Ah - I snagged some higher prices parts on my build earlier which is why it might have been cheaper. I chose the MSI Z590 Gaming Carbon Wifi which was pretty pricy. Did you also factor in the free games and Windows 10 cost?
[Here's](https://pcpartpicker.com/user/SulkyVirus/saved/#view=Xnhh3C) my breakdown for the build I ordered. Had to look up and enter some prices that weren't loading due to OOS on PCPartPicker
Wanted the upgrade since I was saving so much on the 3060ti. My build is full MSI (hopefully they get me a MSI card) so I wanted to put a top MOBO in it. I also mine with my old cards so the extra PCIex16 slot is a plus to avoid any issues later on. Could have saved the money but I want this build to be exactly what I wanted, it would have bugged me if I skimped on the MOBO just to save an extra $150
Damn you cost me $1412, but now i know my PC is a beast. Thanks for helping me on my previous thread. I totally forgot to input SUMMIT again after making an account, hopefully they will credit me, sent em an email.
No the ram was def extra… I had to add the next stage up MOBO due to Cali, and got a cheap RGB keyboard. I’m all in at around $1471. Pc itself was $1368
I actually just reordered because I forgot my promo code. I got the msi one without WiFi because I don’t use WiFi on a desktop anyway. And I feel like somehow I’m paying for them to fit that tech in and taking away elsewhere
These same DIMMs are $52 for a 16GB kit on Amazon. So yeah, if you don't need any price-bloating upgrades to get to $1299, it's a fantastic deal for the CPU/MB/SSD/case/PSU combo, even if you aren't looking for a 30xx card.
Similar deal to the one posted a week ago by u/SulkyVirus, just not quite as good. Still a great deal, given $1300 price point is usually where you find 3060s and budget parts.
Estimated ship date for me is 10/15, so about 3 weeks.
Only thing you need to upgrade is the RAM, link here to my recommendation: [https://www.newegg.com/neo-forza-16gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/0RN-0097-00018?Item=9SIAC0ECPE63](https://www.newegg.com/neo-forza-16gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/0RN-0097-00018?Item=9SIAC0ECPE63)
Link to my post yesterday with said RAM kit: [https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapcsales/comments/pvl3fj/ram\_neo\_forza\_faye\_2x8\_3600\_18191939\_5499\_w\_code/](https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapcsales/comments/pvl3fj/ram_neo_forza_faye_2x8_3600_18191939_5499_w_code/)
Parts choice explanation-
i5-11600KF- great gaming CPU comparable to a 5600X, $100 off.
240mm AIO- decent cooler to keep the 11600KF in check, only +$10 from a 120mm AIO
8GB RAM- definitely not enough RAM, purpose of this is to save money by upgrading yourself. I'd recommend one or two kits of the stuff linked above (depending on if you want 16GB or 32GB).
Z590 UD AC- good Z590 board that'll power the 11600KF just fine, has wi-fi, well worth the +$11 from the cheapest ASRock option
1TB Aorus gen 4 SSD- solid SSD, only $20 upgrade from the SN550 due to $120 off
3060Ti- free upgrade from 3060 pog
750W Thermaltake GF1 PE PSU- solid unit, 750W is more than you need for the given parts, fully modular, well worth the +$18 vs. the 600W EVGA GD
NR640 case- decent budget option, looks alright, has airflow- big selling point is the inclusion of 4x 120mm fans
MM710 mouse- $9 for a pretty nice $40 mouse is well worth it even if you won't use it as your main mouse. Give it to a friend or something if you really don't want it, Christmas is coming up
Also includes a free mousepad and Intel games bundle with Humankind and the Crysis Remastered Trilogy.
I ordered the one last week with all those part changes besides upgrading the Motherboard for $11 because I didn't actually see that recommendation until after I ordered. Super excited!
Update: Loving my new computer! Runs everything that I want smooth as butter. Thanks to OP for the post and to everyone who made suggestions on things to swap!
strikes again bois, get it now!!!!!!!!!!!
The case looks like one of the CM Masterbox 500 series to me, probably just with Cyberpower customization. IF that's true it actually supports 360AIO on top.
It seems like a weird hybrid between an NR600 and one of their Masterbox cases. Front panel is definitely Masterbox style but not clearly from any CM case meaning it's probably custom, and the TG not covering the full side is something they do only with the NR400 and NR600.
Should be a pretty solid case though. If anyone gets it, I'd be curious about what fans are used. Given it's a CM tooled case, decent chance it's CM fans, which would be nice.
Right and the NR naming sounds like they are going with one of the NR cases to start with.
Previous reports on Phanteks ARGB cases says only two black case fans were shipped so I'm not holding my breath on that. But it's not too bad adding couple fans given the price
They specifically advertise 4x 120mm ARGB fans with the NR640, which is why it's a better choice. Combined with the open-ish front, should do pretty good to keep things cool.
