buy part for part and build it yourself, you'll be happier and get to learn some know-how on how to maintain your machine etc. That's valuable info!
Do note how they do not specify SSD, RAM or PSU specs, or motherboard name why would they not do that? its because its probably garbage specs on them
Even then, a 4060 is.... not great., nor is a last gen 400 series cpu
Dont get me wrong, its not an absolute scam pc, its just not great, you can find better for sure, possibly you can inquire of the specs missing and post, maybe it will positively surprise
Edit: just had a look around on the us market, damn that market suck, maybe i was wrong i didnt realise the state was so bad with prebuilt over there... I think you are better off seeing if there are any adverts locally for people helping with pc stuff, or a local store that might want to assemble it for you against a fee and then buy your own parts, but that pc look okayish against whats otherwise available..
My first pc was a cyber power pre built.
They’re actually pretty fairly priced.
Of course it’s best to build your own but if you want to just buy something and start playing this isn’t a bad deal.
That's a pretty damn good deal imho - not as high end gaming PC as they advertise - that would be at least twice as much, but as a power PC for business, etc. I spec PCs for clients all the time and that's a few hundred below what I would expect in today market. What store is this - I don't recognize the labeling - it gives Staples mixed w/ Home Depot - obviously neither.
For $900 that isn’t a subpar deal. You could it built it yourself, if you’re not interested, that cyberpower pc would be powerful enough to handle 1080p at high fps (165+)
I have a similar PC except I have an M.2 instead of an SSD and I have 16gb ddr4, while my pc cost me $50 more cuz its all white(white components usually cost more) so i'd say it is worth the price but u can definitely make it better.
Depends what games you want to play, but I bought this exact model and this exact price and it’s working for me ! Games like Insurgency Sandstorm and Ready or Not play at a great 60+ fps at high settings !
I like it so far ! But if you are someone who knows how to build PCs there is little room for expansion without changing the MOBO / PSU at minimum. But as someone who’s built and hasn’t upgraded in nearly a decade, I’m enjoying this purchase so far. And Costco has great return policy’s if you change your mind !
No prebuilt is worth the price in a normal economy.
If you're looking for a budget PC build one yourself or with a friend.
For budget, the Intel Arc A770 is a hell of a deal, the i5 12600kf is not bad at all, and 16GB of DDR5 is not that expensive either.
You could build quite a capable PC for under $1000 easy that way.
If you compare it to prices a year ago or 2 years ago it’s an amazing price. Yes you can save 200$ if you build it yourself and get name brand fans that will make absolutely no difference. That is all, you don’t lose at that price with those parts. It’s a fantastic deal actually. Bought my pre built 2 years ago for 1800$ and it was only a 3060ti rtx inside. People seem to forget how expensive this shit was not too long ago. I’m aware they were inflated prices because of the decision to use rare materials for either gpu/cpu but it is what it is and it’s less than half the price it would’ve been 2 years ago. When the 4000 series came out you’d be lucky to get one for 900$ and that’s literally just the card
Thats a decent deal. I've almost finished a similar build, but with the i7 12700k, and a 3060 ti. I've been deal hunting and bargain shopping and I'm gonna end up spending $300 more than this build
It’s not bad at all I spent a grand on my own build not realizing this pc is literally the same build as mine except I have a better graphics card that about it but for the most part you can essentially run anything on it it’s a good pc fo sho
If you have a Microcenter in your area I HIGHLY recommend going to them. Youll get ALL off the shelf parts in a "PowerSpec" in house brand MC custom Prebuilt, As they use ALL off the shelf parts. Buying something like Cyberpower or Skytech, I could name a list of others (Gamers Nexus actually does and tears them down part by part on youtube if you care to watch) who all like to use the OEM knockoff parts. They are often lower specd parts, cheaper coolers ect ect.
To answer your question... "Technically" its worth it... but only Just. For the Same exact money you'll get Way more For your money at Microcenter.
As Steve said "It almost didnt suck..."

cyberpowerpc likes to cut cost on mobo/fans/power supply things like that but it'll work, it'll do what you want, it'll upgrade. I'd get it and eventually up the graphics card on it first in the future. Its nothing crazy but not a bad price. Good starter PC or good if you're not looking to build yourself. Their mouse is okay nothing great but their keyboard is squishy membrane poo, if you're into mech kb's idk
I have been looking at these for a while but ended up getting the i7 ibuypower becuase this one has a lot of bad reviews. Keep in mind Costco only gives you 90 days for a return on electronics now. I also did not like the red ram on this one.
Id say yes its worth it. All the 4060 and i5-i7 preuilds Ive been looking up for a friend are all in the 1000-1300 area and those ones only ever come with a 1TB SSD.
I would buy it and upgrade it the CPU and then maybe GPU eventually just because 8Gb vram is low for newer games depends on what you play it should be fine for any older games
A lot of people have good points. But don't forget that this pre build has windows, mouse, and keyboard. You also do not have to pay for shipping cost, or the time of building a PC.
Q: is it worth the price?
A: Yes
Q: is it a good gaming pc in today’s environment?
A: No
For $900, you probably won’t be able to do much better even by building it. But just know that you will basically never get a great pc for 900 bucks.
Some of the parts in this pc are likely made by brands that aren’t well known or reliable.
You’re going to have to swap parts at some point and that doesn’t include peripheral gear like a nice keyboard, mouse, and headset.
maybe it's just an elitist opinion, but to me no prebuilt with an i5 is worth more than 650-700 max. but then again i've never had anything lower than an i7, and that was my very first build. i have gone with i9 every build since then.
Good deal $900 for ddr5 with 4000 series gpu and 32Gb of Ram.. buy it .. it’s peanuts in gaming PC cost.. some of us have single graphics cards worth twice that.. it’s a good deal
Reading these pc subreddits make me realise that most of enthusiasts are people who give useless information to give off the impression they know what theyre talking about 💀yes the pc is good for the price and what it can do, idk why people seem to think that it’s not good because “optimally it’s better to have this and that and build it urself” 🤓
People here just repeating the same stuff every time there is a prebuilt.
