Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The PC is superb for the price (got it on Black Friday for $876 before taxes). It was a little better than what I thought it was. And while it does have it's flaws, they're not exactly deal breakers. I got this PC a little over a week ago, and everything is running fine, so far. TLDR: The PC is good overall, and it can use some minor adjustments, a new CPU Cooler, some more RAM, and some more storage. And with a FRESH install of Windows 11, you don't have to worry about any bloatware. Some of these things are easy to do, so someone with a lack of experience can probably do so it's not a big issue, and that's why I recommend it for those who might not know much about PCs, but rather just want to do some gaming with good price to performance, or someone who wants to get their kid a brand new PC for Christmas or something. The exact specs I got: i5-11400F @2.6GHz with stock cooler EVGA RTX 2060 (not SC, sorry) single fan TeamGroup T-Force 1x8gb @ 3200MHz Thermaltake 600W 80+Gold Gigabyte B560 DS3H AC WD Blue SN550 NVMe SSD 500gb CPU Performance: Cinebench R20: ALL CORES: 3900 Cinebench R23: ALL CORES: 9969 SINGLE CORE: 1350 GPU PERFORMANCE: Unigine Heaven Benchmark (1080p, high): 5204 Unigine Heaven Benchmark(1080p, Ultra preset): 2346 The Pros: 1. It is a good value PC for what circumstances we are in right now(chip shortage) 2. Decent cable management. The cable management was well routed, and making the PC look very clean from the inside and the back. The main issue I had was that the basement kind of looked like a "rat's nest." 3. Good overall performance. The PC runs really well, with the CPU scoring 3900~ points on Cinebench R20, and 9969 points on Cinebench R23. I will do GPU benchmarks some time in the future, but as far as I'm concerned, it does fine with the games I threw at it. 4. Fresh Install of Windows 11 (no 3rd party bloatware). Prebuilt companies such as Dell, HP and Lenovo include a bunch of Bloatware that can effect performance. A video by Gamers Nexus showed that the bloatware on the G5 5000 was so bad that it used 30% of the GPU while idle. 5. Good airflow. The PC has 3 intake fans on the front with a mesh like design where it has a bunch of little holes enough to get cool air into the PC instead of having it closed off, and one exhaust fan, which are standard. 6. Excellent packaging. The packaging was excellent, it had foam packaging on the outside and the inside. This makes sure that none of the components are damaged while being shipped or delivered. The Cons: 1. The PC comes with the stock intel cooler, which is fine for web browsing, but I often times catch the cooler running really loud, even if its just at 40°C~. I would recommend switching it for a tower cooler with a 120mm fan or similar. I went with the Vetroo V5 cooler and it runs quite and performs well with 52°C-ish while running at max load 2. It only comes with 1 stick of ram. When you're paying at least $1k for a pc, it should be a common thing that it comes with 16gb(2x8gb), especially because 16gb is becoming the new standard. You can get a dual stick kit from PNY or something, or even just buy the same ram stick as the one in your build, unfortunately I couldn't find the exact one because it actually comes in a dual stick pack, and CyberPowerPC only put one of them. 3. The model that was chosen for the RTX 2060. As I mentioned in the parts breakdown above, the EVGA RTX 2060 only has one fan on it, and while this may not affect performance much, it might run hotter than your typical dual fan GPU. This also causes it to get louder because the single fan has to do more work whenever the GPU is reaching temperatures in the 60s, I found. It gets way louder when at full speed in comparison to my CPU fan. This is more of a nit pick, some others might not mind it or really care, but I just thought it might be something worth mentioning. Adding on to this - After tuning it on MSI Afterburner, the fan may be loud, but it does maintain a temp around 70°C, which is great. 4. Low storage. The PC only comes with 500gb of storage, and that's the boot drive alone. I would recommend getting an extra 1TB hard drive or something alike. I've done this already and added a 500gb SSD for games as well as 750gb HDD for anything else that doesn't really need the fast speed. It's really easy to do, so it's probably not that big of a deal to some. The computer is fine overall. It can be better though if it just made some small adjustments like getting a better CPU cooler and putting a 2nd stick of ram, and maybe a dual fan GPU, there is a dual fan version of the card in the specs, too. I would recommend it to those who might not know much about computers because, at least in my case, the PC really was just plug n' play. I will be updating my review if anything happens that might be noteworthy since it has only been a week, and I will possibly include GPU benchmark figures as well sometime in the future as well.
