CyberpowerPC Gamer Xtreme VR Gaming PC, Intel i5-10400F 2.9GHz, GeForce GTX 1660 Super 6GB, 8GB DDR4, 500GB NVMe SSD, WiFi Ready & Win 10 Home (GXiVR8060A10)

As of late December 2020, the MasterBox NR640 came equipped with: CPU -Intel i5-10400F w/ what I believe is a stock cooler MB - Gigabyte B460M DS3H AC-Y1 GPU - Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1660 Super RAM -- 1x8GB Crucial Ballistix PC3000 Storage - 500 GB Western Digital NVMe SSD (WDS500G2B0C-00PXH0) Case - CyberPower OEM PSU -- ? Mouse -- CyberPower OEM wired gaming mouse Keyboard -- Cyberpower OEM wired keyboard The price (from Amazon) at the time of purchase was $799, and all things considered, I believe this was actually a very good value for what I'd call a low-to-mid level gaming PC (whether or not others would call it that I don't know). Under normal circumstances, I think I might give this 4 stars, but considering the price point, the included components, and the price of those (or similar) individual components purchased individually, I have to call this a 5 star value. The unit was very well packed. Setup was as simple as pulling it out of the box and turning it on. There was minimal bloatware installed. I was pleasantly surprised to find Gigabyte components, Crucial RAM, and a WD SSD. Those may not be the gamers' favorites, but I really thought I'd be getting bottom tier components in a pre-built at this price. The CyberPower case is, in my opinion, quite nice. It's roomy. It seems to have excellent airflow. I'm not at all fanatical about cable management, but I'd describe what I got as very neat. My son likes the RGB fans and the glass side which allows him to see inside. Front inputs are limited to 2xUSB and audio input and output, but that meets our needs. The PSU is, unfortunately, a figurative and literal black box. I can't find any specs or identifying features on it. That raises some concern for future upgradeability, but it's doing the job for now. The mouse was surprisingly nice. It's RGB and has (IIRC) 7 programmable buttons. My son is using his wireless Razer gaming mouse with this new PC, but he's using the CyberPower mouse with his gaming laptop now, and he likes it. It has developed a squeak after just a few days of use, though. They keyboard, IMO, is junk. It's huge. It's clunky. The white backlighting just makes it hard to read keys. However, my son actually likes it for gaming, describing it as "solid". I told him we could get him a better keyboard, but he says he's fine with it, so maybe beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The decision to use 1 stick of 8 GB RAM is unfortunate. Using 2x4 seems like it would have been much more sensible. Performance was certainly hampered by not being able to take advantage of dual channel. We added a second 8 GB PC3000 stick ourselves, adding about $40 to our overall cost. The WD NVMe SSD isn't blazing fast as NVMe drives go, but compared to a spinning HDD, it's white lightning. The 500 GB size is adequate, although I've explained to my son that he may want to add a larger HDD if he winds up wanting to install a lot of games and save a lot of data. Straight out of the box, 3DMark Time Spy score was 5903 (5886 graphics, 6006 CPU). Adding the second stick of RAM raised the Time Spy CPU score to just over 7100. The GTX 1660 Super seems to have pretty good OCing potential. The card has so far stayed cool regardless of how high we OC, although we haven't really been aggressive so far. The best we've achieved is a Time SPY graphics score of a bit over 6300. So far, my son is primarily using this rig to play and stream Fortnite (and some other games whose names I don't recall). While streaming, he's able to keep his Fortnite FPS > 100 on 1080p Ultra settings, which seems to make him happy. A little more context: My son asked for a gaming PC for Christmas. Many years ago (like, > 15) I used to enjoy building and OCing PCs. I didn't play games, really. I just liked building PCs and seeing how far I could stretch their performance. As such, I really tend to look down on pre-built machines, particularly the mass made (as opposed to made-to-order) pre-builts. So, I picked my price point, found the components with MSRP which best fit that price point, and started shopping -- this was in early December 2020. I was pretty unhappy to find that decent GPUs were impossible to find at anywhere near MSRP, and the Ryzen CPU (and similar stable mates) were also impossible to find near MSRP. They were only available from resellers who were jacking the price up to 2x or more the MSRP, completely blowing my budget. I started trying to cut corners -- maybe a smaller and slower hard drive, maybe a worse case, maybe drop the PSU to minimum specs -- but eventually still had to start making CPU and GPU sacrifices. I had alerts set all over but just wasn't find the components I wanted in stock at retail prices. One day, while doing a search on Amazon, hoping the GPU I was settling for, would be available at MSRP of ~$229 rather than the $400 to $550 I was seeing for it, when I actually paid a little attention to the pre-builts that appeared in my search. Most seemed quite overpriced, but this CyberPower unit caught my eye, and I quickly concluded I could not buy the individual components for this machine at or below the total unit cost (again, due to scarce supply and price gouging). As I've already said, I expected to get sub-par components, but the only components that I'm not really entirely satisfied with are the clunky keyboard, the black box PSU, the single stick of RAM, and the mouse, which is actually quite nice if we can fix the squeak. So, very long story short, being able to get this level of PC, at the ~$800 price range, in December of 2020, was sort of a Christmas miracle. We actually gave a little thought to buying a cheap GPU, using it, selling the GTX 1660 Super at the vastly inflated prices, and waiting for GPU supply to rebound so we could get a good card at a fair price. However, since it's not clear if or when the GPU supply will rebound, we decided to just be happy with what we had.