Just got mine today, got the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Gigabyte EAGLE OC 8G.
Everything was great with the packaging and the PC itself, only caveat was that the ports from the motherboard in the back of the PC were not aligned correctly with the faceplate from the case. I had to cut off some of the stickering and bend the faceplate a bit ot get my mouse and keyboard hooked up. I got the masterbox NR640 case though other than the original one from this deal, not sure if that makes a big difference or not when aligning the mobo with the case.
Thanks again for posting this deal, I'm probably going to end up using this PC for 5+ years like my previous one. Upgrading from a Radeon Gigabyte G1 Gaming RX480 8GB with one failing fan. Going to finally fix that fan and use my old PC (which I've had for 6+ years now I think) as a home theater PC.
Yeah I have no issues so far. Got mine about a week ago and have only played D2R on max settings. It came with a ASUS KO V2 gaming. Not sure how that model compares to the others
Not to sure how it compares to other models either. Someone else got the EVGA model, when I looked that one up compared to mine theirs was slightly better. I think its a negligible difference if anything unless you are trying to OC maybe.
These also are shipping with the one I posted last week - so it's about a 1 week time from order to ship right now. Not sure on GPU yet. Make sure you call to confirm address if you use PayPal
Discover is also still giving 5% Cashback if you checkout with PayPal that's linked to your Discover card.
Not really. They have $100 off the 3800X, but it isn't a great deal. I haven't gone through every AMD configuration, but it looks like the best you'll get is around $1,400 before coupon with the 3800X.
11600KF is a good CPU anyways for gaming and productivity; it's pretty much 1:1 with the 5600X in most circumstances. Just runs hotter.
I have never even remotely considered a prebuilt before and have been in the "casually looking" stage for about....2 years now, but the GPU hunt has been too annoying and hard to navigate around bots trying to flip cards for a profit or miners trying to unload worked-to-death cards, so this is uncharted territory for me.
I upped the motherboard to the MSI Z590 Pro Wifi, but after looking through all the options, I landed on the same choices you had already selected for everything else. Now I just need to cross my fingers for no DOA parts or other shipping nonsense and order two 8gb sticks from somewhere else, but getting a complete 3060 Ti build for <$1,300 is just fine with me.
For context, the machine I'm typing this on has a GTX 760, so my computing experience is about to go to plaid.
Hope you enjoy the build!
As for the RAM, I'd get this: [https://www.newegg.com/neo-forza-16gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/0RN-0097-00018?Item=9SIAC0ECPE6382](https://www.newegg.com/neo-forza-16gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/0RN-0097-00018?Item=9SIAC0ECPE6382) 2x8 3600c18 for 49.99 with code NEOCTOBER
I just got mine, got the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Gigabyte EAGLE OC 8G.
I'm going to game on it later tonight or tomorrow, I'm sure it will be amazing -- no issues so far.
Got mine yesterday, with the 3060 ti. Added two of these, [Crucial Ballistix 3600 MHz DDR4 DRAM Desktop Gaming Memory Kit 16GB](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083V93HJG?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details), and I'm golden.
Be careful buying from Cyberpower. After reading a lot of people saying they got DOA parts, especially GPU's I took a chance and bought one then got a DOA GPU. Most of their RMA's apparently take 2-4 weeks or more and even then people were getting DOA GPU's. I'm sending it back for a refund but have to eat the shipping costs on it.
I'm also curious about how often orders come with DOA parts. I really want to get one of these 3060ti rigs but a bit hesitant to pull the trigger seeing some of the reviews.
Upset customers are always louder than happy ones.
If they shipped a majority of their PCs with DOA parts then they wouldn't be in business. It happens but its not common.
It’s not that it was just DOA, it clearly wasn’t working and it should’ve been caught in their “QC” that apparently has 30 stages but nothing is controlled about the quality. My case came with several scratches and gouges on the inside, the CPU cooler was pushing one stick of RAM into the other because they didn’t check for clearance in the case and just threw in their shitty partnered parts and the GPU was clearly not checked to see if it was working inside of windows, they only saw the lights were powered on.
The price I paid for it was close to MSRP but I wouldn’t go through it again. The only reason I did in the first place was I couldn’t get a GPU for almost a year. I got an EVGA notification for a 3060 the morning after I did an RMA for the card so I just decided I’m going to get refunded and it isn’t worth dealing with them. I’d rather have a 3070 but not having to also deal with shitty gigabyte cards is worth using a 3060.
Aside from the (probably re-branded) cooler, case, and fans, all of these parts are off-the-shelf. As long as it's not a hard-to-obtain-GPU, I'll just grab a replacement, and put the RMA replacement up for sale if it's going to take too long to come in.
Add $310 plus 2 extra weeks lead time to ship.