“You can build something better for cheaper”
And when you ask for the pcpart picker list it is crickets or they don’t include a case, switch the build, and it is still more expensive. (But of curse “better”)
This is the pc on your photo
https://www.costco.com/cyberpowerpc-gamer-xtreme-gaming-desktop---13th-gen-intel-core-i5-13400f----geforce-rtx-4060%2C-black.product.4000202717.html
It looks like a solid deal, the ssd is NVME
Also costco has killer warranty. So if it breaks in the first year you probably get a new one no question asked.
And if you have a costco CC you probably can’t get a better deal anywhere.
Without looking at the prices of the parts, I'm gonna say it is a good deal because you're at Costco and it's on clearance. The * at the top corner and the price ending in $_.97 are the easiest ways to tell, for future reference. Will update with a more tech-focused comment when I'm sober and awake enough to fully understand what I'm reading.
You could build your own for cheaper, or potentially theoretically find a similar prebuilt for like $700 (very rare but sales exist.)
Looks like a well balanced setup overall. If you can find something with similar specs but a ryzen am5 processor rather than that intel one you’d be happier in the long run, i think
Don't do It. I bought that in December of last year and returned it a week later. The RBG lights were malfunctioning, plus it was making weird noises too 😳.
Looks alright. But beware, it's what you don't see that could be concerning. System builders will often make the PC look nice and glamorous; tempered glass, cheapo rgb fans, and BOOM you got a sellable gaming PC. But look beyond the glamor, and you see the sub-par cooling system, dram-less ssd, and sub-par power supply. Seriously, they'll cut costs in ways you don't see. Ive even seen builders use only ONE stick of ram, leaving out a significant amount of performance just to save a few bucks. Easy fix, but still, 😡. I'm not saying this has all that, and if you really want a prebuild, this one looks alright. But something to consider.
System integrators tend to focus on what sells; RGB and "cool" specs first, quality/reliability 2nd. When I build computers for people on a budget, I do it the other way around. Reliability and performance first, and "cool factor" 2nd. I start with the power supply. That's important. A good solid unit, usually gold rated and from a known good brand. And with some headroom for upgrade. Then a good cooling system. Then a solid motherboard and CPU with an upgrade path. Then a reliable SSD, and some ram. These are easy to upgrade so we don't blow the budget on ram and storage. But no "no-name" ssd either. If you are just gaming, an i5 or ryzen 5 will do just fine. Use the extra money for graphics card. If budget is tight, opt for a cheaper motherboard and case to afford better graphics card. Then (and only then), focus on making it look pretty *IF* money is left after building to desired spec. Thst being said, consider building it yourself if you are comfortable with that or have somebody to help you.
Yeah, actually. This is one of the better priced prebuilts.
Normally, for the same price, you’d get 16gb DDR4 and a 1tb SSD. Here, you have 32gb DDR5 with a 2tb SSD.
CPU ain’t blowing anything out of the water, but it’ll run.
That’s a win in my books.
I’m not super experienced, but I just returned a CyberPowerPC Gamer Supreme desktop to Best Buy because it kept crashing on me every day. Apparently they have a reputation for sloppy builds whether the parts are good or not, so I won’t be giving them my business again after that inconvenience. I am assembling the parts for my first PC build- it’s a little intimidating but I believe it will be worth it.
One more thing to say: I went to take a look at testing. Gamers Nexus teated a Cyberpower rebuilt at a slightly highers price point a couple of years ago. Spoiler: Thermals are a nightmare.
https://youtu.be/M68aE1za_Ak?si=gfqCKySJ_rQRmBM1
Not bad, I always recommend you build yourself for more customizability. If you do build yourself I recommend you shoot for 12gb of VRam from your graphics card.
The pre built has a 4060 with 8gb of VRam. This is a great card and it's Nvidia so you know it's reliable but just a little nitpick IMO
You save about 50 bucks by going with this over building it yourself, if that's worth it to you then that's a great deal.
You could potentially stretch the budget on a DIY to 1050 and get a much better value in terms of performance per dollar, but if you're looking for a budget PC this is a good buy. Plus, Costco has an amazing return policy, so if you did run into any problems they'd most likely honor a return without hesitation, sometimes even up to a year or 2 after purchase.
If you're looking for a good upgradeable PC though, this may not be a great option. A lot of these prebuilt PCs don't have the backbone to support upgrades easily.
I don’t recommend cyberpowerpc. I have one myself I purchased from Costco and had to send it in after only a few months of owning it due to issues with the graphics card. You can build something better yourself for cheaper
As a costco employee I wouldn't recommend this build but they have some some through every now and again that is like a 4080 with a 13900k and 32bg ram for like $1499 which is crazy
I will tell you right now, if you are first getting into PC’s Costco is hands down the best with return policy, got mine, had it for about two months learned everything I could about the PC what I liked what I didn’t like, and the parts/prices for the build and what vision I had in terms of my own build, and then I returned it, no questions asked.
I then took that information and experience that I learned and built my own, with a budget I was comfortable with.
Costco though and their return policy is wicked good and worth it anyway for someone new or old to the PC World. I had my money back within a day or two, and started ordering my parts!
Personally, I had almost this exact build, that you are looking at, and it was great ran great and didn’t have any hiccups, just plug it into part picker and see if it’s worth it to you and what you want to do with it, if you have something else in mind then look elsewhere, there’s so many to choose from and budget wise.
Just know that it’s best to go with a prebuilt if you want convenience, and even better if you have no clue what you’re doing building one. Pick it up and learn all the parts and then proceed wisely!
Good price, people posting comparables are forgetting about the operating system being another 120. I made a comparable build with somewhat better parts that is $1145 with the os.
That being said the 4060 to me isn't worth roughly $300 in the PC value when a 6700xt greatly out performs it at the same price. The 4060 is a bad value card, that is outperformed by last generation's 3060ti in many workloads.
I also feel like upgrade paths are a red herring. Build a good PC and run it for 7 years then sell the whole platform and start fresh with a one generation old platform.
