Reddit reviews CYBERPOWERPC Gamer Xtreme VR Gaming PC Desktop GXiVR8080A2 w/Liquid Cooled Overclockable Intel i7-8700K 3.7GHz CPU, 16GB DDR4, NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti 11GB, 240GB SSD, 1TB HDD & Win10 64-Bit

Wondering what people think about this, especially in relation to this:

Obviously the second one is a significantly more powerful machine, and probably even a decently better savings over this one, in terms of savings per part, but this seems like the real winner in terms of value per dollar. It's 400 bucks cheaper with only slightly downgraded parts overall, yeah? Or is the difference between the CPU/GPU on the two machines REALLY enough to justify the extra 400 bucks?

That’s probably one of the best choices for a prebuilt in your budget. I’d say use the rest of the money for a top of the line monitor and good peripherals.

Took a chance on this purchase, and I could not be happier with it. Very powerful and sexy. Only thing that I will have to do with it is replace the stock cooler on the gpu (1080 ti ARMOR card with a horrendous cooler). The new cooler is coming in the mail today. Yay!

something like this would be good

One issue with every prebuilt cyberpower is the quality of the RAM and PSU. They tend to use generic brands for these parts. If you are spending good money, it might be worth paying a bit more for name-branded parts. In that case, you could consider custom ordering from cyberpowerpc and choosing a higher tier PSU and RAM. It might cost an extra few hundred, but I think it's worth it.

Sortof, id rather recommend you a PC that has an 8700k at this point so here:

if u can get the same CPU(8700k) and GPU with 16GB of ram for slightly cheaper with a 240 gig ssd and another storage drive that's pretty much exactly what you need for the high end gaming PC. Id already recommend this but if you can get it for cheaper near black friday then even better.

ah this was 1499.99 just 2 days ago :(

Welcome, compare it to this list

This is 1080 ti config with 250 gb ssd instead of 120 and the price is 200+$ higher... ending up around 1650$

I saw a great deal with this computer:
https://www.amazon.com/CYBERPOWERPC-Xtreme-GXiVR8080A2-Overclockable-i7-8700K/dp/B075VSBNQZ/

which had the 1080 ti and 250 ssd for 1500$ (it's gone now and price is now 1800$, which is > 1650$)

i play pubg and Rust

Don’t have anything 4K now was just thinking in terms of 4K gaming in the future.

I saw this today would this be a better buy? Much higher price tag but seems like a better system overall? CYBERPOWERPC Gamer Xtreme VR GXiVR8080A2 w/Liquid Cooled Overclockable Intel i7-8700K 3.7GHz CPU, 16GB DDR4, NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti 11GB, 240GB SSD, 1TB HDD & Win10 64-Bit https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075VSBNQZ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_EvHNAbXMPHHWF

If you absolutely MUST buy a prebuilt, some prebuilts do have value. Strictly because aftermarket parts are so expensive right now. 16GB of DDR4 is ~$165+ and a 1080Ti is ~$1,000+. SSDs are the only thing going down in price.


CyberpowerPC :
i7-8700k, 1080Ti 11GB, 16GB DDR4, 240GB SSD - $2,000.


Edit: I would still recommend you build your own PC. It’s so much more rewarding to build something personal and/or custom and then fine tune it to your liking. More so than simply plug and play.

Any reason to buy a 20 series? Should I wait it out, I'd like to get my PC ASAP, within a month or two. Is getting a 20 series worth the price on them? Someone linked me to this PC, and it looks pretty solid, but I don't really know enough to know if it's a good price. https://www.amazon.com/CYBERPOWERPC-Desktop-GXiVR8080A2-Overclockable-i7-8700K/dp/B075VSBNQZ/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1529356747&sr=1-3&keywords=1080ti+8700k

Alright okey. For PC I would go for something like this: https://www.amazon.com/CYBERPOWERPC-Desktop-GXiVR8080A2-Overclockable-i7-8700K/dp/B075VSBNQZ/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1529356747&sr=1-3&keywords=1080ti+8700k

The PC is very good and you will definitely have any problems with bad frames (always over 144) or lag. Don't know about the shipping to hawaii though..


For a monitor I would recommend the benq xl2411, which is a 144hz monitor. And when it comes to mouse and keyboard we all have different opinions, but I would recommend the Zowie EC2-A, and probably buy a keyboard like the logitech g pro. Hope this helped a little!

Prebuilt's aren't necessarily a bad deal (right now), but you need to search a little (spend some time searching through /r/buildapcsales) and find one that's the best bang for your buck.

For example both of these prebuilts are big step ups GPU/RAM/SSD wise compared to the one you described and they're the same price:

Prebuilt PC's aren't affected as badly I think nVidia is not gouging the OEMs like retail is doing.

My friend bought one of these after Christmas, it was only $1799 then.

Now, do I buy this for $1700 or the Cyberpower on Amazon for $1800 on backorder.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075VSBNQZ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_FukgAb6B6KHSN

Not horrible, but for 1700 USD you should be able to get a PC with a 1080ti and a larger SSD.

This one is on sale for 1500

So you're still waiting for it?

I get 5% back from Amazon so unless I can get it from a tax free source I would prefer Amazon. Been looking at this but some people say the temperatures are bad.