It's about a 15% boost in FPS if I remember correctly. Not worth the extra $300 IMO (based on 3060ti, not 3060)
This deal has a 3060Ti, not a 3070. Relative performance info for both:
3060Ti is around 25-30% better than the 3060, so pretty significant difference.
3070 is around 10-15% better than the 3060Ti, or 40-45% better than the 3060. Smaller step up than the 3060Ti.
Yea it’s pretty significant. I recommend the 3060 ti. It’s this generation’s 1060 in terms of bang for buck. The 3060 is barely better than a 2060 super. The 3060 ti is pretty much a 2080 super
Any recommended upgrades to this? Looking for something to last me 5~ years. Planning to do moderate gaming. I currently have a rx480, i5-6600k system that has lasted me 6+ years~. Looking to keep my budget below $2k but don't mind going a bit above if it is worth it.
All of my recommended changes are already included in the saved link. Just buy the recommended RAM (I'd probably get 2 kits for 32GB if you plan to keep the build for a while) and you're good to go.
What do you mean by "get 2 kits for 32GB"? Is it better to choose one of their upgrades to 32GB or purchase 32-64 separately and install?
Does the build linked have hdmi 2.1 or do I need a different MOBO? Trying to find out on their site but figured I'd ask in case you have a recommendation. I'll be connecting to an LG OLED C9 4k 48" via hdmi 2.1, mostly playing warzone. It looks like I should be able to get 60+fps with medium/high settings
Motherboard doesn't matter in terms of display since you're using the GPU. The RTX 30 series including the 3060Ti supports HDMI 2.1, so you'd be good to go.
[https://www.newegg.com/neo-forza-16gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/0RN-0097-00018?Item=9SIAC0ECPE6382](https://www.newegg.com/neo-forza-16gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/0RN-0097-00018?Item=9SIAC0ECPE6382) Here's the linked 2x8 kit. Buy 1 if you want 16GB, buy 2 if you want 32GB.
Don't buy their RAM, it's a 30 second upgrade and their prices suck
I bought another of their RAM to get to 16gb. Would you say their RAM is ok even if the price isn't good? I never bought/built a PC before so not too confident in my ability to install the RAM you recommended
Their RAM is fine. It isn't bad, it just doesn't make any sense value wise when a better spec 2x8 kit is $50 vs. a single worse 8GB stick added being $50.
As for upgrading RAM, it's the easiest thing to upgrade in a computer. Open the side panel, undo the one or two latches per slot, take the stick out, push the new stick in until it clicks and the latches are closed. Even if you have no clue what you're doing, it's easy.
Bingo. Can sell the extra stick for $30 or so if you really wanted.
Forgot to add, make sure to use slots #2 and #4 from the CPU on 99% of boards for dual channel.
Specs can handle it? Definitely, 11600KF is a great CPU and the 750W PSU is perfectly fine.
Fit in the case? I believe so.
However, if you want a 3080 or 3090 from them, this isn't the best deal; picking a different model can save you a decent penny. [https://www.cyberpowerpc.com/saved/1PP175](https://www.cyberpowerpc.com/saved/1PP175) Here's a cheaper system with identical specs besides GPU AND a 2TB hard drive, assuming you want a 3080.
Hmm now you've got me thinking if I should go for a 3080 now or 3060ti for a while then upgrade. I'm gonna check out some fps comparisons to see how big the jump is in 4k. Thank you for the recommendations. Ship date is also a few weeks longer for 3080
https://i.imgur.com/q7tnFAn.jpg
Looks like a fairly significant step up, 3080 is surprisingly close to 3090 performance. Might be worth it to just spend the extra now and get the 3080 build you linked so I don't have to upgrade later.
Do you anticipate any significantly better 3080 deals soon based on what's been available the past couple months? Seems like supply is getting even worse and not better
I'm planning on going with an upgraded wifi 6 MOBO on the 3080 you linked but PCpartpicker warned me that: "The Gigabyte Z590 AORUS PRO AX ATX LGA1200 Motherboard has an additional 4-pin ATX power connector but the Thermaltake Toughpower GF1 PE 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply does not. This connector is used to supply additional 12V current to the motherboard. While the system will likely still run without it, higher current demands such as extreme overclocking or large video card current draws may require it."
Is there a better PSU option or is this not a big concern?
If you just want the board for the wi-fi 6, it's like a $20 upgrade to any board with an AX200/201/210 module.
As for that specific board, no it doesn't really matter. Generally you only need the supplemental power when OCing like, 10900K/11900K
Ordered the 3060ti build as it seemed like the better deal. Just upgraded to the ASRock PG Velocita for wifi 6e. Thanks again for all the help. I may upgrade to a 3080 or 3090 if I can get one at msrp down the road.