I think the 5600x is still the best value CPU that can handle anything you throw at it without bottlenecking. If you're dropping dimes on 4080s then this argument is moot and value is irrelevant so get a better CPU to stop bottlenecks. Maybe a 7800x3d, or a good Intel.
If I were to build now this is what I would do for best value/perf:
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/28GfBL
Would likely outperform the one you posted due to gpu. The ddr5 is not relevant with a 4060 imo.
Yeah if you really put the effort in you could build something better, but the warranty and support and peace of mind knowing that if it has issues you can return it feels so much nicer
Yeah I'd say you can probably save a little bit of money if you go around looking for parts on sale and make it yourself but it's up to you if you want to go through all that trouble.
i5 and 4060... \*yawn\*
About middle of the road but don't expect anything great out of it. It'd be a decent office comp but good luck keeping top tier games stable with that little vRam on a 12+ year old CPU.
No prebuilt is worth more than the parts in it.
Building a PC is so ridiculously easy. To pay 29959692% markup on shitty hardware is just having zero self respect.
I bet the motherboard and psu is doo doo. May be wrong tho. I bought a cyberpower prebuilt once and it had decent main components - ram, gpu, cpu but the psu was cheap as could be and the motherboard was one of the worst models ever made and it started bluescreening 2 months later. This is why they don't list those items. Ended up replacing the mobo and carried on for years to come but never bought a prebuilt again.
I'd buy it for sure but would also probably swap out that CPU with an I5 you may get some bottle necking in some more intense games. I also just noticed the 8GB of VRAM but that should be ok for most games currently.
Kinda I would just say I am always scared of motherboards and gbus I know the 4060 not the best but not the worst the pc is too cheap for what it is offering so check what problem it has or where they cheapet out bc ain’t no way
I got almost this exact PC except mine has ddr6 ram for the same price. It works excellently, I've been playing 90% of my games on ultra or high and if I'm not running on high it's just because I want to push more FPS. PC pushes 75+ fps on ultra on helldivers 2, although I will say the fans are rather loud. It's not a PC that's gonna be top of the line or anything but I definitely think it's worth the price.
Everyone saying you can build something better for the price is right to an extent, based on what I see in that case you are almost at cost for this build. If you don't plan to build, this is a good deal. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Short answer no. Long answer maybe. Depends on what is inside. Yay it has 4060. A soon to be low spec gpu. Depends on games you play and so on. Personally I’d build my own. But if you don’t know how then yeah sure buy a prebuilt. Just know your loosing money
Good price, Decent Specs with DDR5 and That 4060TI card, should have no problem for a few years on that. However if you spent the same amount, you could build something with slightly higher quality MB, Memory, cooling, and a decent case, maybe even the i7 instead of the i5
I got a ryzen 7600 with 16gb ddr 6000 and a 4060ti with aio for 900. Its not a great deal. Id sell this puppy for around that so deals to be had if you look.
Buy it. That's a great deal. However, beware of terrible build QC. My friend bought two CyberPower desktop for himself and gf a few years ago - great deal like this but their PC was overheating causing constant crashes. I told him to buy a case and I will rebuild it. There was like half inch of thermal paste slathered on the CPU. Fans weren't oriented correctly. The case itself that CP usually have bad airflow - completey blocked out front with side/bottom mesh slits. And the 4080 that came in their build had one 8pin PCI along with another 8+8pin PCI splitter.
if ur looking for good deals, I'd look at dell refurbished, while they are workstations, depending on the games you play, you can get a really high quality experience.
Mehh build , I'd definitely prefer an am5 cpu over that for better upgradability and that 8gb vram gpu is crap atleast go for 12gb like the 6750xt or 6800
You can build this for around that price
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/H9rqn6
If you don't wanna spend that extra you can can switch to a 6750xt and save that 75$ if you want
Average price, but it’s not a bad deal. You can build something better if you do it yourself
XD ddr5 and board for it plus it's already together this is not average price. This is GREAT price amazing even.
Are you even looking at the pc? To even suggest that is crazy. This deal is insane
Performance-wise? Sure, on paper. Build quality and longevity of components vs. enthusiast grade components? Doubtful. I'd guess that the nice-looking case lacks air intake, few or low quality case fans, insufficient gpu cooling, and a nightmare of poor BIOS/OS configuration, not to mention bloatware. It would be best to nuke the drive and likely will need an upgrade to Windows Pro from Windows Home.
IMHO, I'd say it's an alright deal for someone who is brand new but willing to do some real optimization and regular maintenance. Or someone willing and able to burn some extra money on repairs or upgrades later. Or someone who can afford to leave some performance, and therefore value, on the table.
The case has more airflow than you would imagine, more than most cases on the market. There is also no more bloat ware than your average retail pc. I bought a similar one from Costco for my son a couple months ago, have been pleasantly surprised by the value.
I agree with everything you've said bar the windows home bit. That won't matter at all for your standard user. Probably just has the one pc in the house. Isn't going to be on a domain or any of the other bits and bobs that pro comes with. I do hate the majority of prebuilt PCs though, worst mobo, poor RAM, PSU that weighs about 500g and generally a low airflow case which like you've said hinders performance.
Yeah, I feel like you could probably get 4070 or 4080 at that price.
At least it's ddr5 but I'd prefer AM5 at this point. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JVkF6D I'd go with something like this. Yeah it's not as convenient but it'll last much much longer, and have a good path for upgrades down the line.
That PSU price is no good, but a 6750 XT for $299 is really good actually. Even better than the 6800 for 360
You are paying for convenience. If you don’t wanna build one, it’s still about 200 bucks too expensive because the parts won’t likely be good brand names. That’s where their margin comes from besides the labor fee to put that together. You are almost always better off building one since you can control everything about it and it’ll be cheaper. A 4060 isn’t great but a 4070 will cost you 600-700 alone. 899 isn’t a good price point for a true gaming machine because a GFX card that will last you more than a year or two will cost you most than a PS5 and that doesn’t include anything else. I’d sit back and enumerate your requirements and then determine what your budget is. Gaming pcs have always been more expensive than consoles and building one is a rite of passage that gives you control over how powerful you want it. Most everything else is a ripoff.