I was quite surprised by the quality of the components in this system, the care involved in packaging, and the quality of the documentation that accompanied it. I had never heard of Cyberpower until I looked here for a new system. I would suggest that Dell, HP, and other more well-known PC builders could learn a thing or two from Cyberpower. A lot of thought and care went into developing, building, and preparing this PC for shipping. Although I gather components can vary, my motherboard (B460M DS3H AC M) and GTX 1660 Super OC 6G were Gigabyte products and the power supply was APEVIA 600watt. The case, which other reviews describe as generic, is Cooler Master and is loaded with Cooler Master fans. It is remarkably well designed and solid and the lighting, although not something I specifically care about, is rather cool and the glass side shows it off. Everything about this system struck me as very professional. The shipping box and packing were first class and survived 4 days on various UPS trucks over about 2000 miles perfectly intact. The quick start guide was thorough enough for a person completely new to computers and the manuals and driver disks for the motherboard and graphics card were included. Everything worked right out of the box without the need to install drivers. The 8GB RAM is a single Crucial Ballistix 3000 MHz DDR4 DRAM CL15 BL2K8G30C15U4R (RED). Adding another identical board would give you 16 GB dual-channel with 2 slots left. Obviously, this is not the top-of-the-line gaming rig, but it will hold its own as a mid-range system at a very good price. Prices have recently blown up due to the bitcoin bubble driving graphics card prices through the roof and the price of this system here has increased 10% in the 5 days since I placed my order. Because this system was probably built last month and priced when graphics cards were far cheaper, the pre-built system ended up being a bargain compared to buying the components at current prices. The GTX 1660 Super current prices are about 2/3rds of what I paid for the whole system if you can even find that graphics card. I have always built my own systems, but this time, Cyberpower was the way to go after trying to gather the parts myself. Based on some of the mixed reviews here, I was not 100% sure what I was going to get, but I believe Cyberpower hit a home run with this system. I generally buy a few steps down from the top-tier performance machines and this system is fast, well built, and is the sweet spot of performance per dollar. Obviously, the B460 based motherboard is not the latest generation and is limited to current Gen 10 processors and 2666 MHz memory and PCIe 3. But it was still the best deal for now until a lot more generations pass.