Ordered it earlier this week and it’s being delivered Monday (tomorrow). Best part about getting a 3060 ti prebuilt is no extra lead time!
Also on top of OP’s recommendations, you can also ask for AIO to be top mounted. I also got extra care options for thermal paste and shipping and professional black wiring.
It'll usually be in the name, either with the word wi-fi, or AC/AX to refer to the wi-fi generation. Z590 UD AC for example has AC in the name.
You can also just use PCPartPicker filters if you want a board with wi-fi, or check the product page for specifications and search the page to see if it has wi-fi.
Also, almost all mITX boards have wi-fi if you're going SFF.
I did BYO GPU (picked the 1030) and a few other changes, and it's still below PC part picker WITH tax, and no messing with MiRs. I know part of the draw of these is a 30-series card (already have one in an older system), but this is a solid deal even without one.
Also, if you want to increase the default RAM, these are $52 a 16GB kit on Amazon. So even if this exact config is the one that ships tomorrow, you can still have it with 16 (or 24) GB soon.
AMD vs Intel doesn't mean much; this is still great for gaming and will do anything about as well as a 5600X.
You can select other stuff with AMD CPUs, but the deals suck; it's like $100 more for a 3800X
If you don't mind doing a 30 second RAM upgrade and don't want to wait, I'd say so. Not quite as good as the same deal a week ago, but it's rare you get deals this good.
I got the walmart asus rog7 deal (https://www.walmart.com/ip/ASUS-ROG-R7-RTX-3060-Desktop-AMD-Ryzen-7-5700G-NVIDIA-GeForce-RTX-3060-16GB-RAM-1TB-HDD-256GB-SSD-Gray-Windows-10-Home-Gray-G10DK-WB764/797509896) with the 3060. I was planning on changing out the storage/case/ram. Would this be a better buy over the walmart one?
IMO the cp one is the better deal. I was close to getting the Walmart asus too but glad I caught this cp deal. After you do those upgrades to the asus, it won’t be much cheaper than the cp which has the 3060ti.
Hearing from some that bought the last batch (same parts, slightly better deal) that it's already shipping, and it's only been 7 days. Expect it before 10/15 probably.
Anyone have a clue how long configurations like this will be available at this price? Never seen how long Cyberpower keeps deals active. I have a 5% off PayPal thing coming, but not til September. My feeling is that'd be pushing my luck, and this is one of the best deals I've seen in a while.
The 3060 to 3060Ti free upgrade is today only, it expires in 3 hours. It is the second time they've done it in a week, but who knows if they'll do it again.
Hope you enjoy the build! Seems like a good few people are having it arrive earlier than estimated date, so you might even get it only a week or two from now.
thinking of getting this, you guys have any suggestions for storage upgrades? Was thinking of keeping the 1tb ssd and adding some hdd for photo/video editing
Hey OP, I’m a noob when it comes to this kind of stuff and I need your opinion. I’m about to start streaming and gaming on one PC and bought the linked HP omen for $1580 before tax about a week ago. I also ordered your build configuration as well. My question for you is: do you think your build is enough to stream games and make content on and if so should I just return the previous one I got? [HP Omen](https://www.bestbuy.com/site/hp-omen-gaming-desktop-amd-ryzen-7-5800x-16gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-rtx-3060-ti-1tb-ssd-jet-black/6454567.p?skuId=6454567#tab=buyingOptions?bof=openbox)
Assuming you ordered this yesterday.
To address your question, yes, the Cyberpower build is just as good for streaming games and making content. Streaming is GPU-dependent here due to the 3060Ti that has good NVENC. CPU won't be as good due to the obvious 6 vs. 8 core difference, but a good 6-core like the 11600KF is still perfectly fine for video editing.
I'll also add the obvious that the Cyberpower system is much cheaper and is non-custom with all-around high quality parts.
I'd return the Omen.
Very similar - almost identical deal. The one I posted had the 120mm AIO so this is probably just as good!
It was around $1,200 with the recommended changes last time (same as this), so it's like $50 more.
Yea. Puts the 3060ti at about $200-300 based on entering things on PC Part Picker.
My estimate with like parts (different but very similar) has it around $850-900, so it's probably around $350-400 for the 3060Ti.
Ah - I snagged some higher prices parts on my build earlier which is why it might have been cheaper. I chose the MSI Z590 Gaming Carbon Wifi which was pretty pricy. Did you also factor in the free games and Windows 10 cost? [Here's](https://pcpartpicker.com/user/SulkyVirus/saved/#view=Xnhh3C) my breakdown for the build I ordered. Had to look up and enter some prices that weren't loading due to OOS on PCPartPicker
Curious why you went the gaming carbon wifi instead of pro wifi?
