Ello gamers. I'm looking to upgrade Pc's. I built my old pc but I'm looking for a prebuilt this time around. I've found one that's caught my eye from Cyrberpower thats on sale and just wanted an opinion on the price for the specs. It's a decent upgrade from what I'm currently running.
Current specs. Had this build coming up 5 years now, an upgrade is due lol

Hi,
From experience you are always better off to build your own PC than buy a prebuilt as you typically get more for your money, however, with regards to the prebuilt you have provided a link to I would typically be looking towards an AMD Ryzen 7 or i7 10th series as a benchmark. Could you provide a little more information, what games are you looking to play and how do these games perform on your current build? |

As the above user mentioned, pre-builds will always work out to be more expensive than building one yourself, they also tend to use cheap cases, cheap fans, etc.
However, if you're happy to spend that much, you're getting a good system - my only concerns is that the case is cheap therefore airflow realistically wouldn't be brilliant and the fans also are cheap 'oh look at me i've got rgb' style, but other than that, a fairly overall solid system. Very good upgrade from your current system, you'll notice a huge difference in all aspects! 11/10 would recommend (if you or a friend etc is able) buying the parts and building the system yourself - good knowledge to know and its a fun process to do, and you save money/get better parts for the price. |

Brad_ wrote As the above user mentioned, pre-builds will always work out to be more expensive than building one yourself, they also tend to use cheap cases, cheap fans, etc. I completely agree, I have a friend with this exact case and when playing the new Warzone 2.0, he has had to replace the CPU fan and have the glass side panel slightly off to keep temperatures below 70 degrees. In terms of the specifications though the PC should be a brilliant purchase. Be mindful to check the specs as the RAM installed in my friends Cyberpower PC was not the same speed as listed in mhz. |

I'd 100% avoid a cyberpower prebuilt.
If you're wanting to take a lazy way out with prebuilts, you need to only buy one from a more "booshie" brand. Prebuilt are going to cheap out on components that are actually really important. Getting a bad motherboard can make a huge difference even if you have what you want out of a CPU/GPU for example. Building a PC honestly isn't that hard, and there are great guides out there. If you want to post what your budget is and what you are looking to get out of computer, along with the main things you use/want to use I can help build a comparable list for you from PC Part picker |

Like a few others have mentioned, I'd stay away from CyberPower. I've bought from them before and it was nothing but a HUGE headache. I had so many problems with that damn thing it just wasn't worth it.
If you're going to buy a prebuilt I'd buy from somewhere more reliable like PC MicroCenter (depending on where you're located), or even just BestBuy or Newegg. As far as specs go, they aren't bad, but they aren't great either. What sort of games are you looking to use the PC for? |

I had so many problems with that damn thing it just wasn't worth it. BB and Newegg will still cheap out on parts. At least IMO, you should only buy a prebuilt if you aren't wanting to do the work and have the extra cash to waste, and to really only get it from an experienced and reliable brand that works on building top-tier stuff, which will basically be using off the shelf components and tweaking everything for you like setting up the most optimal overclocking and what not. Just building yourself is gonna save you money and return a better product, as well as tailoring every aspect exactly how you want |

| The only real benefit i see to modern prebuilts is price gouging on GPUs aren't always reflected, personally i'd see what the latest drivers your MB supports, grab another matching kit of ram, and part out what you do no need and expand from there. Likewise if you're looking for a prebuilt then the sticky should still help us get a grasp of what to look for or suggest. |

Likewise if you're looking for a prebuilt then the sticky should still help us get a grasp of what to look for or suggest. even when the gpu price gouging was at its peak id still stay away from prebuilts just bc they really do cheap out on important components that people genuinely dont think about. you could have the same spec setup as someone else as well and still be getting worse performance due to one or multiple parts, or just how they built it can effect it sometimes. but in todays market you can get a great gpu for a decent price; 100% stay away from prebuilts IMO |