I was nervous about buying a pre-built gaming PC after a witnessing the poor quality of an Asus ROG Strix GL-10DH purchased from a warehouse club (returned the next day). I've built a half dozen PCs over the years, and am very picky about components. This CyberPowerPC (GXiVR8060A10) completely changed my perspective. Almost everything about this PC impressed me. Just. Wow. 1. The case and amount of ventilation: 4 120MM CoolerMaster fans and ample case airflow 2. Next up - the motherboard wasn't some no-name bottom shelf garbage, it is an MSI B460M PRO-VDH WiFi, with dual M.2 NVMe slots both easily accessible, 4 DIMM slots, and several heatsinks over parts like the VRM and chipset. Very solidly mounted as well - no flex on the motherboard when removing and installing DIMMs 3. GPU - another legit component - Gigabyte Gv-N1660SOC 1660 Super with 2 "windforce" fans, 6GB. In Q4 2020 it's nearly impossible to buy even a good budget GPU, sold out with people reselling at inflated prices. 4. Even the DDR-4 DIMM was decent and had a heat sink. Don't care much about the fact that it was a single 8GB DIMM - ADATA XPG, I upgraded that anyway. While an Intel i5 10th gen like this I5-10400f may not be as sensitive (performance wise) to having 2 DIMMs in dual channel config as a Ryzen 3000 or 5000 series, I'd prefer that CyberPowerPC installed their 8GB as 2x4GB in dual channel config. That's about my only minor complaint 5. Even the 500GB M.2 NVMe SSD was at least a decent model - WD Blue SN550 (you can't expect a Samsung EVO 970 in a sub $1k build) 6. Price. Part of the reason my expectations were low was the ridiculously low price black Friday price I paid for this. I even called a friend and told them "Buy this NOW". The current ~$800 price is still impressive given the quality of components and overall build quality. Did I mention that even the cabling was done very neatly, zip-tied out of sight and not blocking airflow?

To be transparent: I've had the PC for about 24 hours and will be getting a $10 amazon card for reviewing but I'm going to be honest about this. I'll also say this is my first PC so I'm not coming from an experienced perspective. The last PC I used was in my parent's family room in the 90's. I'll start with the pros/cons, then go into more detail. PROS: -No proprietary parts, which means the system can be upgraded by the user over time. This is something you don't get with prebuilts from companies like HP, Dell, etc. -Large case means future upgrading will be easier. -Shipped quickly, and was packaged well within the box. -Looks pretty slick. -Decent ventilation. CONS: -Single channel RAM out of the box and only 8gb. -Stock intel CPU fan is kind of a joke, especially considering how many reviews mention problems with temps. -Case fans are 3 pin and are connected directly to the power supply, meaning they go full speed 100% of the time which creates a lot of unnecessary noise and can shorten the lifespan of the fans. On start up, this PC was as load as my laptop under a heavy load in a warm room. On the upside, its a nice white noise machine if you're into that kind of thing. -Cable management was very tight in some areas and put extra tension of several connections. This was solved by pulling some slack from the basement so not really a huge deal but still a pain. In summary: I like this PC- I think its a pretty solid starter PC with some decent-mid range specs/hardware and plenty of potential for upgrades. I think $950 is a bit overpriced and I'm pretty sure this PC used to be only $750 (with the GPU market what it is right now, I guess price increases are to be expected). Based on my research, I decided to immediately swap some components to extend the lifespan of my PC. I think with those changes I'll have a reliable machine for some time. HOWEVER, I don't think you should need to make part swaps OUT OF THE BOX when you pay almost $1k for a PC. Get it cheaper if you can, and spend that extra money on new RAM and a CPU cooler. If you pay what I did, accept that you're paying that price to have it NOW. Also, this is a small thing but the thumb screws for the side panels were WAY over tightened, which killed a bit of the initial unboxing joy. Once I rechecked all the connections, swapped the parts I planned to swap, and rechecked connections again, I booted it up. It started up and jumped into Windows set up immediately with zero problems. I installed Steam and MSI Afterburner and played some games (DOOM 2016, Horizon Zero Dawn, both of which my laptop struggled with). It wasn't an extended gaming session but temps stayed reasonable and games looked great compared to my laptop which had an MX150. I'm looking forward to a good few years with this PC. I'm thinking I'll eventually upgrade the GPU, CPU, and motherboard down the line. Which I can do, because there are no proprietary parts! More nitty gritty stuff that I would have like to see in a review while doing my research. -This CPU/motherboard combo (i5) is capped at 2666hz so keep that in mind when getting replacement RAM. -The side panel is glass (I was expecting acrylic). -It looks like they made some improvements to this case based on my research. The front panel is mesh and has 3 intake fans. It apparently used to just have slits for intake, so I'm glad they made this change. There's also open mesh on the top with a magnetic dust filter and non-magnetic mech on the bottom for the power supply. -This product is not in a discreet box, try to be home when its supposed to be delivered so no one snatches it. -A lot of reviews say their PCs just up and died a few months after they got it. My guess is that this could be in part due to overheating. I'm not an expert, so take it with a grain of salt but given how many teardown videos mention horrible temps, and how many people don't change the stock fans or even a review by a person who used their PC when the fans weren't working (?!), I think it could be a connection. My replacement CPU fan cost $30 and I think that's worth the peace of mind. I've never done anything more than a RAM swap before (in a laptop no less), so I was nervous about replacing the CPU cooler but it was pretty simple. I got a Cooler Master Hyper 212 and was able to put it in it without having to remove the motherboard from the case. Watch a youtube video or two and you'll be fine. -There isn't an obvious spot to anchor an additional SSD. There seems to be a bay in the basement, but no sleds. I have mine sitting loose in the basement right now, but I'm hoping I can find a better solution. There are two included SATA data cables in the box, which was nice. -The GPU was an MSI but it looks like that may change based on what's available. -I reseated the GPU before booting up after reading several review that had issues with it on start up and to make it easier to move around the case while replacing the CPU cooler. It is anchored by a screw on the chassis, so be sure to remove that first.