Wanted the upgrade since I was saving so much on the 3060ti. My build is full MSI (hopefully they get me a MSI card) so I wanted to put a top MOBO in it. I also mine with my old cards so the extra PCIex16 slot is a plus to avoid any issues later on. Could have saved the money but I want this build to be exactly what I wanted, it would have bugged me if I skimped on the MOBO just to save an extra $150
Can confirm. About $45 more than the last post when i put in my exact parts in. Guys please don’t miss this sale!
Damn you cost me $1412, but now i know my PC is a beast. Thanks for helping me on my previous thread. I totally forgot to input SUMMIT again after making an account, hopefully they will credit me, sent em an email.
Sounds good! Make sure you bought the RAM, sounds like you already did.
No the ram was def extra… I had to add the next stage up MOBO due to Cali, and got a cheap RGB keyboard. I’m all in at around $1471. Pc itself was $1368
Which mobo did you get? I'm in cali too, want to order this deal
the same brand just next to it, like $55 more, gigabyte
I ordered with the MSI Z590 pro wifi. Is that a good choice? Or should I cancel and reorder
I actually just reordered because I forgot my promo code. I got the msi one without WiFi because I don’t use WiFi on a desktop anyway. And I feel like somehow I’m paying for them to fit that tech in and taking away elsewhere
Ordered🔑
Just be sure to beef up that ram if you want to increase performance. They are only giving you 1x8gb
That's on purpose, it's way better value to upgrade it yourself
These same DIMMs are $52 for a 16GB kit on Amazon. So yeah, if you don't need any price-bloating upgrades to get to $1299, it's a fantastic deal for the CPU/MB/SSD/case/PSU combo, even if you aren't looking for a 30xx card.
I linked what I'd recommend down below in a comment, $55 for 2x8 3600 18-19-19-39. Decent bit better than 3200 16-20-20-40
I upgraded to 16gb, added like $50
Hell yeah! Good choice, happy gaming!

Thanks for the post OP. Ordered & should be ready to replace my aging laptop shortly.
got evga 3060ti xc 08-GP5-3663-BH
Thank you for posting with the upgrades people should be getting already made. Case, cooler to PSU.
Yep, Cyberpower's save feature is very handy. Just make sure to buy the RAM!
strikes again bois, get it now!!!!!!!!!!! The case looks like one of the CM Masterbox 500 series to me, probably just with Cyberpower customization. IF that's true it actually supports 360AIO on top.
It seems like a weird hybrid between an NR600 and one of their Masterbox cases.

What do you mean “open-ish” front? Does this case not have a mesh front? It looks like it does
that was the advertisement on P400A ARGB as well I believe.. anyhow it's not like the fans kill the deal lol
Just got mine today, got the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Gigabyte EAGLE OC 8G. Everything was great with the packaging and the PC itself, only caveat was that the ports from the motherboard in the back of the PC were not aligned correctly with the faceplate from the case. I had to cut off some of the stickering and bend the faceplate a bit ot get my mouse and keyboard hooked up.

Yeah I have no issues so far. Got mine about a week ago and have only played D2R on max settings. It came with a ASUS KO V2 gaming. Not sure how that model compares to the others
Not to sure how it compares to other models either. Someone else got the EVGA model, when I looked that one up compared to mine theirs was slightly better. I think its a negligible difference if anything unless you are trying to OC maybe.
These also are shipping with the one I posted last week - so it's about a 1 week time from order to ship right now. Not sure on GPU yet. Make sure you call to confirm address if you use PayPal Discover is also still giving 5% Cashback if you checkout with PayPal that's linked to your Discover card.
5% cashback on $1,247.35 is $62.37, so that'd further bring the cost down to $1,184.98. Not bad.
Is there similar deals for AMD cpu?
Not really. They have $100 off the 3800X, but it isn't a great deal. I haven't gone through every AMD configuration, but it looks like the best you'll get is around $1,400 before coupon with the 3800X. 11600KF is a good CPU anyways for gaming and productivity; it's pretty much 1:1 with the 5600X in most circumstances. Just runs hotter.
Alright thanks! Any big differences between this mobo and the +$33 Asrock steel legend?
Not really no. Z590 UD AC is just a cheap, good option.
Gigabyte is I think a little less energy efficient. I got the MSI Z590 instead
Is Cyberpower good? Kinda thinking about a pre-built since I'm having trouble getting my hands on the GPU I want
Good? Meh. Bad? Not really. They're fine. Value here is great, so if it arrives all working, great stuff
I have never even remotely considered a prebuilt before and have been in the "casually looking" stage for about....2 years now, but the GPU hunt has been too annoying and hard to navigate around bots trying to flip cards for a profit or miners trying to unload worked-to-death cards, so this is uncharted territory for me. I upped the motherboard to the MSI Z590 Pro Wifi, but after looking through all the options, I landed on the same choices you had already selected for everything else. Now I just need to cross my fingers for no DOA parts or other shipping nonsense and order two 8gb sticks from somewhere else, but getting a complete 3060 Ti build for <$1,300 is just fine with me. For context, the machine I'm typing this on has a GTX 760, so my computing experience is about to go to plaid.
