CyberpowerPC Gamer Xtreme VR GXiVR8560A Gaming PC (Intel i7-9700F 3.0GHz, 16GB DDR4, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 6GB, 120GB SSD, 1TB HDD, WiFi & Win 10) Black

Update: 04-23-2019 After the parts upgrade, I realized that the airflow in this case is pretty bad. The front glass/plastic panel really restricts intake and the two exhaust fans do not provide much cooling. Also, the stock CPU cooler is bad. Heres an update list: New case for better airflow: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LRVHH6K/?coliid=I3T7UQUZ8Y0T3A&colid=899YVSMGDQZF&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it New CPU cooler (was considering doing a liquid/water cooler but I am going to try this first as it is cheaper): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005O65JXI/?coliid=I2SSI1GFCE14WD&colid=899YVSMGDQZF&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it New Case Fans (Aftermarket Quality Upgrade, dont think it is necessary but): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00F6S10KK/?coliid=I3BX5KDAGZIOA&colid=899YVSMGDQZF&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it At the end of the day, I might as well get a new motherboard to give me some more room to work and upgrade in the future. I can say that by this point I should have just built my own to begin with. Would have cost around the same anyways. But as a pretty amateur builder, this has been a good learning experience. Do not buy pre-builds people! Update: 03-19-2019 I have since replaced the Generic Low-Wattage PSU with this here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NXKRP6Q/?coliid=I1VA5HPP7W87AA&colid=3OL627M17AT18&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it No more GPU over heating issues. Other things Id like to mention: The SSD comes with the OS loaded on it, leaving no room for games that almost require being installed on a SSD (WoW is the main thing that comes to mind.) I installed this one here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07K1NB8XN/?coliid=I2EDEVCX084V90&colid=3OL627M17AT18&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it Also, the MOBO has 2 more slots for RAM, I installed these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0134EW7G8/?coliid=IU6DBX0SDPBC&colid=3OL627M17AT18&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it Finally, to top it off, I am going to install this GPU: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MC23VS4/?coliid=ICJEIUIB53QTD&colid=3OL627M17AT18&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it And another added layer of frustration with this PC, this case is a custom Cyberpower creation; meaning, it is a pain in the ass to get in there to remove the shoddy parts they have installed. Just upgrading the PSU alone has given this PC new life. With some extra time and effort I now have a strong PC that can play anything without issue. I still stand by what is stated in my original review. If a pre-built PC requires extra parts and labor after delivery, then it has failed its sole purpose at being a pre-built PC. Id like to say that this PC on paper is great. Decent GPU and processor. Can play plenty of games without issue. However, what is not mentioned ANYWHERE in the product description is the cheap, low-wattage PSU included. Not only is this PSU not a brand name but a generic PSU, it is too low of wattage to support the components they installed. The GPU overheats due to a lack of power and shuts off; which can cause permanent damage and shorten the life span of the hardware entirely. Not to mention is also a fire hazard. It is fairly shady marketing to sell "expertly assembled" PCs that are made without quality hardware. Right now I am afraid to use my PC until I can get the PSU replaced with something that should have been installed in the first place. On top of all of this, the tech support was anything but helpful. After explaining my issue, they still could not identify a problem. It wasnt until I Googled, "Cyberpower bad PSU" that I found a myriad of people on forums discussing how bad their PSUs are and have they have RUINED PCs by destroying their hardware with cheap power. First impressions are lasting impressions and I will never buy a Cyberpower PC again.