I normally build my own systems, but with the current shortage of GPUs on the market that has lead to massive price gauging, I decided that I would look at a pre-built system and save a little money. I found this system for $799 and really could not believe the price for what it had to offer. Not all the components are what I would have personally chosen, but none of them are bad. They are all quality components. Considering that I got this system for $799 when just the GUP alone that is in this system (Gigabyte GTX 1660 Super) is going for $619 all by itself, well, it is a great deal. To show you just how great of a deal it is, let me lay it all out for you. These prices are at the time of this writing on Newegg. CASE: Cooler Master NR640 = $109.00 MOTHERBOARD: GIGABYTE B460M DS3H = $ 79.00 CPU: Intel Core i5-10400F = $ 165.00 RAM: Crucial Ballistix DDR4 8 GB = $ 60.00 DRIVE: ADATA Swordfish M.2 500 GB = $ 55.00 GPU: GIGABYTE GTX 1660 SUPER = $ 619.00 Grand Total = $1087 So by buying it prebuilt for $799, I save $288 over building it myself. The system itself is very nice. It is a very clean design and visually pleasing to look at. It started up great and runs smoothly. I performed Passmark and UserBenchmark test on it right out of the box and atacched the result images to this review. BOTTOM LINE: This is a really good system for a great price. The Case, CPU, GPU, and RAM are all top of the line components. The M.2 drive and the PSU could be better. But for the money I saved by buying this system prebuilt, I could throw in a Samsung EVO 960 1 TB, a Quality PSU, and another 8 GB of ram and still have money to spare. So it is a great deal for $799. That is the great thing about Desktops, there is always room to upgrade each piece, without having to buy the whole system over again.

