CYBERPOWERPC Gamer Master Gaming PC, AMD Ryzen 3 3100 3.6GHz, 8GB DDR4, Radeon RX 550 2GB, 240GB SSD, 2TB HDD, WiFi Ready & Win 10 Home(GMA888A5)

It's been a long time since I built a PC, so I thought I would get a ready-made gamer version to handle more graphics intensive work. This machine seemed to have it all for a reasonable price in these chip-shortage times. Maybe eventually I'll play some GTA-V with mods on it! The Computer looked fine coming out of the box, no used items. I checked all the cables, plugs, cards, chips, and etc. before power on. No loose screws or unplugged items found. There are different kinds of DVI cables (this Radeon RX 550 card is DVI-D), unless you use an HDMI cable (which includes sound). I added another 8GB stick of RAM after initial set up and checks. The RAM installed in the unit is 1 stick of 8GB DDR4 3000MHz CL16 1.35V by Patriot - P48G3006UPSB. Pro gamers like to have 2 sticks minimum, for better frame rates (FPS). I'm no pro, but I was kind of surprised it did not come with 2 sticks of RAM (for a gamer PC) - but that was not a show stopper. The SSD and HDD came set up. Seems to be a pretty powerful PC even for office use. The colorful fans look nice. Plenty of USB connections. WI-FI and Bluetooth Antennas included. Radeon Bios were up to date out of the box. CPU is a AMD Ryzen 3 3100 4-Core processor. I was lucky and grabbed mine on prime day, and I'm happy with it. Observations: • No Packing foam installed to hold GPU Card during shipping (Gasp!) • Even with all these fans, it is Quiet! • Cable management looks good, unused plugs tucked out of sight. • I could not see what the power supply rating was, unless I disassembled the bottom of the case - which has a dust filter. • I did not see any other dust filters. • May Need Internet connection to set up Windows. • May Need Microsoft Account to set up Windows. • No DVI-D or HDMI cable supplied. • Keyboard has only white LEDs, but all the rest are RGB color. • RAM and drives are setup in the BIOS already. • No Bloatware installed. • Operating System (OS) is on the SSD - Good! • Has a little remote for the Case fan RGB color LEDs - Cool! • Handy USB's on the front of the case for game pads. • All of the parts look to be replaceable, so cool for right to repair and upgrades! • Comes with a CD of AMD utils, so you may need an external DVD/CD to read it. • See pictures for details. Update: • I tried to check the power supply again, but without unplugging ALL of the power cables, all I could see was that it was an Apevia Power Supply. • The CPU fan, Graphics card, and RAM (did) not have any RGB LEDs. • Added LED Strip kit from Apevia - which also made the RGB LEDs, Fans, and possibly the case for this Cyberpower PC. • Added the RAM RGB LED Kit (not controlled by the Apevia LED Controller) - plugged into the motherboard (5 VDC). • The RGB LED remote is an RF (Radio Frequency) unit vs. IR (Infrared). I used the extra parts from the Apevia RGB Fans kit to make a CPU fan LED ring. See added pictures & short clip. • The bottom RGB fan on the front of the case was 90 degrees off from the top 2 fans. RGB LED Light show was a tiny bit of mismatch - Fixed. • Got a new RGB Keyboard, and some nice white speakers. • The inside of the computer kind of looks like a pinball or pachinko machine, so I added some items to look at. - Added the Robot and Car for visual interest - (with added head & tail lights powered by the USB and controlled by a buck converter down to 3.7 VDC). • After a few days, I had to Activate the version (10 Home) of Windows. The Cyberpower support site has instructions. • There is a small dust filter at the bottom of the front cover. • Covered exposed color power supply cables with some black electrical tape to make the inside of the case all black. • I am still satisfied that this computer can do more than I need with the (now) 16GB of dual channel RAM. Disclaimer: • These are my observations as an old school computer geek, not a YouTube tech personality/influencer.

The video card completely failed after just 4 months. The fans stopped spinning, it stopped sending signal... total card death. When I contacted customer support for a warranty replacement, I discovered their policy is to make the customer pay for all of the shipping of the broken parts. Both sending in the bad part, and receiving the new one. They do not offer dropship/cross-ship, which means I have to send the broken part in... then they will determine if it's ACTUALLY broken. Actually broken? Their return time has no guarantee and it could be up to two weeks AFTER they receive the broken part before they will determine the next step... which means likely, I'll be without a computer for a month, and that's if they decide to actually help at all. Compared to competitors pricing and service levels ... I would never recommend buying from CyberPower.

I purchased this computer to replace my old tower after I damaged the chassis (and had some other hardware failures). Getting it out of the box and set up was easy enough to do. The included documents had the quickstart guide which told me that some towers may have cushioning foam inside or disconnected cords. My particular tower did not. I did have an issue with Windows not activating correctly out of the box. However, there was a tech support email in the box of stuff and I was able to reach out to someone who gave me a different license key to try so the issue was resolved within 24 hours. The fact that there was only 8GB ram was surprising to me, but not an issue since I was able to take the ram from my old tower and use that instead.

So, for a long time I've wanted to get a gaming computer. Finally this last month my husband and I ordered one. For days I kept looking at PCs with the best ratings and it came down to 2: An HP Pavilion, or a Cyberpower. I had an HP laptop that was gifted to me years ago but absolutely hated it, so we decided to do the Cyberpower. Best. Purchase. Ever. It's soooo quiet and runs so smoothly! My husband loves it because he can now play LoL, and I can finally play OW and horror games with my friends! Definitely will need to upgrade the RAM and whatnot eventually, but that's no big deal. Definitely will be buying another Cyberpower again in the future! <3

I unboxed it and noticed it wasn’t like the picture was it didn’t have the same red ram card and it didn’t have any packaging inside to keep things from flapping around but it was okay when I hooked it all up and I had one issue called cyber power and they told me how to fix it runs my Warzone at 20-60 FPS not great but it’s playable :/