- Turns off at random after 4 days out of the box and then doesnt turn on anymore on the 5th day after using it. It doesnt come with a built in wifi adapter so you need to buy one if you plan on going wireless like me. It was shutting down at random on July 30th and then on the morning of July 31st, 2018 I turned it on and it did nothing. The fans didnt even go on. I checked to see what was wrong and it turns out that the PSU is most likely bad and doesnt work. I only ever opened the case to take out the styrofoam protection, install a wifi adapter card and to check what was wrong with the PC today. - I opened this PC a few days after it arrived and I installed a wifi adapter on July 27th. From there, I installed the Drivers and Utilities that came with the PC as well as the Driver for the wifi adapter. That was the first day I actually used it and it was fine until 4 days later where it would constantly turn off at random and then finally on the morning of July 31st where I pressed the power button and it wouldnt turn on. - Ive had this PC since July 18th, but used it for the first time on July 27th, 10 days after I received it. I installed the wifi adapter card on the same day I used it for the first time and thought everything was going to be fine from that point on. This was until I was met with random shut downs and a PC that wont turn on later afterwards. - I have to say Im very disappointed. I really loved what this PC had to offer when it worked in that small span of time. I dont even know what caused the PSU to stop working all of a sudden when it was working completely fine in the span of days where I used it. I checked temperatures and cables and everything was normal. I guess I just pulled the short end of the stick on this PC... Im going to call tech support and hope for a refund or even better, a replacement PSU thats better or actually works... I really do love this PC... Im just a bit disappointed on how long it lasted me... EDIT: August 27, 2018 - After multiple testing and leaving the PC on for a 48 hour period, I can safely say that the PC I ordered now works fine. After being frustrated with a PC that didnt work, I finally found out that the Power Supply Unit the PC came with was at fault the entire time. The Power Supply my PC came with was a non-branded 500 Watt Bronze Unit. This Power Supply worked but was not powerful enough to support all of the PCs components after I installed a Wifi Adapter Card on the Motherboard which was why the PC kept turning off at random. The PSU that the PC came with finally died and the PC would not turn back on, much to my frustration. Amazon support said I could not refund my money simply because I opened the case which made little to no sense since I had to open the case anyways in order to remove the styrofoam that was protecting the Graphics Card inside. CyberPower PC support offered me a replacement PC but I did not feel like getting a replacement since I had a hunch of what I needed to do to get this PC to work again. Since then, I have bought a new 850 Watt Bronze Power Supply Unit by EVGA and have replaced the old 500 Watt Bronze Power Supply Unit that came with the PC. Since the installment of the 850 Watt Bronze Unit, the PC has worked fine for long periods of time, the longest time being 2 days straight. For the people who are thinking of buying this PC, please read the following and learn from my experience: No Wireless Internet Option - The PC does not have a built in WiFi receiver which means you NEED a wired connection using an ethernet cable in order to connect to the internet. If you want to go the wireless route like I did, you will have to buy a WiFi Adapter Card and install it on your motherboard like I did which was very simple. Im not a computer whiz and even I was able to install the WiFi Adapter Card onto the motherboard. This is the WiFi Adapter Card that I bought and used in order to have a Wireless internet connection on this PC: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0079XWMEI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Weak Power Supply Unit - The PC comes with a very weak 500 Watt Bronze Power Supply Unit that wasnt listed in the specs and is expected to power High Spec parts like the Graphics Card and the Processing Unit which it most certainly is not powerful enough to support. If you want to upgrade or install more parts, you will need a more powerful Power Supply Unit or else one day, you will press the power button and the computer will not turn on due to not having enough power for all the components and parts your PC has installed on the motherboard. I would recommend you get a Power Supply Unit that is over 750 Watts just to be safe but I believe 650 Watts would suffice. If you plan to leave this PC on for long periods of time, you must pick a Power Supply Unit that is both 650 Watts or over and it must be 80+ Silver or Gold in order to save energy. Pick reliable and known brands like EVGA or Corsair. No Optical Bay (Disc Drive) - The PC comes with Discs that install your Drivers and Utilities, however the PC DOES NOT include an optical bay so you cannot even install these Drivers and Utilities with the Discs it comes with. For those of you who do not know what an optical bay is, it is the part of your computer that takes in DVDs, Bluray Discs, and other Discs that are used for installing programs, apps, utilities, or even used to install and play a PC game. If you want to install these Drivers and Utilities that come with the PC, you either need to look it up on their website, download and then install it (Which is a hassle and was impossible to do for me since I knew nothing about these Drivers and Utilities); OR you can use the discs they included in the box by connecting an External Optical Drive via USB to your PC and installing it all by disc which is what I did. Installing an Internal Optical Bay inside this PC is not an option since the Tower Case is not compatible (It has no openings whatsoever for an Optic Bay). I recommend to use an old External Optic Bay or buy a new one from Amazon to install these Drivers and Utilities. Most External Optic Bays price range are about $20 to $35 which isnt too bad. Has 2 Storage Drives: 120GB + 1TB - I see some people in the comments and questions section complaining about how there is only 120GB of Space. These people are technically right but they are also wrong. The 120GB of Space is your Local Disk (C:) but there is another 1TB of space which is equal to about 1000GB of space in the (D:) Drive. All in all, the amount of space in this PC should be about 1,120GB (1.12TB) which is the right amount of Space needed for a Gaming PC. Just make sure to install all your games inside the (D:) Drive and not in the Program Files or Program Files (x86) which is inside of the (C:) Drive. Local Disk: (C:) Drive - 120GB New Volume: (D:) Drive - 1TB (1000GB)

Ive owned this PC for about 3 months now. Solid PC, An intelligently put together PC thats cost effective. It gets a little loud under duress, but handles it fine. Ive had a couple crashes here and there. Not sure if PC or OS though. I sadly "updated" my LAN driver and now requires a network reset almost every time I turn it back on. Aside from that its my only con. I love the ambient lighting and any faults with the device has been mostly user error. I will need to install more memory sooner or later.. and the graphics card is modern enough to play everything for now. ***update 01/05/19 purchased 7/22/18*** Went to turn it on today. Nothing. Mouse wont light up, keyboard wont light up. I think the PSU(power supply unit) has crapped out. Which is weird.. Cause I turned the pc off just like every other day through the start menu. So it died while off. Im going to try and have the PSU replaced but I mean it didnt even survive 6 months? Come on cyber power. Do better. *2/13/19* I forgot to update. A new PSU did fix everything and is now working fine. I actually forgot I had an extra PSU so I fixed this rather quickly. No thanks to cyber power.