Overall, after having for 2 weeks now, Cyberpower put together a great package for gaming. I, like many others, have generally built my own gaming PCs to save a bunch, but Cyberpower have really put something that is truly economical to play any modern game (from the ones I tried) with max settings and still hit a minimum of 60+ FPS for 1080p gaming! My package came within a few days in pristine condition. All I had to do was plug it in and it booted up to Windows, very quickly I might add, due to the solid state drive. Once it was set up, I powered it back down, plugged in my old hard drive (which Cyberpower supplied the SATA cables for) and slotted in my 16gb of ram (it came with 8gb), but as gamers know, you should at least aim for 16gb of ram. I ended up going with 3200MHz ram, since the gigabyte b460 (manufacturer varies) motherboard it comes with caps out at 2666MHz, which allowed me to get the RAM latency down to 14 from 16. I have had zero issues with any hardware or software and it has recognized everything! Also, my setup came with a MSI GTX 1660 Super graphics card , which also just so happened to be the overlocked version, BONUS! There is also more headroom for future (years down the road) GPU upgrades with the EVGA (manufacturer varies) 600w GOLD Power Supply. Lastly, the LED tower, that comes with a remote control to change the lights or turn off, is super well ventilated. It is so spacious in there, that even with the stock cooler on the CPU, under sustained gaming conditions, the CPU hovers around 70c and the GPU doesn't even exceed 70c, while the fan noise (being highly subjective) is barely noticeable at idle and hardly noticeable during gaming with the sounds of the game. I can not comment on the wi-Fi, as I'm plugged in via ethernet, or the mouse/keyboard combo, as I already use my own, but the peripherals will make great backups, keyboard seemed to be LED as well. There is also no cd/dvd rom drive included, you would have to get an external one for this tower, but I haven't used a CD in almost a decade with everything being flash usb drive or downloadable nowadays. I have recommended this package to several of my gaming buddies, as this is beyond entry level gaming, as you can make any game look gorgeous and still with a playable FPS along with safe temperatures and snazzy LED lights and lightning fast loading times at this price point! What are you waiting for? BUY NOW, you will not be disappointed!!! P.S. See attached 3DMARK score

Ordered a cyberpower pc from amazon.com for the simple fact that i get 6 months interest free financing for using my amazon CC. the PC was built and shipped by cyberpower so it really comes direct from them. out of the box it works amazing. perfect for Steam games including Beam NG and also for Xbox online gaming such as call of duty warzone. runs all programs with no lag or anything. also the Nvidia control panel that is used for the graphics card will optimize the settings per game. so each game before you enter it, using the Nvidia control panel you can select "optimize" for the best setting. I compared this Pc with other manufacturers such as HP, Dell, and Alienware (now owned by dell) and by a spec by spec basis this PC was much more affordable. I was looking for a GeForce GTX 1660 Super graphics card and nothing less than an intel core i5 chip. also wanted a SSD for the hardrive. And cyberpower came in much less expensive than the competition for the same specs. Also the lighting package is great. it even comes with a remote that you can change colors and speeds of the lights. I didn't know this before buying so this was a huge surprise as my kid loves it. All in all it is an incredible PC, so far its taken everything we threw at it. 100% recommend.

I purchased the CyberpowerPC Gamer Xtreme VR Gaming PC for about $1095 and it is absolutely perfect for my needs. I was kind of disappointed at first, because when I started looking this computer, it was priced at around $950. But now that I am using it: worth it. It makes little to no noise, runs all the games I play smoothly and in great quality. The keyboard and mouse that were included also are of great quality. I would recommend this to anyone. Setting up was really easy, all I had to was remove the foam and plug everything up. Nothing was broken or damaged. In case anyone wants to know, the keyboard included is backlit with with white led lights which makes it easier to see. The keyboards lights color cannot be changed, it's always white. The mouse has several different colors which represents different DPI, red being the lowest and magenta the fastest. For the tower LED lights, you get a littler remote that allows you to change them, there's a bunch of different options. I included the video to show you guys what the towers color looks like.