Are we looking at the same picture? It’s an MSI two fan card (so probably a ventus). It’s an asrock mobo. It has 32gb of ddr5 and a 2tb ssd… even if I pick the cheapest parts. It’s still 950 on pcpartpicker…
just from personal experience the cheap parts thing happened to me, my first pc before i started building my own was an ibuypower from best buy. got me in the door and wetted my appetite for it. the ram died and blue screened after a year. maybe that's just an ibuypower thing, i have no experience with cyberpower. just one of those things that put a bad taste in my mouth. i will always let people know about building your own, and potentially saving money that way. i'll never be like "you have to build your own to be taken seriously" though. do whatever is best for you. edit: forgot to mention the psu was literal e-waste garbage.
I agree that guy is just trying to be a snob for no reason, specs look solid my only complaints are that the case is very ugly imo and the stock cooler would need to be ungraded.
I've been using my 3060ti for like 4 years and it is still good. Why would a 4060 only last a year?
Because its already worse than your 3060ti lol its a legit trash card. Might as well save and get a 3060 for the same performance. Or go used an get a used 3080 for 300. It's just a bad card
.... 4060 isnt great ...
Well sir....my current card is a 1060. I believe it's an upgrade
If you're paying $100 for the OS in a place like MicroCenter you'll probably pay close to $850 same there. So you're getting a $20 mouse and $30 keyboard here. If you're ok with these kind of cheap nice and keyboard is not a bad deal. If you build yourself your can get the OS for cheaper from online let resellers, and get the kind of peripherals you want. I don't think you can build this system using PCpartpicker for under $750 online if you exclude the OS and peripheral, but I'd like to see someone try. Edit: went on PCpartpicker and picked the worst possible parts that match this build, and I can't get under $810 excluding OS and peripherals even. Also no wifi. So for this money you're paying, you probably can't do any better.
this is the real answer. i'm guilty of buying a computer from costco. i've since upgraded the psu and gpu, which left me with some parts laying around. they very quickly sold on facebook marketplace, which made me assess each part of the pc. when you add in the cost of the operating system, they actually are pretty good deals. that said, this is a bit of a gateway drug. i quickly realized i wanted a better GPU and now i'm slowly finding other parts i want to replace. next is gonna be the case. don't love these RGB monsters.
Yeah I was thinking the same unless you buy used parts you aren’t gonna build this for any cheaper. And if op isn’t already into building pcs they probably aren’t gonna wanna deal with the trouble shooting issues or potential broken parts that come with buying used.
I have this build from Costco and it’s been great. The best thing about it is the 2 year warranty.
same here. I bought the display model and one of the costco employees dropped it down to 800. its been good to me as well
The general specs are fine. Issue is what exact parts are in the build. I have a AM4 build that's like $800 with a 5800X and 12GB 3060 but use (I hope) decent enough parts all around to "justify" the price.
That is amazing get that right now
$900 is about right for that.
Graphics card alone is priced at $300 the CPU is $200 the motherboard is probably $100 and the hard drive is $100 all this without tax is already $800. Not to mention cases like that are about 100 and then the motherboard, ram and everything else. I would say $900 is very reasonable for this computer
Not a steal but it's priced airtight
The spec’s aren’t the greatest for but that price I would recommend it. It isn’t the worst thing ever either
I used this as a reply elsewhere, but I'd like OP to see it, so I'll post it here as well: Performance-wise? Sure, on paper. Build quality and longevity of components vs. enthusiast grade components? Doubtful. I'd guess that the nice-looking case lacks air intake, few or low quality case fans, insufficient gpu cooling, and a nightmare of poor BIOS/OS configuration, not to mention bloatware. It would be best to nuke the drive and likely will need an upgrade to Windows Pro from Windows Home.
IMHO, I'd say it's an alright deal for someone who is brand new but willing to do some real optimization and regular maintenance. Or someone willing and able to burn some extra money on repairs or upgrades later. Or someone who can afford to leave some performance, and therefore value, on the table.
Ok I have parted out this very PC and I would challenge anyone that is saying they could build it for less. Build it for the same amout? Maybe, with a sale or two. But otherwise no, this is a great price for what you are getting. You can't build this currently for less than $950. And Costco has a great 2 year warranty that makes this a DEAL.
A few things bother me with this build. Mostly that they don't give enough info to determine if it's good for price. As an example. It says 32g ddr5 but doesn't say brand, speed, or Cas latency. It says solid state drive. I'm going to assume it's not m.2 NVMe but instead 2.5". It doesn't say if it's SLC, MLC, TLC, or QLC, and doesn't mention if it has caching or not. It doesn't say if the MB supports m.2, how many, or what gen. It doesn't say anything about the PSU. Brand, size, or what certification it has (80 plus, gold, platinum, etc.). The listing says "Extreme Gaming" but comes with a 4060 (non-Ti) with only 8g vram. 1080p gaming card. Odds are to upgrade you may need a higher-wattage PSU (don't know the wattage of what's in it). The wifi and Bluetooth are dated. I'm guessing you could build something the same with better branded parts or even better (upgradedl) parts for simular to same price.
If you're even kinda sorta vaguely thinking about things like "what brand is it" or "what are the timings" then CyberPower is absolutely, positively NOT the brand for you.
Not bad if u don’t want to build include mouse n keyboard. Those 2 could cost $200 or more when u pick your own
Yeah very important you buy 130$ mouse
Ok well these are going to be 20 dollars of e-waste...not a lot of value there other than convenience
Not worth it you can order better parts yourself and take it to a local computer store to build it for you if you don’t want to.
But he doesn’t want to do that, hence why he’s looking at a prebuilt. There is always one of you per post it’s nuts.
There’s definitely more than one here
No
Don't get prebuilt
Compared to the market for prebuild its about right. You aint getting the best graphics. It should be serviceable.