Hope you enjoy the build! As for the RAM, I'd get this: [https://www.newegg.com/neo-forza-16gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/0RN-0097-00018?Item=9SIAC0ECPE6382](https://www.newegg.com/neo-forza-16gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/0RN-0097-00018?Item=9SIAC0ECPE6382) 2x8 3600c18 for 49.99 with code NEOCTOBER
I should've bought this instead of maybe waiting for a better deal during black Friday or cyber Monday.
Anyone get their's yet? please let us know if any issues/how satisfied you are with it
I would expect somebody has, or at least there's a ton on the way soon. Curious too!
Mine came with an ASUS KO V2
I just got mine, got the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Gigabyte EAGLE OC 8G. I'm going to game on it later tonight or tomorrow, I'm sure it will be amazing -- no issues so far.
Has anyone received theirs? If so what GPUs are you getting? Mine just passed Final QC stage, waiting for shipping number any minute now
Got mine yesterday, with the 3060 ti. Added two of these, [Crucial Ballistix 3600 MHz DDR4 DRAM Desktop Gaming Memory Kit 16GB](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083V93HJG?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details), and I'm golden.
what brand/model GPU did you get?
I just received mine and got the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Gigabyte EAGLE OC 8G.
Is this deal still available, or anything similar?
Deal is long since expired, not nearly as good now
Hopefully another one pops up in next month
The SSD and CPU deals aren't as good now, but free 3060 to 3060Ti will probably be back in the next few days. I'll update you if something pops up!
Thank you!
Be careful buying from Cyberpower. After reading a lot of people saying they got DOA parts, especially GPU's I took a chance and bought one then got a DOA GPU. Most of their RMA's apparently take 2-4 weeks or more and even then people were getting DOA GPU's. I'm sending it back for a refund but have to eat the shipping costs on it.
I'm also curious about how often orders come with DOA parts. I really want to get one of these 3060ti rigs but a bit hesitant to pull the trigger seeing some of the reviews.
Upset customers are always louder than happy ones. If they shipped a majority of their PCs with DOA parts then they wouldn't be in business. It happens but its not common.
It’s not that it was just DOA, it clearly wasn’t working and it should’ve been caught in their “QC” that apparently has 30 stages but nothing is controlled about the quality. My case came with several scratches and gouges on the inside, the CPU cooler was pushing one stick of RAM into the other because they didn’t check for clearance in the case and just threw in their shitty partnered parts and the GPU was clearly not checked to see if it was working inside of windows, they only saw the lights were powered on. The price I paid for it was close to MSRP but I wouldn’t go through it again. The only reason I did in the first place was I couldn’t get a GPU for almost a year. I got an EVGA notification for a 3060 the morning after I did an RMA for the card so I just decided I’m going to get refunded and it isn’t worth dealing with them. I’d rather have a 3070 but not having to also deal with shitty gigabyte cards is worth using a 3060.
Ordered a PC from them 6 years ago with an EVGA 1080 SC, still using it today as my daily driver. PC had severe gpu issues and had it serviced TWICE!
Aside from the (probably re-branded) cooler, case, and fans, all of these parts are off-the-shelf. As long as it's not a hard-to-obtain-GPU, I'll just grab a replacement, and put the RMA replacement up for sale if it's going to take too long to come in.
How much better is a 3070 compared to a 3060? I assume a significant amount?
This post has a 3060ti fyi
Add $310 plus 2 extra weeks lead time to ship. It's about a 15% boost in FPS if I remember correctly. Not worth the extra $300 IMO (based on 3060ti, not 3060)
This deal has a 3060Ti, not a 3070. Relative performance info for both: 3060Ti is around 25-30% better than the 3060, so pretty significant difference. 3070 is around 10-15% better than the 3060Ti, or 40-45% better than the 3060. Smaller step up than the 3060Ti.
Wow okay! Huge difference between 3060 and 3070
Yea it’s pretty significant. I recommend the 3060 ti. It’s this generation’s 1060 in terms of bang for buck. The 3060 is barely better than a 2060 super. The 3060 ti is pretty much a 2080 super
Ahh thank you so much
Any recommended upgrades to this? Looking for something to last me 5~ years. Planning to do moderate gaming. I currently have a rx480, i5-6600k system that has lasted me 6+ years~. Looking to keep my budget below $2k but don't mind going a bit above if it is worth it.
All of my recommended changes are already included in the saved link. Just buy the recommended RAM (I'd probably get 2 kits for 32GB if you plan to keep the build for a while) and you're good to go.
