CyberpowerPC Desktop PC Gamer Xtreme 1314 Intel Core i5-2500K 8GB DDR3 1TB HDD AMD Radeon HD 6670 Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

Pros: Sandy bridge 2500k CPU is ranked in the top 30 CPUs of 2011 (even above the i7 975 965 960 and 875k) in terms of performance. The GPU for this machine is also above average (especially for the price! I expected a grabage graphics card for what I'm paying but this GPU is more than adequate for modern gaming). To top it off, 8GB of DDR3 RAM! All other computer ranked at this price have only 4GB of RAM and a low end graphics card.

It's still unbelievable how incredibly inexpensive this unit is, unbeatable physical specs at the price range. Definitely a high end gaming computer.

Cons: Only thing I don't like is the motherboard... could have been better but for what I'm paying, no complaints. The power supply can be easily upgraded and I'm anxiously waiting for this unit to arrive, will update this section later (hopefully not)

Overall Review: I've been shopping for a good dev/gaming pc for almost 2 month now. Through all my digging and research, this PC is probably the best hardware specs you can get at this price (Pre-built).

Pros: After waiting 2 weeks for Cyberpower to replace the motherboard and send it back to me, the computer finally worked great. I don't know why other customers are saying the fan is loud; the fan on this computer is perfectly quiet in my opinion. The case looks cheap and plastic in the pictures online, but don't be fooled, it looks and feels a lot better in real life. After Cyberpower fixed it, the computer worked like a charm, and I haven't experienced any problems performance-wise for the month that I've had it.

It gets to the login screen within about 10 seconds after pressing the power button, and you can basically start opening programs as soon as you login. It goes incredibly fast and run games (TF2, Crysis) extremely well, but I might be emphasizing that a little bit since before I bought this, I was working with a 2007 Dell Vostro 1510, which is a piece of trash by the way. This CyberPowerPC does everything I need it to do. The mouse and keyboard it came with are pretty decent t

Cons: 5 Hours out of the box after the initial purchase, the PC crashed and would not turn back on. I tried all of the power tests, graphics card tests, and everything else the CyberPowerPC support guy told me to do, and nothing worked. I ended up having to send it back to them, and they had to replace the graphics card along with the rest of the motherboard. I didn't get it back for another 2 weeks.

Sometimes, after hibernating the computer, when attempting to turn back on, the computer BSODs and crashes. So I just never hibernate it. Also, for about 2 days after I got it back from CyberPowerPC, whenever I budged the computer or my leg hit the side of it, the computer would suddenly turn off. However, I think that might have just been a loose cable or something, because it's fine now. Nothing happens if I budge it. The graphics card was definitely the biggest issue, when I originally got the computer back, I had to take out the graphics card and put it back in snug so the VGA port worked

Overall Review: I'm only giving the CyberpowerPC Gamer Xtreme 1314 Desktop PC 3 of 5 stars because of the bad experience I had at the beginning, with the power failure and having to wait 2 weeks to get the computer back. However, this obviously isn't going to happen to everyone. I would highly recommend getting this desktop if you don't want to spend too much money but still want a functional, upgradeable, working computer that can run modern games very well and can run graphics-intense and processor-intense programs with few problems. This computer is a great computer when nothing goes wrong. When it works, it works very well. I am pleased overall, and I don't regret my decision in getting this desktop.