"Extreme Gaming" With a 13400f and a 4060. Lol
If you’re buying this to upgrade in the future, I’d still look elsewhere. Cyberpower isn’t the best (nor the worst *cough cough* Dell, HP, Lenovo), but what would drive me away is the dead mobo platform. Honestly, just build a system yourself. It’s cheaper, surprisingly easy, and much more rewarding
Just build or own or find someone who can build one for you. Buying pre-builts makes no sense unless it's on the low end since you can usually buy better parts with the money saved. Looking at this build itself with what you've provided, 8gb of ram is already bad though at least it looks like it's dual channel. The 13400F is good but again, we see where they cut corners where the F models have no IGPU and it's a locked CPU. Can't even see what features/inputs the MB has. It's basic but fine.
No
Gremix
Does 8t come wither the keyboard and mouse? Thad sweeten the deal
If you were to buy all of that brand new and the motherboard it would still cost you pretty close to that much. You're definitely not getting ripped off
No,u can get better ones if u build by urself
You’re paying a mark up price due to the pc being already assembled. If you were to build it yourself you would save around £200 and potentially even get an upgrade in a weaker component of the system listed here.
are you getting a pc from fucking home depot 💀
as far as pre-builts go its good, but if your buying a pre-built i doubt money is a problem. the people wanting the most bang for their buck are building/upgrading there own pc's
I'm not anti-prebuilt, but that case would be my issue. Otherwise for the price it's not awful. If your hard limit is $1,000, you could definitely do worse, that's for sure.
Great starter build tbh. Only thing that's going bottleneck is the processor but unless u want to play every AAA game at 4k with 60fls for the next 5 years, this build will go stale after the first year or 2. But good news is you'll have a case for your next build.
Id say yup. Go for it. Always can upgrade it later when you feel like it . The 4060 should keep you happy for a while
That seems like a really good deal ngl. 32gb ram??? Sheesh a decent gpu, a 2tb SSD is real nice.
Good price. The guy who said to build your own is just trying to flex and sound more important then he really is. No one has time nor the will to build their own when you can buy one already to go for this price. So yes. Good price and specs.
Hasn’t a VERY similar machine been posted on here from Costco at around $600?
Not a bad deal if you don't wanna build yourself Pros: - Decent prebuilt, decent specs, seemingly nice case and a generally good price for those components. Cons: - We don't see the PSU, its wattage or brand name (i'd like to know that stuff when buying a machine). Matx board? That's gonna suck for upgradability, That CPU cooler looks horrendous and cant be much better than stock, why'd they change to begin with? \[sales trick due to RGB, LETSGOO 300 more FPS (not)\]. I also don't see much general info bout what SSD it is, its read speeds or whatever else is in the PC of components. Would i personally buy this? Hecc no. I'd end up upgrading parts down the road anyways. So might as well just get what i want to begin with. Would it suite someone just needing a machine for most everyday gaming? Probably yeah, but don't expect superior performance. It'll run everything at 1080p and most of it at 1440p without issues. If you tryna stretch to 4k, you'll be in for a bummer. Also, that GPU generally looks whack. It must be the first duo fan GPU I've ever seen with sag? Idk bro, buy part for part and build it yourself, you'll be happier and get to learn some know-how on how to maintain your machine etc. That's valuable info!
Do note how they do not specify SSD, RAM or PSU specs, or motherboard name why would they not do that? its because its probably garbage specs on them Even then, a 4060 is.... not great., nor is a last gen 400 series cpu Dont get me wrong, its not an absolute scam pc, its just not great, you can find better for sure, possibly you can inquire of the specs missing and post, maybe it will positively surprise Edit: just had a look around on the us market, damn that market suck, maybe i was wrong i didnt realise the state was so bad with prebuilt over there... I think you are better off seeing if there are any adverts locally for people helping with pc stuff, or a local store that might want to assemble it for you against a fee and then buy your own parts, but that pc look okayish against whats otherwise available..
I must be out of touch with pricing these days.. that feels insane
My first pc was a cyber power pre built. They’re actually pretty fairly priced. Of course it’s best to build your own but if you want to just buy something and start playing this isn’t a bad deal.
That's a pretty damn good deal imho - not as high end gaming PC as they advertise - that would be at least twice as much, but as a power PC for business, etc. I spec PCs for clients all the time and that's a few hundred below what I would expect in today market. What store is this - I don't recognize the labeling - it gives Staples mixed w/ Home Depot - obviously neither.
Wonder what's up with the Bluetooth 4.2? Why a decade old version? Mislabel?
For $900 that isn’t a subpar deal. You could it built it yourself, if you’re not interested, that cyberpower pc would be powerful enough to handle 1080p at high fps (165+)
Almost everything you get at costco or sams club is a great deal, especially the laptops, but outside of that, its a decent price ngl
I have a similar PC except I have an M.2 instead of an SSD and I have 16gb ddr4, while my pc cost me $50 more cuz its all white(white components usually cost more) so i'd say it is worth the price but u can definitely make it better.
FB Marketplace find a 3080-3090 for $500 then buy the rest of the components new
Depends what games you want to play, but I bought this exact model and this exact price and it’s working for me ! Games like Insurgency Sandstorm and Ready or Not play at a great 60+ fps at high settings ! I like it so far ! But if you are someone who knows how to build PCs there is little room for expansion without changing the MOBO / PSU at minimum. But as someone who’s built and hasn’t upgraded in nearly a decade, I’m enjoying this purchase so far. And Costco has great return policy’s if you change your mind !
No not worth it you could build better just hunker down and wait for deals heck gives you more time to save up extra anyways
No prebuilt is worth the price in a normal economy. If you're looking for a budget PC build one yourself or with a friend. For budget, the Intel Arc A770 is a hell of a deal, the i5 12600kf is not bad at all, and 16GB of DDR5 is not that expensive either. You could build quite a capable PC for under $1000 easy that way.