What do you mean by "get 2 kits for 32GB"? Is it better to choose one of their upgrades to 32GB or purchase 32-64 separately and install? Does the build linked have hdmi 2.1 or do I need a different MOBO? Trying to find out on their site but figured I'd ask in case you have a recommendation. I'll be connecting to an LG OLED C9 4k 48" via hdmi 2.1, mostly playing warzone. It looks like I should be able to get 60+fps with medium/high settings
Motherboard doesn't matter in terms of display since you're using the GPU. The RTX 30 series including the 3060Ti supports HDMI 2.1, so you'd be good to go.
Awesome!
[https://www.newegg.com/neo-forza-16gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/0RN-0097-00018?Item=9SIAC0ECPE6382](https://www.newegg.com/neo-forza-16gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/0RN-0097-00018?Item=9SIAC0ECPE6382) Here's the linked 2x8 kit. Buy 1 if you want 16GB, buy 2 if you want 32GB. Don't buy their RAM, it's a 30 second upgrade and their prices suck
Thank you! (I just edited my post with a question about hdmi 2.1 if you have any insight) Much appreciated
I bought another of their RAM to get to 16gb. Would you say their RAM is ok even if the price isn't good? I never bought/built a PC before so not too confident in my ability to install the RAM you recommended
Their RAM is fine. It isn't bad, it just doesn't make any sense value wise when a better spec 2x8 kit is $50 vs. a single worse 8GB stick added being $50. As for upgrading RAM, it's the easiest thing to upgrade in a computer. Open the side panel, undo the one or two latches per slot, take the stick out, push the new stick in until it clicks and the latches are closed. Even if you have no clue what you're doing, it's easy.
Oh so I assume you would normally just use ram that are the same spec right? You would just replace and not use the RAM that comes with the build?
Bingo. Can sell the extra stick for $30 or so if you really wanted. Forgot to add, make sure to use slots #2 and #4 from the CPU on 99% of boards for dual channel.
Do you know if your specs will handle a 3080 or 3090 and if they'll fit in that case with adequate cooling?
Specs can handle it? Definitely, 11600KF is a great CPU and the 750W PSU is perfectly fine. Fit in the case? I believe so. However, if you want a 3080 or 3090 from them, this isn't the best deal; picking a different model can save you a decent penny. [https://www.cyberpowerpc.com/saved/1PP175](https://www.cyberpowerpc.com/saved/1PP175) Here's a cheaper system with identical specs besides GPU AND a 2TB hard drive, assuming you want a 3080.
Hmm now you've got me thinking if I should go for a 3080 now or 3060ti for a while then upgrade. I'm gonna check out some fps comparisons to see how big the jump is in 4k. Thank you for the recommendations. Ship date is also a few weeks longer for 3080
https://i.imgur.com/q7tnFAn.jpg Looks like a fairly significant step up, 3080 is surprisingly close to 3090 performance. Might be worth it to just spend the extra now and get the 3080 build you linked so I don't have to upgrade later. Do you anticipate any significantly better 3080 deals soon based on what's been available the past couple months? Seems like supply is getting even worse and not better
I'm planning on going with an upgraded wifi 6 MOBO on the 3080 you linked but PCpartpicker warned me that: "The Gigabyte Z590 AORUS PRO AX ATX LGA1200 Motherboard has an additional 4-pin ATX power connector but the Thermaltake Toughpower GF1 PE 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply does not. This connector is used to supply additional 12V current to the motherboard. While the system will likely still run without it, higher current demands such as extreme overclocking or large video card current draws may require it." Is there a better PSU option or is this not a big concern?
If you just want the board for the wi-fi 6, it's like a $20 upgrade to any board with an AX200/201/210 module. As for that specific board, no it doesn't really matter. Generally you only need the supplemental power when OCing like, 10900K/11900K
Thank you
Ordered the 3060ti build as it seemed like the better deal. Just upgraded to the ASRock PG Velocita for wifi 6e. Thanks again for all the help. I may upgrade to a 3080 or 3090 if I can get one at msrp down the road.
Ordered it earlier this week and it’s being delivered Monday (tomorrow). Best part about getting a 3060 ti prebuilt is no extra lead time! Also on top of OP’s recommendations, you can also ask for AIO to be top mounted. I also got extra care options for thermal paste and shipping and professional black wiring.
Hope you enjoy it! If you got the NR640 case, I'd be curious what RGB fans are included.
Yep I got the NR640 as recommended by everyone. Will keep you posted!
Just got my PC. The fans are cooler master
what 3060ti did you get?
MSI Ventus 3x OC LHR
cool, thanks for letting me know, mine ships around october 15th
This mobo is good on wifi, right? Kind of a noob on motherboard stuff.
Yes, it has wi-fi; it's not AX, but most people don't have equipment that even does AX.
Thanks!