I got this PC after doing a bunch of research, as I was not accustomed to the terminology of computer specs as I've been a console gamer my entire life. Despite it being a "mid-range" PC, it left me feeling like I just got a next gen console, with some nice bells and whistles. First, the thing looks cool. I might be a sucker for RGB lighting and all that jazz, but it really is neat to see in person. I know some cases might look more appealing than this one, but frankly I like it. Like other reviews have mentioned, it does come with a remote to change the colours, but oddly some buttons appear to be mislabeled. Like a purple button would be a bright blue and so on. It doesn't detract from anything at all, it was just mildly strange. I had fun with it for the first few days, but ultimately I left it on the rainbow setting as the marketing pictures it. Continuing on, this machine boots up incredibly fast. For comparison, my PS4 and my old PC usually took about half a minute or so to boot up. Also coupled with my PC opening up several programs on start up, I would usually expect to wait about a minute before I could start my activities. This machine destroys that time, booting up before I can power on my monitor (which by the way, usually boots up in about eight seconds). Thanks to the SSD, booting up really anything on this PC is quick and painless, and I have yet to notice any type of slowdown. For the gaming experience, it's top notch. You can expect this PC to run games on high settings or even maxed out settings at 1080p and 60 FPS or higher. The GTX 1660 Super that came with my particular machine is a tank, and if you're someone who does not require Raytracing to enjoy your favourite games, you should be set for a good long while. For reference, you can expect to play the latest Call of Duty with practically zero frame dips or hiccups on high settings. It can also run Doom Eternal maxed out with no dips below 60 FPS. I didn't just get this PC for gaming, though. I also got it for music making. The software to run virtual instruments like pianos, violins or entire orchestra ensembles requires a powerful system to run them all in real time as you're producing. While I was initially skeptical of the eight gigs of RAM that comes with this system, as it plays a large part in making sure everything runs smoothly, it appears the 10th gen i5 chip really goes a long way to making sure that's there's minimal lag while producing. Software that would shoot my CPU usage to above 200% now plays nice and keeps a steady 50% usage, even with the most demanding virtual instruments. Summing it all up, this PC has genuinely upgraded several facets of my day to day. Knowing that I can comfortably play any game with virtually no trouble, make the music I want when I want, and all of this with blazing speed tells me that my money was absolutely well spent. If you're in the market for a powerful system with the added convenience of not building it yourself, you should pay very close attention to this rig. A month later and I am genuinely satisfied.

What I like about this product, First, the package that I received was properly packed and no seems damage to the box. 2nd, those protective foam from the outer and inner side really holds the internal components. 3rd, the quality of the built and performance even if stock components like a very silent fan, 8 Gb ram, etc. how much more if I will upgrade it to the max. It is really worth buying, highly recommended for those entry gamers like me.

I bought this PC on Black Friday, it’s about $100 lower than usual. I had watched this computer for months and I'm so happy to finally get it at such a low price. It's cheaper than building your own. Mine came with MSI motherboard, Gigabyte GPU, and WD SSD. I played The Witcher 3 during the last 18 days and it runs well. The 4 RGB fans look great and could be controlled by a remote. Mouse and keyboard are included, the mouse has rainbow backlight and 4 adjustable weights, keyboard only has solid white backlight. Setup is easy, no DOA. I did my research before buying, most of the complains in reviews are about RAM and the CPU cooler which could be resolved by myself. This is my first prebuilt PC and I'm super happy with my purchase. You can’t beat the price. Highly recommend.

Overall, a good prebuild. Pros - Plug and play - Solid components, like ballistix RAM, EVGA PSU, MSI Video Card - Very fast and works right out of the box - Minimal to no bloatware - LED RGB is spot on! - Quiet Cons - Not sure if this was just for me, but the video card that was installed in my PC is 1660TI, when it should have been SUPER. Not sure if this was a mfg error. I had contacted Amazon support upon discovering this on the 2nd day to put it on the file in case I have issues and need to return/refund. However, checking online reviews/benchmarks, the Ti vs Super is relatively close, so I'm going to keep testing