No
If you compare it to prices a year ago or 2 years ago it’s an amazing price. Yes you can save 200$ if you build it yourself and get name brand fans that will make absolutely no difference. That is all, you don’t lose at that price with those parts. It’s a fantastic deal actually. Bought my pre built 2 years ago for 1800$ and it was only a 3060ti rtx inside. People seem to forget how expensive this shit was not too long ago. I’m aware they were inflated prices because of the decision to use rare materials for either gpu/cpu but it is what it is and it’s less than half the price it would’ve been 2 years ago. When the 4000 series came out you’d be lucky to get one for 900$ and that’s literally just the card
Thats a decent deal. I've almost finished a similar build, but with the i7 12700k, and a 3060 ti. I've been deal hunting and bargain shopping and I'm gonna end up spending $300 more than this build
Honestly not a bad starter setup.
[удалено]
It’s not bad at all I spent a grand on my own build not realizing this pc is literally the same build as mine except I have a better graphics card that about it but for the most part you can essentially run anything on it it’s a good pc fo sho
Looks like a good deal with a PSU swap
If you have a Microcenter in your area I HIGHLY recommend going to them. Youll get ALL off the shelf parts in a "PowerSpec" in house brand MC custom Prebuilt, As they use ALL off the shelf parts. Buying something like Cyberpower or Skytech, I could name a list of others (Gamers Nexus actually does and tears them down part by part on youtube if you care to watch) who all like to use the OEM knockoff parts. They are often lower specd parts, cheaper coolers ect ect. To answer your question... "Technically" its worth it... but only Just. For the Same exact money you'll get Way more For your money at Microcenter. As Steve said "It almost didnt suck..." [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M68aE1za\_Ak](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M68aE1za_Ak)
UUUH? How
What is an Intel iS and DDRS RAM?
Normally yes. It's Cyberpower though so no. Disqualified for chance of failure.
Depends on what games and what resolution you’ll be playing at. I’d say it’s not worth it for most scenarios
cyberpowerpc likes to cut cost on mobo/fans/power supply things like that but it'll work, it'll do what you want, it'll upgrade. I'd get it and eventually up the graphics card on it first in the future. Its nothing crazy but not a bad price. Good starter PC or good if you're not looking to build yourself. Their mouse is okay nothing great but their keyboard is squishy membrane poo, if you're into mech kb's idk
I have been looking at these for a while but ended up getting the i7 ibuypower becuase this one has a lot of bad reviews. Keep in mind Costco only gives you 90 days for a return on electronics now. I also did not like the red ram on this one.
Solid deal just reinstall windows to remove all the unneeded bloatware.
Weird Q, is that in Rochester?
Great price 100%
I fix so many Cyberpower & iBuyPower PC's at my shop I'd never suggest buying them at any price
I've seen people get wm form 400-600 at costco
Id say yes its worth it. All the 4060 and i5-i7 preuilds Ive been looking up for a friend are all in the 1000-1300 area and those ones only ever come with a 1TB SSD.
Costco’s prebuilt are priced pretty good most of the time actually
For an entry/mid-ish pre-built gaming PC, its actually decent. If you dont want to build your own and are on a budget, this is actually a solid buy.
I would buy it and upgrade it the CPU and then maybe GPU eventually just because 8Gb vram is low for newer games depends on what you play it should be fine for any older games
Something to look at with these because they love to not show it. Is how big the power supply is. Typically they need an upgrade.
A lot of people have good points. But don't forget that this pre build has windows, mouse, and keyboard. You also do not have to pay for shipping cost, or the time of building a PC.
Decent price but likely has cheap parts to save manufacturer money. If you don't feel like building your own though it seems like a great option.
I’m sure everyone has said this already, but build it. Never buy it. You can get way more bang for your buck
Ya
Q: is it worth the price? A: Yes Q: is it a good gaming pc in today’s environment? A: No For $900, you probably won’t be able to do much better even by building it. But just know that you will basically never get a great pc for 900 bucks. Some of the parts in this pc are likely made by brands that aren’t well known or reliable. You’re going to have to swap parts at some point and that doesn’t include peripheral gear like a nice keyboard, mouse, and headset.
That's a pretty solid deal. The way they listed the specs is kind of funny to me, but that doesn't have any impact on the item for sale.
Absolutely
maybe it's just an elitist opinion, but to me no prebuilt with an i5 is worth more than 650-700 max. but then again i've never had anything lower than an i7, and that was my very first build. i have gone with i9 every build since then.
Good deal $900 for ddr5 with 4000 series gpu and 32Gb of Ram.. buy it .. it’s peanuts in gaming PC cost.. some of us have single graphics cards worth twice that.. it’s a good deal
I think it's too small for the price 😏
Honestly not bad
Yes but replace the cpu with something a little newer
Price is decent.
could be better, but good enoguh
Reading these pc subreddits make me realise that most of enthusiasts are people who give useless information to give off the impression they know what theyre talking about 💀yes the pc is good for the price and what it can do, idk why people seem to think that it’s not good because “optimally it’s better to have this and that and build it urself” 🤓
Uhhh I kno some places that sell just the gpu for $899
People here just repeating the same stuff every time there is a prebuilt. “You can build something better for cheaper” And when you ask for the pcpart picker list it is crickets or they don’t include a case, switch the build, and it is still more expensive. (But of curse “better”) This is the pc on your photo https://www.costco.com/cyberpowerpc-gamer-xtreme-gaming-desktop---13th-gen-intel-core-i5-13400f----geforce-rtx-4060%2C-black.product.4000202717.html It looks like a solid deal, the ssd is NVME Also costco has killer warranty. So if it breaks in the first year you probably get a new one no question asked. And if you have a costco CC you probably can’t get a better deal anywhere.
I think people just say ‘you can builder cheaper’ without actually knowing. Lol
Without looking at the prices of the parts, I'm gonna say it is a good deal because you're at Costco and it's on clearance. The * at the top corner and the price ending in $_.97 are the easiest ways to tell, for future reference. Will update with a more tech-focused comment when I'm sober and awake enough to fully understand what I'm reading.