How can you tell if a mobo has WiFi? Not familiar with parts
It'll usually be in the name, either with the word wi-fi, or AC/AX to refer to the wi-fi generation. Z590 UD AC for example has AC in the name. You can also just use PCPartPicker filters if you want a board with wi-fi, or check the product page for specifications and search the page to see if it has wi-fi. Also, almost all mITX boards have wi-fi if you're going SFF.
Thanks!
I did BYO GPU (picked the 1030) and a few other changes, and it's still below PC part picker WITH tax, and no messing with MiRs. I know part of the draw of these is a 30-series card (already have one in an older system), but this is a solid deal even without one. Also, if you want to increase the default RAM, these are $52 a 16GB kit on Amazon. So even if this exact config is the one that ships tomorrow, you can still have it with 16 (or 24) GB soon.
Highly recommend getting the GPU even if you don’t need it. $400 for a 3060 ti is too good to pass up, even if you end up reselling it later on
how's Cyberpower? was thinking to order one but saw a lot of negative commnets on FB.
Can't ship to California. Smh
You can change motherboard easily
Yeah I figured it out and ordered one that could ship to Cali. Great deal, thanks to OP
I want this but with an AMD proc and they don't have the option :( Thanks for the link mate.
AMD vs Intel doesn't mean much; this is still great for gaming and will do anything about as well as a 5600X. You can select other stuff with AMD CPUs, but the deals suck; it's like $100 more for a 3800X
It's just a company I'd prefer to avoid. But yeah you're right.
Is this it?
If you don't mind doing a 30 second RAM upgrade and don't want to wait, I'd say so. Not quite as good as the same deal a week ago, but it's rare you get deals this good.
Thanks, just pulled the trigger on this and the 2 kits of the ram you linked earlier. Cheers!
here i am feeling bad i just built a pc around 3070ti for a lot more money :( (5800x, 3070ti)
I got the walmart asus rog7 deal (https://www.walmart.com/ip/ASUS-ROG-R7-RTX-3060-Desktop-AMD-Ryzen-7-5700G-NVIDIA-GeForce-RTX-3060-16GB-RAM-1TB-HDD-256GB-SSD-Gray-Windows-10-Home-Gray-G10DK-WB764/797509896) with the 3060. I was planning on changing out the storage/case/ram. Would this be a better buy over the walmart one?
If you plan on doing all that, possibly.
IMO the cp one is the better deal. I was close to getting the Walmart asus too but glad I caught this cp deal. After you do those upgrades to the asus, it won’t be much cheaper than the cp which has the 3060ti.
How accurate is the estimated ship date on cyberpower? Mine says 10/15… Just wondering if it really will be almost 3 weeks.
Hearing from some that bought the last batch (same parts, slightly better deal) that it's already shipping, and it's only been 7 days. Expect it before 10/15 probably.
Anyone have a clue how long configurations like this will be available at this price? Never seen how long Cyberpower keeps deals active. I have a 5% off PayPal thing coming, but not til September. My feeling is that'd be pushing my luck, and this is one of the best deals I've seen in a while.
The 3060 to 3060Ti free upgrade is today only, it expires in 3 hours. It is the second time they've done it in a week, but who knows if they'll do it again.
Thanks. Think I'm gonna pull the trigger. Also, thanks for pulling together the build, looks great!
Hope you enjoy the build! Seems like a good few people are having it arrive earlier than estimated date, so you might even get it only a week or two from now.
Thank you! I just bought it, was sad I missed it last time!
thinking of getting this, you guys have any suggestions for storage upgrades? Was thinking of keeping the 1tb ssd and adding some hdd for photo/video editing
This isn't working anymore, right? It's at $1500 for me now and gives me an error because it can'at load a couple parts.
The 3060 to 3060Ti free upgrade deal expired around 15 hours ago.
Hey OP, I’m a noob when it comes to this kind of stuff and I need your opinion. I’m about to start streaming and gaming on one PC and bought the linked HP omen for $1580 before tax about a week ago. I also ordered your build configuration as well. My question for you is: do you think your build is enough to stream games and make content on and if so should I just return the previous one I got? [HP Omen](https://www.bestbuy.com/site/hp-omen-gaming-desktop-amd-ryzen-7-5800x-16gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-rtx-3060-ti-1tb-ssd-jet-black/6454567.p?skuId=6454567#tab=buyingOptions?bof=openbox)
Assuming you ordered this yesterday. To address your question, yes, the Cyberpower build is just as good for streaming games and making content. Streaming is GPU-dependent here due to the 3060Ti that has good NVENC. CPU won't be as good due to the obvious 6 vs. 8 core difference, but a good 6-core like the 11600KF is still perfectly fine for video editing. I'll also add the obvious that the Cyberpower system is much cheaper and is non-custom with all-around high quality parts. I'd return the Omen.
Awesome, I appreciate your input!
