Does anyone know a lot about computers? Is this a good computer, do you recommend a different one?

CyberpowerPC was a discount PC brand that used inferior quality components and carried by Walmart, generic barebones PCs with their label on them. Their laptops were okay: basically Clevos with cheaper components. Looks like they're a bit more mainstream now, as their prices reflect.

You can get a PC that is just as powerful, with quality components, and without all the unnecessary RGB lighting for about half the price if you build one yourself using components found through PC Part Picker. Build yourself a nice, tasteful looking, mini or microATX small form factor (sffpc) desktop, without the frills and bloatware of mainstream commerical gaming PCs.

Hey, did you see that PC though? it’s all up to date parts. I am going on my brothers word and yours. It sounds like you know what you were talking about.

I breed dogs, and there’s a lot of dust, I can’t build a water cooled PC, and I want a closed environment, because of dogs there’s ALOT of dust. Like an amazing amount of dust.

If you look at the PC it has amazing parts, and I can’t get that for less, and I can’t build it, because water cooled.

I’m not trying to argue with you, I value your expertise.

Is that company so bad you wouldn't consider it at all?

Those parts come out to be like 2700, 300$ cheaper than the PC.

Didn't really mean to say the company was bad, was just relaying a little of what I knew about their background. Though I recall reading a number of pretty harsh reviews a few years back from angry customers over the company's policies and support, it's surely possible they're completely different now, more focused on quality assurance and customer service. Haven't really been paying much attention to the gaming pc market recently, tbh.

But to answer your question: yes, what I know about the company is enough for me to not consider buying from them. If you haven't checked into some recent company reviews, may not hurt.

And you may have heard EVGA broke off their relationship with Nvidia and has vowed to never work with them again, so if your card fails under warranty, it's possible that an exact replacement might not be available. Nothing against EVGA, but keep in mind you'd be buying discontinued stock and it's surely why that particular card is on sale right now. Kinda sneaky, if you ask me.

Good luck!