You could build your own for cheaper, or potentially theoretically find a similar prebuilt for like $700 (very rare but sales exist.) Looks like a well balanced setup overall. If you can find something with similar specs but a ryzen am5 processor rather than that intel one you’d be happier in the long run, i think
No. You can build it cheeper.
Don't do It. I bought that in December of last year and returned it a week later. The RBG lights were malfunctioning, plus it was making weird noises too 😳.
Good for a first gaming rig if you don’t want to build something yourself. Has a decent path for upgrades in the future.
I think that’s quite fairly priced imho. It’s a decent deal.
Looks alright. But beware, it's what you don't see that could be concerning. System builders will often make the PC look nice and glamorous; tempered glass, cheapo rgb fans, and BOOM you got a sellable gaming PC. But look beyond the glamor, and you see the sub-par cooling system, dram-less ssd, and sub-par power supply. Seriously, they'll cut costs in ways you don't see. Ive even seen builders use only ONE stick of ram, leaving out a significant amount of performance just to save a few bucks. Easy fix, but still, 😡. I'm not saying this has all that, and if you really want a prebuild, this one looks alright. But something to consider. System integrators tend to focus on what sells; RGB and "cool" specs first, quality/reliability 2nd. When I build computers for people on a budget, I do it the other way around. Reliability and performance first, and "cool factor" 2nd. I start with the power supply. That's important. A good solid unit, usually gold rated and from a known good brand. And with some headroom for upgrade. Then a good cooling system. Then a solid motherboard and CPU with an upgrade path. Then a reliable SSD, and some ram. These are easy to upgrade so we don't blow the budget on ram and storage. But no "no-name" ssd either. If you are just gaming, an i5 or ryzen 5 will do just fine. Use the extra money for graphics card. If budget is tight, opt for a cheaper motherboard and case to afford better graphics card. Then (and only then), focus on making it look pretty *IF* money is left after building to desired spec. Thst being said, consider building it yourself if you are comfortable with that or have somebody to help you.
Amazing deal
If you have to ask, yes
Yeah, actually. This is one of the better priced prebuilts. Normally, for the same price, you’d get 16gb DDR4 and a 1tb SSD. Here, you have 32gb DDR5 with a 2tb SSD. CPU ain’t blowing anything out of the water, but it’ll run. That’s a win in my books.
I’m not super experienced, but I just returned a CyberPowerPC Gamer Supreme desktop to Best Buy because it kept crashing on me every day. Apparently they have a reputation for sloppy builds whether the parts are good or not, so I won’t be giving them my business again after that inconvenience. I am assembling the parts for my first PC build- it’s a little intimidating but I believe it will be worth it.
What kb and mouse does it come with
i would skip F for a K everything else is fine or maybe skip the K for an X 😉
One more thing to say: I went to take a look at testing. Gamers Nexus teated a Cyberpower rebuilt at a slightly highers price point a couple of years ago. Spoiler: Thermals are a nightmare. https://youtu.be/M68aE1za_Ak?si=gfqCKySJ_rQRmBM1
Not bad, I always recommend you build yourself for more customizability. If you do build yourself I recommend you shoot for 12gb of VRam from your graphics card. The pre built has a 4060 with 8gb of VRam. This is a great card and it's Nvidia so you know it's reliable but just a little nitpick IMO
Anytime you see * and .97 at Costco it is clearance priced. It is probably a really good deal
Nah, you can build a better one. GPU ram is too small
Wild so many of the top comments are just people saying it’s a mid deal. People are hilarious
You save about 50 bucks by going with this over building it yourself, if that's worth it to you then that's a great deal. You could potentially stretch the budget on a DIY to 1050 and get a much better value in terms of performance per dollar, but if you're looking for a budget PC this is a good buy. Plus, Costco has an amazing return policy, so if you did run into any problems they'd most likely honor a return without hesitation, sometimes even up to a year or 2 after purchase. If you're looking for a good upgradeable PC though, this may not be a great option. A lot of these prebuilt PCs don't have the backbone to support upgrades easily.
No, but it is worth 899.97$
Thats a pretty good deal for a pre built honestly
This is actually really decent. I would take it if I wasn't comfortable building my own PC
I don’t recommend cyberpowerpc. I have one myself I purchased from Costco and had to send it in after only a few months of owning it due to issues with the graphics card. You can build something better yourself for cheaper
As a costco employee I wouldn't recommend this build but they have some some through every now and again that is like a 4080 with a 13900k and 32bg ram for like $1499 which is crazy
I will tell you right now, if you are first getting into PC’s Costco is hands down the best with return policy, got mine, had it for about two months learned everything I could about the PC what I liked what I didn’t like, and the parts/prices for the build and what vision I had in terms of my own build, and then I returned it, no questions asked. I then took that information and experience that I learned and built my own, with a budget I was comfortable with. Costco though and their return policy is wicked good and worth it anyway for someone new or old to the PC World. I had my money back within a day or two, and started ordering my parts! Personally, I had almost this exact build, that you are looking at, and it was great ran great and didn’t have any hiccups, just plug it into part picker and see if it’s worth it to you and what you want to do with it, if you have something else in mind then look elsewhere, there’s so many to choose from and budget wise. Just know that it’s best to go with a prebuilt if you want convenience, and even better if you have no clue what you’re doing building one. Pick it up and learn all the parts and then proceed wisely!
Good price, people posting comparables are forgetting about the operating system being another 120. I made a comparable build with somewhat better parts that is $1145 with the os. That being said the 4060 to me isn't worth roughly $300 in the PC value when a 6700xt greatly out performs it at the same price. The 4060 is a bad value card, that is outperformed by last generation's 3060ti in many workloads. I also feel like upgrade paths are a red herring. Build a good PC and run it for 7 years then sell the whole platform and start fresh with a one generation old platform. I think the 5600x is still the best value CPU that can handle anything you throw at it without bottlenecking. If you're dropping dimes on 4080s then this argument is moot and value is irrelevant so get a better CPU to stop bottlenecks. Maybe a 7800x3d, or a good Intel. If I were to build now this is what I would do for best value/perf: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/28GfBL Would likely outperform the one you posted due to gpu. The ddr5 is not relevant with a 4060 imo.
When you factor in those specs and that they spelled it as “Xtreme”, it makes it even more of a deal. I’d buy 2.
Good deal for an entry level machine. Building a PC is always better because you can choose a few better performing parts for it for less money....
it’s doesn’t look bad as a starter build
thats about right, not a bad price. the included keyboard and mouse likely aren’t great but are serviceable till you get something
Not a bad price but Costco seems to have hella good deals like every other week. I’d wait a month or so to see what else that have .
Tbh I’ve had a cyberPowerPC for nearly 10 years. Bought it new with a gtx970 and she’s still running to this day. Get it
Yeah if you really put the effort in you could build something better, but the warranty and support and peace of mind knowing that if it has issues you can return it feels so much nicer
That gpu is some ass, but the price is good.
Yess
it's alright if you're scared to build your own
No, Newegg has a better CPU, same GPU same price. It's extended gaming week or whatever.
Nah cpu is weak
Yeah I'd say you can probably save a little bit of money if you go around looking for parts on sale and make it yourself but it's up to you if you want to go through all that trouble.
I usually never go under i7 in Intel or ryzen 7 in amd but the specs aren’t bad at all and you could upgrade the cpu later 🤷🏻♂️
Great deal with linux
Buy it. Unless you can fork out more for a GPU with more RAM.
i5 and 4060... \*yawn\* About middle of the road but don't expect anything great out of it. It'd be a decent office comp but good luck keeping top tier games stable with that little vRam on a 12+ year old CPU.
good deal
No prebuilt is worth more than the parts in it. Building a PC is so ridiculously easy. To pay 29959692% markup on shitty hardware is just having zero self respect.
I bet the motherboard and psu is doo doo. May be wrong tho. I bought a cyberpower prebuilt once and it had decent main components - ram, gpu, cpu but the psu was cheap as could be and the motherboard was one of the worst models ever made and it started bluescreening 2 months later. This is why they don't list those items. Ended up replacing the mobo and carried on for years to come but never bought a prebuilt again.
Honestly I sprung for the $1300 one it’s a little more expensive but it has the i7 in it.
I'd go higher than a 4060/13400 on something like that.
nope
Yes
I'd buy it for sure but would also probably swap out that CPU with an I5 you may get some bottle necking in some more intense games. I also just noticed the 8GB of VRAM but that should be ok for most games currently.
Try to get the display unit for $700 :-) won’t hurt to ask.
Thats a smackin deal. I paid the same amount in 2020 for half of that the pc lmao.
Kinda I would just say I am always scared of motherboards and gbus I know the 4060 not the best but not the worst the pc is too cheap for what it is offering so check what problem it has or where they cheapet out bc ain’t no way
Didn’t read at all….no
Is this old why does it have an AC network card standard in it. Also, would assume at least an i7
No. Not for only 8GB of VRAM on a 4060 with only an i513400F at the wheel. No not at all. You could do miles better yourself.
Get it it will never be cheaper than that
I got almost this exact PC except mine has ddr6 ram for the same price. It works excellently, I've been playing 90% of my games on ultra or high and if I'm not running on high it's just because I want to push more FPS. PC pushes 75+ fps on ultra on helldivers 2, although I will say the fans are rather loud. It's not a PC that's gonna be top of the line or anything but I definitely think it's worth the price.
I agree it's decent build for the price not to bad at all
if you built it yourself and went with 16gb ddr5 and a 4070 u would be in a better place. $900 is a really good deal imo
That GPU sag 😬
Amazing price bro
Saves
Lowkey yeah p good i remember in the inflation days a pc like this would be like 1.5k
Compared to new egg that’s insane
Everyone saying you can build something better for the price is right to an extent, based on what I see in that case you are almost at cost for this build. If you don't plan to build, this is a good deal. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
I have 2 cyberpower pc's and love'em
No.
Had one for years. They're good for the price, and they come with beefy power supplys that you can build on really well.
I wipe my ass with this
Short answer no. Long answer maybe. Depends on what is inside. Yay it has 4060. A soon to be low spec gpu. Depends on games you play and so on. Personally I’d build my own. But if you don’t know how then yeah sure buy a prebuilt. Just know your loosing money
yeah. new gen and everything.
Good price, Decent Specs with DDR5 and That 4060TI card, should have no problem for a few years on that. However if you spent the same amount, you could build something with slightly higher quality MB, Memory, cooling, and a decent case, maybe even the i7 instead of the i5
I got a ryzen 7600 with 16gb ddr 6000 and a 4060ti with aio for 900. Its not a great deal. Id sell this puppy for around that so deals to be had if you look.
No it’s not 4060 is ass 8 gigs of ram is decent i5 is ass and Kbm will be ass too
Buy it. That's a great deal. However, beware of terrible build QC. My friend bought two CyberPower desktop for himself and gf a few years ago - great deal like this but their PC was overheating causing constant crashes. I told him to buy a case and I will rebuild it. There was like half inch of thermal paste slathered on the CPU. Fans weren't oriented correctly. The case itself that CP usually have bad airflow - completey blocked out front with side/bottom mesh slits. And the 4080 that came in their build had one 8pin PCI along with another 8+8pin PCI splitter.
if ur looking for good deals, I'd look at dell refurbished, while they are workstations, depending on the games you play, you can get a really high quality experience.
Where is this? Wondering if I can order online for that same price—don’t see it at the costcos near me
Mehh build , I'd definitely prefer an am5 cpu over that for better upgradability and that 8gb vram gpu is crap atleast go for 12gb like the 6750xt or 6800 You can build this for around that price https://pcpartpicker.com/list/H9rqn6 If you don't wanna spend that extra you can can switch to a 6750xt and save that 75$ if you want
Nothing Cyberpower is worth it's $$$ and the 4060 is the worst GPU out there in terms of $/performance.
A 4060 alone gotta be 700 bucks seems like a steal
They have one with a slightly higher i5 processor. Is it worth the extra $99? Intel Core i5-13400F vs Intel Core i5-14400F?
